In August 2015, ''Gilmore Guys'' was picked up by the [[HeadGum]] podcast network and gained corporate sponsorship.<ref name="EW0915"/> On October 19, 2015, they released an "Emergency Podcast" after news broke on [[TVLine]] that [[Netflix]] planned to revive the series for four 90-minute episodes.<ref name="Revive">{{cite web |url=http://tvline.com/2015/10/19/gilmore-girls-revival-netflix-new-episodes/ |title=Gilmore Girls Limited-Series Revival Set at Netflix – This Is Not a Drill |last=[[Michael Ausiello|Ausiello]] |first=[[Michael Ausiello|Michael]] |date=October 19, 2015 |work=[[TVLine]]}}</ref> Porter and Adejuyigbe appeared in several different media to discuss the ramifications of the announcement, including an article written for ''[[The Guardian]]'' by Adejuyigbe,<ref name="Guard">{{cite web |title=This Gilmore Guy is hyped for a Gilmore Girls reboot, and you should be too |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/20/gilmore-girls-reboot-netflix-discussion-culture |last=Adejuwigbe |first=Demi |date=October 20, 2015}}</ref> and an interview segment on [[NPR]].<ref name="NPR">{{cite web |url=http://www.npr.org/2015/10/25/451643579/gilmore-guys-on-gilmore-girls-return |title=One Way To Handle A 'Gilmore Girls' Revival: 'I Wept Immediately' |work=[[NPR]] |date=October 25, 2015}}</ref> Commenting on how this changed the dynamic of the podcast, Porter joked "We've transitioned to the living".<ref name=guardian/> The Guys finished their coverage of the original seven seasons just before the revival was released, allowing then to comment on ''[[Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life]]'' when it was brand new and without any gaps in their weekly installments.

 

Early on in the podcast, Porter and Adejuyigbe announced their intention to cover the [[Amy Sherman-Palladino]] show ''[[Bunheads]]'' upon completing all of the episodes of ''Gilmore Girls''.<ref name="DObs"/><ref name="Demi">{{cite web |url=https://www.inverse.com/article/10113-demi-adejuyigbe-jumped-from-weird-twitter-to-weird-tv-and-you-can-too |title=Demi Adejuyigbe Jumped From Weird Twitter To Weird TV And You Can Too |last=Wilbur |first=Brock |date=January 12, 2016}}</ref> This new series began in January 2017, under the moniker "Bunhead Bros" but still released through the ''Gilmore Guys'' podcast. In this time, the pilot of Sherman-Palladino's new show ''[[The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel]]'' was released, for which they held a special episode. They completed their commentary of ''Bunheads'' in May 2017.

 

==Format==

 

The typical ''Gilmore Guys'' podcast episode involves Porter, Adejuyigbe, and usually a guest discussing a previously viewed episode of ''Gilmore Girls'' (and later ''Bunheads''). They cover the episodes chronologically and without spoilers for subsequent episodes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hellogiggles.com/gilmore-guys-our-favorite-podcast/ |work=[[HelloGiggles]] |title=Meet 'Gilmore Guys,' your new favorite podcast |date=December 29, 2014}}</ref>

 

Most of the review episodes are recorded in a studio, but around 30 are from live show recordings. Starting with 5.07 these were made available as video episodes on the ''Gilmore Guys'' YouTube channel, alongside the traditional audio format.<ref name="BW"/><ref name="Ep507">{{cite web |work=YouTube |title=Episode 5.07 You Jump I Jump, Jack |date=September 28, 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkubA3OXuks}}</ref>

 

Starting in March 2015, ''Gilmore Guys'' started including interviews with people involved with making ''Gilmore Girls''. These differ from the typical episodes, in that they do not discuss a particular ''Gilmore Girls'' episode. The "Gabs" involve talking to cast or crew members about their upbringing, careers, how they came to work on ''Gilmore Girls'', and their personal experiences making the show. The [[Scott Patterson]] episode garnered considerable attention, not only because it featured a main star of the show for the first time, but because Patterson mentioned "talks" of a ''Gilmore Girls'' revival.<ref>{{cite web |last=Locker|first=Melissa |title=A Gilmore Girls Reunion Could Be Heading Our Way |work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |date=May 22, 2015 |url=http://time.com/3893844/gilmore-girls-reunion/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |work=[[US Magazine]] |url=http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/gilmore-girls-scott-patterson-team-dean-talks-reunion-see-pics-2015215 |title=Gilmore Girls' Scott Patterson Is Team Dean, Talks Reunion |date=May 21, 2015}}</ref> There are 24 separate Gilmore Gab episodes.

 

The Guys dedicate episodes to answering questions from their listeners. These come in the form of emails, voicemails, and occasionally live calls. There are a total of 25 Gilmail episodes and several "Call my name" episodes.

 

Special episodes have come in a variety of forms. Following [[Edward Herrmann]]'s death on December 31, 2014, Gilmore Guys released a tribute episode which highlighted his contributions to the show. They also did several episodes discussing their expectations for the revival series. As a one-off, they recorded a parody episode called "The [[Entourage (U.S. TV series)|Entourage]] Entourage". They also did a special episode discussing the pilot of Amy Sherman-Palladino's new series ''[[The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel]]''.

 

The guys did a live show called "Live in NYC - The Lost Scripts" in which they performed scripts they had written based on ''Gilmore Girls'' characters. The scripts featured many inside jokes from the TV show and the podcast.

 

 

;Pop Goes the Culture

Kevin and Demi give guests the opportunity to plug their upcoming projects, performances, and social media accounts. The guys will also plug their own social media accounts. Starting in their coverage of the fifth season of ''Gilmore Girls'', in keeping with the pop culture theme of the show, the Guys and their guest each also give a "pop culture plug" where they plug a TV show, movie, album or book they are enjoying. Where You Tweet, I Will Follow is the only recurring segment to be included in the Gilmore Gabs episodes as well as the standard review episodes.
