- 0:17Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo, an
- 0:21Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast. I missed doing Bundheads last week? Did you?
- 0:27Speaker 1: I did? Actually, I actually did, because I missed it
- 0:31Speaker 1: so much that I forgot to watch the episode until
- 0:33Speaker 1: this morning and normal days an advance.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I had to skip a call with Amy this morning,
- 0:40Speaker 2: and she had to do it by herself because at
- 0:42Speaker 2: eight thirty, as I was waltzing into the bathroom, I said, shoot,
- 0:48Speaker 2: she watched the episode.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So funny because I woke up at six thirty and
- 0:54Speaker 1: was so tired and was like, I forgot to watch Bunheads.
- 0:57Speaker 1: So I set my alarm for eight so that I
- 1:00Speaker 1: could finish the episode before the call.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I we both watched it this morning, which
- 1:06Speaker 2: means it's very fresh in our brain, very fresh, very fresh.
- 1:09Speaker 1: It's a great episode.
- 1:10Speaker 2: So it's the winter premiere. So January seven, twenty thirteen,
- 1:15Speaker 2: Season one, episode eleven. You want to see something, you want.
- 1:18Speaker 1: To see something. By the way, that was amazing that
- 1:22Speaker 1: Michael Delowi's was in it.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I know TJ so good.
- 1:25Speaker 1: T He was great and it is great in it
- 1:28Speaker 1: I think this episode's great. I think this show has
- 1:31Speaker 1: finally found its found its way.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. So, just to get everyone up to speed,
- 1:38Speaker 2: so Michelle goes back to not Vegas but Henderson.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Which Henderson is actually nice. They make Henderson look not
- 1:46Speaker 1: nice in this and like, Henderson's a very fancy town.
- 1:48Speaker 2: So it is a very very fancy and rich town. However,
- 1:52Speaker 2: I get it because it's not Vegas, right.
- 1:54Speaker 1: You're definitely like off Broadway.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So she's Michelle's working as a magician's assistant
- 2:02Speaker 2: aka TJ's assistant. The Dan studio closed down, Ginny takes
- 2:06Speaker 2: over her mother's business, Melanie cares for her grandfather, Boo
- 2:10Speaker 2: helps take care of her little brother, and Sasha returns.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So now I did not know bo Boo had siblings
- 2:15Speaker 1: for some reason, I missed it. And I didn't know
- 2:17Speaker 1: that Boo's mom was still married to Boo's dad, like
- 2:19Speaker 1: I was like.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Oh, I thought Boo's mom was a single mom. Like
- 2:22Speaker 2: I didn't realize you.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I did too. I don't know why. I guess that
- 2:26Speaker 1: was just because they that's all we've seen.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for sure, I related a lot to Boo
- 2:31Speaker 2: in this episode, though, because she had to take care
- 2:33Speaker 2: of her her younger siblings, and my sister's ten years
- 2:36Speaker 2: younger than me, so I had to do that a
- 2:38Speaker 2: lot with my sister. So I was like, oh, I
- 2:42Speaker 2: kind of related to her a little bit.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I found the whole episode. Yeah, I thought, everybody, look,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I don't know, this is what I feel. I feel
- 2:50Speaker 1: like somebody gave Sutton Foster a note that said tone
- 2:53Speaker 1: it down, girl, and she did.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Yeah, she's doing good. She's doing good, really good.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And I loved First of all, I think that Truly
- 3:03Speaker 1: got a makeover. Why did Truly look so like pretty,
- 3:08Speaker 1: like she's always pretty, but like.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I've always loved Truly. I think that character is so underrated.
- 3:13Speaker 2: She's the Kirk of bun Heads.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. How about the cardboard full kitchen
- 3:17Speaker 1: with electricity? I was like, oh my god, this is
- 3:20Speaker 1: good amazing.
