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!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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

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

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

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This week, Teylor brought his sisters an album that is just perfect for a cold weekend in December, and we hope you think so too!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, the day his finally arrived. We've all hinted at our never-ending and undying love for a certain hunky cartoon fox before, but now we're finally dedicating an entire episode to him. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. This time, it's finally time to listen to Rileigh's FAVORITE album and all the tea that comes along with it. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We present to you a belated celebration of spooky season to dive into one of the most underrated spooky season films of the last generation!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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

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!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. From teen angst to both her saddest and most scathing songs, Speak Now really has it all, and now we get to listen to Taylor's Version!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, it's all Sydnee can talk about these days, and it's a cartoon/movie/musical/entire universe that has spanned all the generations on this podcast, so let's dive in to Spongebob! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

To celebrate the upcoming live action Barbie movie that is sure to break the internet and make an appearance on this podcast, we're taking a look back at the Barbie movie musical that started it all, which is also Rileigh's personal favorite. It also just happens to feature one of the most unironically funny moments in film history and some straight up BOPS on the soundtrack.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

CW: This episode contains a brief mention/discussion of suicide/mental illnessLike all great things from the 90s and 2000s, Paramore is having a resurgence! It's time to deep dive back in time with the band that brought us so many hits, and for Teylor, some really meaningful memories.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Things have been pretty hectic over here in the still buff fam but we're finally back on schedule with a look back at one of Syd's all-time favorite shows, Scrubs! Also, a shockingly in depth discussion of actual, real, physical scrubs, for some reason.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

If there's one thing in life that's certain, it's that you can always count on a new Scream movie being released at any given time, and it's always going to feel just as familiar and meta as the one before. This time in Scream/Stab world, it's a franchise, so no rules!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Syd always has some questionable pics for her summer playlist, but Tey is helping her out this week by providing us with some great 90s/2000s hits from Letters to Cleo that actually ARE suitable for a summer playlist.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Did you ever appear on the 90s dating show, Singled Out? Did you actually fall in love? Were those dates even real? We need to know everything, because this show leaves SO many questions to be answered for the modern viewer.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We thought it was the Millennial/Gen Z equivalent of Friends, but the more we think about it this show is WAY better. It's the show that brought us bird shirts and True American, it's New Girl!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's a classic tragic-comedy (which we didn't know was a thing until just now) that we all know and love, especially since it reminds us so much of a little McElroy we all love. Come talk about beauty pageants and metaphors with us!(TW: this movie has themes of suicide and death, which we discuss)Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The siblings think they've finally cracked the reason why Sydnee always had such a love for Full House...and it's because her secret life goal is to recreate it with her entire family. Also why did Danny Tanner hate Kimmy Gibler SO much??Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

HAPPY END OF MAXFUNDRIVE! We love and appreciate all of you so much, and to show our love and appreciation we've brought one more guest on to the show this week and are talking about one of our shared favorite shows ever: Bluey! And don't worry, Cooper has plenty of thoughts about it.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

HAPPY MAXFUN DRIVE! It seems as if a trading of the youngest member of the podcast has taken place this week, as Rileigh has been replaced with Charlie! Who, let's be honest, is basically just Rileigh if she were still 8. Charlie made us all watch one of her favorite YouTubers this week and...let's just say it's a good thing we switched the direction of our show when we did.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's here, we've found the worst dating show/reality show of all time: Perfect Match. It's absolutely jam packed full of our favorite Netflix stars(I guess?) and stacked to the brim with bad editing and Nick Lacheys. Come join us!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

An all punk cover band that does covers of musical theatre songs?? How have we never talked about this before?? It's quite literally all of our most important musical interests combined into one cohesive art form.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's truly astonishing that it's taken us 3 years of talking about media that made us to finally have Sydnee bring up That Thing You Do, but here we are at last. It's basically the Tom Hanks of films, if Tom Hanks himself starred in a Tom Hanks directed movie that was a film embodiment of Tom Hanks. If that makes sense. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rilo's brought us some more hip new Gen Z tunes but the only thing we seem to be able to talk about is how the heck do we say McAlpine and have we all been saying McElroy wrong this whole time???Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

