We're kicking off Season 5 with a return to the town of Stars Hollow!
Long time listeners may already know that our second episode EVER was about Gilmore Girls (though we don't recommend listening to it, it sounds pretty terrible). So we thought it was long past time to return and talk about everything we missed!
In part 1, we talk about some general thoughts about the original run of the series and A Year in the Life, how our relationship with the show has changed over the years, and some favorite episodes and moments.
We also give an overview of the other topics we plan to delve into in this series, from pop culture connections and creator Amy Sherman Palladino's other works, to a psychological look at how the show portrays various romantic relationships, to its positioning as a literary successor to the works of Jane Austen, plus more! It's gonna be a great month!
