Town Meeting, a Gilmore Girls Rewatch Podcast (Emily, Lisa, and Sandra)

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.

We are officially at the end......of Max. This week we discuss: is it ok to do a wedding cake testing when you know someone else is making it, Kirk is handing out nude photos(or is he?), Max is officially introduced into the Gilmore Girls movie night (and Lorelai promptly freaks out about a man in bed), a super fun looking bachelorette party with an amazing story from Emily (that sends Lorelai off to call a man, not Max though!), and Luke delivers his wedding gift (is it to much?). Join us this week as we talk about some kinda blah fashion choices, one of the most amazing movies ever made, and the amazing history/culture behind drag queens.

Buckle up, buttercup, you will never guess who this weeks towns person of the week is! The Harvard application has arrived and it is time to apply to Harvard! We somehow have a true crime pod within a pod, turns out we're all old because we watched The Monkees and The Brady Bunch, everyone should watch the Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and we discuss the beginning of geek chic by our favorite audio nerd.

Audio side note, unfortunately Emily has a never ending congested nose, we tried to get out all the sniffles we could in editing, but might have missed some.

"I forgot that you existed..." - Sandra, on this episode*.  Turns out even though some very memorable things happened in this episode (like, I don't know, a fire!), Sandra totally forgot about it. Thankfully, Jess and Emily remember it pretty well - it's the Poe episode! No, wait...It's the Fire episode! Actually, it's both. Join us as we defend Nicole's frostiness (What do you mean Luke doesn't tell her Lorelai's sleeping over?), praise Lorelai's skills (both as a manager and as a mom), and question Jess's decisions (Are you working just in case you get kicked out, even though working will be what gets you kicked out?). Also in this episode: Poe. 

*Yes, that was a Taylor Swift reference.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Today, we gather to celebrate the life of one not very old 16 year old girl. We also talk: An impromptu marriage proposal (serious or not serious?), the OG Luke/Lorelai shipper that will shock you, Richard's sweet obliviousness to what's going on around him, Rory's fabulous birthday party (and the other one), and more!

It's Keg! Max! part 2 and we're back with the Usual! Bits! Sandra's got a series of quickfire music references, Emily's got all you could ever hope to learn about a band whose members are maybe married, maybe siblings, and Jess gets to the bottom of one of Lorelai's goofiest chapeaus. Grab a cup of coffee and join us for this week's quick episode!

We're back with the bits! Strap in because Sandra's got a lot of doom and gloom for us in this week's references. Emily digs into a beautiful song from a band with a rough financial history, and Jess is underwhelmed by the majority of the episode's costuming choices (ah, the early 2000s where your shirt could be rhinestoned and tokenizing at the same time!). Join us for the second half of our look at Let The Games Begin!

Bring out the pomp and dust off the circumstance, it's time for graduation! The series 3 finale is filled with a lot of endings, but a lot

of new beginnings, too. Join us as we chat about the ups and downs of the inn business, the will they/won't they of Luke and Lorelai, and the

complete and utter lack of Christopher. We say a fond farewell to the season that brought us the end of Jess, the true end of Max, the tragic loss

of Alex, and so much more.

Join us next week for the final Bits of season 3, and then tune in to our Season 3 Wrap LIVESTREAM on Saturday, May 20th at 4pm PST (platform

to be announced shortly!). Watch the @townmeetingpod Instagram page for more details about the stream.

In today's episode, we talk about our fave and least fave season 2 episodes, rank the Gilmore boys thus far, and pick our Townsperson of the Season! Also, Emily speaks like she's being fast-forwarded on a tape recorder, Sandra tells us all about the Bracebridge Dinner menu, and Jess has a forfeit to do (hint - it involves singing!).

Sandra FINALLY shares her news! Our favorite contractor returns and we question local government practices, we have possible proof that Zach was never meant to be a love interest, and btw, how old are these boys? Where does all of Lane's money come from? What love interest does Alex mostly compare to? When did Rory and Lane start doing the  hair and make up for the weddings at the Kim's? We have the mystery of Mr. Hunter, Emily has a hot take about Luke's business acumen, and possibly his fisherman acumen. But we do like Alex. Tune in this week for Lorelai Out of Water.

Hello, listeners! We are back! Er, sort of. Jess, our lovely co-host and friend, has decided to step down from the pod. We send her so much love and gratitude for all the wonderful podcasting she's done over the years, including hyping Jackson up, giving us intel on makeup and hats, and of course, calling us the b-word (we swear there's no drama!)

