- 1:09Speaker 2: Jess fashion to get into. Jess is introduced in this
- 1:12Speaker 2: episode and to varying degrees of joy to me in
- 1:20Speaker 2: terms of his clothes. Because this is again I just
- 1:23Speaker 2: want to reiterate. I just want to make sure you
- 1:25Speaker 2: guys are ready. We're not talking about the acting. Okay,
- 1:27Speaker 2: We're not talking about the story that's been done. That's
- 1:30Speaker 2: old news. We're talking about the clothes only. The clothes only.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And after I go through each of the beats of
- 1:39Speaker 2: the episode, I'm going to talk about this stuff that
- 1:41Speaker 2: I liked, the stuff I didn't like, and then we're
- 1:43Speaker 2: going to give it a final evaluation at the end.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I would love for you to play along at home.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I would truly, truly. They'll give me so much joy,
- 1:51Speaker 2: So please do it with me. Maybe watch the episode
- 1:55Speaker 2: while we do this. How fun would that be?
- 1:56Speaker 1: Huh?
- 1:58Speaker 2: But without further ado, let's dive in with both feed Okay,
- 2:03Speaker 2: let's dive in as if Luke is pushing us into
- 2:05Speaker 2: a local lake this episode. Costume designer Robin lewis West,
- 2:11Speaker 2: the same legendary woman who will be running the ship
- 2:15Speaker 2: for many, many more episodes to come. But I like
- 2:16Speaker 2: to remind you, guys who is in charge. We open
- 2:20Speaker 2: things up at Luke's diner. Loralai is wearing a maroon
- 2:27Speaker 2: top with a yellow flower detail near her upper left chest.
- 2:31Speaker 2: This suck out at me right away. She's sitting there
- 2:34Speaker 2: eating breakfast in the diner. This reminded me of the
- 2:38Speaker 2: top she is wearing Loralai is wearing when she gets
- 2:41Speaker 2: engaged to Max when he does that crazy demonstration of
- 2:45Speaker 2: like a million I can't remember how many flowers, thousands
- 2:47Speaker 2: of the yellow flowers. And she's wearing a top in
- 2:53Speaker 2: that scene with a bunch of yellow flowers along the neckline.
- 2:56Speaker 2: It's very cute. We talked about it on this very show.
- 2:58Speaker 2: You can go back and listen for yourself. However, in
- 3:01Speaker 2: this scene, now this is a couple episodes since she
- 3:04Speaker 2: has denounced the engagement, they have broken things off. She's
- 3:09Speaker 2: wearing a top with much fewer flowers, probably one or two.
- 3:13Speaker 2: The rest have wilted and died away. Symbolic, I think so.
- 3:18Speaker 2: I think that was intentional. Not much else to report
- 3:23Speaker 2: from this. From this particular scene in the diner, she's
- 3:26Speaker 2: just wearing. She's wearing like gray pants. It's it's whenever.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I was captivated by the by the top and the
- 3:33Speaker 2: presence or lack thereof of flowers. Okay, Jess arrives and
- 3:38Speaker 2: stars hollow. Jess has made landfall. Oh boy, oh boy,
- 3:43Speaker 2: these outfits, these outfits. I want to prepare you Guys,
- 3:49Speaker 2: if you're listening to this this podcast, you have watched
- 3:53Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls all the way through. I'm going to assume, okay,
- 3:56Speaker 2: because we Scott on the main feed there, he's on
- 3:59Speaker 2: his second run himself. If you're watching Gilmi Girls the
- 4:02Speaker 2: first time and you're listening to a guy recap it
- 4:05Speaker 2: for the second time, I think that would be that's funny.
- 4:08Speaker 1: That rules.
- 4:10Speaker 2: However, I'm going to assume you have seen this before,
- 4:13Speaker 2: so I'm not spoiling anything by saying this episode is
- 4:15Speaker 2: a magical mystery tour of the fabric of thermals.
