Advertise on podcast: So it's a show?: keeping up with the Gilmore Girls

What: Come join us on June 30th for a hang out via Remarkist and discuss Gilmore Girls pop culture refs! When: June 30th, 2022 at 6 p.m. PTWhere: The Remarkist Clubhouse Club on the Clubhouse mobile app (see more details about joining here (https://soitsashowpodcast.tumblr.com/))And now, details on this episode...Who’s our friend? Oh, that’s Paris Geller, but today we’re calling her Angela. In this ep, we take a stab (pun intended) at Paris’s new nickname, inspired by one Angela Lansbury, the star of the hit murder mystery show we knew nothing about: Murder, She Wrote. Other things we don’t know about include the answers to these questions: Was there *actually* a secret killer trolling the town in Murder, She Wrote? Will Angela Lansbury *ever* win an Emmy? And *was* Luke running a crime ring in his diner? While we leave those cases cold, listen in for the cases we *do* solve, like what it’s like to watch Mitchum Huntzberger die.You’re the Best/You’re the Worst: Gilmore Girls deaths (Please send your incensed emails to [email protected])Other pop culture we ref: Gaslight, Elizabeth Taylor,  Beauty and the Beast, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, George Clooney, 13 Going on 30, The Emmys, Leonardo DiCaprio, Octavia Spencer, Murder on the Orient ExpressCheck us out on Instagram!

We’re coming back with The Comeback! We’re checking out Lisa Kudrow’s other sitcom—if you can call it a comedy—along with its cast connections to Gilmore Girls. What real life lawsuit may have inspired a storyline on the HBO show? Is it possible for a show to be cringier than April Nardini? (Spoiler alert: Yes.)

Um, nope, Jess—Rory did the opposite of graduating. But you know who DID graduate and then some? Doogie Howser, M.D. We check out the Neil Patrick Harris teen doctor dramedy that was not at all what we were expecting. How did every episode of this show feel like a Very Special Episode? What does NPH think of the show now? And does Doogie have anything in common with Rory? Other pop culture we ref: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Full House; Chris Evans; Friends; Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.; How I Met Your FatherWe Wholeheartedly Recommend: The Stand-In (2020), The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)Check us out on Instagram!

We feel the need...the need for beach volleyball! We’re going back to the ‘80s again for a closer look at Top Gun, the fighter jet blockbuster that launched Tom Cruise to stardom. How does this movie compare with the real Top Gun in the Navy? What other pop culture has used this same pop culture ref? Why does all beach volleyball attire seem so uncomfortable? And why doesn’t Paris feel the need for beach volleyball? We do our best to answer all those questions and get the scoop on the long-awaited sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.Other pop culture we ref: The Outsiders, Footloose, Marathon Man, 30 Rock, Pirates of the Caribbean, Hot Shots!, Planes, Independence Day, Pearl Harbor, Hamilton, Transformers, A Few Good Men, Law & Order, Harry Potter, Airplane!, Serena WilliamsCheck us out on Instagram!

Grab your union pins, cardboard, and markers—we have a movie you need to get behind! In this Gilmore girls episode, Lorelai is sticking it to the man just like Norma Rae (or should we say Crystal Lee Sutton?), so we're sticking Sally Field, a tiny North Carolina town, and a union movement to your podcast feed.Other pop culture we ref: Rocky, Jane Fonda, Friends, Forrest Gump, The Parent Trap, The Amazing Spider-man, Ronald ReaganWe Wholeheartedly Recommend: Home Fries (1998), John Mulaney From Scratch 2022 Comedy TourCheck us out on Instagram!

Paris has joined the Proletariat, and she's learning the lingo with the help of an '80s rom-com and a '90s sitcom. Would the work-place banter in these productions really help Paris be a better server at Rory's DAR event? We discuss if an average TV show is better or worse than a movie with some icky undertones and an award-winning theme song.Other pop culture we ref: The Graduate; Murder, She Wrote; Sandra Bullock; The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; Veronica Mars; Friends; Gorillas in the Mist; 98°We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Ambulance, Just Like HeavenCheck us out on Instagram!

Well, we’re here again with another episode about an ‘00s CW show about an exceptionally bright teen with a very close parental relationship and in a relationship with a rich boy named Logan. Plot twist: It’s Veronica Mars! In Kyla’s latest rewatch of our other fave CW series, she realized this teen detective show loves pop culture refs almost as much as the Gilmores, so we had to do some compare and contrast with how they’re used. We revisit some of our past refs—including but not limited to the Beatles, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Pretty in Pink, and This Is Spinal Tap—and find other fun crossovers between the series.Other pop culture we ref: Archie Comics, Barbara Eden, Keith Richards, Mommie Dearest, National Velvet, Omar Sharif, Sid and Nancy, The Thomas Crown Affair, XanaduCheck us out on Instagram!

Button up your uniform and step into your dancing shoes—the Hollywood Canteen is open for business! Rory is inspired by a '40s nightclub when planning a DAR event, and we're watching the star-studded movie that promoted it. We also look into the other movie we mixed it up with, how Hollywood A-listers supported the war effort during World War II, and whether Rory's idea was a hit.

STOP then Rewind! We're being kind and rewinding to take a closer look at Lorelai's VHS collection, which includes one of the longest-running prime time dramas in history (Knot's Landing), a family sitcom (Please Don't Eat the Daisies), an '80s show that was turned into a movie franchise (21 Jump Street), a Hallmark movie that would never be made today (Riding the Bus With My Sister), and some Super Bowl commercials. Who is Spuds Mackenzie? Why did Brooke Shields get flack for modeling jeans? How many DeLuises acted with Johnny Depp? And WHERE'S THE BEEF? Bottom line: Lorelai better hold on to those tapes or she may never get to watch these shows again!We Wholeheartedly Recommend: Marry Me, The Marvelous Mrs. MaiselOther pop culture we ref: Bewitched, The Lord of the Rings, Peyton Place, Marathon Man, Alec Baldwin, Brad Pitt, Dallas, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Clockstoppers, 24, "Baby Got Back"Check us out on Instagram!

It's another secret mission, and this time Emily Gilmore is giving us our assignment. As she and Rory investigate DAR drama, we investigate the Valerie Plame Affair. Who was Valerie Plame? If she was undercover in the CIA, why do we know who she is? And should Rory use her as an inspiration for her snooping?

Lorelai and Luke are arguing about the flaws of Star Wars and Bewitched, and we're comparing and contrasting the Bewitched series and movie. We're also trying to keep up with Samantha's many hijinks and her many relatives, plus the weird premise of the 2005 Nora Ephron movie. And we answer the important question: Did they screw up Bewitched?Other pop culture we ref: I Dream of Jeannie; Xanadu; Citizen Kane; The Love Boat; Murder, She Wrote; WandaVision; Miss Congeniality; You've Got Mail; Hobbs & Shaw; Santa Clarita DietWe Wholeheartedly Recommend: Sporcle.com, Red Notice, Never Been KissedCheck us out on Instagram!

When we're not answering doors like Benson, we're recording podcasts about Benson. It's our first Michel reference, and we're trying to figure out why he thinks he's the star of an '80s sitcom. How did this show subvert stereotypes in TV? Where does this show fit in the career of star Robert Guillaume? And is Michel really as, um, helpful and successful as the butler-turned-gubernatorial candidate?