We're back for season 2, baby! In this episode, we discuss: Too. Many. Daisies! The boys have an off-screen, overnight glow up. Jackson commits a heinous fashion crime. Good thing there's a new Batman in town (here's looking at you, RPatz), because Luke's perfect for the role of Two-Face! Lorelai says yes... but is she happy about it?  International travel looms and there has never been a time where we needed more #justiceforLane! We talk extensively about movies, hint at exciting boys, err, things to come, and introduce a few new elements. We even got our very own troubadour to record some fresh new intros, what do you think?

We talk about Rory asking Dean to the dance, Lorelai's amazing seamstress skills, Madeline's mom and her ability to make soup, the sweet moments between Lorelai and Emily, and the not so sweet moments between all 3 Gilmore women at the end. Also in this episode, we talk about Jess's love of Twilight, our own dance experiences, and how Gen Z is full of badasses.

Chris is back in town, and he's not alone! In a refreshingly Dean-free week, Paris crushes a familiar face in a debate, Lane's under house arrest, and Rory plans and pulls off the greatest heist in Gilmore Girls history (but not without the help of a surprising accomplice!). Tune in this week to hear about high school debate topics, drink every time you hear the word "malicious" or "malice," and contemplate when the last time YOU had apple juice was. Learn the origin of the modern Maraschino cherry, figure out where you recognize the stunning Madchen Amick from, and answer the age old question: which came first, the breast or the beast? Thanks to everyone who answered our Instagram polls over the last week we have lots of listener input in this episode. Should it've been Lorelai? We'll leave that decision up to you.

Pour one out for Boy With Toothache, it's time for Keg! Max! Kyle's throwing the party of the year, Lane's as of yet unnamed band has it's first real gig, Lorelai has been drafted back into the booster club, and Jess isn't graduating. All jokes aside, this episode is notorious for a reason, and in this pod episode we have a number of discussions about consent and SA. We do so with the mindset that every viewer or listener's experiences will influence how they perceive and feel about scenes in this episode. We aren't here to make any calls about what does or doesn't happen, but we do want to share how viewing scenes like these (in GG and other comparable shows) impacted us as young people. Our comments and DMs are always open for thoughts on the episodes! And we promise, there are still lots of laughs in there, too.

Welcome to the bits.....of a still confusing movie reference titled episode. If anyone knows what face-off is referencing in this episode, please tell us! Emily and Sandra both have some potential Mandela effect going on, and we discuss that obviously any movie based in your state, you know everything about. Some fun info about the Distillers, Lane looking a little older than normal (according to some of us), and some sad Jess reflection. Sorry Jess stans, it's all down hill from here.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Emily is demanding an appearance by Lorelai at Thanksgiving dinner which gives the girls 4, yes you read right FOUR THANKSGIVING DINNERS to go to, and how did 4 separate Thanksgivings get started? We have multiple questions this episode, do "Cat Kirk" and "Human Kirk" count as distinct nicknames, is Rory polyamorous, where is Rune, does Cat Kirk have thumbs? Jess has opinions about cranberry sauce, we have a PSA for Thanksgiving day turkeys, Dean becomes a horror character, and we end with an unexpected town’s person of the week. Join us this week for the discussion of possibly the coziest GG episode ever, Deep Fried Korean Thanksgiving!

Ch-ch-ch-changes...for the podcast, but not so much for the Gilmore Girls. No, not much happens in this episode that carries over, except for the Jess Mariano of it all, of course. Join us as we discuss Sandra being a pizza snob, Jess being okay with a bad date if it means Bowie, and Emily announcing something incredibly exciting!! 

And oh, those ch-ch-ch-changes? Well, stay tuned to the very end to hear a very frank and honest discussion by the Town Meeting Gals as we discuss highs, lows, mental health, and exhaustion. (Spoiler Alert: the podcast will continue...just at a slower rate!)

The Gilmore girls have fled the Hollow and hit the road with no plan, no map, and no food! This episode left us with a LOT of questions: Are inns and bed and breakfasts really such bitter enemies? How floral is too floral, and at what point is a cat big enough to joke that it's eaten another cat? How long has Harvard been in California? Is Ladawn a style icon, or has Jess just lost her marbles? How many nuts can a Gilmore girl consume in one car ride? (Also, please do not drink every time we say nuts! We're serious!) And, the biggest question of them all... WHAT DAY IS IT??? Tune in for all this and more as we discuss The Road Trip to Harvard!

Here comes the son! Oy with the pickles already! The backdoor pilot for a show that never was, the burning question here is can you get a good bagel in California? We have the beginning of our FASFA vs Gilmore Girl going to an Ivy League school debate, Luke is a scaredy cat, Emily (Gilmore) apparently can't dress herself all of a sudden and we get our first appearance of Miss Celine! Emily (cohost) has strong opinions about Jimmy, we meet Sherilyn Fenn (Sasha) for the first time, and we discuss our prom experiences! Join us this week for Here Comes the Son!