- 3:21Speaker 2: This is so cute, so cute and so quaint and
- 3:24Speaker 2: small and and almost like a little kid and needed
- 3:28Speaker 2: to buy like a parent needed buy that for their
- 3:30Speaker 2: little kid. So they had a kitchen.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I know that would be amazing. We opened the show
- 3:35Speaker 1: with a dance video of Michelle, so at first I
- 3:37Speaker 1: was like, wait, she's back, everything's fine, and then you
- 3:39Speaker 1: realize Fanny's watching a video. Yeah, and Fanny's like house
- 3:43Speaker 1: is kind of a mess. It's like she's trying to
- 3:45Speaker 1: remodel or do something. So that was that, And then
- 3:49Speaker 1: as you said, we learned like all the girls are
- 3:51Speaker 1: kind of like, is it summer?
- 3:54Speaker 2: You know what's weird about the girls in this episode
- 3:57Speaker 2: is they all were put into adult situation, like they're
- 4:01Speaker 2: a dance class and then be adults.
- 4:04Speaker 1: So this was their summer jobs. I've lost the timeline.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I exit, No, they just did the Nutcracker, so it's
- 4:11Speaker 1: just winter break. I guess.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really know the timing care definitely not
- 4:16Speaker 2: in school because maybe they're still in winter break. Maybe
- 4:19Speaker 2: it's like after Christmas before they go back to school.
- 4:21Speaker 1: They all seem like good girls.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, they're all good girls Minas. Sasha's getting into
- 4:27Speaker 2: some trouble, but there's a lot of payoff in the
- 4:29Speaker 2: end of the.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Sasha the package they keep referring to, what's the package?
- 4:35Speaker 1: Is it? Sasha?
- 4:36Speaker 2: What do you mean the package?
- 4:38Speaker 1: They kept saying, they keep mentioning this package, do you
- 4:41Speaker 1: have the package? Is that? Sasha? Because Sasha, basically we
- 4:46Speaker 1: learned Sasha.
- 4:47Speaker 2: It's like running away from home, essentially, she doesn't want
- 4:49Speaker 2: to have it.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Wait, she was supposed to be at some ballet thing. God,
- 4:53Speaker 1: what's the name of that ballet thing, Jeffrey, Maybe it's summer.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I'm super confused by the way on the timeline. But anyway,
- 5:00Speaker 1: she bailed and she's hiding in the broom closet, and
- 5:04Speaker 1: then eventually she breaks into Michelle's house, which was a
- 5:08Speaker 1: really good scene. We'll talk about that.
- 5:10Speaker 2: At the end, a really good scene.
- 5:12Speaker 1: The dance studio is not open. It's just like storing junk. Yeah,
- 5:15Speaker 1: a bunch of Christmas crap too. Timeline is confusing.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Yeah, the timeline is a very confusing. But yeah, so
- 5:21Speaker 2: Ginny's working for a mom's real sty agency booz babysitting
- 5:24Speaker 2: all the kids while her mom is on bed rest.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Melanie is taking care of her grandfather, which all those
- 5:30Speaker 2: scenes at the Oyster Bar were really actually.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Kind of funny and also a little bit a little
- 5:34Speaker 1: bit sad.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mentioned the package that just being sent
- 5:37Speaker 2: between them.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that was Sasha maybe.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:50Speaker 1: So I really also found it enjoyable. The Vegas stuff
- 5:55Speaker 1: or the Henderson stuff, so she's living with Talia, and
- 5:59Speaker 1: Talia's got this old boyfriend who seems dead nice can be, yeah,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and Tallya totally likes him. And they brought her home
- 6:07Speaker 1: like did you see The food was in like aluminum swans,
- 6:11Speaker 1: like the takeout. The only scene I did not like
- 6:15Speaker 1: was when she was eating the hummus. That was when
- 6:17Speaker 1: she was over the top again, and I'm like, be crazy, Yeah,
- 6:22Speaker 1: Chip hummus, Chip hummus.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Chip made me kind of hungry though, it's like I
- 6:25Speaker 2: want some dumm.
