- 0:00Speaker 1: I am all in again.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Oh, I guess you Gilmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman
- 0:20Speaker 2: and Danielle Romo, then iHeartRadio podcast.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Today is a very very very very special day. It
- 0:31Speaker 1: is one of my favorite days of the year. And
- 0:34Speaker 1: for the other one not their favorite days of the year.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Oh, Danielle. I literally was like for a second, I
- 0:40Speaker 3: was like, I like this episode a lot, right, I
- 0:43Speaker 3: think it's I think it's the best or equal to
- 0:46Speaker 3: the best, and so but I was like, WHOA, she's
- 0:48Speaker 3: really overstating this.
- 0:50Speaker 1: No, for those who are not reading between the lines,
- 0:55Speaker 1: it is our dear Amy Sugarman's very very own first.
- 1:01Speaker 4: Day.
- 1:03Speaker 1: It is a national holiday. This is the best day
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the year, a day for all to celebrate.
- 1:10Speaker 3: First of all, you are so nice. You are so nice,
- 1:12Speaker 3: You are so nice. But second, I don't love my birthday.
- 1:18Speaker 3: And what I think is interesting is that people don't
- 1:22Speaker 3: care if you don't love your birthday, right, and like
- 1:25Speaker 3: you tell them like, hey, I'm not crazy about my birthday,
- 1:28Speaker 3: Like I don't like a lot of hype, and either
- 1:30Speaker 3: one of two things exists. They don't care or they
- 1:35Speaker 3: don't believe you. Like I'm not saying it like, oh,
- 1:42Speaker 3: I don't like my birthday, like but then I want
- 1:44Speaker 3: people to make a fuss like I mean it from
- 1:46Speaker 3: my core goal.
- 1:49Speaker 1: You and I are the same person because I do
- 1:51Speaker 1: not like my birthday either.
- 1:52Speaker 3: The singing part is possibly the worst part for me,
- 1:57Speaker 3: Like I don't it's not like it. Look, I don't
- 2:00Speaker 3: need a gift. But if you want to send me
- 2:01Speaker 3: a gift, mail me a gift, drop a gift at
- 2:04Speaker 3: my door. It's the awkward, oh.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Thank you, happy birthday. And I can't go on further
- 2:13Speaker 1: than that because we'll get sued.
- 2:15Speaker 3: But no, actually, happy birthday. You can sing the whole thing.
- 2:17Speaker 1: It's oh you should have said that, Happy birth Oh
- 2:21Speaker 1: go to you, don't make you. I'll start there because
- 2:25Speaker 1: I truly, I truly sympathize because I am just like you.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I do not like my birthday.
- 2:30Speaker 3: This time I'm a fifty one.
- 2:33Speaker 1: It's not even a cool birthday.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Ones work better for me, though, the zeros really they
- 2:38Speaker 3: I don't like emotionally and like the zeros mess me up.
- 2:43Speaker 3: But anyway, for those of you that love your birthday,
- 2:45Speaker 3: we celebrate you today. We celebrate you, will sing to you,
- 2:49Speaker 3: we will shower you with gifts. We will have cakes
- 2:52Speaker 3: and multiple days of singing for those of you like
- 2:55Speaker 3: Danielle and me. We feel you, we feel.
- 2:59Speaker 1: You, yeah, and we see you. We see you, We
- 3:01Speaker 1: see you over there. Although I all say I did.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Last year, Amy had a very awesome night. She wouldn't
- 3:08Speaker 1: say it was her birthday party.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Because I had it six months after my birthday.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I know, I know she had. She had like a
- 3:14Speaker 1: big gathering in Lake Oho that was more and she
- 3:18Speaker 1: purposely did it six months after her birthday so it
- 3:20Speaker 1: wouldn't be for her birthday, but it was definitely. Everyone
- 3:24Speaker 1: that went there was to celebrate.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Her and terrible. It was actually terrible and I.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Had to I literally had to pin her down to
- 3:31Speaker 1: stay in the room for people to sing.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Happy. It was so and people will send me mean
- 3:37Speaker 3: Instagram messages because they'll be like, you're so selfish, like
- 3:39Speaker 3: let people celebrate you. It is so uncomfortable. I had
- 3:43Speaker 3: a full, full anxiety attack, but you're so loved, You're
- 3:48Speaker 3: so like anxiety was so much that like I was
- 3:52Speaker 3: out of body and like I will never do it again,
- 3:55Speaker 3: like I did it because everyone's like, let's do a
- 3:57Speaker 3: party for your fiftieth, so I'm like, fine, fine, fine,
- 4:00Speaker 3: huge mistake. Those of you listening that it makes you uncomfortable.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Don't do it. Don't do it. Yeah, I'll throw parties
- 4:09Speaker 3: for others. I will know you a party, Danielle every year.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Please, don't.