It's Town Meeting: Oops! All Echoes edition. (Cohost) Jess joins us from her new recording setup inside an empty bathtub inside a metal coffee can filled with cotton balls. What we're saying is that her audio is not great, and we apologize for a less than stellar listening experience. 

But there's more to this episode than one bad vocal track! Including: a surprising amount of marching band discussion, total agreement that Francie is awful and the student council advisor is a joke, and Clara is possibly The Worst Child Ever. Sandra and Jess share their weird animal discovery stories, and we all continue to be icked out by the Lorelai/Dean chemistry. Also in the episode: the danger of friendship with exes, Kirk's got another new job, Trix is up to her usual tricks, and the winter carnival is here!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Call this episode "Attack of the Rune!" Today we discuss double dates, Dean needs to calm down on the making out, lying to parents (or omitting information?), the bastardization of Korean culture, and Luke asks Lorelai out!! But then gets interrupted by a frantic Mrs. Kim. Trigger warning on this episode: during reference of the week and books, we discuss murder, suicide, depression, affairs, and a brief mention of miscarriages. There is a warning in the episode as well when these are about to be discussed so it can be skipped.

And welcome to...the hockey episode. Assuming you've watched this entire series through, that's all you need to know. But boy do we have things to say! Exactly how old is Taylor? We backtrack to Halloween and talk about Mischief Night, Jess informs us of a 2000's PSA from Hilary Duff, and we discuss the friendships that could have been, but never were. Sad face. We do discuss some casual racism thanks to a rude guest at the inn, Emily shares some Indiana cuisine (no, it's not tenderloin), and we give Rory a little shoutout for standing up for herself. Also, Emily curses a little more in this episode than normal, sorry! Join us this week for Face-Off, an irrelevant reference to a John Travolta and Nic Cage movie.

It's the fallout from Keg!Max!, in more ways than one. Lane really wants to know if she's punished or not, Rory really wants to know if she's going to prom or not, and Lorelai really wants to know if something happened in Kyle's bedroom or not. In this episode, we discuss Dean maybe pulling a Max (and/or a Christopher), reconned long lost fathers who stepped out for diapers (and never came back), and some tough parenting calls (so long Jess!). Join us as we lament Dave/Adam's early exit, laugh over a podcast kitty blooper, and of course, wonder where did all the ham go?

Everyone should absolutely drop what they are doing and go watch Moulin Rouge if you haven't seen it (starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor), there are some coats to die for (you know which ones), and a bit of Town Meeting Pod Gossip at the end.

Anyone want two stale Poptarts and a Slim Jim, and if so, are you willing to shell out $52.50 for it? Yes, L's, G's, and NB's, the Annual-Never-To-Be-Seen-Again Basket Auction is happening (Sponsored by Doose's Market, of course)! In this episode, we discuss unofficial first dates, bad boyfriends /and/ bad girlfriends, and mother's either supporting or opposing their daughters. Weirdly enough, supporting is worse. Also in this episode: Sandra cannot say another word (this time "cinematography"), Emily tries to explain the Fountainhead, and Jess defends Sookie's outfit with her life. Come join us as try to figure out just what the heck is in Rory's basket.

TW: there is some mention of sexual violence/rape in the books section.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Call it the tangent episode! We talk Snickers vs. Milky Ways, KFC vs. other superior chicken, and Cedric Diggory  vs. every other Robert Pattinson character. And oh, yeah, we also talk about Gilmore Girls: Max Medina, yelling at Tristan, and everything in between. Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be feature in future episodes!

Rory Gilmore is coming out! Out of what you ask?  Well, it's not the closet. She is officially a young lady of good breeding and marriageable age, complete with a dowry. Chris is kind enough to show up (for once), Richard is straight up mean to Emily, Dean asks possibly the only stupid question, apparently 4 out of 5 debs marry their escort (who knew!?), Jess has the ultimate cosplay, and we discuss the dangerous days of downloading music from the internet. Join us this week as we discuss Rory Gilmore officially becoming a young lady!

We start this weeks episode with an unexpected Gilmore grandparents fuzzy feeling! I did not know those even existed, we meet Tobin for the first time, and then fantasize about the potential future that could have been. We discuss disgusting cakes along with the proper cake to frosting ratio, turns out the world's largest pizza is in fact....large, we date ourselves with a reference and with what (our) Jess does when she just needs to do something, and we cannot say Antonioli's(?). Also, what do you think? Did Richard make a good investment? Was Lorelai in the right for paying off the loan when/how she did? Join us this week for Lorelai's only birthday, may she be 35 forever.

