Still Buffering

In the Smirl family, there are very few holiday traditions, but watching Christmas Vacation and knowing every single word is the most important of the ones we do have. But also, it's 2020, so we have too much time on our hands and it has us thinking (probably too hard) about all the deeper societal implications of the characters and their families so....let's get into THAT.

Sadly, there is no new installment of the Still Buffering classic Christmas tale, The Christmas Prince, this year. BUT! We have a twice as special episode this holiday season, because we're talking about not one, but TWO Princess Switch movies, starring not one, not two, but THREE characters played by Vanessa Hudgens. It's...a lot.

2020 hasn't gifted us much, but it did bring us a reboot of one of Teylor's favorite childhood cartoons: Animaniacs! We watched some old classics and some new hits, and we're ready to talk about those crazy, um...dogs? Cats? Mice?

Well, Sydnee finally realized what she has done in bringing Jewel to the discussion table this week. Upon Rileigh's first-ever listen and Teylor's first re-listen in forever, the siblings dive right into all the angsty, earnest lyrics we love from Jewel, as well as all the songs and hits that don't exactly stand the test of time. Also, bonus secret track?

The world's current favorite game featuring those lil' astronauts that murder each other while trying to do their lil' tasks has finally made it to our show! Rileigh has been obsessed with this game for months of quarantine now, so she's finally forcing her whole family to play with her.

It's apparently the unofficial Buffy appreciation week, at least, Stacey Abrams said so, so it must be true. This show has long been a favorite of all three Smirls, so come sing and obsess over the whole series with us!

2020 is the only year in which we could long to live in a fictional serial killer's universe, and here we are. The Scream movies taught us all the rules of scary movies and exactly how to break them, so it only fits to wrap up spooky season with this series. What's your favorite scary movie?

Well, the day has come. I guess we all knew we would end up here at some point, right? None of us thought it would happen in the first year, but I guess it was its time. We're diving head first into the world of sexy, sparkling, baseball playing vampires, and Teylor has never experienced any of it, until NOW.

It's time for some bloody, spooky, demonic, teen horror fun! Also lots of Adam Brody appreciation...apparently. CW: brief mention of sexual assault

It's the comfort food of movies, the lifetime movie with a little more death, it's Practical Magic this week on Still Buffering, now an okay milk podcast! Midnight margaritas, anyone?
