48. March bonus: Teacher-student relationships on teen dramas 1:57

12 days ago1:57

1:57

Paris Geller isn’t the only student to get involved with a professor on teen dramas. Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine explore the many (many, many) teen shows of the ‘90s and early 2000s that featured teacher-student relationships. There are almost too many shows to count. In addition to Gilmore Girls, we chat about Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, My So-Called Life, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars - whew! First of all, why is this such a common theme on teen dramas? How has our notion of consent, and what’s appropriate, changed over the years? We discuss whether these shows romanticize kids wanting to grow up quickly, teacher harassment, and how scandalous events of the late nineties inspired these ripped-from-the-headlines stories. And, excuse us, but did the girl from Pretty Little Liars actually marry her teacher?? This is a topic best for adults, so if young ears are listening, we’d recommend popping in some headphones or airpods. Also, if topics like grooming and S.A. are tough for you, treat yourself kindly.

From stealing garden gnomes to a phony murder outside of Doose’s Market, the presence of Jess really shakes up this small, quaint Connecticut town. Today, sisters, Jackie and Catherine dive into Jess Mariano‘s early days in Stars Hollow, including the reactions of Luke, Lorelai, Rory, Taylor, and the town. Did Jess ever plan to give it a chance? Did Lorelai say too much too soon?

We’re back with Part 2 of 2 in this bonus episode recap of the 90-minute Winter episode of Gilmore Girls, A Year in The Life.

Plus, does Mitchum know about the “affair”? Pop culture references abound and, of course, we have to dissect them. From 10,000 steps to the Les Miserables movie and everything in between.

42. Rory and criticism: does she have Golden Child Syndrome? 43:41

Many fans complain about Rory’s personality after her high school days at Chilton. Did she really become a different person at Yale? Did she suffer from Golden Child Syndrome? In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine dive into Rory’s relationship to criticism. We tackle outward criticism from Mitchum that she doesn’t “have it,” Dean getting mad at Rory after Jess buys her basket, the backlash about her ballerina article at the Yale Daily News, and much more. What’s Rory’s go-to reaction when she receives criticism, and why? Catherine can’t help but bring up the Enneagram, too. This might explain why Rory can tolerate, and even embrace, some of Lorelai’s bizarre antics. Resources consulted and referenced: Enneagram Made Simple , Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober Jameka Leap of Faith ✨ If you want more Gilmore chats, join our Patreon, where we put out extra bonus episodes every month . 🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table. 👋We’d love to hear from you.

Along with being quirky, caffeinated, and fast-talking, the other common adjective some critics use to describe Lorelai Gilmore is “selfish.” Including the way she mothers Rory. Today, sisters and Gilmore experts Jackie and Catherine explore: What IS a selfish mom? What’s the difference between being selfish and self-centered? What are society’s expectations for mothers today, and why aren’t dads often called selfish? What are the moments when Lorelai put her daughter’s needs, social life, and future above her own? And finally, was it selfish for Lorelai to keep Rory from the Gilmores and from Christopher? Today is a brutally honest, “let's get real” kind of episode.
