Just call us The Blur because we are STEAMING through the Gilmore Girls canon and blasting our way into season 5, episode 2 “A Messenger, Nothing More” part 1! We catch up with Luke supporting ye olde deadbeats, Lorelai channeling her daughter drama and blue balls into frantic overwork, Rory processing in Italy, and Lane soaring so high that we fear she can only fall. Will Zack snare her heart by being aggressively awful? Is this the episode where we finally see some Luke and Lorelai P-in-V? Tune in next week for part 2 to find out!

We’re back baby with the thrilling conclusion of our season 5 premiere coverage. Beefs are roasted, Baptists are bumped, and both our gals head into the summer geographically removed from the objects of their affection. See you next time for (hopefully) a 35 minute HD consummation scene on a table with Luke and Lorelai.

CREEPS! This week we bring you an extra special episode of DC; we’re recording in PERSON! This recording went so swimmingly we decided to upload it with zero editing. Hopefully you enjoy the raw, uncut Creeps Gone Wild version of our art. If you do, let us know! If you hate it, also let us know, but take solace in the knowledge that we don’t get the opportunity to record in person very often so it won’t roll around again any time soon! - Z
We hope you’re ready to do the right thing Creeps cause you’ve been going steady with us for four seasons now and we’re “Late” (Original airdate April 25th, 2001. Written by Chris Levinson and Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by David Petrarca). This theme has got you going and coming: Joey is late to surf the crimson tide, Gail is late to deliver her unwanted baby, Gretchen is late for going back to school, and we offhandedly learn that Jackers is chronically tardy. It all hangs together! If you want to hang together with us, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow would make a simply lovely birthing soundtrack.

We are ready for our closeups Creeps because this week we ARE “His Leading Lady” (Original airdate February 3rd, 1999. Written by Darin Goldberg and Shelley Meals and directed by David Semel). We get object lessons in bad behavior from manic pixie dream girl in training Devon (aka RACHEL LEE COOK) going full method on Josephine, to Jawson wallowing in his breakup by forcing everyone he knows to help him make a movie about it, to a man trapping a hungry and unwilling woman at bible study, and even Saint Pacey ignoring pleas for space in order to engage in some light breaking and entering.
If you want to learn from our impeccable behavior, follow us on twitter (@dawsons_creeps) and instagram (@dawsonscreeps). Need a soundtrack for your demented heartbreak reenactment film? Might I suggest our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow? Join us next week when I pray Abby Morgan will be back to spice up the Creek!

Grab a magnifying glass and your handy dandy notebook Creeps because this week we’re on the case of the hot beef injection with season 2 episode 11, “Sex, She Wrote” (Original airdate January 20th, 1999. Written by Mike White and Greg Berlanti and directed by Nick Marck). Join detectives Abby Morgan and Chris Horny Toad as they brave fake petitions, book fairs and charcoal drawings to uncover the truth. Who DONE it (wink wink, nudge nudge)?

Our sanity is on a tugboat headed to the brink because this week we were made to watch season five, episode seventeen “Highway to Hell” (Original airdate April 3rd, 2002. Written by Anna Fricke and directed by Sanford Bookstaver). There are so many things to say about Dawson and Jen’s breakup or Pacey and Audrey (and Joey’s) budding romance but frankly it’s all drowned out by Josephine Potter squeak singing YET AGAIN. Let us croon something much more enjoyable to you via our instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow is blissfully K Holmes free.

Your hosts are reporting live from August re the turkey time shenanigans of our Gilmore Gals in season three, episode 9 “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving.” We’ve got a LOT to say and I can’t claim we get very far into the (tofurkey) meat of this ep before we break for part deux. But join us for introspections on Battlestar Galactica, why our emotional reactions to GG are so fraught, and our Jess feels. To paraphrase Sonia Morgan “There’s nothing gray about OUR gardens.”

En garde! It's season 3, episode 11, "I Solemnly Swear", and in this part 1, we're setting up backstabbing, abandoned parking garages, and a fencing lesson simply dripping with earnest lesbionic overtones. Say no more! We'll suit up and meet you on the piste!

We are finally finishing our turkey day leftovers with “A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving” PART 2. Do we still get sidetracked by aprox one million tangents? Sure! But by god we made it through a measly half an ep with all the aplomb of our gals chomping their way through four full dinners. Bring on the rolls!