- 4:21Speaker 1: This is a.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Greatest hits when it comes to thermals. Just wears so
- 4:26Speaker 2: many thermals in this episode. His closet must be staggering
- 4:31Speaker 2: that the amount of thermals he has in there. This
- 4:33Speaker 2: is what we've seen in one episode. My god, he
- 4:35Speaker 2: must have so many. The first one we see him
- 4:38Speaker 2: in when he lands and Stars Hollow, he's wearing a
- 4:41Speaker 2: camo thermal long sleeve. He's got a navy vest, very
- 4:46Speaker 2: baggy lucky jeans, and he's kind of weird like utility boots.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I kind of dug the outfit. It's it's weird, but
- 4:55Speaker 1: I kind of liked it. I don't know.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Out of everything else in the episode, I this one.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I this one tickled me a little bit. But something
- 5:02Speaker 2: I really did not like. He's got a watch with
- 5:05Speaker 2: a big, old thick leather strap. We've talked about this before.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I remember who else what other character war one, Maybe
- 5:12Speaker 2: it was maybe it was a luke. Another character wears
- 5:15Speaker 2: a watch like this. It's like a it's just a
- 5:18Speaker 2: very very thick like I want to say. It's like
- 5:21Speaker 2: I'm looking at my own wrist trying to kind of guess.
- 5:24Speaker 2: It's like, I won't say, an inch and a half
- 5:25Speaker 2: maybe two inches thick leather band with a watch like
- 5:29Speaker 2: kind of stitched in. It's it's wild. I don't again,
- 5:34Speaker 2: I think I said this before. It's more of a
- 5:35Speaker 2: gauntlet than a watch band. I don't like these a
- 5:38Speaker 2: guy I work with, whereas when it always gives me
- 5:40Speaker 2: the it gives me the ick. I'm not afraid to
- 5:42Speaker 2: say that it gives me the ick big time. This
- 5:44Speaker 2: also happens here with Jess. Really didn't like that watch band.
- 5:48Speaker 2: But the camera thermal was pretty cool. I think that
- 5:50Speaker 2: it's pretty neat. It's almost like he just got out
- 5:53Speaker 2: of basic training and was ready to be deployed and
- 5:56Speaker 2: to start as Hollow. Now let's jump ahead a little
- 6:00Speaker 2: bit to Jess's welcome dinner. Lorelei is so kind to
- 6:07Speaker 2: throw him kind of a welcome to stars Hollow. Let's
- 6:10Speaker 2: get to know you dinner party with Suki and Jackson
- 6:13Speaker 2: and Rory. They're at Lorelei's house. Souki's cooking the meal.
- 6:18Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be delicious. I mean, they're so kind,
- 6:22Speaker 2: so nice, But Jess is a Jess is going through
- 6:25Speaker 2: a lot. Clearly he doesn't want to play ball. But
- 6:29Speaker 2: as we move through this dinner, let's go start in
- 6:33Speaker 2: the kitchen. Suki's cooking the meal with Jackson. He looks great.
- 6:37Speaker 2: He's not wearing his work his work overalls. He is
- 6:41Speaker 2: dressed to impress. He's wearing this like very dark, deep
- 6:45Speaker 2: purple sweater with these ribbed sleeves.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Looks very comfy. It fits them well.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Suki's wearing a lighter purple sweater but complimentary, and she's
- 6:55Speaker 2: got an apron with a bunch of chickens on it.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It's very very cute. They're wearing calmed many colors. Here.
- 7:00Speaker 2: My lovely wife, Alison pointed, out that they often are
- 7:05Speaker 2: wearing complementary colors because they are they're in love. We
- 7:09Speaker 2: shall say they are in love, and that is shown
- 7:12Speaker 2: by what they're wearing here. They're both wearing shades of purple.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And there is an eggplant on the table, which kind
- 7:20Speaker 2: of it's opposite Jackson in this particular shot, and if
- 7:25Speaker 2: you look at him and then your eyes, I think
- 7:28Speaker 2: are drawn to the eggplant because it's a similar shade
- 7:30Speaker 2: of purple, and then to Sookie. It's kind of making
- 7:33Speaker 2: your eyes jump around the scene looking for similarities.
- 7:35Speaker 1: We are human beings.
- 7:36Speaker 2: We're always looking for patterns, and this is just kind
- 7:40Speaker 2: of a fun, well composed scene. It's so over the top,
- 7:44Speaker 2: and so it's so Gilmore girls, it's so maximalist.
- 7:47Speaker 1: They're in the kitchen.