Lorelai is graduating from business school and Rory decides to celebrate with CRIME (specifically truancy). In this episode: learn all about Washington SQUARE Park (even though we call it Washington State Park about a dozen times, west coast best coast! - xo Jess), continue our study of Jess Mariano's eclectic literature preferences, and even learn a surprising character detail from his shirt! Seth MacFarlane wants to eat the rich (specifically Emily Gilmore), Jess (cohost) manages to squeeze the words "boss baby" into the episode, and Sandra schools us all on what is and is not "the big apple." Spoiler alert: Burbank, California is not New York City. Join us for what is both the penultimate episode of season 2, and potentially the best Dean/best Chris episode of the  entire series???

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Today we discuss teacher/student nicknames, NC-17 makeouts in public, and our utter bafflement about Chilton's Parents Day logistics. Sandra spills the tea on the OG mean girls movie, Emily digs into the all important Proust novel, and Jess makes her most divisive fashion proclamation yet. Also in the episode: casual animal cruelty, Chad Michael Murray's cyclical acting career, and oodles of Max/Lorelai relationship gaslighting!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.  In this episode we discuss more scary doll media (looking at you It's a Small World), the complete impossibility of how time works in the Gilmore world, Tristan is nice (WHAT??), pink and green together (fashion trend or faux pas?), and of course the aftermath of the infamous break up. Other highlights from this week include:  Rachel wearing the Luke's diner uniform, a rich kid party with no alcohol and very few actual kids, a discussion on wallowing (harmful or helpful?), and the real fashion faux pas of this episode, Max Madina's cardigan. Unfortunately, we do have to put a disclaimer on this episode for the audio quality, Emily and Sandra both had issues with their mics this week. While we've done the best we can with the editing please bear with us, this will be fixed.

It's time for the most anticipated conversation of Season 2! We talk about..."A Film By Kirk." Oh, also, there was a car accident or something. Sandra introduces a new but hopefully not used to much segment, we have a slightly different approach to Towns Person of the Week, we say goodbye to one character (for all of 2 minutes), and another starts to weasel his way in again, (also, for all of 2 minutes). Join us this week as we discuss how Lorelai treats Jess like the antichrist, Luke shows his true colors, Rory continues to be treated like a child, and we do an in depth scene by scene script reading of "A Film by Kirk."

The season 4 opener!! Wait, no. Episode 2! It just feels like the season 4 opener. We recount our own dorm experiences, Sandra makes a season 1 connection with some mean girls, the mattress of hell that should be in a horror movie, and while we do talk briefly about ASP's ability to make real people, she does not understand that college kids will do nearly anything for money.

Bet you didn't expect 2 taxidermy references in your Gilmore Girls podcast! Today we discuss the pros and cons of margin writing, career aptitude tests, and a really nasty book. Tune in to hear our thoughts on The 14 Phone Calls, tricked out first aid kits, Michel's fabulous mother, and more! Listen til the end for some of our current favorite TV show recommendations. 

Minor language warning: due to a pronunciation/articulation mishap Jess winds up shouting "B*TCHES" into the mic twice. Don't worry, it's very funny, but your great grandma or other delicate ears might not agree!

It's time for the bits! We have some fun references to some surprising guest starts and their relations, we all do our best True Blood "Sookie" impressions (don't judge), Rory repeats a books (unhelpful for the books section), Jess discusses some iconic Lorelai fashion, and some Lane dress up fashion. Sandra and Emily might fight, and we have the great coffee debate. Join us this week for Lorelai Out of Water Part 2!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. The bad news: Emily had a bit of a time travel accident and ended up having to record today's podcast via carphone from the 80s through a wormhole, so the audio situation isn't ideal. Even worse? The time travel rescue team only accepts 5 star Apple Podcast ratings as payment! If only we had some friends with a few of those to spare...

The good news: Today, get ready to giggle as we talk about Emily in Wonderland! We have a full out laugh attack about one of Luke's photographs, the 2000s boy band battle still causes friction in the 2020s, Lorelai and Rachel - clones, or maybe separated at birth? Attack of the Rune 2: Rune's Return is an unwelcome surprise. Jess and Sandra do some unpaid advertising for Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers, and the whole gang gets caught up in sleuthing out the Gilmore  girl's secret post-potting shed apartment. Lace up your jogging shoes and join us!

Welcome to the Cursed Episode...aka the episode where Jess and Sandra almost lose the will to live, and Jess just straight up quits within the first 5 minutes of the pod. See, once upon a time, this episode did feature 3 hosts who cheerfully broke down Michel's collegial experience, debated Joe's and Sookie's intentions, and even discussed Billy Burke's mustache in detail, but that episode has been lost in the ether. So forced to (kind of) pull a Taylor Swift, this episode has been re-recorded, albeit minus one pregnant host who had to do some bed rest. Join Sandra and Jess as they try their hardest to do a podcast without Emily's wisdom (or zoom screen share). Also, in this episode: is Sookie a whore? (Spoiler alert: no.), should Michel give out his boss's number? (Also, no.), and is Francie worse than Christopher? (No, but almost).