- 4:15Speaker 3: You know what I decided though I would do. This
- 4:18Speaker 3: is the only party that I would do. One is
- 4:21Speaker 3: if I had enough money, I would do a suite
- 4:23Speaker 3: at a concert. But number two the one other party
- 4:27Speaker 3: that I would like that like, I could actually do
- 4:31Speaker 3: run out of movie theater.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Oh, that's not expensive. No one has to look at you.
- 4:35Speaker 1: You don't have to talk to anybody.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not super expensive. You can get popcorn if
- 4:41Speaker 3: you can add the popcorn. My nieces did it for
- 4:44Speaker 3: their birthday. They were seven and nine. But yet I
- 4:47Speaker 3: was like, this is my kind of birthday. There was
- 4:50Speaker 3: pizza in the lobby, everybody got to see the movie.
- 4:53Speaker 3: And my niece goes, Auntie, the popcorn and the candy
- 4:57Speaker 3: are free, and then she goes, actually, I think mom
- 5:00Speaker 3: has to pay for it. Like same thing.
- 5:03Speaker 1: You know what I like about a movie birthday party.
- 5:06Speaker 1: There's a start and there's an end. You show up
- 5:10Speaker 1: twenty minutes before the movie you. You leave when the movie
- 5:13Speaker 1: is over. There's no there's no time for for small
- 5:16Speaker 1: talk or for a happy birthday. Oh my god, what
- 5:18Speaker 1: do you want to what's your wish for this year?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Like it's just watch the movie, move on totally.
- 5:25Speaker 3: And like there's no attention on you. I mean, what
- 5:28Speaker 3: if we did a Gilmore Girls screening.
- 5:31Speaker 4: That'd be amazing, that'd be so fun.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Well for your birthday this year, we decided to uh
- 5:41Speaker 1: to give you an actual, really really good butneads up.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Bye. So this is the Nutcracker episode. Guys, this is
- 5:51Speaker 3: called a Nutcracker in Paradise, and I would argue it's
- 5:55Speaker 3: the best one yet or number one and two, Like
- 5:59Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? Like it is it
- 6:01Speaker 3: is a really good episode.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Do you want to know my theory as to why. Yep,
- 6:08Speaker 1: it's bun heads. It is Emily is not Fanny, Michelle
- 6:15Speaker 1: is not trying to be Lourlai. It is these people
- 6:18Speaker 1: in their lanes, yes, trying to pretend to be Gilmar Girls.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And that's what makes it good because I'm not destructed
- 6:26Speaker 1: by all the Gilmore is and wanting it to be
- 6:29Speaker 1: that so badly when it's not. It is actually just
- 6:33Speaker 1: bun heads, and for that reason I liked it. I
- 6:37Speaker 1: liked it.
- 6:38Speaker 3: I think you make a great point. It's and it's
- 6:42Speaker 3: very in the bun heads like it's there's a lot
- 6:45Speaker 3: of performance, there's a lot of dance. I think what
- 6:48Speaker 3: helps also is it's Nutcracker, which we most of us
- 6:52Speaker 3: have some familiarity with. So it's like, you know, we
- 6:56Speaker 3: we know it, we know the story. We got Alan
- 7:01Speaker 3: rock back is hubble.
- 7:03Speaker 1: And kind of you know again, he did come back.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Interesting sort of way. Look, we're gonna say it's Sutton
- 7:09Speaker 3: Foster's not super annoying in it, like and.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You have to give it to her. She had her
- 7:15Speaker 1: Broadway moment in this episode and she nailed it. Yeah, No,
- 7:18Speaker 1: they had her Broadway moment and that girl can.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Sing, girl can sing? Is this the one that where
- 7:23Speaker 3: she's doing like a table dance. Let's let's go through
- 7:25Speaker 3: the scene. Yeah, because this is the one where I
- 7:27Speaker 3: accidentally watched it two weeks ago because I thought I
- 7:30Speaker 3: messed up right, So I need to just remind myself.
