Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x15 That's My FoodLorelai is dealing with the aftermath of her and Luke's breakup the best she can, but we all know she's missing him. He's obviously missing her, too, but he's too stubborn to say so. Not even Fiddler on the Roof can bring these two together. And Rory and Marty's friendship is put to the test when Logan and his idiot friends can't play nice.2023-05-121h 09Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x14 Give The Man His SpaceFollowing the disastrous wedding, Luke and Lorelai are on the rocks. All Luke wants is a little time. But Lorelai has never been a patient person. What does it mean to "hang out"? Is it casual? Are other people involved? Logan and Rory set the record straight. 2023-04-141h 15Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x13 Wedding Guests Twice RemovedGilmore Girls is celebrating its 100th (episode) birthday and it's jam-packed with wit, sarcasm and drama. It's everything good television is all about. We're also talking about television greatness and mediocrity.2023-03-311h 24Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x12 Kirk of All TradesRichard and Emily are finally back together. Rory has a crush that's bringing out all her insecurity, but was Logan leading her on? Lorelai and Luke have settled into a nice routine, while across the street at Mrs. Kim's house, Zach is being a really shitty boyfriend. 2023-03-171h 20Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismBonus Episode - Interview with Khalisa RaeWe interviewed the incredible author and activist Khalisa Rae to talk about the food of Gilmore Girls, the power of nostalgia, and breaking up with our favourite shows.2023-03-171h 02Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x11 Girl, Hooker, Prostitute, KirkIt's snowing, and there's a reenactment - we've seen this before. But this time, Kirk just wants to make Taylor happy. Christopher's father died, and while most of us don't care, Lorelai and Rory want to make sure he's okay. But we start to question them when the guilt and the lying kick in. 2023-03-031h 22Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x10 Chuckles in NepotismRory's hosting a Chilton student and loses her while dealing with the aftermath of Logan's prank. Luke has a DARK DAY that Lorelai doesn't know anything about. Self-centred much? Do you know who's cuter than Pushkin? Literally everyone.2023-02-171h 26Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x09 The Slightest SlightsThe Gilmore Girls are trying to figure out what's going on with the grandparents but they have very different approaches. Christopher is back, even though his daughter asked him not to show his face. Rory can see right through her mother, and Lorelai doesn't like it. And we're asking the tough questions! What couple's breakup made you ugly cry like Sookie?2023-02-041h 25Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x09 The Slightest SlightsThe Gilmore Girls are trying to figure out what's going on with the grandparents, but they have very different approaches. Christopher is back, even though his daughter asked him not to show his face. Rory can see right through her mother, and Lorelai doesn't like it. And we're asking the tough questions! What couple's breakup made you ugly cry like Sookie?2023-02-031h 25Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x08 - Shipping Companies in EscrowThe party is definitely over. Rory and Dean are over! Praise be! Emily and Richard are manipulating Rory and trying to pawn her off on the highest bidder. Lorelai and Luke should be getting romantic, but Liz and TJ won't stop yelling. But that kiss...2023-01-201h 27Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x07 They're Smitten and Passive-AggressiveWe've already talked about it, but we're still so disappointed in Lane's story and her first date. Luke is re-meeting the parents and they're being straight-up hostile. The scheming has begun. And I think we can all agree that this is the beginning of Logan and Rory's romance. They're already adorable. 