- 7:48Speaker 2: There's just bushels of apples and trays of root vegetables,
- 7:54Speaker 2: just so much stuff going on to remind you that
- 7:58Speaker 2: there's just a lot happening here, and that is what
- 8:02Speaker 2: we love about this show. So yeah, I just want
- 8:06Speaker 2: to say that Jackson looks very nice. Suki looks nice too,
- 8:08Speaker 2: but Jackson, we don't get to see him look like
- 8:10Speaker 2: this very often, so that's pretty pretty fun. Jess has
- 8:14Speaker 2: arrived at the dinner. I guess it's worth pointing out
- 8:18Speaker 2: that Lorelei is wearing just like a like almost a
- 8:21Speaker 2: baby blue, like a very light blue long sleeve shirt
- 8:24Speaker 2: with like a scoop neck. And it's I just found
- 8:28Speaker 2: it kind of boring. I didn't even write it down.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I'm just remembering it here. It's I don't love it.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I don't like loyalize outfit here. It's just it's not bad,
- 8:35Speaker 2: it's not crazy, it's just blah. It's just boring, you know.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Sorry. I want to be wowed. That's something you should
- 8:41Speaker 1: know about me.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I would like to be wowed when I watch television,
- 8:44Speaker 2: when I go to star as Hollow to talk about
- 8:47Speaker 2: the style Jess, However, he is not free of my wrath.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Let's explore. He shows up.
- 8:53Speaker 2: He's wearing a charcoal zip houp hoodie, and that's fine.
- 8:57Speaker 2: But when he goes up to louralized room and starts
- 9:00Speaker 2: plotting his escape, he turns around and I see on
- 9:03Speaker 2: the back of his hoodie there's like a it's almost
- 9:06Speaker 2: it's screen printed.
- 9:07Speaker 1: It's a design.
- 9:08Speaker 2: It's on his back and it's like a it's like
- 9:09Speaker 2: a rectangle like a just a straight rectangle with a
- 9:12Speaker 2: two on one side of it, just a big block
- 9:14Speaker 2: with a two. And I stared at this a lot
- 9:17Speaker 2: because it made me think of Lorelei in the road
- 9:22Speaker 2: trip to Harvard is wearing about fifty five spray behinded
- 9:27Speaker 2: like Jersey.
- 9:28Speaker 1: It's not it doesn't look the same as this. I
- 9:30Speaker 1: was just I don't know.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I was just thinking that Robin Lewis West is interested
- 9:36Speaker 2: in like these like near Jersey outfits, like like I
- 9:42Speaker 2: don't like Jess's hoodie is meant to be like an
- 9:44Speaker 2: athletic jersey. I don't think that's supposed to be a number.
- 9:46Speaker 2: It looks more like oh. And then on the front,
- 9:48Speaker 2: he's got like a he's got a like.
- 9:50Speaker 1: A some kind of a patch. I don't want to
- 9:53Speaker 1: say it's military.
- 9:54Speaker 2: It's like a chevron patch like it like you would
- 9:56Speaker 2: see on a on like a sheriff's deputy or something.
- 9:59Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a paramilitary, we'll call it. That's
- 10:02Speaker 2: on the front pocket. So I think whatever sweatshirt he's
- 10:04Speaker 2: wearing probably some kind of American Eagle offering from two
- 10:07Speaker 2: thousand and one. I think it's supposed to be like, oh,
- 10:10Speaker 2: this is like a military issue hoodie, so I don't
- 10:13Speaker 2: think it's the same as lorealize, like spray painted jersey thing.
- 10:18Speaker 2: But I did think it was interesting that we have
- 10:20Speaker 2: so close together characters wearing these clothes with numbers, with
- 10:25Speaker 2: like a pattern that kind of spills off of the
- 10:28Speaker 2: number itself. I'm just trying to make sense of this
- 10:31Speaker 2: all you guys, I'm trying. Okay jumped out at me.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I thought about it. I'm sharing it with you. That
- 10:37Speaker 2: is the deal here.
- 10:37Speaker 1: We are friends. That's what friends do, Okay. Rory.
