So it's a show?: keeping up with the Gilmore Girls Kyla Taylor

What's a girl to do when she has no time to write a valedictorian speech? And what's a girl to do when she has to choose between two terrible love interests while working in the world of TV journalism? We're digging into the '80s romantic dramedy Broadcast News and trying to figure out what the hey it has to do with Rory's graduation. Why is Lorelai comparing Rory to Holly Hunter? What ethical controversy (if you can even call it that) could make Holly Hunter break up with a dreamy news anchor? And how much do we love The Incredibles? Our 140th episode has a special report on all of these stories.

We Wholeheartedly Recommend: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power; Murder, She Wrote

Other pop culture we ref: All the President's Men, Network, Mary Tyler Moore, Elsa Klensch, The Simpsons, Working Girl, John F. Kennedy, The Incredibles, Kim Possible, Barbie

Sorry if you thought we had a deep Rory and Lorelai thing—because we totally do! We're holding hands as we drive straight into our newest pop culture ref, the 1991 crime classic Thelma & Louise. What does this movie have to say about female friendships? What did we think of THAT ending? And is Rory totally a Thelma?

Because Barbra is queen! In the first pop culture ref of our final season, we finally watch and discuss The Way We Were. This '70s weepy features a Palladino-esque heroine, Robert Redford in a cable knit sweater, heartache, laugher, and Communism all in one neat package! We discuss the cultural changes in parenting since the 1970s, why the Gilmores reference this movie several times in the series, and, yes, Robert Redford in that cable knit sweater.

We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Adventure Time, The Fall Guy (Taylor's review)

Other pop culture we ref: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Out of Africa; They Shoot Horses, Don't They?; Taylor Swift; Antonio Banderas

We explain all that, PLUS talk about seeing the one and only Amy Sherman-Palladino at PaleyFest, her upcoming show Etoile, and the new children's book Gilmore Girls: At Home in Stars Hollow.

Pull on your tights and lace up your ballet slippers—it’s a Turning Point!  Why is Miss Patty obsessed with this ‘70s movie? Is Mikhail Baryshnikov a secret superstar we somehow missed the memo on?
