Speaker 1: I am all in again.
Speaker 2: Oh you Gillmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo,
Speaker 2: an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Alrighty, Season one, episode seven, What's your Damage, Heather? And
Speaker 3: obviously you're here listening to our bunhead's recap.
Speaker 2: I do like the title, and I do like What's
Speaker 2: Your Damage, Heather? Like that was a good pop culture reference.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I find them to be a bit gratuitous in Bunheads,
Speaker 2: like they're too obvious that one was good and Sasha
Speaker 2: is so I know.
Speaker 1: So let me give you a shopsis for those listening.
Speaker 3: Michelle struggles to manage the dance studio of Fanny extends
Speaker 3: her vacation, leaving her overwhelmed by classes and plumbing issues,
Speaker 3: and Genny faces disappointment in her anniversary plan with Josh
Speaker 3: and the girls in Dade Michelle's home when they're changing
Speaker 3: room floods.
Speaker 2: First of all, the I watched this a couple of
Speaker 2: nights ago.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the director?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So sorry, yes we can.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to give it to them. Who's the director?
Speaker 2: Is Jackson?
Speaker 3: Douglas Jackson, And that is probably why I liked this
Speaker 3: episode well.
Speaker 2: And we got a Gilmore surprise with Todd Lowe as
Speaker 2: the one I am yep, and.
Speaker 3: He did so good as the one I was good.
Speaker 2: So this episode I would say I I like more.
Speaker 2: There is one scene that is just a no for me.
Speaker 2: In general. I think that Sutton Foster is playing Michelle
Speaker 2: two over the top.
Speaker 3: This fe's a little bit better if this felt better
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 2: At the end, it got really good, like she started
Speaker 2: to really get her groove when she's you know, just
Speaker 2: playing the girls and doesn't yeah, and then the other
Speaker 2: mom comes in. She was great. There The scene that
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is actually terrible. It's bad, which is
Speaker 2: when she's on the phone with Fanny Oh, playing that
Speaker 2: Lauren Graham could have been seen off. She's having the
Speaker 2: conversation with She's like.
Speaker 3: Leaving a voicemail. She wasn't really on the phone, yeah, correct.
Speaker 2: She's leaving a voicemail for Fanny well and then playing like, well,
Speaker 2: I know what you'll say, Fanny, You'll say this. It
Speaker 2: was not good. It was bad. It's a bad scene.
Speaker 1: Fair, fair, fair fair.
Speaker 2: Lauren Graham could have pulled that off and it would
Speaker 2: have been great. On this I was like, I'm cringing
Speaker 2: so hard. I'm cringing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, if we think back on Gilmour Girls, that
Speaker 3: scene at the very end with Lauren well, Laura I
Speaker 3: calling Emily and just word vomiting was so awful.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is beyond it.
Speaker 2: Now she does have Emily technically on the other line,
Speaker 2: but there are parts where Lauren Graham did this same
Speaker 2: sort of bit, like Amy Sherman Palladino writes, these bits, right,
Speaker 2: we've seen that. You see it at the end. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you've seen it with Lauren Graham. I just I think
Speaker 2: that was my problem. I was like, this is yeah,
Speaker 2: it just took me out, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: I'm cringing. It's not good now. She redeems herself later,
Speaker 2: the leaking gave me a lot of agita because I
Speaker 2: don't know why. But then I had a nightmare about
Speaker 2: my own roof leaking. I think I've had a roof leak.
Speaker 2: They're just so upsetting and this was really truly really
Speaker 2: stole the episode too. When she's like, once you get
Speaker 2: the mill Deucemell, you're never getting rid of it.
Speaker 3: And I'm just gonna I'm gonna come back and say,
Speaker 3: truly is it for me? I love this. I love truly.
Speaker 3: I love that character in this show.
Speaker 2: When she answers her phone at the shop and she's
Speaker 2: basically like, right, I'm at Sparkles, and then when she
Speaker 2: hangs up dead pants, I'm a part of this now,
Speaker 2: I'm part.
Speaker 1: I love her. She's she's great, so good. Okay, so
Speaker 1: let's let's start from the top. So they started at class.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and the kids all have to go to
Speaker 2: the bathroom. That was funny. That was good. That was
Speaker 2: I don't enjoy how she eats, Sutton Fosters her eat
Speaker 2: acting is too too much chewing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we aggressive compensating for actually eating.
