Sinopse

We're a podcast attempting to keep up with the pop culture references on Gilmore Girls. Each episode, we chose a new reference from the show, be it a movie, tv show, or work out guru, dive into the media, and explain to you and ourselves what Lorelai meant by it.

Episódios

  • ep 142: I can't meet Christiane Amanpour in my pajamas

    16/08/2024 Duração: 44min

    In our (probably) penultimate episode, we turn into correspondents on a topic we've wanted to investigate for years: Christiane Amanpour. And to do this research, we go to the most important primary sources we could find: sub-par Hollywood sequels! What inspired Amanpour to become a journalist? Is she a good role model for Rory? And what did she think of the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix? We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Trap, Azul board game More pop culture we ref: Broadcast News; The Wizard of Oz; Good Night, and Good Luck; Pink Panther 2; Iron Man 2; Zoolander 2; The Simpsons; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides; Elizabeth Holmes; Taylor Swift; Anna Wintour; Oprah

  • ep 141: Maybe Sylvia Plath wasn't crazy, she was just cold?

    19/07/2024 Duração: 38min

    In this episode, we're taking on a listener request! We're reading the works of (but mostly watching a movie about) Sylvia Plath. What is the tragedy that Rory and Lorelai allude to? Is Gwyneth Paltrow any good at playing this poet in a movie? And why does Rory love her work so much? No need to finish that copy of The Bell Jar that's been sitting half-read on your nightstand for years—we've got all the answers here! We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Inside Out 2 (Taylor's review), audiobooks! More pop culture we ref: The Crown, Goop, Harry Potter, Knives Out, Twilight, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

  • ep 140: My little Holly Hunter in Broadcast News

    14/06/2024 Duração: 52min

    What's a girl to do when she has no time to write a valedictorian speech? And what's a girl to do when she has to choose between two terrible love interests while working in the world of TV journalism? We're digging into the '80s romantic dramedy Broadcast News and trying to figure out what the hey it has to do with Rory's graduation. Why is Lorelai comparing Rory to Holly Hunter? What ethical controversy (if you can even call it that) could make Holly Hunter break up with a dreamy news anchor? And how much do we love The Incredibles? Our 140th episode has a special report on all of these stories. We Wholeheartedly Recommend: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power; Murder, She Wrote Other pop culture we ref: All the President's Men, Network, Mary Tyler Moore, Elsa Klensch, The Simpsons, Working Girl, John F. Kennedy, The Incredibles, Kim Possible, Barbie

    31/05/2024 Duração: 34min

    Sorry if you thought we had a deep Rory and Lorelai thing—because we totally do! We're holding hands as we drive straight into our newest pop culture ref, the 1991 crime classic Thelma & Louise.

    17/05/2024 Duração: 36min

    Because Barbra is queen! In the first pop culture ref of our final season, we finally watch and discuss The Way We Were. This '70s weepy features a Palladino-esque heroine, Robert Redford in a cable knit sweater, heartache, laugher, and Communism all in one neat package! We discuss the cultural changes in parenting since the 1970s, why the Gilmores reference this movie several times in the series, and, yes, Robert Redford in that cable knit sweater. We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Adventure Time, The Fall Guy (Taylor's review) Other pop culture we ref: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Out of Africa; They Shoot Horses, Don't They?; Taylor Swift; Antonio Banderas

    02/12/2022 Duração: 24min

    No one knows how to hurl an insult like Paris Geller—maybe it’s because her inspiration is Danny Bonaduce! In this short and sweet episode, we trade the la la-filled soundtrack of Stars Hollow for the la la-filled songs of The Partridge Family. What was Bonaduce’s role on the ‘70s family sitcom?

    04/11/2022 Duração: 59min

    This episode is going to make our ratings bigger than Watergate! Rory is taking her fashion inspiration from another 1976 movie and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. What is the legacy of the classic Network? What about Maureen Dowd’s pumps say “come hither” (if anything)? And what do these inspirations mean for a journalism panel Rory is participating in?

    21/10/2022 Duração: 46min

    It’s a George Clooney double feature! In honor of his new rom-com with Julia Roberts releasing today (Ticket to Paradise), we’re watching two movies he starred in (and one he directed) that are referenced in the Gilmore Girls season 6 episode “You’ve Been Gilmored.” First it’s the 2002 sci-fi drama Solaris, in which Clooney is investigating some weird behavior in outer space, and then it’s the 2005 journalism docudrama in which Clooney is investigating some un-American behavior in the newsroom. What is the story of Solaris? To what famous journalist is Paris comparing herself? What did audiences and critics think of these movies? And did the Oscar buzz get to George Clooney?We Wholeheartedly Recommend: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, CheersOther pop culture we ref: Mickey Rooney, All the President’s Men; Ocean’s 11; I Know Who Killed Me; mother!; The Tender Bar; The Wicker Man; Good Morning, Vietnam; Dylan ThomasCheck us out on Instagram!

  • If I could only find a man like Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings Replay!)

    07/10/2022 Duração: 01h17min

    Lorelai is looking for a man like Aragon (um, Luke much?), and we’re looking for an excuse to talk about some of our favorite movies. We love The Lord of the Rings almost as much Dean does, and we have almost as many memories of watching these movies and reading the books by J.R.R. Tolkien as we do of watching Gilmore Girls. Whether they’re naming their pets after characters, planning a LOTR birthday party, or eating elevenses, the residents of Stars Hollow are referencing these movies almost as much as the presenters at the 2004 Oscars did! Plus, we talk why it would be great to be a hobbit, why we still love Orlando Bloom, and what we know about the upcoming Amazon series.Other pop culture we ref: The Godfather, Casablanca, Star Wars, Titanic, Ben-Hur, Katy Perry, Dawson’s Creek, The Shape of Water, The Sandlot, Zoey 101, The Italian Job, The OutpostCheck us out on Instagram!