There have been many Batmans (Batmen, Batmi??) but to Teylor, there's one true Batman and one true Joker iteration that they love most, and it's this one, so let's talk about it!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Okay yes it's not technically media BUT it at one time was full of pop culture references that were important to all of us, and also blue ice cream, it's King's Island!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, it took us three whole tries to get this episode finished and out to you all, but it's worth it to get to talk about Miley and all her eras for an hour. And also to expose all the lies Rileigh's family told her as a child about their "celebrity encounters."Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's always special when we can take a week to watch something or listen to something that was exceptionally meaningful to one of our siblings, and that was definitely what we got to do this week, so come join in on some of the special moments shared during this show about a very special band.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sydnee had an interesting choice of movie for her first ever date (and our dad was there too) so of course we all had to take a look back at it together. Like all 90s movies it has some...interesting takes, but if you like doggies and baseball apparently this is the film for you.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This show blew up and broke the internet for a couple of weeks, so of course we had to revisit the world's favorite ooky and spooky family and take a week to talk all about Wednesday! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

To round out the year of 2022 and the holiday season, it's time for that classic holiday (?) film featuring all the holiday (?) goo you could ask for, it's Gremlins!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's time to dive into another holiday classic that somehow we have never talked about before: Home Alone! Also, since the holidays are the time of year to share your most controversial opinions with family, we all decided that meant it was time to share our controversial Home Alone opinions with each other, obviously.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the most wonderful time of the year once again: the one where our screens and streaming services are jam-packed with holiday movies full of the cliches we know and love so well. Without a Vanessa Hudgens holiday movie with several versions of Vanessa Hudgens to watch this season, our siblings had to turn to the next best option on Netflix: one with Lindsay Lohan and that guy from Glee!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

How did Sydnee and Rileigh not know that their middle sibling was friends with a super cool and famous band and hosted shows for them in their living room back in the day?? They don't know how they missed this band, but they sure are glad to be talking about them now just in time for their most recent album!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Apparently Rileigh was only aware of silly goofy movie dad Adam Sandler, while our older Smirl siblings were fully aware of young, romantic lead, SNL Adam Sandler, so of course they had to expose Rileigh to him walking down an airplane aisle singing because...who wouldn't want that???Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Once again, it's that magical time of year where our littlest sibling gets to force her big sibs to listen to an entire Taylor Swift album and then listen to her talk about it for 45 minutes. And of course that means we have to talk about that TOUR.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rounding out our month of spook is a horror cult classic brought to us by our resident spooky movie sibling expert: Teylor! Tey's sisters had never heard of this one before, so it was up to them to introduce them to this Frankenstein-ish world of early 2000s good for her body horror. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's still spooky season, so we're still deep in the spooky movie genre! This week, we're sticking with Sarah Michelle Gellar and looking back at that classic teen slasher complete with hooks and haircuts and Janny Jaleckies!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

While not technically a spooky movie, Do Revenge is Rileigh's newest obsession, and it's the classic teen girl, rom-com, mashup of the century. Also, teenagers are scary enough, so I think that counts as a spooky season movie.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's spooky season! In celebration of this wonderful time of year, we at Still Buffering always take a couple weeks to celebrate the spooky and scary media that make this season even better. To start, we're looking back at the original Hunger Games, Battle Royale!CW: This movie contains violence and suicide, and we discuss the contents of the movie in some detail. For an exhaustive list of possible sensitive topics in this film, look at the CW for "Battle Royale" (2000). Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We know our oldest Smirl sibling has a thing for sequels, but this time Sydnee is having us jump right into number 2 in the Sister Act series. From the fashion trends to the relatability for every show choir/theatre kid, it just made sense for the siblings to get Back in the Habit and dive into Sister Act 2!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

If you know us, you know how much we love messy reality shows on Netflix, and especially when they include dating or sibling teamwork. So, when we saw Netflix had made a show that FINALLY combines both, well, we had to watch it and talk about it.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It seems like culturally we're all once again looking at Brendan Frasier, so why not take it back to one of his older movies that maybe didn't get all the same hype as the Mummy: Airheads! Also, Steve Buscemi is up in there too so we kinda HAD to.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Since we decided last week it's basically already fall, it's time to set the cozy mood with some music, and who better to help out than Carole King? Although, we did discover this week Sydnee has some weird personal affiliations with these songs...but they're still amazing, obviously.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We've talked about Scream before, but one of our favorite horror franchises just keeps coming back for more, so obviously we had to talk about the newest one! Featuring radicalized Gen Z horror fanatics, old favorite characters, and a weird ghost/computer generated Billy Loomis, this Scream iteration truly has it all. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's time to go deep into the world of female friendship, living in New York City, and (once again) how unrealistic those apartments in Friends were, because we're talking all about Broad City!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the sports movie that makes everyone (well, really mostly Sydnee, if we're being honest) cry every single time without fail, and just in time, because it's getting the reboot treatment this year, as well! It's A League of Their Own!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the newest streaming hit that is spilling all the tea on how Gen Z actually is using social media, what influencer parties are like, and why guinea pigs sometimes cause social media mayhem, and we're all obsessed with it, so let's talk about it!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We love talking about music and all our favorite artists on our show, and sometimes it's because their work means a whole lot more to us than we even realize, and that's true for Tey this week as we dive into the discography of Elliot Smith.CW: mention of suicide, brief discussion of depression/mental illnessMusic: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Oh, this episode? It's Wayne's World. Wayne's World. It's party time, while also being excellent. Get ready for an extreme close-up on this classic!

