Oy with the recap podcasts already! Your favorite Gilmore Girls TikTokers, Tara (@tarallew) and Haley (@gilmoregirlygirl), have been watching this show since before they were old enough to attend Chilton. Nearly two decades, multiple rewatches, and several cups of coffee later, their babbling capabilities are still infinite. Come hang out with them as they discuss the writing, the relationships, the parallels, and who is the father of that baby. This show stopped airing years ago, but Tara and Haley always have more to say.

Kiss and Tell Me Luke and Lorelai Were Better As Friends

Kiss and Tell Me Luke and Lorelai Were Better As Friends

June 3rd was just last week, so Tara and Haley were inspired to go back to the beginning of the slow burn of Luke and Lorelai. The classic friends to lovers story. They had a magical friendship, but that doesn't always mean a magical relationship. Why did everything go so wrong for them? Why is there such a lack of communication in a show with so much dialogue? Were they better as friends or better together? Grab a coffee and get comfortable because the girls have more to say.

Last Week Fights, This Week Engaged

This week, Tara and Haley are revisiting all the proposals and weddings on Gilmore Girls!

Grab a coffee and get comfortable because the girls have more to say.