- 7:35Speaker 1: But one thing, one thing to know before we dig
- 7:37Speaker 1: into this. Our producer Emma just dropped us a little
- 7:39Speaker 1: note that this was the summer finale before the show
- 7:42Speaker 1: went on break and so and it returned, you know after.
- 7:46Speaker 3: So this was sort of you know, they put a
- 7:48Speaker 3: big heer offfort into it. Yeah, okay, so I know.
- 7:51Speaker 3: So this is where it starts, where Sutton brings sorry,
- 7:55Speaker 3: Michelle brings Fanny in to see her sort of modern
- 7:57Speaker 3: Nutcracker dance, which I thought was pretty dang awesome. Yeah,
- 8:04Speaker 3: what were they It was like they were taking Nutcracker
- 8:07Speaker 3: into like corporate America and greed. Right, But I'm having
- 8:11Speaker 3: a mental brain fade that I can't remember which dance
- 8:16Speaker 3: it is. But oh no, it's the dance of the
- 8:18Speaker 3: mice the rats.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Right, yes, yes, say rats.
- 8:22Speaker 3: It's corporate rats, right, So that's why they have their
- 8:25Speaker 3: like suits on and there. I thought it was such
- 8:28Speaker 3: a choreographed, amazing dance that I didn't mind watching such
- 8:33Speaker 3: a long dance sequence.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked the dancing in this episode, which you know,
- 8:39Speaker 1: I love me a musical. I think when it was
- 8:42Speaker 1: intertwined to Gilmore Girls in the movies, I strongly rejected it.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I feel like I have rejected it a little bit
- 8:50Speaker 1: in this series so far, but in this episode, I
- 8:53Speaker 1: wasn't mad about it. Again, it's the Nutcracker. It's bunheads
- 8:56Speaker 1: like this just finally felt like it was its own
- 8:59Speaker 1: thing and it was just refreshing.
- 9:01Speaker 3: It's very bumheadsyat and again I've said it a million times.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I'm sorry to keep saying it. The girls are great,
- 9:09Speaker 3: right they are. Yeah. I actually thought it was funny
- 9:12Speaker 3: the fake, not the fake, but the girl from San
- 9:15Speaker 3: Francisco or whatever that the ringer. I thought she was entertaining.
- 9:21Speaker 3: I thought it was over the top but entertaining, and
- 9:25Speaker 3: Sasha kind of, you know, like going at.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Her and all that, putting her in her place. No,
- 9:31Speaker 1: there's a lot, so okay, So after we get The
- 9:34Speaker 1: Modern Nutcracker, we go to lunch at the studio with
- 9:38Speaker 1: Michelle and Fanny, and Fanny asked her if she would
- 9:42Speaker 1: be comfortable running the studio alone for a few months
- 9:44Speaker 1: because she wants to go to Montana.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Oh god, I don't want to jump around. But I
- 9:49Speaker 3: knew it was bad when Michelle got herself involved in this.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I was like, oh.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Gosh, yeah, you know, it's one of those things that
- 9:57Speaker 1: I got her intent. She was trying to like, I
- 10:01Speaker 1: don't help it just didn't. I mean, you never insert
- 10:06Speaker 1: yourself into other people's relationships exactly.
- 10:08Speaker 3: That's never, never, never, never. I mean it was so
- 10:15Speaker 3: it made me so stressed. Even though the conversation went fine, internally,
- 10:21Speaker 3: I was so stressed. I was like, this is not good,
- 10:23Speaker 3: This is not good. This is so not good. Oh, like,
- 10:29Speaker 3: did she ruin Fanny's relationship with that guy forever?
- 10:32Speaker 1: I don't know. It sure seems like that, which I
- 10:34Speaker 1: hope not, because I do like Fanny with this guy,
- 10:37Speaker 1: Like I think there's something fun there. But then I'm
- 10:40Speaker 1: also like, is this guy kind of a tool? If
- 10:42Speaker 1: he is gonna be so grossed out that Fanny wants
- 10:47Speaker 1: to like actually spend time.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Well, you make such a good point with that that
- 10:51Speaker 3: it's like if what Michelle did causes him to leave
- 10:54Speaker 3: and like never come back, he's not a great dude.
