It’s a George Clooney double feature! In honor of his new rom-com with Julia Roberts releasing today (Ticket to Paradise), we’re watching two movies he starred in (and one he directed) that are referenced in the Gilmore Girls season 6 episode “You’ve Been Gilmored.” First it’s the 2002 sci-fi drama Solaris, in which Clooney is investigating some weird behavior in outer space, and then it’s the 2005 journalism docudrama in which Clooney is investigating some un-American behavior in the newsroom. What is the story of Solaris? To what famous journalist is Paris comparing herself? What did audiences and critics think of these movies? And did the Oscar buzz get to George Clooney?

We Wholeheartedly Recommend: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Cheers

Other pop culture we ref: Mickey Rooney, All the President’s Men; Ocean’s 11; I Know Who Killed Me; mother!; The Tender Bar; The Wicker Man; Good Morning, Vietnam; Dylan Thomas