This week we're discussing singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers and the impact her music has had on Rileigh.Music: “Baby You Change Your Mind” by Nouvellas

This week we're exploring the work of Don Hertzfeldt, a wildly influential animator and two-time Oscar nominee. Music: “Baby You Change Your Mind” by Nouvellas

It's time for another one of those somewhat spooky, kinda gross, pretty funny, and surprisingly meaningful movies from the 90s that all the Smirl siblings were introduced to at maybe too young of an age, it's Death Becomes Her!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It was a weird reality/fiction/murder mystery/game show that only aired for one season on ABC when Rileigh was 12, but that doesn't mean she wasn't (and frankly still is) obsessed with it; it's Whodunnit! There's just...a LOT to unpack here, so let's get into it.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's still Pride Month, but this time it's Pride: Secret Contraband Music Edition instead of Pride: Pirate Edition! So, of course, we're listening to the quintessential secret message music of Teylor's youth: Ani DiFranco.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate this joyous time of year, we're diving into the pirate-filled adventure that is Our Flag Means Death, because it's gay pirates! How could we not?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, if Rileigh doesn't have a new Taylor Swift album to make her siblings listen to, she's gonna find the next closest thing, which is of course, a new Harry Styles album! From sad jams to no thoughts just vibes tunes, this album has lots to discuss, so let's dive in, shall we?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's yet another super influential media moment from the younger years of the older Smirl siblings that's been rebooted for the modern age: it's Chip and Dale! Sydnee and Teylor both had STRONG feelings about this one back in the day (most specifically about Gadget) so of course we had to revisit the reboot.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It was the multiplayer video game experience that defined the younger years of the older Smirl siblings, complete with such classic bits as DK mode and slappers only: it's Goldeneye! (Those GRAPHICS though...)CW: This video game is a first person shooter game, meaning there is brief mention of video game violence/guns.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh felt a need to introduce her siblings to a movie she watched incessantly with friends in high school, neglecting to remember just how ridiculously sad it is, so she's sorry about that. Also, discussion on weird British party games takes up a good amount of this episode, so buckle in.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We've done it, we've found and discovered and dissected the meaning of the 80s cartoon movie: "The Last Unicorn." It's not all rainbows and unicorns, but it IS full of mystical scenes and musical numbers.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Even though Sydnee brought this one to the table, it's a movie that the Smirl siblings have long associated with their mom, and there are a lot of reasons why. So, to celebrate only one week until Mother's Day AND MaxFunDrive, let's talk about Cher!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's that time of year for summer theatre again for Rileigh, so why not take some time to talk about this year's musical? We're going into the woods and out of the woods and all over the woods for a deeper look at this Sondheim classic, join us, won't you?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Teylor is always introducing their sisters to cool, meaningful, and just overall really good stuff from their life, and this week is certainly no different. This album was new to Sydnee and Rileigh, while packing a whole lot of meaning for our middle sibling, so come check it out with us!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's honestly remarkable that we haven't talked about Kevin Smith movies yet, so we had to start with Sydnee's all-time favorite out of them all. Plus, little kid fight club.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

She was making some of the world's most popular pop music of the early 2010s, when Rileigh was probably too young to be listening to some of it, but that didn't stop her from becoming one of her biggest fans; it's Katy Perry! She had some huge pop hits, and some big spinning peppermints on her bras, she was everything Rileigh wanted to be, obviously. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As usual, Teylor has introduced their siblings to a really great anime they had never heard of before, and this time it's a spoooky one! Well, more so unsettling and thrilling than spook, but great nonetheless. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh legitimately had no clue that Gwen Stefani was in a band before she went solo...like really no idea. So obviously her siblings had to rectify this massive gap in her late 90s and early 2000s education.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know that Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt are eternally quirky-cute and boyish-cute, respectively, so we simply must take a look back at one of Rileigh's first favorite non-love story love stories. Because who DOESN'T love The Smiths and want to fall in love with a random guy from your greeting card company?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, we did it, we FINALLY said a bad word on this show. Actually a lot of times, because we're talking about Jackass! It's time to dive in and answer all the important questions, like would you rather have to drink something gross or get launched into a lake?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's about time we dove into the classic "giant party at the end of senior year" movie genre, and what better starting point than Can't Hardly Wait? It's even got all the teen stereotypes that really aren't all that accurate, including our favorite, Cynical Velma.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Disney Channel original movie musicals defined Rileigh's childhood, and almost none more so than Camp Rock. Starring the Jonas Brothers, of course, and Demi Lovato, this movie was the pinnacle of youth for a young Rilo who wanted to attend the real Camp Rock more than anything.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

