Shows Over Bros

It's a very special episode this week! This week, the girls took advantage of the surprise appearance of Gilmore Girls expert Ashley Westhem to bring you a very special interview, all about your favorite comfort show. While Megan is off saving the world, Maggie sits down with Ashley to get all her takes on all the things in Stars Hollow that haven't been discussed yet. Tune in for an in-depth conversation about the surprising ways the girls relate to Rory's story, the ship Ashley feels is drastically underrated, some of the favorite scenes, episodes, and lines that deserve far more attention, and a whole lot more. This is one episode our Gilmore Girls fans will not want to miss.

It might be Tuesday, but Maggie & Megan are embracing their Friday school spirit! This week, the girls are scoring some touchdowns, kicking some field goals, and diving into the show that celebrates the epic highs and lows of high school football- FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.  Join the girls for an in-depth discussion on why Eric Taylor is the ultimate “Daddy”,  how one pivotal relationship made them believe in marriage, why this show’s unique realism is core to it’s success, and how they fell in love with Lance, Six, Seven, and Riggins (and why you should too.) This small town drama is a show for everyone, even if the extent of your football knowledge is “Taylor Swift’s boyfriend won the Super Bowl.” So clear your eyes, fill your hearts, and come on a journey with them to Texas as they explore all the ways this show has become one of the best teen dramas, if not one of the best all-time shows, of the 21st century. Texas Forever!

It’s back to California as the girls do a deep dive on the show that made this podcast possible - VERONICA MARS. Megan & Maggie dissect the ways in which this show broke ground (and occasionally fell short), what made Veronica an iconic and original protagonist, the mysteries that stick with them, and the LoVe scenes they return to time and again. They also discuss the importance of vulnerability even in the face of intense personal tragedy. Grab your camera and messenger bag as the girls deduce why this cult classic inspired thousands of fans to invest both not only emotionally but also financially in their feisty heroine and the town that kept pulling her back in. CW: adult themes.

In this episode, Maggie & Megan are starting their deep dive on each individual 2000s teen drama, beginning with the OG classic - Dawson's Creek. Dawson's walked so the later teen dramas of the early aughts could run. The girls dive into what aged the best, what aged the worst (ahem, looking at you Dawson), alternate titles for a show that centers arguably its worst character, and the most important life lesson we took away. Plus, they give a preview of what's to come in future episodes and seasons of the pod!