2023-01-061h 22Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x06 Why Him?Things are heating up in the newsroom while Paris returns to her old self and Rory starts her journey of self-doubt. Norman Mailer is stopping by the inn and we have to wonder why ASP would subject us to such a misogynist. Finally, and unfortunately, it's the return of Christopher which brings with it Lorelai's blinders. Don't tell me that Rory doesn't know exactly who her father is...2022-12-231h 34Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x05 Bop That!Things being awkward between a separated Emily and Richard? Normal. Zach ignoring Lane after she told him she likes him? NOT NORMAL. Lorelai wanting to make things less awkward for Rory and Dean? Normal. Lorelai wanting to double date with Rory and Dean? NOT NORMAL.2022-12-091h 19Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x04 - First Lady of Stars HollowTwo episodes into this relationship and anyone with eyes can see that Rory and Dean's relationship isn't going anywhere. Lorelai's learning that being a girlfriend means taking your partner's feelings into account. And the town is ready for a change. But is Jackson ready to be a leader? No. He said so himself.2022-11-251h 09Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x04 - First Lady of Stars HollowTwo episodes into this relationship and anyone with eyes can see that Rory and Dean's relationship isn't going anywhere. Lorelai's learning that being a girlfriend means taking your partner's feelings into account. And the town is ready for a change. But is Jackson ready to be a leader? No. He said so himself.2022-11-251h 09Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x03 It's Not ComputingThis is not a drill! Luke and Lorelai are finally going on their first date! NOT. A. DRILL. But is their intimacy a little weird? Conversation during the date leads to the discovery of a lot more plot holes. While Emily and Richard's separation is in full swing, Rory's heading back to school and meeting new people and a new love interest.2022-11-111h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x03 It's Not ComputingThis is not a drill! Luke and Lorelai are finally going on their first date! NOT. A. DRILL. But is their intimacy a little weird? Conversation during the date leads to the discovery of a lot more plot holes. While Emily and Richard's separation is in full swing, Rory's heading back to school and meeting new people and a new love interest.2022-11-111h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x02 Boring Slut EraThere are filler episodes, and then there's THIS filler episode. We're taking a deep dive into the episode that didn't give us much. Lane might have a crush on Zack, Rory and Lorelai make up, Emily Gilmore's in her slut era frolicking around Europe, and Dean refuses to take accountability. All that, and yet, we're still so bored. 2022-10-281h 16Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism5x01 DickmatizedWe're back for Season 5! Could you imagine waiting a whole summer to watch see what happens after the biggest cliffhanger in Gilmore Girls history? Rory and Dean did something bad. Lorelai and Luke did something good.

We're talking about queer characters, Dave Rygalski, wordle, diverse and lazy writers' rooms, and future Gilmore considerations.2022-05-061h 10Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismSeaason 4 Recap - with Samantha GrindellWe're joined by Insider's Samantha Grindell (@sam_grindell) to recap all things season 4!2021-09-031h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismSeaason 4 Recap - with Samantha GrindellWe're joined by Insider's Samantha Grindell (@sam_grindell) to recap all things season 4!2021-09-031h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x22 The Audacity of This...It's been a long season but we made it! The will-they-won't-they storyline between Lorelai and Luke is finally here - but it did it live up to your expectations? Rory and Dean are doing something naughty, in more ways than one - but is Rory really to blame? Emily and Richard finally spill their secret - but do we really care?2021-08-201h 45Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x21 Dancing With My EmotionsFamily dynamics are on full display in the penultimate episode of the season! Everyone just wants to brush everything under the rug and never talk about it again. Well, tough! Lorelai and Luke are getting their very special moment and it is perfection. Rory and Jess are having a less perfect moment, but the tears are rolling freely. Excuse us while we go scream into a pillow! Why, Amy!?2021-08-131h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x20 Can You See The Cats?We hate (not really) to keep coming back to Jess, but it's kinda hard when ASP makes him such a big part of the episode. Lorelai's feeling down about her relationship's demise, while Luke is on the hunt for a relationship of his own. When Paris finally realizes that she's not about that Geezer Life, said geezer pulls her back in with his tricks and schemes. And who would have thought that two married kids with no income or plan to speak of would be having marital problems! Certainly not I!2021-08-061h 28Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x19 Poignant ConfrontationsWe're confronting everyone this week! Jason is left stranded when Richard tries to protect his family, and Lorelai is put in a tough spot. Paris is slowly unraveling when it comes to Asher and