Speaker 2: But I totally love Boo's mom. Boo's mom is very
Speaker 2: comfortable in her acting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I keep waiting for there to be like, uh, you
Speaker 3: know how Sasha's parents. We are seeing that their relationship
Speaker 3: formed a lot of who she is. I'm like trying
Speaker 3: to find that parallel with Boo. I'm starting to see
Speaker 3: it a little bit. Her mom seems like she's got
Speaker 3: a hundred things going on at one time, but she's
Speaker 3: very discombobulated.
Speaker 1: But she's sweat Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like I liked her when we met her in
Speaker 2: a previous episode, and I like her.
Speaker 1: Now, can we discuss what air fries are? What are
Speaker 1: air for?
Speaker 2: I'm just assume they're made in the air fryer, as
Speaker 2: opposed to Greece or however you make.
Speaker 1: Fries oil hmmm.
Speaker 2: So like when you go to like a fast food place,
Speaker 2: haven't you ever seen they dip that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a bat of oil.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you put this in the air fryer. They're
Speaker 2: probably much healthier for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm down for an air fry.
Speaker 2: We're getting the background on Ginny and Josh and being
Speaker 2: their eight year anniversary and they've been together since second
Speaker 2: grade and she wants to have this certain date that
Speaker 2: her mom ruins Yeah, and you kind of felt bad
Speaker 2: for her, and then you're like like, we'll jump around,
Speaker 2: we don't have to go see by scene. Do you
Speaker 2: think Michelle is responsible for them breaking up? I don't
Speaker 2: think so.
Speaker 3: I think it was Bruin and Jenny from last episode
Speaker 3: when she I think was.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I wouldn't have done it just from that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's been with this guy since what they were
Speaker 3: in second grade.
Speaker 1: I think she said.
Speaker 2: Mom seems like a real pin in the ass too.
Speaker 2: The Mom's all mad because she doesn't have someone to
Speaker 2: fix her windows anymore. It's like, come on, lady, you
Speaker 2: know that character is already kind of we know, unhinged.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but hey, I mean I I'm here for Jenny
Speaker 3: being single.
Speaker 1: I mean me too.
Speaker 2: And I felt so bad for Boo. Oh when the
Speaker 2: brother starts asking about Ginny, It's like, oh my.
Speaker 3: God, that brother is a real treat. And then you
Speaker 3: see Gennys like interested in.
Speaker 2: She's so flattered, and I think Boo. The thing I
Speaker 2: love about Boo is that she actually went over and
Speaker 2: told her she didn't keep it to herself.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. She's the most selfless person in the series.
Speaker 2: She's so honest. She's such a good friend. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not as crazy about the scene like
Speaker 2: where Michelle's oh, she's so tired from the top dancing,
Speaker 2: like I don't know.
Speaker 1: To me, I'm just like like, are you a dancer
Speaker 1: or right?
Speaker 2: Anyway, we get we see Zach as the one eyed
Speaker 2: plumber that was hilarious and everyone being like, you don't
Speaker 2: call him for plumbing. Oh, and then the girls get
Speaker 2: to go into Michelle's house. What did you think of them?
Speaker 2: Just going through all her stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, the glitter thong was funny.
Speaker 2: I just don't know that they were going to just
Speaker 2: dig through her stuff like that. That seemed a little
Speaker 2: far fetched, but yet.
Speaker 3: I didn't hate it. I mean it's kind of funny.
Speaker 3: I mean the glitter thong. What else did they find?
Speaker 2: That was? What? Did the jar? Peanut butter buyer bed? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I don't like. Do people do that?
Speaker 2: You'd have ants so fast? I would never do that.
Speaker 2: I don't need food out, like you're asking for flies
Speaker 2: and ants and maybe something worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh the rag doll that was not cut in half,
Speaker 3: ripped apart and sewing back together.
Speaker 1: That was kind of funny.
Speaker 2: Palsy though, when Sasha stole her shirt and then wore it,
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: That Sasha is some trouble.
Speaker 2: Seriously. That was ooh that was crazy. The blow drying
Speaker 2: was funny, but then then it takes it over the
Speaker 2: top when she was just so loud. She was like, like,
Speaker 2: I have my criticisms, like she was so remember she's
Speaker 2: so loud. She's like, Oh, it's the blow dryers still
Speaker 2: on or is that yeah? And I'm like, oh, calm.
Speaker 1: Down, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I agree.
Speaker 2: Then they go to the Oyster Bar and they kind
Speaker 2: of like, you know, Michelle's taking them out to dinner,
Speaker 2: and that's when she kind of says, like, whoa, I
Speaker 2: was dating around and how can you do that? Blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. Okay, so it's kind of her fault that
Speaker 2: they break up, but maybe not totally. Michelle catches Truly
Speaker 2: and and the one eyed plumber making out.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that was so funny and truly getting
Speaker 3: caught and then and she even said it herself.