- 6:26Speaker 1: I don't like hummus.
- 6:29Speaker 2: You like it.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I love There's a video that's gone viral of Boo
- 6:34Speaker 1: when they all got maced, which was a little bit
- 6:38Speaker 1: funny too.
- 6:39Speaker 2: It was funny, it was alarious. I am well done,
- 6:45Speaker 2: well done, because that's something that would happen nowadays, right,
- 6:47Speaker 2: Like a viral video would happen off of that, Like
- 6:51Speaker 2: if that, if that happened in real life, a dance
- 6:54Speaker 2: teacher maced all the kids in her program, not only
- 6:59Speaker 2: would it be on use, but it would be on viral,
- 7:01Speaker 2: like they would.
- 7:02Speaker 1: You know, this episode doesn't feel dated. It feels like
- 7:05Speaker 1: it could be right now.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I agree with you. I agree, so I found.
- 7:10Speaker 1: The whole thing enjoyable, even her like performance with TJ.
- 7:17Speaker 1: It's this magic show that's like so bad, and it's
- 7:20Speaker 1: called what is it? You want to see it?
- 7:22Speaker 2: Or what they want to see something?
- 7:24Speaker 1: I want to see something. And he's got like the rings,
- 7:26Speaker 1: the magic rings, and he's like putting them together and
- 7:28Speaker 1: then there's like a box where they make someone disappear
- 7:32Speaker 1: and she's kind of doing a dance with it. It's
- 7:34Speaker 1: so bad, but it's so good.
- 7:36Speaker 2: It's so good, and no one's in the crowd, like
- 7:40Speaker 2: zero two little grannies are in the crowd.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And then one of the performances, Fanny shows up and
- 7:47Speaker 1: that was a great scene. That's a great scene underplayed
- 7:52Speaker 1: by both of them.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Finally, Yeah, and before Fanny shows up, we see her
- 7:58Speaker 2: watching the video of their wedding day and so she's
- 8:01Speaker 2: seeing how Hubble is just so enamored by her and
- 8:04Speaker 2: really does see something really special in Michelle that one
- 8:07Speaker 2: Michelle doesn't see in herself, but that other people are
- 8:09Speaker 2: like this girl's kind of wacky, but he adores her.
- 8:14Speaker 2: And I think it made her take a step back
- 8:18Speaker 2: a little bit and yeah, and evaluate her impact on
- 8:23Speaker 2: her own life, right, like Michelle, whether Fanny likes it
- 8:28Speaker 2: or not, does mean something to.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Her totally, and you get this sort of speech about family.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You get a really lovely, lovely, excellent scene between Sutton
- 8:37Speaker 1: Foster and Kelly Bishop, Fanny and Michelle. Yeah, blah blah blah. Basically,
- 8:42Speaker 1: Sasha goes because she can't stay with the other bun heads,
- 8:46Speaker 1: so she goes to sneak into Michelle's place. She's going
- 8:48Speaker 1: to stay there. And that cute guy that she's dating,
- 8:50Speaker 1: which I do like that guy. I like that guy
- 8:52Speaker 1: for her.
- 8:53Speaker 2: I want his eyeliner to go away.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I get it. He was the basketball
- 8:58Speaker 1: player and he's found himself and now he's kind of alternative.
- 9:01Speaker 1: But they have this cute kiss and then Michelle is there.
- 9:05Speaker 2: They don't kiss. They don't kiss, They weren't kissing. They
- 9:10Speaker 2: were about to, Like they got close to each other,
- 9:13Speaker 2: they were about to kiss.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it was a cute moment though they definitely
- 9:17Speaker 1: like each other. And then Sasha is so happy that
- 9:20Speaker 1: Michelle's back she runs over and hugs her. So Michelle
- 9:23Speaker 1: decides she's not gonna be mad at Sasha for breaking
- 9:25Speaker 1: into the guest house, and she says that Sasha can
- 9:29Speaker 1: stay there, and she tells the dude.