we get to the bottom of their relationship and the power imbalance between them. Lane yells at New Lane and feels left behind.2021-07-301h 23Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x18 Dropping Bombs and AnvillesA Friday Night Dinner scene with the most pointless conversation reveals something much deeper about the show and its relationships. A second dinner with old friends turns sour when Floyd decides to sue Richard and Jason. Carole, you're a shady bitch! You knew all along! What happens when an 18-year-old gets married right out of high school and you're still pining for your ex? Dean happens! Jeffrey's also teaching you about what soap operas and Amy Sherman-Palladino have in common.2021-07-231h 23Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x17 Tie Your TubesIt's Paris' trip and we're all just along for the ride! We're talking about all things Spring Break and how it's portrayed in American media. We are once again pleading with you to reconsider your Jason opinions because he really is the best boyfriend Lorelai has every had up until this point. And you asked us to talk about the latest episode of Scott Patterson's podcast and, against our better judgment, we're doing it.2021-07-161h 28Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x16 Grief, Thou Art a Fickle BitchThe Original Lorelai Gilmore dies leaving behind her a path of destruction that has only been matched by a category 5 hurricane. How much does Emily Gilmore have to take!?2021-07-091h 27Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x15 Soul-Sucking DementorsThe brilliance of season 4 strikes again! This week's episode is all about Emily Gilmore and her obvious (to us) depression and feelings of inadequacy. That final scene in the episode is *chef's kiss!*. We're also taking a closer look at Dean, since the writers insist on shoving him down our throats, and Jeffrey makes a somewhat accurate analogy. Were you afforded sick days as a child? No? Neither were we! We're also sharing childhood stories that involve surgery.2021-07-021h 13Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x14 Breakdowns and FailuresThree Lorelais, three breakdowns - one more enjoyable than the other two. Gran is back and she's causing problems, like usual. You know who else is back? We don't even wanna say his name! We hate him! Sookie's showing us exactly why we have so many issues with her, the girls are missing each other and running to the men in their lives for comfort.2021-06-251h 26Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x13 We All Hate You, You Little Bastard!This is the best episode of the entire season - fight me! The writing, the character development, the plot, the dialogue... We can go on and on. Jess is causing turmoil all over - from the townspeople to his family members to Rory, who, according to Lorelai, is completely over the situation. If you look very closely, you can see the rift forming between Richard and Emily. In the final moments of the episode, we learn another interesting fact: Rory can't run.2021-06-181h 11Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x12 Quirky, Bubbly, Flawed, Abusive MotherAre you familiar with the films of Demi Moore? You're about to be! When that conversation is over, we're talking about all the storylines in this episode, and it's chaotic. Lane and Mrs. Kim are still at odds, as are Paris and Jamie. Luke's sister, Liz, is in town and we're learning more about her relationships with the men in her life. Trauma? Abuse? So much of it where Jess is concerned! He's clearly having some issues that we're going to discuss.2021-06-111h 18Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x11 I'm Putting My Foot Down, Parents!There are three story lines in this episode, but let's be honest, we only care about one of them. The Lane vs. Mrs. Kim battle 4 years in the making is finally gracing our screens and we have so many feelings! Because we also have to talk about those pesky Gilmore Girls, we're exploring Luke and Lorelai's friendship/communication issues and why people think that Rory believes she's the center of the universe.2021-05-211h 17Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x10 Crepes in the Guest RoomLet's get something straight: friends don't just casually talk to each other about culs-de-sac. The "s" is silent. We're seeing a more human side of Michel, until he rolls baby Truman under the bed, and we're getting to know Jason, his traumatized dog, and his little quirks that lead us to a bedroom straight out of a magazine. Paris' new relationship has us questioning Rory's character and asking ourselves, "why do people cheat?"2021-05-141h 13Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x09 Romances from the HoodIt's the podcast that keeps on giving! No, we're