- 10:58Speaker 3: But I think that I would have preferred Fanny to
- 11:00Speaker 3: figure that out for herself rather than Michelle fast forward
- 11:04Speaker 3: the process. I don't know, And it seems that Fanny
- 11:07Speaker 3: has a real understanding with this guy, And I don't know.
- 11:11Speaker 3: It's just it was just so uncomfortable, but not cringy
- 11:15Speaker 3: in like a way I sometimes cringe at this show.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Cringy and like, I'm invested kind of the same.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I like me to know what happens, but it's it's drama,
- 11:24Speaker 1: you know, and we needed that, which is great.
- 11:35Speaker 3: So we talked about the ringer, which I thought that
- 11:37Speaker 3: was funny. And then this scene I actually really liked
- 11:40Speaker 3: with the girls. Okay, so all the girls are fighting,
- 11:42Speaker 3: right like, because you know, we likes Charlie and Charlie
- 11:46Speaker 3: likes Ginny, and Jenny likes Charlie and the whole thing, right,
- 11:49Speaker 3: and Sasha's kind of snarky about it, and Michelle comes
- 11:52Speaker 3: in and sort of does her magic, which that I
- 11:55Speaker 3: actually I liked that right too, right, and that's what
- 11:59Speaker 3: Michelle should. She should be sort of that wise one
- 12:02Speaker 3: mentor big sister to these girls the whole thing. And
- 12:08Speaker 3: she wasn't over the top, and she was funny about it,
- 12:10Speaker 3: and the whole thing was good. I was like, okay, I'm.
- 12:12Speaker 1: In Yeah, no, I agree. I liked it a lot.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And and again I every this entire episode. I don't
- 12:18Speaker 1: really have many bones to pick with this episode. I
- 12:21Speaker 1: do genuinely like it.
- 12:22Speaker 3: To go or did she kiss him in the last one?
- 12:25Speaker 1: She didn't know in the in the end, so so
- 12:29Speaker 1: she you're talking about when Michelle makes out with it
- 12:31Speaker 1: the guy, Yeah, yeah, I no, that's later, Okay, I
- 12:34Speaker 1: got it. So after this scene, they go to the
- 12:37Speaker 1: Oyster Bar and Michelle's throwing the fundraiser, and this was
- 12:42Speaker 1: so great.
- 12:43Speaker 3: When Boo goes on state.
- 12:45Speaker 1: And again Michelle, Michelle she did it. She like totally helped.
- 12:51Speaker 1: She helped the situation.
- 12:53Speaker 3: And even though it was like kind of cringey secondhand embarrassment,
- 12:58Speaker 3: it was also really cute and it wasn't cringing at it.
- 13:02Speaker 3: I was cringing with it, which is like what you're
- 13:04Speaker 3: supposed to be doing.
- 13:05Speaker 1: That's so so well said. And I also loved Emily
- 13:09Speaker 1: Oh my god, not Emily. Sorry guys. Fanny and Michelle like,
- 13:14Speaker 1: oh go up there, Nope, since sit down, sit down,
- 13:17Speaker 1: let her, you know, like they like they were just
- 13:19Speaker 1: it was so good. Valuating this situation together is like.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Now ten episodes in or whatever, everyone's chemistry is kind
- 13:26Speaker 3: of like they've got it going on. Yeah, and they're
- 13:30Speaker 3: more settled into their characters. I think what it is
- 13:34Speaker 3: is we're seeing in episode ten what we completely saw
- 13:38Speaker 3: in the pilot of Gilmore Girls. Do you know what
- 13:40Speaker 3: I mean, the thing about Gilmore Girls is it never
- 13:43Speaker 3: had to work out any kinks, and this show has
- 13:45Speaker 3: been kind of working out kinks the whole way through.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Yes, I agree. Well, then we find out a little
- 13:52Speaker 1: bit more about Michael.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about Michelle just oh boy, screwing it
- 13:57Speaker 3: over and Sasha.
- 13:59Speaker 1: You know, Sasha's oh my god, that's the oyster bar.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Sasha hiding from the ringer behind the like the buzz
- 14:09Speaker 1: boys stuff. That's hilarious, hilarious.
