Generation Gilmore Girls: Play it again, Amy!

About this episode

The episode explores the enduring fandom of 'Gilmore Girls' and its impact on community and culture.

25 years after its premiere, "Gilmore Girls" lives on because of its fans. Those fans have created a special community – one that feels a lot like the small town of Stars Hollow in the show. What is it about "Gilmore Girls" that inspires people to come together? And what can it teach us about what we’re missing in our daily lives? “Gilmore Guys” podcast host Kevin T. Porter, cast member Yanic Truesdale, and Firelight Festival organizer Jennie Whitaker reflect on the special fandom that is keeping the show alive on television screens and in our hearts.