- 9:31Speaker 2: She's like most of the boyfriend like get out of
- 9:34Speaker 2: here or not boyfriend, but the dude get out of here.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Really really another great scene, really good. I remember I
- 9:41Speaker 1: knew this. This is when this show just starts to
- 9:44Speaker 1: just jam like it's so good. Yeah, and all the
- 9:48Speaker 1: sort of like I don't know finding its way is
- 9:53Speaker 1: gone and now it's just great. And then they go
- 9:56Speaker 1: to the studio, right, and they sort of have this conversation,
- 10:00Speaker 1: I might do this, well, I might do this, remember that. Yeah,
- 10:03Speaker 1: I go to New York. I might do that, take
- 10:06Speaker 1: time off.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And they're basically saying we need each other is what
- 10:11Speaker 2: they're saying.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there's like a dance to the the
- 10:14Speaker 1: oh yeah.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Fanny says that she came up with an idea for
- 10:17Speaker 2: the autumn recital.
- 10:18Speaker 1: So this must be right before I guess they all
- 10:21Speaker 1: went away for summer.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah, this has to be summertime.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Maybe she's been gone for a while, yeah, because if
- 10:28Speaker 1: she left after the Nutcracker, maybe it's been months.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And that makes sense because this is month after the
- 10:34Speaker 2: episode premiered, right, So like maybe they're trying to like
- 10:37Speaker 2: do it in real time that it's been like four months.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Yeah it's been yeah, no one, I mean, yeah, it's summer,
- 10:43Speaker 1: so that's why they're all doing their summer jobs. Okay,
- 10:46Speaker 1: we get it. Sorry, it took us the whole recast
- 10:50Speaker 1: blew in, but we got there. Yeah, it's all that matters.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Hope you'll stuck with us.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Fanny shares an idea for the autumn recital, and it's
- 11:00Speaker 2: dancing to the viral video.
- 11:02Speaker 1: That yeah, I forget this saying but it was like
- 11:05Speaker 1: she maced my face or whatever, and then Boo says,
- 11:09Speaker 1: I'm sorry to Michelle. It's a great it's good.
- 11:12Speaker 2: It's good. I had a lot of chuckles in this episode,
- 11:16Speaker 2: and I and I enjoyed it.
- 11:17Speaker 1: I really, I don't have any cringe e other than
- 11:20Speaker 1: the hummus eating, so like that's a low amount of
- 11:23Speaker 1: cringe for me. The hummus eating I didn't like because
- 11:27Speaker 1: it was just know any tummus like that, and she's
- 11:28Speaker 1: just being too again take our note, Sutton Foster under.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Play it down. Yeah, and a lot of the time
- 11:35Speaker 2: the chips didn't even have a hummus on it.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I know, they were so like chip crumbs. But then
- 11:40Speaker 1: when they shot the other side. You see the chips.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm like, why isn't she eating the chips? Said, she's
- 11:45Speaker 1: eating the chip crumbs. Whatever. We've got some issues with
- 11:48Speaker 1: the hummus scene. Funny though, when uh Fanny goes to
- 11:53Speaker 1: the show and she says, I went to your you know,
- 11:56Speaker 1: I went to and you.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Better want to show some hummus.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, funny, all good. Do we rate these?
- 12:03Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 12:03Speaker 1: We do.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I'm going to say that out of ten for me,
- 12:06Speaker 2: for in a Bunheads not compared to Gilmore Girls, compared
- 12:11Speaker 2: to the Head's Like as a Bunheads episode, this is
- 12:13Speaker 2: a nine out of ten. I enjoyed it. I liked it.
- 12:16Speaker 2: It was entertaining.
- 12:17Speaker 1: I'm a nine too.
- 12:18Speaker 2: All right, guys, Well, next episode I'm excited for it.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Somehow involves Channing Tatum.