- 14:12Speaker 3: She starts flirting with the basketball player, which we get
- 14:16Speaker 3: the call sort of call back to at the end
- 14:19Speaker 3: with Sasha really settling into who she is and Tyler
- 14:25Speaker 3: settling into who he actually is, which I thought was Okay,
- 14:28Speaker 3: I'm sort of liking this deeper sort of thing here, right,
- 14:33Speaker 3: there's more to this.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And then this is your favorite moment, abe.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Yeah, because I like the dough. I like a dough
- 14:41Speaker 3: for Michelle. I like them together. I feel the chemistry
- 14:44Speaker 3: the whole thing.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Their kiss was kind of hot. I was like, that
- 14:47Speaker 1: must a good kill. Good job, guys. There there's a
- 14:50Speaker 1: lot of chem there.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Total Lee like he's cute, and it's like, look, I
- 14:56Speaker 3: get why the girls liked him the young girls, but
- 15:00Speaker 3: he's much more age appropriate for you know, like because
- 15:03Speaker 3: there was a moment where I was like, should Boo
- 15:04Speaker 3: date him? But now I'm like, now this is the
- 15:06Speaker 3: way we the way we need to go.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, that would be so weird
- 15:12Speaker 1: if he was dating Boo.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Well yeah, although I did, like I did, there was
- 15:16Speaker 3: something about their relationship that I liked.
- 15:20Speaker 1: And then we uh oh god, Ginny and Charlie. They
- 15:25Speaker 1: finally Genny finally has the green light to like doing
- 15:29Speaker 1: her a thing with Charlie to date him, and they
- 15:35Speaker 1: lean in for a kiss and he just gets headbutted
- 15:38Speaker 1: by her in the lip and just like bust his
- 15:41Speaker 1: lip because.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Again it's so it's funny, Like again, all of it.
- 15:45Speaker 3: I'm liking, right, it's yeah, Anny, it's good, the whole thing,
- 15:51Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So I like it all.
- 15:55Speaker 3: And then in the Nutcracker.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Performance, Okay, this was funny.
- 16:00Speaker 3: This was so funny, and okay, look I get you know,
- 16:03Speaker 3: I like it was still a little on the nose
- 16:07Speaker 3: where Michelle tells what's in her bag and I get
- 16:10Speaker 3: that she had to do it so that later it.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Was a good callback.
- 16:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so I get that they had to do it.
- 16:17Speaker 3: I always think it's it was a little too like
- 16:20Speaker 3: up in my face and this mace, you know, and
- 16:23Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, hairspray and it's the mace.
- 16:26Speaker 3: But then running around like chaos backstage. I was laughing
- 16:32Speaker 3: so hard.
- 16:33Speaker 1: All the girls were so good, they were so good.
- 16:37Speaker 3: And then the ringer goes out and kind of nails it.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Everyone's at the er. I'm like, so hilarious.
- 16:44Speaker 1: My favorite at the ear Michelle is just in the lot.
- 16:47Speaker 1: We're trying to like find all the girls and she
- 16:49Speaker 1: just can't see.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Oh well. The one thing that I will say that
- 16:54Speaker 3: I'm not the one part and I understand we need
- 16:56Speaker 3: a drama, we need this cliffhanger. I'm not sure that
- 17:00Speaker 3: the parents, I'm not sure that Fanny number one would
- 17:03Speaker 3: have been so furious because it honestly was an accident.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Okay, No, I'm in a side with Fanny. This is
- 17:12Speaker 1: what her livelihood is about. This performance like this right
- 17:17Speaker 1: year is the showcase of all her work. Right this
- 17:21Speaker 1: is the creme de la creme, the the what's that
- 17:25Speaker 1: peace of the resistance? Like this is this is her
- 17:28Speaker 1: moment for her studio yes, yes, and it just m
- 17:34Speaker 1: ooped on like literally, like I would have been pissed
- 17:40Speaker 1: that she was so careless to grab the mace that
- 17:46Speaker 1: she knows is the mace, because she just showed me
- 17:48Speaker 1: it was mace right before, and just mace the entire production.
- 17:55Speaker 3: I know, I know. It was a lot, like you'd
- 17:57Speaker 3: think that after a couple she could.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Have figured about and if I was a parent, the
- 18:02Speaker 1: optics of Michelle with having sex at the party, then.
- 18:09Speaker 3: The we didn't have sex at the party, Yeah.
- 18:11Speaker 1: She didn't her at her engagement party.
- 18:13Speaker 4: They had so I thought you met at and everyone
- 18:16Speaker 4: knew about it.