- 10:42Speaker 2: However, in this scene when she's up in her room,
- 10:44Speaker 2: she's typing on her iMac. Her really cool we've talked
- 10:48Speaker 2: about before, her cool laptop with the colors. It's just
- 10:51Speaker 2: such a neat laptop. But she's wearing like an off
- 10:55Speaker 2: white cardigan with a cluster of it looks like embroidered
- 10:59Speaker 2: roses down the middle of the card where it would
- 11:02Speaker 2: button up, and then there's a there's just like a
- 11:05Speaker 2: thick cluster of those roses down the middle, and then
- 11:09Speaker 2: as it goes out from the middle to the sleeves,
- 11:12Speaker 2: there's fewer and fewer roses, so there's just like a
- 11:16Speaker 2: couple pepper throughout the chest and then on the sleeves
- 11:19Speaker 2: almost none, almost like there's a there's a colony of
- 11:24Speaker 2: roses on the where the where the cardigan buttons, and
- 11:27Speaker 2: then they get for as you get further away from
- 11:30Speaker 2: the from the epicenter, they get they get less and less.
- 11:34Speaker 2: I you know, Okay, this episode is very big on
- 11:38Speaker 2: the internet. There if you search this episode, there's a
- 11:41Speaker 2: lot of like blogs about like worst Gilmore girls looks
- 11:45Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and and on those lists, Jess's
- 11:49Speaker 2: outfits show up, and specifically Rory's cardigan.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Here. The Internet hates it. I don't mind it. I
- 11:56Speaker 1: like it.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Actually, I think I like this cardigan. It's it's it's.
- 12:03Speaker 1: This isn't.
- 12:04Speaker 2: The word I'm looking at is kinetic, but it's not.
- 12:06Speaker 2: It's this is The roses don't move, but like it
- 12:10Speaker 2: felt it's giving me texture and depth. I felt something
- 12:13Speaker 2: looking at this card again, I don't dislike it. I
- 12:16Speaker 2: think it's nice. Uh So I don't understand the Internet hate.
- 12:21Speaker 2: But the Internet also not me. The Internet also truly
- 12:25Speaker 2: dislikes Jess's outfit. In this next scene, which we will
- 12:29Speaker 2: talk about after these words.
- 12:32Speaker 1: I promise we're back. We are back.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I know you spent that entire commercial break just pining,
- 12:46Speaker 2: wondering what on arth are we going to talk about afterwards?
- 12:49Speaker 1: This is the answer. I have it for you. The
- 12:51Speaker 1: waight is over.
- 12:52Speaker 2: We promise things and we pay them off. Okay, I
- 12:56Speaker 2: will never break a promise to you, Jess. In this
- 13:00Speaker 2: next scene, he and Luke are fighting. They're they're arguing,
- 13:04Speaker 2: they are not getting along.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Uh. Jess has already been accused of theft.
- 13:09Speaker 2: And a number of other felonies in town.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Uh. They are.
- 13:15Speaker 2: They're walking and arguing with each other, and Jess is
- 13:19Speaker 2: wearing an outfit that the internet hates.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Again.
- 13:22Speaker 2: I I thought it was fine. I didn't love it myself,
- 13:24Speaker 2: but it's a It's just the contrast of the way
- 13:28Speaker 2: this outfit fits is what kind of bumped me. He's
- 13:31Speaker 2: wearing a dark gray uh or like a I said
- 13:37Speaker 2: it was a teal thermal. I don't know if Teal's
- 13:40Speaker 2: right color. It's it's very dark, and it's it's it
- 13:44Speaker 2: fits some tight It's not skin tight, but it fits
- 13:47Speaker 2: some snug. I think he's got these giant baggy pants.
- 13:50Speaker 2: It's such a weird look. It's like really tight top
- 13:54Speaker 2: and then then baggy pants. I just don't like that.
- 13:57Speaker 2: I like there to be consistency with as when you
- 14:00Speaker 2: do that kind of thing. It's just a weird, weird.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Look here, that's what he's wearing when he goes into
- 14:06Speaker 2: the lake.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Uh. Luke pushes him in here.
- 14:09Speaker 2: And as I'm watching this episode, I'm realizing, like, oh, okay,
- 14:14Speaker 2: Luke loves flannels. Luke is cold, I guess, and just
- 14:18Speaker 2: wears flannel shirts.
