   ep 142: I can't meet Christiane Amanpour in my pajamas

   In our (probably) penultimate episode, we turn into correspondents on a topic we've wanted to investigate for years: Christiane Amanpour. And to do this research, we go to the most important primary sources we could find: sub-par Hollywood sequels! What inspired Amanpour to become a journalist? Is she a good role model for Rory? And what did she think of the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix? We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Trap, Azul board game More pop culture we ref: Broadcast News; The Wizard of Oz; Good Night, and Good Luck; Pink Panther 2; Iron Man 2; Zoolander 2; The Simpsons; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides; Elizabeth Holmes; Taylor Swift; Anna Wintour; Oprah

   ep 141: Maybe Sylvia Plath wasn't crazy, she was just cold?

   In this episode, we're taking on a listener request! We're reading the works of (but mostly watching a movie about) Sylvia Plath. What is the tragedy that Rory and Lorelai allude to? Is Gwyneth Paltrow any good at playing this poet in a movie? And why does Rory love her work so much? No need to finish that copy of The Bell Jar that's been sitting half-read on your nightstand for years—we've got all the answers here! We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Inside Out 2 (Taylor's review (https://bit.ly/3VrVbkU)), audiobooks! More pop culture we ref: The Crown, Goop, Harry Potter, Knives Out, Twilight, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

[…] You, you, you just, you know, what the reaction was. And, you know, the, the press reaction. But, yeah, not enough people have seen it. I think, you know, more people should give it a chance, for sure. Yeah. Well, and Kyla and I, in our discussion, we talked about our reactions to the movie. And I was like, this was, I would watch this again with the right people because I think there's a lot, I was watching this on a plane, actually. And I was trying to keep my laughter down because I just thought their songs were so funny. I mean, from a narrative standpoint, I felt like the structure of the script had some issues, but I was still laughing all the way beginning to end of the movie. […]