- 18:16Speaker 3: I thought you met with good dough. I thought no, no,
- 18:18Speaker 3: no, no no.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I was like, but she had that right like she
- 18:21Speaker 1: had that she had this lady, she's a mess and
- 18:25Speaker 1: then she's just amazing my kid. Oh I've been like,
- 18:29Speaker 1: she's got to go get her out. No, I think
- 18:34Speaker 1: the I think the I.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Mean Fanny really they're all into her.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have too. These are little kids, these
- 18:44Speaker 1: are minors, you're not, these are not adults.
- 18:46Speaker 3: I get it, But I also feel like there was
- 18:48Speaker 3: a shouper strong reaction to an accident that being said,
- 18:52Speaker 3: like you'd think that after one girl like I undertood,
- 18:54Speaker 3: like it was just so intense, oh the whole thing,
- 18:59Speaker 3: and it was. It's a very good performance of the Nutcracker,
- 19:03Speaker 3: like not when it got chaotic, but like that they
- 19:06Speaker 3: were actually doing the Nutcracker. Yeah in this show, Like
- 19:11Speaker 3: these dancers knew the Nutcracker.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Oh they were so good.
- 19:15Speaker 3: You were doing all the performances and the rehearsals and
- 19:17Speaker 3: the auditions, and that one couple doing all the different
- 19:20Speaker 3: I mean that was the ballet in.
- 19:21Speaker 1: This is like amazing, And yeah, I had to give
- 19:24Speaker 1: some snaps to the ring or whatever your real name is, like, wow,
- 19:28Speaker 1: you you were unbelievable to do all those dance moves
- 19:33Speaker 1: and deliver your lines.
- 19:35Speaker 3: What yeah are you? So?
- 19:39Speaker 2: You know?
- 19:39Speaker 3: What's interesting is like this is the finale, right, you
- 19:43Speaker 3: can definitely feel it. It's a huge episode. I'm surprised
- 19:47Speaker 3: it's not two seasons of fun heead. It's almost like
- 19:50Speaker 3: it's a one A and a one B, right, Like
- 19:52Speaker 3: I think the season one is eighteen episodes. What's crazy
- 19:56Speaker 3: is it's August right now and the show's not coming
- 19:59Speaker 3: back again until January.
- 20:01Speaker 1: I feel like that. I feel like that season one
- 20:04Speaker 1: A and one B, like for example, Emily in Paris,
- 20:08Speaker 1: the season in where right Now is split into two right, yeah,
- 20:12Speaker 1: that wasn't a thing until.
- 20:15Speaker 3: I didn't think it was a day that's then. But
- 20:17Speaker 3: I think they maybe were like ABC Family might have
- 20:21Speaker 3: like started this trend, like look, I'm making this up,
- 20:25Speaker 3: but with some facts, right that they probably shot eighteen episodes,
- 20:29Speaker 3: and this is what I kind of remember when I
- 20:31Speaker 3: was watching it, because it seemed like it finally got good,
- 20:35Speaker 3: and I think the back eight or whatever are really
- 20:38Speaker 3: really good episodes. And that's why everyone was like shocked
- 20:41Speaker 3: when the show got canceled, because I think it continues
- 20:43Speaker 3: to like get better and better. But like imagine, like
- 20:46Speaker 3: it's August and this cliffhanger happens and it doesn't come
- 20:50Speaker 3: back till January, but it's still the same season. It's
- 20:52Speaker 3: almost like ending in May but and then coming back
- 20:55Speaker 3: in September. It's kind of the same sort of git yeah.
- 20:59Speaker 1: And I wonder if the reasoning for that is, you know,
- 21:02Speaker 1: usually Fall is a heavy slate of shows, right, Like
- 21:06Speaker 1: usually that's like Fall a sweeps, you know, so maybe
- 21:09Speaker 1: they had to make it way and room.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Yeah, because like ABC Family probably brought back, you know whatever.
- 21:15Speaker 3: All their other shows were at the time. I remember
- 21:18Speaker 3: the one with Vanessa Laura Morano, like the one separated
- 21:23Speaker 3: at Bird. Yes, they had like teenage or pregnant show
- 21:27Speaker 3: whatever that was, you know that starred Shalane Woodley. Oh. Yes,
- 21:33Speaker 3: they had all those like big shows. I think they
- 21:35Speaker 3: had a Greek show called Greek all kind of around
- 21:38Speaker 3: this time. They had a lot of shows.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Yeah, then we get sort of that.
- 21:52Speaker 3: This was a little weird for me.
