Still Buffering

It's time for our Still Buff Sibs to deep dive into one of the best and most iconic female punk bands of the 90s/2000s, because that's quite literally the perfect era for us to be deep diving into, so let's talk about The Donnas!

Literally HOW have we not talked about this already?? It's a universally beloved 90s teen movie, how did it take us YEARS to make an episode on it???

Our littlest Smirl sibling realized she had seen so many cool new hip Gen Z artists in concert recently but still hasn't shared them with her older siblings, so it's time to fix that!

It's finally time to talk about the most talked about movie of the year (maybe the century) because we know you all have just been dying waiting for the Still Buffering take on Barbie. (side note: this was recorded before Oscar nominations came out, or else I'm sure we would have had a lot to say about that too) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas Help support this show and unlock bonu...

Every once in a while we take a look back at those classic 90s/2000s romcoms and are reminded how familiar they all feel, but for this one....it gets weird. Like, this movie is kind of weird and we can't believe it came out 27 years ago. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

We've finally reached the point in our dystopian world that the Squid Games are REAL, so of course we had to watch them and talk about how absolutely unhinged they are.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

We've delved into the world of Scott Pilgrim before, but we all couldn't wait for its newest installment in the form of an anime. While it might not seem like a new addition to the series could survive without much Scott actually in it, we all realized (spoiler alert) it's actually better that way maybe?

The whole basis for this episode came from Sydnee calling Rileigh "very much a Sally," and Rileigh (having no idea what this meant) immediately had to watch this classic movie for the first time ever to see whether her big sister was roasting her or not. Also just because she's a Virgo DOES NOT MEAN SHE'S HIGH MAINTENANCE, OKAY? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas Help support this sho...

Out of all the people that could have introduced our siblings to this teen lesbian fight club movie, somehow it was their dad, but they're really glad he discovered it because they can't get enough.

The day has once again arrived where Taylor Swift releases (or rereleases) a new album and Rileigh has a perfect excuse to make her siblings listen to it.

It's not often that our eldest Smirl siblings can bring something to the table that Rileigh never even knew existed...but boy Sydnee certainly hit the mark there this week. Also, are gnomes scary?

We had planned on talking about Jimmy and his music in our next episode, but with the news of his passing, we found it difficult to talk about much else this week than the man whose music has brought our family together for decades. We got a little emotional this week, but join us as we take a trip through not only our favorite Jimmy songs, but our favorite Jimmy memories from a life full of them....

We're big fans of Miyazaki films around here, and while we may be slightly partial to Howl's Moving Castle (and for some of us, the tasty tasty looking food in that movie) this one is right up there too.

It's not every week we get to take a journey through an amorphous idea of media on this show, but this time we're taking a deep dive into the world of Mario Mario, including all its lil quirks that maybe don't make that much sense but don't just think about them too hard because it's MARIO.

This week, we learn that the Smirl siblings have no idea what/where/who New England is, but they're convinced it's Appalachian, even though they literally just figured out that it's not. But we'll still talk about Noah Kahan's album like it's about Appalachia.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

It's that wonderful time of year once again where Rileigh gets to force her siblings to sit down and talk about Taylor Swift with her for a whole 45 minutes.

Sometimes, one of us loves a character or an artist or a body of work so much we can't even narrow down our favorite pieces, we just have to talk about absolutely all of it, so that's why this week Teylor has us talking ALL about ALL things Harley Quinn.
