Season 2 is finally here, and Stars Hollow is literally COVERED in flowers! 🌼💍

We’re kicking off the new season with a breakdown of Gilmore Girls S02E01, "Sadie, Sadie..." (or as Carrie calls it, "The Morning After"). The 1,000 yellow daisies have arrived, but is Lorelai actually ready to say "I do"? We’re diving into the logistics of Max’s proposal, the timeline of their relationship, and why this episode left us both with a massive "exhale."

Join Hemda and Carrie as we discuss:

• The Daisy Count: Was it 1,000, 10,000, or a logistical nightmare? +1

• Max Medina’s Proposal: Was it romantic or the "worst proposal ever" to end an argument?

• Poor Lane: Why did she get the "weakest B-plot" ever with a one-way ticket to Korea?

• Emily’s Heartbreak: Suki accidentally lets the engagement news slip, and it’s absolutely devastating.

• "Football Fur Head": Richard Gilmore’s most elite insult.

It’s the Season 1 Finale, and things are getting wild in Stars Hollow! 🌼💍

In today's episode, Chemda and Carrie dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is Gilmore Girls Season 1, Episode 21: "Love, Daisies and Troubadours." From massive romantic gestures to some seriously questionable boundaries, we are breaking it all down.

Join us as we discuss:

• The Luke & Lorelai 6 AM "Cry for Help": Is Luke actually fixing the porch, or is he just having an emotional breakdown?

• "Ennui" vs "Offui": Michel is having a French crisis, and Suki thinks it’s contagious.

• The Max Medina Problem: Why does their relationship feel like Ross Geller from Friends? We discuss why the "smushy" talk makes us want to throw up.

• Rory’s Run-in with "13 or 30": We meet Dean's sister Clara, and Rory proceeds to make a child cry.

• 1,000 Yellow Daisies: The iconic proposal that had us questioning the logistics (and the cleanup crew).

In today's episode, we are breaking down Gilmore Girls Season 1, Episode 20: "P.S. I Lo..." and things are getting spicy in Stars Hollow. Rory is in a "foul mood" after her breakup with Dean, leading to an "Alternate Universe Rory" who isn't afraid to catch an attitude with Lorelai, Lane, and even her Chilton classmates.

Join Hemda and Carrie as we discuss:

• The "One, Two, Three" Marriage Game: Lorelai’s brutal rejection of a skateboarder and the awkward moment Rory "marries" Dean by accident.

• Kirk’s Asthma Attack: Why are the Gilmore girls so mean to poor Kirk?

• Max Medina vs. The Vacuum: Is Max being a "dipshit" or just trying too hard?

• Luke’s Unexplained Rage: Why does Luke "hulk out" every time he sees Dean?

• The Great Runaway: Rory flees to Hartford for a fancy breakfast with Emily and Richard, leaving Lorelai in a panic.

In this episode, Emily ventures into Stars Hollow and discovers where Lorelai and baby Rory lived when they first left home - a shed behind the Independence Inn. We discuss Emily's emotional breakdown, her amazing haggling scene with Mrs. Kim, and why Lorelai is making the bizarre choice to meddle in Luke and Rachel's relationship. Plus, Rune returns (unfortunately), Lane navigates her crush on Henry, and Emily builds Rory a boy-band bedroom she'll never use.

Join us as we debate whether Emily and Mrs. Kim are actually the same person, why freezing your bra might be genius, and how Lorelai is being the world's worst friend to Luke by pushing him toward Rachel. We also explore the painful reality of parents discovering their kids would rather live "like a hobo" than stay home.

In this episode, we meet the original Lorelai - Richard's mother, Trix - and watch Emily completely unravel. We discuss Emily's panic about losing control, Paris's disastrous first date with Tristan (thanks to Rory's meddling), and the complicated dynamics of the Gilmore family hierarchy. Plus, we plan our own tea ceremony with tiny sandwiches and debate the awkwardness of bathroom attendants!

Join us as we analyze Emily's humanization, Trix's brutal rudeness, and why Rory needs to stop playing matchmaker. We also dive into 20+ pop culture references, the mysterious new doorway at Lorelai and Rory's house, and whether trust funds actually work the way this show thinks they do.

Welcome back, Gilmore Friends! 🎬

Carrie and Chemda dive into the aftermath of Dean and Rory's devastating breakup in "The Breakup, Part 2." The hosts discuss Rory's manic cleaning spiral, the infamous Luke vs. Dean street fight, Lorelai's terrible decision to drive to Max's house, and THAT controversial kiss between Rory and Tristan at the party. Plus: Lane meets the perfect Korean boy (Henry!), rich people's sock drawers, the art of wallowing, cold Chef Boyardee confessions, and why getting to know someone has never improved a relationship. Chemda accidentally gives this episode a "yellow flower rating" without knowing its future significance, and Carrie loses her mind when Rory kisses Tristan. Spoiler: Both mother and daughter are making spectacularly bad choices within 24 hours of heartbreak

Join Carrie and Chemda as they dissect one of the most controversial scenes in Gilmore Girls history! In this episode covering S01E16 "Star Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers," they dive into Dean's three-month anniversary plans, the infamous "I love you" scene in the junkyard, and Emily's devious dinner party setup with Chase Bradford. Plus: debates about Stars Hollow's origin story, concerns about Dean's behavior, Rachel's return to Luke's life, and whether saying "it's a mother-daughter thing" is actually kind of mean. The hosts also get sidetracked discussing Hamburger Helper, Chef Boyardee, and Carrie's brief gay phase. Spoiler: They have THOUGHTS about that hand gesture.

Welcome back, Gilmore Friends! 🎬

In episode 15 of Season 1, Carrie and Chemda dive into "Christopher Returns" - the episode we've ALL been waiting for since the dramatic cliffhanger!

This week, the hosts discuss:

• Christopher's arrival and his dynamic with Lorelai (spoiler: Chemda has THOUGHTS)

• The disastrous dinner at the grandparents with Straub and Francine

• Richard's heartbreaking study scene with Lorelai

• Emily's beautiful kitchen moment with Rory

• The balcony incident (yes, THAT scene)

• Luke getting stood up (our hearts are BROKEN)

• Christopher's proposal and why it's a terrible idea

• Lorelai's overnight painting redemption

Plus: Chemda's theory about Christopher being Lorelai's "drug," Kirk sightings (he's EVERYWHERE), and why Metallica is better than The Offspring (fight us).

⚠️ WARNING: This episode runs long because there was SO MUCH to unpack! But we promise it's worth it.

🎙️ Carrie is experiencing this episode for the FIRST TIME and has BIG opinions about Christopher. Meanwhile, Chemda is living for every prediction and reaction!