"Hi, it's me. I'm the problem, it's me!" - the swan who beaked Jess, probably. Join us as we talk about "it" (as in sex!), our love for Lorelai's perfect man (who is not Luke?) and embarrassing mothers (Mrs. Kim, come on!). Also in this episode: frank discussions on birth control, knowing when to leave a fight with your partner for later, and whether or not we confided about "it" with our own mothers beforehand. 

Just as a general cw: sex, although not in detail, is brought up and discussed, mainly towards the end of the episode.

Jess tells us about Intolerable Cruelty with Ed Hermann...and we wish she didn't, Emily does not know what a parfait is, we still wanna know Babette's story, we discuss Headmaster Hamlet Charleston, and is it considered cheating that Sandra just sped watch all of Season 1?

Come join us in this week's episode where we discuss teenage melodrama, shopping at Bloomingdale's, and having naughty phone calls with Max Media. Also in this episode, we answer the following questions: "Is salt and vinegar chips for masochists?", "Would you be okay walking in on your SO getting dressed by someone else?" and also, "Just what day is it in Gilmore land?" Oh wait, scratch that last question, because we're pretty sure no one knows what day(s) this episode takes place. And don't worry: we talk extensively about Rory's behavior in this episode. Our girl is pisssssed! #justiceforLane

Run away little boy! Are we talking about this being Tristan's final episode, or the fact that apparently Lorelai went on a casual date with a young man the entire town of Stars Hollow has decided is too young for her? Luke is in a mood, we have the great video rental debate of 2002, the beginning of Brad (spoiler, we love Brad), Chilton needs better photoshop skills, and 1968 Romeo looks like Zac Efron and Dave Franco had a love child.

Jess has been up to some mischief that is finally coming to light, Rory is pushing for a truce between Lorelai and Jess, who likes her, but doesn't like like her, and follows it up with some absolute panic, and Luke makes a crazy (but necessary?) decision. Join us as we discuss the mysteries of the Caesars, some speculation on Jess's trauma, and Taylor's rise to mob boss of Stars Hollow. And of course, the big questions. Did Luke go out and buy a single bed post Rachel? Is Rory more freaked out about losing an item precious to her, or about what Dean's reaction will be? And finally, how on Earth does she go 2 (or is it 3) weeks without even noticing it's gone?? Let us know what you think!

Are we...back? Doing an actual podcast? Uh, yeah we are! Join us this week in which we talk about casual (and blatant) racism (Thanks Mia!), fake small town murder (Thanks Jess!) and bad business "meetings" (Thanks Lorelai!). Also we ask questions such as: "Just what is a rum ball?" and "Did Luke Get Eric Matthews'd or Joey Tribbiani'd?" and of course, "Just what kind of chalk did Jess use to have it still be there after multiple washes?". Join us this week on a new day as we celebrate our return and also shout-out Ellen, who we gave us a wonderful Christmas gift!

The wait is over! Here's our big surprise... we were lucky enough to record this episode with the one, the only: John Cabrera (aka Brian Fuller)! We had a BLAST discussing this episode with John. Join us as we discuss John's/Brian's first episode, hear about John's experience of being cast, and learn the surprising role he wanted more than Brian! We chat about the villainization of Shane, learn why the background actors always look a bit too old for high school, and we roast the heck out of a bad purple wig. We're so grateful to John for joining us and sharing about his experience and thoughts on Gilmore Girls as a whole! Grab yourself a snack and a drink and get cozy to enjoy this oversized episode. And don't forget to send your angsty Dave Rygalski fanfiction to John!

Find more from John as @unboiled on Instagram, and learn more about his current project, @remarkist on Instagram or remarkist.com!

"Shannnnnnnnne, come back!" In today's episode, we fight through the boring (sorry not sorry Francie!) to get to the...Christopher! It turns out these actors sure can act! Also discussed: the Sherrie/Shane parallel, cursed movie adaptations, and of course, Fodderwink (you know, the kid from the Yearling?). Join us this week as we continue to absolutely despise Christopher and wish Lorelai would just shut the door already.

This week, Lorelai and Rory both get major shade for not being involved enough in the Chilton world, leading to Rory partaking in illegal activity and Lorelai becoming a booster mom. Apparently almost marrying a teacher doesn't count? And neither does having the frenemyship of the century? Also in this episode: the first Twilight reference of the season, American Cheesegate, the magic of Walkmans, friendly childhood kidnappings, an inconceivably brief fashion show fundraiser, and the mother/daughter outfits to rule them all!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. In a rather heavy episode, we discuss some weird tension between two unlikely characters (Lorelai and Dean? So weird!), calling for pizza and then going to a diner (what happened to Joe, Lorelai?), and of course, 'the event' (and how we feel about it). Also in this episode, we debate over Luke Danes, talk about Charo and agree that Chandler and Monica > Ross and Rachel. (A small content warning: topics such as death of a parent/grandparent as well as grief are discussed.)