not talking about THIS podcast. We're talking about Scott Patterson's podcast, I Am All In. After we analyze his thoughts, we move on to Yale, where some heterosexuals are doing something with a ball - no homo! And we meet Brennan the Frog Guy. There've been a lot of frogs, man.2021-05-071h 12Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x08 A Jug Full of Body IssuesThere's a new podcast in town and we're positive it doesn't like us. Are the Gilmore Girls fatphobic? Is ASP fatphobic? We're discussing one of the most glaring instances of fat shaming from the show and talking about our own body issues. The marriage jug storyline may not be as useless as we once thought, Lorelai thinks Luke's life is her life but her life isn't Luke's life and Emily's feeling the life she always had slipping away.2021-04-301h 11Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x07 The Digger You DeepIt's the only episode to win a major television award and for good reason! The costumes are gorgeous. But are the performances as amazing? Kirk is doing some light reading to prepare for the role of a lifetime and the band is auditioning new guitarists (spoiler alert: not all of them are winners). Have you ever heard of a couple wanting to get divorced and date at the same time? No? Is that not a thing? Didn't think so.2021-04-231h 17Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x06 Broccoli Tree TartHave you ever freaked out so badly that you paid someone 20$ for a tree? Neither have we. Have you ever gone to a party and said, "Hmm, you know what I need? A broccoli tart!" Neither have we.2021-04-161h 06Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x05 Petty Betty is Dating ColgateThe claws are out! Jeffrey and Eleni get into a heated debate when talking about Rory's college dating life. Lorelai is being her usual petty self and bringing an unsuspecting interior designer down with her. Sookie and Jackson decide on a baby name and it's terrible - but so is the alternative. Looking to watch other people's drama instead of creating your own? We've got a new show for you!2021-03-261h 28Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x04 Ginny & Georgia & Rory & DeanThink Ginny & Georgia is a knockoff version of Gilmore Girls? Think again! We're talking about why the two shows are nothing alike and how Netflix original shows have failed us. Back in Stars Hollow, Rory's home from college and for some reason wants to go to her ex's wedding? Oh, and her ex didn't even ask his future wife if that was okay! Oh! And! The groom is still in love with his ex! So. Much. Drama.2021-03-191h 31Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x03 Mouse Piss TeaWe're continuing our discussion of cancel and celebrity culture by bringing Britney Spears into the mix. Then, we're talking about Paris settling in at school, new characters (some better than others), the beginnings of Richard and Emily's rift, and the failed attempt to give Sookie a deeper story - which has us wondering about society's treatment of overweight women.2021-03-121h 19Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x02 Ivy League Hellos and GoodbyesThe Gilmore Girls are heading to Yale and running into familiar faces and meeting new ones. Could this be the best episode of Gilmore Girls ever? We discuss. We're also talking about an essay by Robin Silbergleid, who notes that if Lorelai was Black or poor, she wouldn't have been such a great role model in the early 2000s.2021-03-051h 31Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism4x01 Welcome Back, KindaWe're kicking season 4 off with what we do best - talking about something else for the first 20 minutes of the episode. Once we do get around to talking about episode 1, we've got lots to say about Lorelai being annoying, Luke being insignificant, Sookie and Jackson being trash and Rory growing up. Unfortunately, we also have to address a certain father/sperm donor and the real-life bullshit *he* has put people through. We also touch on cancel culture and accountability and analyzing shows you've never seen. We missed you!2021-02-261h 29Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismThe Mike DiCenzo InterviewWe sat down with Grammy Award-winning writer and comedian, Mike DiCenzo. He's not a writer for Gilmore Girls, but he definitely should be after that viral Twitter thread about the show's characters during the pandemic. We talked about all things Gilmore, the enduring resonance of the series, Rory's disappointing character arc, and lots more. (@mikedicenzo on Twitter and Instagram).2021-02-121h 04Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismBonus Episode 3 - Quarantine Queries - Gilmore GaysWe couldn't send you off this year without one more episode! More questions, more