- 21:53Speaker 1: The dream was a little weird, but I'm happy we
- 21:55Speaker 1: got Hubble back because yes, and since the first episode,
- 21:58Speaker 1: I'm like, are we just all gonna get about Hubble?
- 22:01Speaker 1: Like that just didn't happen.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Right, the one thing with Digger when she sort of
- 22:06Speaker 3: broke down, but otherwise they kind of forget about him. Yeah,
- 22:10Speaker 3: maybe Fannies had a few mentions, but it's like, really weird.
- 22:14Speaker 3: So the dream sequence wasn't my favorite, but I also
- 22:18Speaker 3: thought it was interesting, right.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I agree. And this was her Broadway moment. This is
- 22:22Speaker 1: where she had.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Her full This is where she's dancing on the table
- 22:25Speaker 3: and it's like a full dance and song.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Yeah, she just she crushed it. You know, that's where
- 22:31Speaker 1: you really see where Suttin shines, and it's in that
- 22:34Speaker 1: Broadway theater setting, and she she crushed it, you know,
- 22:39Speaker 1: like we can't take that away from her. But I
- 22:41Speaker 1: did think it was interesting that we saw Hubble and
- 22:43Speaker 1: this as well. I wasn't expecting that, but seeing him again,
- 22:48Speaker 1: I was. I was happy. I was happy. Yeah.
- 22:51Speaker 3: I think my problem is I didn't love the song
- 22:55Speaker 3: yeah that she was singing, so I was like, h like,
- 22:58Speaker 3: I know that song from the Newutcracker, and I know
- 23:00Speaker 3: the dance from The Nutcracker, So to see that take
- 23:03Speaker 3: on it, I was much more into it. And then
- 23:05Speaker 3: to see those that cup that young, those young kids
- 23:08Speaker 3: that kept doing the different dances from so for me,
- 23:11Speaker 3: I was just like, I'm not into this, but I
- 23:14Speaker 3: sort of like it anyway. Then we go back to
- 23:17Speaker 3: the er and the parents are so mad, and then
- 23:21Speaker 3: we get from Dead Poets Society, Oh Captain my cap right,
- 23:26Speaker 3: which was again awkward awkward. It was. It was awkward, right,
- 23:31Speaker 3: but it was also really really cool.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Yeah, And there was a moment, you know, I was
- 23:36Speaker 1: expecting the parents to see that though, and be like, oh,
- 23:40Speaker 1: maybe she's not as bad as we thought she was.
- 23:42Speaker 4: Like, I don't know love her, right, they know they love.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Her, they need her, they're learning from her about ballet
- 23:50Speaker 3: but also like life.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also understand.
- 23:53Speaker 3: That the parents are like she cray right, like, let's get.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Get her out of here, right.
- 24:02Speaker 3: So you know, and then it's kind of like she
- 24:05Speaker 3: walks out right and then kind of like we fade
- 24:06Speaker 3: the black right. It's like it's very dramatic sort of you're.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Like, what, yeah, I'm here for it though, this this,
- 24:14Speaker 1: this this got me. You know, like I said in
- 24:17Speaker 1: the last episode that if I was a normal watcher,
- 24:20Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gotten to this episode.
- 24:23Speaker 3: I know. And what's interesting is because if I remember
- 24:25Speaker 3: correctly the back eight, so that we've had ten episodes, right,
- 24:30Speaker 3: there's back eight that come in January, and they were really.
- 24:35Speaker 1: And maybe it was a little too late. Maybe everyone
- 24:37Speaker 1: was basing it off of episodes one through ten, which
- 24:40Speaker 1: you can't. That would be like basing Gilmore Girls off
- 24:43Speaker 1: season seven, right.
- 24:45Speaker 3: No, you right, then maybe they based the like pick
- 24:48Speaker 3: up for season two. I mean, I think it was
- 24:50Speaker 3: probably on the fence. I remember being super bummed that
- 24:55Speaker 3: there was no season two because I wasn't gonna know
- 24:56Speaker 3: what happens to these people. So I and if I I,
- 25:00Speaker 3: I think we're going to be pretty impressed by the
- 25:02Speaker 3: next set of episodes if I remember correctly. But I mean,
- 25:06Speaker 3: I thought this was an amazing episode. Here's what I'll say.