Join us this week as we delve further into the Lord of the Rings/Naked Guy/Digger Stiles episode as we explore past Nickelodeon stars (was anyone else obsessed with Avan Jogia like Sandra was?), dramatic af novels (seriously... we have to attach a warning to the episode because of it!), and all things Chanel N°5 (aka how to smell *rich*).

Serious Content Warning: In Emily's section, the book Atonement by Ian McEwan is discussed. There is mention of sexual assault, both real and fictional within the context of the book, so take heed. If you need to skip the section, Fashion with Jess starts at 19:30.

Oh baby! It's the flashback episode, baby Gigi is on the way, and Sandra and Jess turn to resident pod-mom cohost Emily to get the 411 on all things birth and delivery. Honestly quite a bit of pregnancy and birth chat today, so if that's not your jam you might want to sit this one out. Also in this episode: Patty is a sex pest, SO MANY question about pickles, regrets about school trips not taken, find out which TM cohost missed a meeting with the pope, and are Jess and Dean besties in your AR fanfic? If so, please share. 

Some of you may remember this is the episode we watched with John over at Remarkist! Let us know if you were there or if you found us that way!

Happy New Year!! And we start off the year with kind of a celebration episode? There is a wedding, just not necessarily one we want to watch. It's Dean and Lindsey's wedding this week! But of course, the biggest event of this episode, is that Rory CUT HER HAIR!!! How could she?!?!?! We do have some very valuable life lessons in this episode. Opening a business is expensive, and dying your hair damages it. You are welcome. We do have a lovely matchy matchy outfit, some Luke retcon discussion, we recap our own bachelor/bachelorette party experiences, and of course, the age old question of chicken or beef?

Spoiler alert: Luke will always be there for Lorelai - always. We also go over all the Town Persons of the Week we had and decide on our Town Person of the Season. Tune in to see if it's your fave!

Take the Deviled Eggs Part 2! We have all the references, books, and fashion you can handle for for this episode. We have a reference that's a weirdly dark...joke? Beloved childhood books, and is Rory wearing a jean vest? Sandra is deeply hurt by some audio left on the cutting room floor from our episode with John Cabrera (aka Brian), and Jess has a fun life announcement! We are eternally grateful for the response to our new schedule and so incredibly thankful for the support from you all. Join us this week for the second half of Take the Deviled Eggs!

Wayward Circle and Windward Sisters Part 2! Apparently all credit has to go to Jess to keep Sandra and Emily on track, cause when she's not here we talk so much. Anywhoosers, what was the spin off supposed to be called again? Sandra fills us in on the scoop behind Windward Circle and what Milo was up to afterwards, Emily gives us the skinny on a movie and an actress, and confuses 2 actors who look nothing alike. Can you guess which ones? Cause they're not on GG. And we promise, Jess will be back next week for the season finale!! HOW ARE WE THERE ALREADY???

TW: Very brief mention of a suicide attempt in the movie reference

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. One super sized episode coming up! Be forewarned, there are a lot of inappropriate/dirty jokes made. Christopher has officially arrived, and we have a TON to say. Kirk has some fantastic heckling, and then finishes it off with a not so great joke, the largest book known to man is in stock at Stars Hollow Books, and Jackson.....also has a lot to say. What do you think? Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or Billy Crudup? Luke gets ditched, and the icing on the cake is dinner with the grandparents. ALL of the grandparents. Emily has a beautiful shining moment, and Richard has the opposite. Tune in to our first 2 hour long episode!

In part one of this dramatic-but-sort-of-disjointed episode, we talk about movies (Sandra talks about eleven!!! different movies, all referenced in the span of two minutes), academics (Town Meeting's official statement: at the very least, get your high school diploma, and for pete's sake, stop trash talking trade schools!), tutoring smart boys (and emotionally cheating on your angry boyfriend with said smart boy), and paths in life (college? no college? how about being a journalist in a war-torn country?). Also discussed: Luke treating Rory like an adult, where did Jess learn his magic tricks, and of course, the Yearling. Be warned, we absolutely lose it towards the end of this episode!

Cocktail parties and canapes obsolete? Not if Lorelai and Sookie are catering! Unfortunately, Jason has other plans. And of course, we have Rory's infamous study tree. Jason may be off to a rocky start this episode, but we're all excited for Lulu's first appearance!