discussions, more shouting and so much more Gilmore Girls - and gays!2020-12-181h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3X19 It All Seems So FinalElection anxiety? You're not alone! We're here for you, though. We're addressing the toxic environment that is Instagram and how it hinders mental health. There are real people behind the podcasts. We have REAL emotions. It's the final episode of season 3 and it's jam-packed with content - which is why certain scenes got deleted. The Gilmore Girls have an optimistic future ahead of them and are trying to leave their bullshit in the past. Until next time!2020-11-061h 35Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x18 Neglected, Expensive SpinoffThis episode is all about Jess - but it's not all roses and sunshine. We're still pulling back Jess' layers while also talking about what could have been with his very own show, Windward Circle. Graduation is imminent and Rory is stressed. You know what's not helping? Emily and Lorelai acting like children.2020-10-301h 30Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x17 The Kids Aren't AlrightIt's the first time that this show has made us sad! Rory, Jess and Lane are all going through some shit and we feel for them. Lorelai needs to rethink the way she sees the people in her life because it's starting to get on our nerves. Fran's dead and Jeffrey being happy is not even the worst thing about the way people are reacting.2020-10-231h 26Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x16 Traumatic LazinessThis week's episode is all about Jess! Kidding! But are we, though? We're diving into Jess' character development and solving the mystery of why so many people in the fandom are Team Jess. Lorelai and her insignificant romances are being especially annoying and we're talking about yet another plot hole. Honestly, these inconsistencies are driving us insane!2020-10-161h 15Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x15 Stereotypically BookishWe're back from our brief hiatus! We're discussing the completely chaotic week that is Lorelai Gilmore's 35 - or 36th? - birthday. We're tackling gender stereotypes in real life and in pop culture and imagining what life would have been like for Jess and Rory had things gone according to our fantasies. Need something to read during the second lockdown? Goodreads has nothing on us!2020-10-091h 26Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x14 Poe-ing With FireRory's got a tough decision to make even though she's already made it, right? Jess makes Employee of the Month, but at what cost? The Gilmore Girls are getting the side-eye from Lindsey and Nicole sparking the jealous woman debate all over again. The inn catches fire while the Poes are in town and can we all finally agree that The Raven is a trash poem? Nevermore!2020-09-251h 10Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of CynicismSex and Morality in Gilmore Girls - An Interview with Samantha GrindellIn this very special episode of the podcast, we got to chat with the amazing Samantha Grindell, reporter for Insider and author of the article "Gilmore Girls" has a problem with Rory's sex life. We're talking about Rory's sexuality and the message the show sends to young girls and women and so much more!2020-09-231h 04Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x13 California SpansionChris Evans' salacious picture starts a conversation about women and how we need to do better by them. Luke and Lorelai are involved in off-screen romances until the reappearance of Max shakes things up. Sookie finds out she's pregnant which brings out the worst in Jackson and Rory is a good friend to Paris when she has her breakdown. Sorry Paris, love Harvard.2020-09-181h 11Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x12 Millennials Say, Go Team!On this week's episode, we're FINALLY spilling the tea on Scotty P. Then, we're going on a quick 1 mile run to the Stars Hollow Arena - wherever the hell that is - to discuss Rory and Jess' communication issues and Kelly Bishop's incredible skills.2020-09-111h 06Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x11 What's With the Swangs, Amy?We're answering more questions from the audience! Burnout, Jason, books, and Meghan McCain are just some of the topics we touch upon. We're discussing the meeting between Jess and Emily and how it really must suck to have everyone constantly judging you. Trust is a key part of this episode and Rory really needs to work on trusting Jess. Sex? Teenagers thinking about sex? Teenagers HAVING sex? For shame! Rory definitely wants it, but should Lorelai know that?2020-09-041h 21Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x10 Flashing Backwards and ForwardWe're answering some of you questions because we missed interacting