- 25:10Speaker 3: I thought this was an amazing episode of Bunheads and
- 25:12Speaker 3: a pretty dang good episode of Gilmore Girls, do you
- 25:14Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, like if this was compared
- 25:18Speaker 3: to Gilmore Girls, like if it was all in the
- 25:21Speaker 3: same universe and this was an episode of Gilmore Girls,
- 25:25Speaker 3: it was pretty good. Like it's not as good as
- 25:28Speaker 3: you know, the top top episodes of Gilmore Girls.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It would have fit in in season four or five,
- 25:32Speaker 1: like it would have fit in there to like.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Some good, good episodes of Gilmer Girls. It's that good
- 25:38Speaker 3: in my.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Mid Yeah, I agree with you.
- 25:40Speaker 3: And I actually think in the movies, like I know
- 25:42Speaker 3: what they were doing with Sutton Foster in the movies,
- 25:46Speaker 3: right and doing that musical, had it been a little
- 25:50Speaker 3: bit more like this, I think I would have liked it.
- 25:54Speaker 3: I think that that weird musical was just too far
- 25:57Speaker 3: out there for me. Yeah, if they were like in
- 26:01Speaker 3: the town we're doing it, like say it was in
- 26:02Speaker 3: winter and it was a performance of Nutcracker, right, and
- 26:05Speaker 3: then you got some of these quirky characters. I think
- 26:08Speaker 3: I would have liked it. It was just that that musical
- 26:10Speaker 3: was over my head.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't the History of Stars Hollow or something.
- 26:14Speaker 3: I mean, I should have tried to enjoy it, but
- 26:17Speaker 3: it was so weird.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not. I was right there with you.
- 26:20Speaker 3: The movies throw me with the musical part and the
- 26:24Speaker 3: walk about or whatever when she's doing wild both those
- 26:28Speaker 3: I'm like, I like that. Oh oh those were those
- 26:32Speaker 3: were my two sort of No, keep stay in Stars Hollow.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Be Gilmore Girls, Let's not be going so far off anyway.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Do we rate these? I don't remember. Do we rate
- 26:43Speaker 3: these or No?
- 26:45Speaker 1: I think we do, but I'm trying to figure out
- 26:47Speaker 1: what I would read it.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Well, if I'm on a scale of bun heads, it's
- 26:52Speaker 3: a nine.
- 26:53Speaker 1: But and what's your what's your measuring stick?
- 26:56Speaker 3: Do we even do that? I don't remember.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I feel like we have.
- 27:03Speaker 3: So if I'm on a scale of bunheads, it's a nine, right,
- 27:06Speaker 3: you know, like as bunheads. Yeah, But if I'm comparing
- 27:09Speaker 3: it to Gilmour Girls, it's like.
- 27:10Speaker 1: A six, right, Oh yeah, I was gonna say seven
- 27:12Speaker 1: point five.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Yeah. That being said, I really really like it.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited for the next episode and that we
- 27:18Speaker 1: don't have to wait months to see it. We'll come
- 27:21Speaker 1: at you next Friday.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Here's what I'm wondering, Danielle. I have an idea, Okay,
- 27:27Speaker 3: I think that we should take a week off of
- 27:31Speaker 3: Bunheads and watch Lauren's new show on TB. Okay, so
- 27:38Speaker 3: I think because this is the finale, we take a
- 27:40Speaker 3: minute and we will be watching so her show premiere.
- 27:47Speaker 3: So if you're listening to this on Saturday Live, her
- 27:49Speaker 3: show premiere is on the six on two B, So
- 27:52Speaker 3: next Saturday you'll hear us talk about that and then
- 27:55Speaker 3: we'll get back into Bunheads. But I think that we
- 27:57Speaker 3: should like also take a break and watch an episode
- 27:59Speaker 3: of her new show, The Z Suite.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Let's do it. I'm always game for anything, learned Graham,
- 28:04Speaker 1: So Simon, let's try it.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Then we'll come back to Bunheads. We still got Mazel,
- 28:07Speaker 3: We've got a lot and by the time we finish,
- 28:09Speaker 3: masil Amy Sherman Palladino's new show will be on. So like,
- 28:13Speaker 3: unless we get canceled, ourselves here for a.
- 28:15Speaker 1: While, all right. Everybody will take us a long time.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Mazel has a lot of episodes. Canna take us a
- 28:21Speaker 3: long time to get through. Masiel too.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch that. I've heard great things.
- 28:26Speaker 3: All right, guys, talk to you all later.