Welcome to season 4, Townies! We start back in Stars Hollow after a small hiatus, where Sookie has bought every blue item in Stars Hollow, Taylor keeps talking about nuts and tips, and of course, the Gilmore Girls are back in town - at least, for a while because hello, it's the start of the Yale Years!!

Pink hammers? Newspaper veils? Xuxa? What do these things have in common? Well, obviously, the Gilmore girls. This week we discuss: the fact that Rory totally does have extra-circulars already (which does not excuse her potty mouth); Lorelai wanting a man at her wedding shower (no, not her fiance); and Sookie being the world's best friend (even if she does sometimes sticks her foot in it). Also in this episode: we talk fashion choices (there's a difference between granny chic and just granny!), love songs (that will not? keep you together) and references (anyone rolodex?). Speaking of fashion, Dean's no longer wearing his trusty leather jacket. Could a new leather jacket wearing boy be on the horizon? Time will tell.

This episode got unexpectedly dark, with Emily (Gilmore) starting off the episode with who should we kick out of the family mausoleum. Don't worry though, they'll just throw Rory in with Lorelai. Rory somehow becomes the face of censorship in Stars Hollow (and gives us a dark reference out of it), Jess (Mariano) continues to impress us by running with the bits, we get Richard vs Dean round 2, and Taylor is redeemed with a new cardigan! But also is trying to own the entire town of Stars Hollow and create his own seedy underbelly, with Kirk as manager at all of these businesses. Join us to discuss Richard's adventures in Stars Hollow! 

TW: there is some mention of sexual violence/rape in the references section.

Put on your big comfy eating pants, because we've got an overstuffed Bracebridge Dinner episode for you today! It's exactly the kind of cozy winter episode we've been craving. Stars Hollow's finest gather together for an all expenses paid dinner slash slumber party, and as you might expect, hilarity and drama ensues. This episode has everything: furtive glances, snowman crime, peacock pie, secrets from spouses, Cher slander, horse drawn sleighs, and a lot of anachronistic yet charming period costumes. Tune in this week to hear from Sandra about how you can attend the REAL Bracebridge Dinner, learn from Emily about an Icelandic music prodigy with an unmistakably cool vibe (no, not Dadi Freyr, the other one!), and ask yourself just how many TikTok references Jess can cram into a single episode before the other hosts tell her to knock it off.

Lorelai goes full diner girl persona, we might have the best B plot ever with the battle of the vegetables between Taylor and the 2nd Town Troubador, and Emily Gilmore continues to be the original Luke and Lorelai shipper. Join us this week as we discuss the seriousness of setting up a voicemail message, rate floral arrangements, try to decipher Rory's motivation for bossing Jess around, and see Lorelai be possibly the best friend ever.

Hey, listeners? I cannot stress enough that this is NOT the episode of our beloved pod that you should turn on when passed the aux cord during your family holiday travels this weekend. Your sweet little grandma's heart just couldn't take it. You've been warned! Tune in if you dare... 

In this episode: Sandra hits the highlights in an especially reference-heavy episode and we talk a lot about Grease and Halloweentown, Emily takes us to hell (literally), and Jess talks both present and past fashion as we wrap up the flashback episode. Stay tuned til the end for a look at our Spotify Wrapped results and a holiday message from your hosts! We'll be back with a new episode in 2023!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. We miss concerts!!! Today we discuss the Chilton girls' visit to Stars Hollow, Lorelai revealing herself to be a packrat, and how an ugly sweatshirt creates equally ugly drama. We pour one out for the wasted poptarts, discuss our extensive concert history (everything from Coheed, to Yanni, to the Jonas Brothers), and eagle eyed East-coaster Sandra knows a fake NYC concert hall when she sees one. Also in the episode: bad Wicked seats, a Brandon Routh sighting, the Bangles in all their glory, Animal Crossing Stars Hollow, Lorelai's BIGFOOT HAT, and more!

"Grandma broke into my dorm and redid the entire common room in $25,000 worth of furniture..."

Rory and Lorelai are officially trying life on their own (sort of) and we're discussing how they handle stealth dorm redecoration, last minute party planning jobs and friends' unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately) timed meltdowns.

GUYS! The episode we were all waiting for has arrived! There is a new boy in town, and he is here to cause t r o u b l e. Come join us as we talk for a literal 2 hours over Jess Mariano, his amazing gray sweater, and whatever the hell is in that log decoration. Also in this episode: popped air mattresses (that smell like smoke), Sookie's ability to cook Thanksgiving dinners at a whim (or Lorelai's volunteering), and getting back at your nephew (by pushing him into a lake!). We learn about Nick and Nora (and Sid and Nancy) with Sandra; talk puffy vests on Jess (...with Jess?); and talk all about Howl with Emily. How much is much, indeed.  (CW: Serious topics such as addiction/alcoholism, child neglect, and 9/11 are mentioned and discussed. Be advised!)