Speaker 1: She's like, you don't ask him to. I hate his plumbing,
Speaker 1: but I liked it.
Speaker 2: It's pretty amusing and it moves quickly. And then later
Speaker 2: Michelle goes over to talk to Truly and sort of
Speaker 2: apologize and they kind of make up. And then that's
Speaker 2: where Michelle sees Sasha wearing the shirt and they have
Speaker 2: that real incident where she really disciplines her and wags
Speaker 2: her finger and kind of yells at her. Now Sasha
Speaker 2: does come down and dance. I would like thought Sasha
Speaker 2: maybe would have just left. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did find that scene good though, because I
Speaker 3: do feel like Sasha needs that and she's craving that
Speaker 3: she's craving that order and that discipline and that totally
Speaker 3: you know, account of but like, I feel like her
Speaker 3: character has just never had that with her parents. And
Speaker 3: she says to herself that her parents never notice basically
Speaker 3: anything that she does. So she's wanting to be seen
Speaker 3: and she's wanting to be guided. And so I think
Speaker 3: Michelle having that moment with her, you know, any other person,
Speaker 3: that probably would have made them cry, but she was
Speaker 3: just like, that's kind of what she wants.
Speaker 2: I like, Sasha, I'm intrigued by her because she's so complicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: And those girls all can dance? You really see that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was actually thinking about it, like did they did?
Speaker 1: They? Were they all dancers that they cast for this.
Speaker 2: Role and they assuming I'm assuming they saw.
Speaker 1: She's a dancer.
Speaker 2: You can just they hired all these girls because they
Speaker 2: also had the ballet background.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we kind of talked about Boo's mom and that
Speaker 2: was really good. Again, the fake cookie eating kind of
Speaker 2: isn't my.
Speaker 1: Clove kin chocolate?
Speaker 2: The fact that she had the juice box and the
Speaker 2: cookie and the magic person, which one.
Speaker 1: The pumpk chocolatechip cookie that she made look delicious. It
Speaker 1: looks really good.
Speaker 2: And they were very mom like in a baggie, like
Speaker 2: the whole things like pretty good. And then uh, I
Speaker 2: think at the end we see Boo kind of sad
Speaker 2: as she's getting in the car, and the mom kind
Speaker 2: of looks like, yep, this is it. So it was
Speaker 2: a good episode. It's a good episode. I'd say it's
Speaker 2: not the best one yet, but definitely better than those
Speaker 2: two that weren't so good.
Speaker 3: The first episode has been the best so far. This
Speaker 3: one is the second best for me. I did I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: this is this is getting good.
Speaker 2: I think the hard time is Sutton Foster leaving Broadway behind?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? It's like that's my
Speaker 2: main thing is she's a tad over the top, and
Speaker 2: uh it's not. She's not understated, and it jars me.
Speaker 2: But I mean, who am I to judge? Is it
Speaker 2: just my look? We give it.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a quick one, but I mean overall,
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 3: I would read it out of ten air fries.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it eight grape juice boxes and cookies
Speaker 2: in a baggie. I think Jackson Douglas well done directing
Speaker 2: a good episode. I think we definitely enjoy it more
Speaker 2: when there's a Gilmour surprise. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That Zach Podlow was good and it Yeah, Zach was great.
Speaker 2: We got to see a little gypsy dancing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna. I have no problem keep been going.
Speaker 2: It's not like I'm like, oh, this is torturing you
Speaker 2: watching this. It's not as good in the rewatch as
Speaker 2: it was the first time I watched it. I will
Speaker 2: admit that, but I'm enjoying. I enjoy Bunheads. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How many episodes are in this season? You said eighteen
Speaker 1: or something? All Right, so we're nothing.
Speaker 2: We move on to Masiel.
Speaker 3: We're almost halfway through it. That's how I feel. You're
Speaker 3: laughing for those of it that I can't see. Amy's
Speaker 3: cracking up. I think she's I don't know, why are
Speaker 3: you like when.
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm halfway through. My dentist appointment was sort
Speaker 2: of five. I was getting from that.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have watched this series if it was not
Speaker 3: for this show. However, I'm not made that. I am right.
Speaker 2: I'm not like, oh no, I have to watch Bonets
Speaker 2: like I'm like it's fine, quick it Yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 2: like Masilo. I think kind of gets a little better too,