So many of the things that Sydnee and Teylor loved most in the past have made resurgences among the cool new teen generations, and My Chemical Romance is one of the biggest! Also, they did MCR song on Glee?? How was Rileigh unaware of this???Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas 

Well, we unexpectedly had to take a whole week off and all we have to offer you upon our return is an episode about quite possibly one of the saddest movies of all time. Everyone say, "Thank you Sydnee" for making us all have to relive the most tragic movie scene involving bees.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It was the musical, colorful sensation of the mid-2010s, and it's one of our littlest sib's favorite movies of all time: it's La La Land! Time to go full jazz talk, eventually some Taylor Swift talk because when do we not, and definitely Ryan Gosling piano talk.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's our first anime of the year, complete with flesh blobs and motorcycle superpowers! It's Akira! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

To round out this year of Still Buffering, our siblings have brought you a whole episode dedicated to an artist that we all really didn't know Sydnee loved that much: Kelly Clarkson! She's maybe the only person that could make a half breakup/half Christmas album that works, and we need to discuss it.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well...tis the season to be jolly and also to watch some extremely questionable Netflix original Christmas movies. It's become a tradition here on Still Buffering to spend some time each holiday season with Netflix's newest offerings, and this year we've been gifted with The Princess Switch 3: They Switched Again starring Vanessa Hudgens, Vanessa Hudgens, and Vanessa Hudgens.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It is the holiday season, so we're taking a stop to check in with one of those classic Christmas movies we all love to enjoy with the family around a nice holiday fire: Batman Returns! There's so much to unpack here and it is DEFINITELY a Christmas movie, so we're just in time. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's been one of Sydnee's biggest dreams for most of her life, and now we're realizing it's also a little queer we think: it's Supermarket Sweep! Sydnee has always dreamt of how she'd sweep, so it's finally time to discover why this show has meant so much to her and why we all can't stop watching it. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's finally here, the day Rileigh has been not so patiently waiting for for the past three weeks: the day she forces her siblings to spend an hour talking about RED with her. It's been one of the biggest album debuts of all time, and Taylor Swift (and Jake Gyllenhaal) have been all over the news and social medias recently, so let's get into it!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, it's a classic movie from Teylor's youth that is worthy of discussion, but that doesn't mean Rileigh is happy about its leading man. It's that time of year where we all join together to sing badly about Jake Gyllenhaal, but I guess for this week we'll talk about a good movie of his.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Boy bands were all the rage back in the 90s, mostly the classics like NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, but Sydnee somehow had a boy band obsession from before she was probably even old enough to be listening to music: the New Kids on the Block. Syd loved everything from their fashion and personalities, to of course, their catchy hooks and beats, so let's dive in!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This movie defined an entire generation of young theatre tweens, including our very own Rileigh. A literal cup had such a grasp on Rilo and all of her friends that it was her only personality trait for a solid half decade, so we have to see what it's all about. Also acapella. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Once again, we're taking a journey back to the era of "angry girl" rock, where the songs were great and the outfits were just so, so 90s. Come join us!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rounding out our spooky season spectacular here on Still Buff is a classic from Sydnee and Teylor's youth that has crossed over into the new generation of Netflix reboots: it's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" We have lots of thoughts on the various spooky stories and also the tiny leather bag of coffee creamer (?) so let's get into it before spooky season ends!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

To continue our spooky season series, we're diving back into a Halloween classic, "Hocus Pocus!" Even though it came out a whole 7 years before Rileigh was ever born, it was still just as important in her youth as it was for her sibs, so let's get spooky and get into it.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