with you. Jess or Luke, Dean or Christopher, Ben Platt or Chris Evans. All will be revealed. Our discussions on the flashbacks quickly turn into speculations about the future. Is it possible for an abortion storyline to exist in the Gilmore Girls world? We both agree that if anyone can make it happen, it's Amy Sherman-Palladino. Remember kids! Your body, your choice!2020-08-281h 20Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x09 Depositions and NostalgiaEver heard of Cousin Oliver Syndrome? It pops up (maybe) in Gilmore Girls. Emily is being sued and literally NO ONE is surprised. Rory and Lane's friendship has us looking to the future while Paris blows up her own friendship. Charlie Swan makes an appearance, becoming the show's most forgettable boyfriend.2020-08-211h 14Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x08 Feeling Safe With DivorceOh, did you come here for Gilmore Girls content? Tough! Eleni's sharing an emotional story about her late father and how Yanic Truesdale played a part in one of her happiest memories. Jeffrey's taking issue with people thinking they're the center of the universe and putting words in his mouth. We also end up talking about episode 10 of season 3 and how much we hate Gran.2020-08-141h 20Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x07 Everybody's a BabyThe Emmy nominations have everyone freaking out about some alleged snubs. Spoiler: they're not snubs. We said what we said. The Gilmore Girls have BIG Thanksgiving plans and Lorelai's attitude leaves us wanting to give her a BIG smack. Kirk's got a cat and Little Edie makes her debut.2020-07-311h 06Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x06 Musical Moments: The Early YearsTrue to our word, Eleni is sharing the FRIENDS moment that drives her nuts and we're calling on people to do and be better because you can't erase the past. Richard tricks his granddaughter into a meeting at Yale, Lorelai's true nature comes out, and the fallout from the Dance Marathon finally brings Jess and Rory together2020-07-241h 09Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x05 Dance Like Jess Is WatchingIt's the episode we've all been waiting for! Who's ready to dance! There's so much drama among the townsfolk and we're LIVING. Special shout-out and congratulations to Pericles Philippopoulos, PhD!2020-07-171h 06Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x04 Buns and EggsNeed a new workout during quarantine? Don't worry, Eleni's got you. You'll have sculpted buns in no time! Speaking of buns, we're talking about Sherri and her bun in the oven. Lorelai and Rory party with the gang and end up decorating Jess' car in what might be the best display of their iconic relationship.2020-07-101h 02Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x03 5 O'clock, Time for Band PracticeDid you know that wearing a mask can save your life and the lives of others? No? Well, now, you do! We don't wanna hear any more excuses or see any more bare faces! This week we're talking about how Emily and Mrs. Kim are twinning when it comes to parenting. Lane and Rory each throw a fit, but one is more valid than the other, and Lorelai is apologizing, but for once, she doesn't have to.2020-07-031h 23Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x02 The Audacity of Growing UpThis week we're diving into the minds of Kirk, Emily, Dean and Christopher. We're still mad at Christopher, but what else is new? It's also the introduction of Dave Rygalski and Lane's new musical story line. The early 2000s are a weird time for pop culture and not even Queen Amy Sherman-Palladino is immune to misogyny. The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, 70s sitcoms, college applications, tuition fees, and so much more!2020-06-261h 39Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism3x01 Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of COVIDOh, how we've missed you!

Everyone okay? Staying home? You should be! Coronavirus has us on edge. When we're done venting about this international anxiety attack, we're talking about the aftermath of the car accident. We're taking aim at rich people and early 2000s writers for feeding us problematic expectations about the men protecting women. Lane discovers her passion, Rory has a long overdue breakdown and the Gilmores keep building walls that no one can break through.2020-03-201h 00Coffee With a Shot of CynicismCoffee With a Shot of Cynicism2x14 Movies We'd Study With JessWe're so conflicted with conflict!

Yeah, we're confused, too. Lorelai and Jess agree to get along for Rory's sake, but things go horribly wrong because they're too similar. Introverts unite! Rory's plans are derailed when Paris and Jess show up. She doesn't mind, until Dean shows up. In the market for some new pens?
