Still Buffering

Well, we have finally done it. We have found the birth place of modern podcasting as we know it, so since Rileigh got to discuss the roots of her future career, we figured it was only right for the other siblings to get to do the same.

Lots of shows had an impact on how Rileigh thought teen life would be like when she was still a pre-tween, but apparently none were quite as impactful as iCarly, now that Rileigh is basically the podcast equivalent of Carly, right? A professional internet comedian as a teen with wacky older sibling(s)? That seems about right.

They were around back in Sydnee and Teylor's day, and they have persevered all the way into the modern era, complete with their own jukebox Broadway musical, it's Green Day! What is it about their music that's just so darn listenable, and also how about that musical though??

Sydnee has often had questionable tastes in movies *cough* Grease 2 *cough*, and this week's choice, according to the movie critics, is no different. "Now and Then," was not an extremely popular flick back in the day, and there's a lot to unpack to figure out why. Also, is it the spinoff to "It?" Maybe?

We're all in this one together, because we're traveling back to East High for the Spring Musical with all of the High School Musical gang! Rileigh was fully obsessed with this trio of films for years of her childhood, so it's another week of her forcing her siblings into watching/listening to all the things she could not stop talking about as a small teen.

Since it's that kind of year so far and we all needed a nice, relaxing break into the realm of Studio Ghibli, Teylor has brought us Howl's Moving Castle! A new movie for both Sydnee and Rileigh, we're going all in on Howl's fashion influence on Teylor and how good the FOOD in this movie looks. Also, go check out Teylor's cosplay and cocktails video, featuring a Howl look!

In a first in Still Buffering 2.0 history, we all read a whole book! With no pictures! Just words! Sydnee was very into this book from her teendom, so we all took the plunge into the world of Weetzie Bat this week. Also, we learn how to play "Boat."

Well, we've finally done it. We have all succumb to the dance-filled, confusing, wildly popular app of choice among quarantined Gen Z'ers: TikTok. Rileigh has long been under its spell, and now she has managed to pull both of her siblings in with her, and all she wants to know is what side of TikTok they're on and also how many dances they know.

Disclaimer: Yes, we know we had an audio goof this week and Sydnee and Rileigh sound different than they usually do. We're sorry if it affects your listening, and we promise it won't happen again! Rileigh was unaware of the magical, glorious, internet world of StrongBad until Candlenights this year, so Teylor knew it was their duty to rectify this travesty. Now that Rileigh is significantly more cultured, let's talk about it!

Sydnee finally discovered the key to ending the year-long Groundhog Day situation we've all been in: we all must finally watch Schitt's Creek. So, we all three have done our part, and this is us convincing you to do the same for like 45 minutes.
