episode 375: Still Buffering: "David the Gnome"
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? Are they threatening us? WHAT DO THEY WANT?
episode 374: Still Buffering: "GUTS" - Olivia Rodrigo
As a 23 year old teenage girl, Rileigh is obviously the key demographic for Olivia Rodrigo's angry-pop-rock-girl music, and we can't wait to dive right into her newest album.
episode 373: Still Buffering: "Casablanca" (1942)
Though admittedly this movie was far from any of our childhoods, it's become part of a meaningful holiday tradition for Teylor, so it merits a whole episode!
episode 372: Still Buffering: "Snow Angel" - Renee Rapp
Not only does Rileigh get to share one of her favorite twenty-something teenage girl artists with her siblings this week, but she gets to teach them ALL about the absolute biggest deal in American high school theatre: the JIMMY'S.
episode 371: Still Buffering: Jimmy Buffett
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.
episode 370: Still Buffering: "Princess Mononoke" (1997)
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.
episode 369: Still Buffering: Mario
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.
episode 368: Still Buffering: "Stick Season" - Noah Kahan
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.
episode 367: Still Buffering: "Lost in Space" - Aimee Mann
Continuing our decision to not discuss any media that is subject to the ongoing strikes, we've been talking about a lot of music recently, and now it's Teylor's turn!
episode 366: Still Buffering: "Fight Club" (1999)
It seems counter-intuitive that we're talking about Fight Club, since, well of course the first rule of Fight Club and all and...well...maybe we shouldn't? Is this breaking the rules?