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Are those...flags flapping in the distance...red? Why, yes they are! Welcome to Red Flags, the Episode - also known as the episode where Rory cannot spend an evening alone without getting interrupted by her friends, getting yelled at by her "saint" of a boyfriend, or eating her damn Indian food. We had so much to say about There's the Rub that we split it into two parts, and part 2 is (after a week's delay) here! We talk all about Rory and Dean (it's okay to breakup! We promise!), Rory and Paris (don't freeze any bras!), and Rory and Jess (yes, he's just a friend, but also, blatant flirting alert!). Also in this episode: Sandra talks Shakespeare, brothels and jazz, Emily tells us all about Jack Kerouac, and Jess has some good and bad thoughts on Lorelai's wardrobe. Tune in this week to hear three woman really double down on their dislike for Dean Forrester. Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes!

It's time for the bits! Jess' audio still hasn't recovered from its Oops! All Echoes accident last week, but it's on the mend! In this episode:  Sandra hits the highlights of the many name drops, Jess shares a Stuart Fact and thinks Rory looks chic, and Emily has some recommended reading for anyone who wants to get a leg up on their work frenemy or maybe just simply win a war. We're still in our pre-recording frenzy as we prep for the Big Life Event that Sandra continues to tease...

This week on the bits, Sandra mishears a clearly said word, Emily tell us all about Poe and his frankly awful life, and Jess brings us back to Stars Hollow with some jammies. Not going to lie, listeners, we were clearly tired in this episode, so expect a little loopiness.

CW: Discussion of some pretty rough topics during Emily's section, including alcoholism, vices, and marrying 13 year old first cousins.

Here's our review of this episode: It's...an episode. Yes, this Gilmore girls episode has everything: cheerleaders (Lane! Ska! White tights!), basketball (Pep Rallies! New Coaches! Red Uniforms!), Chilton drama (PSAT's! Mean Girls! Poland Spring water bottles!), and of course, termites (Kirk! 15 Grand! Loans!). All interesting things, for sure!, yet none of these events are ever mentioned again in Gg canon. Join as we wonder about Emily's intentions, the crap shack's original selling price, and where the hell did Jess Mariano go? Also in this episode: Sandra cannot say a specific word (in her defense, the word is Algonquin...), Emily tells us all about the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Tim Curry, anyone?), and contrary to popular belief, Jess does not want to steal Jackson's pajamas (Made by Xerox?). What an episode!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Welcome to Mini Ep #2, where we take a Buzzfeed quiz to determine which of Rory's boyfriends is our soulmate (and get a surprising answer). We spend the rest of the episode sorting our favorite Season 1 characters into their Hogwarts houses. Find out what happens when two Hufflepuffs and a Slytherin take on the role of Sorting Hat in our second of four mini episodes! Hopefully by the end you'll be able to answer these important questions: Does Sandra like NYC? Are Jess and Emily actually the same person? Is Lorelai Harry Potter? Can Jess make #ToxicGryffindor a Thing? And which character is getting locked in Azkaban?  Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. In this episode, great ol' great-grandma Trix comes into town (don't worry! She brought her own rabbit.) and we discuss wives vs. mothers (come on Richard!), filming car scenes (badly), boys being mature (look at you Tristan! Such growth!) and not being like other girls (grr!). Other highlights from this week include: lizards that look like angels, clown donuts, water bras and defrosted chocolate cakes. And oh yeah, Rory's half a million dollars that go *poof!* because of a fight during high tea. Oh how the Gilmore live. 

Unfortunately, we do have to put a disclaimer on this episode for the audio quality, Sandra had issues with her mic this week. While we've done the best we can with the editing please bear with us, this will be fixed. Next episode, new mic! What up!

So turns out this episode is called "Ballrooms and Biscotti," we apparently didn't feel like saying that in the episode discussion. I promise there was no editing that removed Emily humming "Que Sera" in the background of Sandra's reference.....we have a 2000's pop punk princess, and Lisa deep dives into the Europe trip. Join us this week for the bits! Thankfully, with no disclaimers.

Ladies and gents, this here is an S-tier podcast episode. That's right, this episode manages to hit every one of the Super Six talking points:

1. Speeches (C-SPAN!)
2. Sex talk (Paris!)
3. Soapbox (We have Big Feelings about how society pressures young women!)
4. Sneezing (Allergy med induced ex run-ins!)
6. Snail mail (Kirk is the worst mailman ever!)
7. Smut (We end up talking about 50 Shades of Gray somehow!)

Joins us this week as we discuss The Big One, an episode that evokes a lot of emotions, many of them negative - but we still manage to have a good time!