- 14:19Speaker 1: That's what he likes.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Jess, being genetically related to Luke, he wears thermals. That's
- 14:27Speaker 2: just the thing that these these Danes guys or I guess,
- 14:31Speaker 2: you know. I don't think Jess his last name as
- 14:33Speaker 2: it names. But like the the uh this brood, Uh,
- 14:37Speaker 2: they they pick they pick out or wear and they
- 14:39Speaker 2: stick with it. They stick with that. I would love
- 14:41Speaker 2: to see how Luke's sister dresses is she Uh does
- 14:44Speaker 2: she wear like a I mean she wears raincoats all
- 14:48Speaker 2: the time.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I'm so curious.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Uh but uh, yeah, Jess is a thermal guy that
- 14:52Speaker 2: has been established at this point. He's wearing a very
- 14:55Speaker 2: tight thermal as he goes into the lake.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Uh.
- 14:58Speaker 2: And then we get to we get to do another
- 15:01Speaker 2: stop on the Just Thermal Tour, and this one is
- 15:06Speaker 2: my favorite of all the thermals we see in this episode,
- 15:09Speaker 2: this is my favorite one. He's wearing a this scene,
- 15:13Speaker 2: just so you can get SYNCD up with me. It's
- 15:16Speaker 2: when he's he's at Luke's place and Luke confronts him
- 15:19Speaker 2: about stealing the law gnome and you know, the other
- 15:22Speaker 2: slew of crimes and they get into an argument. But
- 15:25Speaker 2: Jess is wearing a white thermal this time. Scott's cool
- 15:28Speaker 2: like stripe on the left sleeve, like around the bicep,
- 15:32Speaker 2: like it's like a ring. And on the chest there's
- 15:35Speaker 2: a dirt biker image like a little cartoon with the
- 15:38Speaker 2: words Fresno, California. On the chest a really cool vintage font,
- 15:44Speaker 2: kind of comic sansy I, you know, comic sands for
- 15:48Speaker 2: grown ups. So I think is what I wrote down.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I liked the font. I like that font a lot.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I'd like this like kind of seventies dirt bike kind
- 15:57Speaker 2: of merchandise thing. And I also start holl Is in Connecticut.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I love repping California. Baby Prisono is not my favorite
- 16:04Speaker 2: place in the world, but I love everything in California,
- 16:07Speaker 2: So that'll do yeah, out of all the flannels, this
- 16:10Speaker 2: is probably my favorite one. And then you know, at
- 16:13Speaker 2: the end, when he and Rory have that nice little
- 16:16Speaker 2: encounter over Howl, he's wearing his navy vest that we
- 16:19Speaker 2: see him wear when he first arrives. So that's the episode, everybody,
- 16:26Speaker 2: you know, Again, a lot of focus on Jess in
- 16:28Speaker 2: this one and what he's wearing. He is the primary focus,
- 16:33Speaker 2: and they really kind of introduce us to him through
- 16:35Speaker 2: his clothes in a very compelling way.
- 16:37Speaker 1: I think I did.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I think it's funny how my thermals he wears in
- 16:42Speaker 2: this episode, but I do enjoy that narrative tool of
- 16:46Speaker 2: being like, this is this is what he wears.
- 16:48Speaker 1: This is how this guy dresses.
- 16:50Speaker 2: He's layered, he's ready, he's ready to go out there,
- 16:53Speaker 2: and he's ready to be warm. Okay, let's do my
- 16:55Speaker 2: least favorite outfit first. My least favorite outfit of this
- 16:58Speaker 2: episode was probably you know, I gotta go with Jess's
- 17:03Speaker 2: Jess's Teal two tight thermal when he goes into the
- 17:09Speaker 2: when he goes in the drink there when he gets
- 17:11Speaker 2: pushed into the lake. I don't like that outfit. The
- 17:14Speaker 2: really tight thermal, the big baggy pants. M I don't
- 17:17Speaker 2: like it, gives me the willies. My favorite outfit of
- 17:20Speaker 2: this episode, you know, I think it's I think it's
- 17:24Speaker 2: Rory's cardigan that the internet dislikes, the Internet at large.
- 17:29Speaker 2: There's people with pitchforks outside saying we hate that card again,
- 17:32Speaker 2: but not me.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I like it.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I thought it was cool. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed
- 17:35Speaker 2: it on Rory. I think it looked nice. That's my
- 17:37Speaker 2: favorite outfit of the episode. Thanks for hanging out with me, guys.
