So It's A Show?: Keeping Up With The Gilmore Girls

Have you ever dreamed of getting nicknamed the "King of the Clarinet"? Too bad—it's already taken. Kyla and Taylor are talking the King of the Clarinet Artie Shaw in this episode, including why he thinks we're morons and his connections to Gilmore Girls. (And Peyton Place!) Plus, the return of Easter Egg Hunt! If Netflix brings Gilmore Girls back again, here's hoping we'll see adult Rory tap dancing while dressed like broccoli.

Gossip at the country club! A real-life murder plot! Men grabbing women above the elbows! Kyla and Taylor dive into the drama and scandal of Peyton Place, including the 1956 novel, 1957 movie, and 1964-69 TV show, and somehow end up mentioning The Simpsons, Star Wars, and Casablanca along the way. PLUS, A new segment: Easter Egg Hunt! (Also, Taylor regrets she couldn't remember a single title of a movie that the super-talented Mia Farrow has starred in while recording. Some of her best-known roles are in The Great Gatsby (1974), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), and Rosemary's Baby (1968). Taylor especially loves her performance in Hannah and Her Sisters.)

We ask, "Is this even a pop culture reference?" in this episode. Spoiler alert: Yes. Kyla and Taylor talk about tons of people nicknamed Moose, including Archie's best buddy Moose in Archie Comics and another Moose that Gilmore Girls fans will probably be fans of. Also, listening to this episode is like winning $20,000. You're welcome. Music: "Rise and Shine" by Seastock.

We're already breaking from our show mold because we had to talk Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life! We've got thoughts on the final four words (if we can remember them correctly) and a theory on what Amy Sherman-Palladino would have done if she hadn't left during season 7. Plus, Kyla dishes on why she loved Emily's storyline, and Taylor does her best to control her disdain for Logan and the Life and Death Brigade. Music: "Rise and Shine" by Seastock.

*Just a note before you start listening, our format has changed since we started airing this show 4 years ago, so you might want to skip ahead to our season 2 episodes to get a better feel for our show. Enjoy! Today's episode of SO IT'S A SHOW? is all about Jack Kerouac. We are referencing Gilmore Girls episodes 101, 216, 501, and the 1st trailer for A Year in The Life. (But don't worry—no spoilers for the new Netflix episodes!) Also, we know we that guy in Luke's diner is named Joey, not Mike. He was just that forgettable. Music in this episode provided by Snowflake "A Foolish Game" and Seastock "Rise and Shine."