CW: This movie series is about, well, death. So if discussions of death and dying aren't comfortable or safe for you and your mental health, we suggest taking a week off and joining us again next week.These movies became classic horror films that continued to manufacture some of the wildest graphics and death scenes, and almost all of them have some weird sentient water probably dripping on an outlet. It's Final Destination!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's a classic show older than our youngest Smirl sibling with a classic Halloween special that's been around just as long. It's the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror! Treehouses of horrors? Treehouse of horrorses? We aren't really clear on that part, but let's dive into the spooks to kick off the Spooky Season!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know by now about the special place l Elle Woods holds in Rileigh's heart, but do we all also know about the less-than-great sequel to the classic Elle Woods story? We kinda forgot it existed, and apparently for good reason.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Teylor has brought our siblings another important anime from their youth that isn't necessarily able to be comprehended easily, BUT it's entertaining and exciting and full of robots all the same.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sydnee has long had a love for a poet with some interesting styles and interesting illustrations that she now has passed on to her weird kids; it's Shel Silverstein! Yeah he also did those popular kids' books like "The Giving Tree," but we want to talk about our favorites like "A Light in the Attic" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends."Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh just had a big birthday (21!) so we're diving into her all-time favorite movie that also is kinda based around a birthday: Tangled! Apparently our siblings have some strong opinions about this one and similar Disney movies, so let's get started!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

No, not the Edgar Allen kind, but the cool 90s music kind! It's Poe! Teylor and Sydnee shared a love for Poe's music, and Rileigh had never heard of her, but of course she found a way to equate her to Taylor Swift...so...let's go! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

No one can quite figure out why Sydnee is so drawn to this movie that is...far darker than any of us remembered, but we're pretty sure it has to do with the bangs and the fashion. Which, I gotta say are pretty good, honestly.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Aaand we're back! It's full of puzzles and mysteries and sibling love, so it's perfect for our show, it's Gravity Falls! Apparently for Rileigh to be a big fan of something, it has to have interactive puzzles and riddles, so this show is perfect.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It was the first graphic novel series that Teylor ever introduced to a very small Rileigh back in the day, and now it's a whole movie that we're giving a whole episode to! People turn into coins and there are pee meters, what more could we need?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well...it's finally here. The day Sydnee has deviously been planning for years now, the day she makes her siblings watch Grease 2 and discuss it with her for an hour. We all know it's bad, but is it maybe so bad it comes back around to good again?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As Rileigh describes him, a "cultural moment for the youths," and as Sydnee describes him (I guess), "her scruffy buddy," it's Harry! Not the Prince one the one from that boy band and with all the boas.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the jukebox musical with 100% more tuberculosis than any other, it has some of the best mashups and covers of all time, and we all can't stop watching it...it's Moulin Rouge!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's possibly the film that radicalized an entire generation to start guilting their parents into cutting those plastic soda rings and recycling, until it was overshadowed by a certain mouse with a big blue genie, it's FernGully!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Yes, we've already done iCarly, but now she's all grown up and so is Rileigh! Over a decade later, Carly made a return to the internet and now she's allowed to say bad words, so we're revisiting the internet's original web show once again, but with 100% more bad words because, hey, Rileigh's older now too.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy Pride! We love to see diversity and representation in our media, and Teylor delivered this week with one of their long-time favorite anime. Also there are cars that are people and also symbols?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's everyone's favorite demon to love to hate, the inspiration for one of the coolest and spookiest musicals in recent history, and a real creepy old guy, it's Beetlejuice! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's all the teens are listening to right now, and also all the millennials and 20-somethings and adults are listening to right now, apparently. Olivia Rodrigo got her heart broken so she broke the internet and the world with a near perfect debut album, and we are HERE FOR IT.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We will admit, the description of the movie's plot doesn't make it seem like the most fun watch, but we promise it's worth it. Teylor introduced us all this week to a 90s cult classic, and as three queer people, we had to get up in there. Come join us at New Directions! Or is it True Directions? Which one's from Glee?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know Sydnee was a pretty big nerd back in the day (and still now, if we're being honest) but there is maybe no better example of her nerdy nature in her youth than her love for educational video games. None of us are great at geography, but we all still think that Carmen Sandiego game show sounds real fun, don't you?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's everyone's favorite time of year: MaxFunDrive AND Circle season! Our ultimate favorite reality show on Netflix all about social media and catfish and...jokers? That twist didn't really make sense, we'll admit. Also did this episode turn into a musical episode? We aren't sure, you'll have to listen and tell us.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the mooost wonderful time of the year, it's MaxFunDrive! To kick off this momentous occasion, we're exploring Teylor's secret musical obsession from their teendom: Tegan and Sarah! Also, someone make Rileigh stop with her MaxFunDrive theme song...please.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It brought a young Sydnee and Justin together all those years ago, and now it's bringing us all together this week, it's Space Ghost! It's perhaps the original and in the top-tier of cartoons for grown ups, so that's, like, perfect for us.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Welcome back to your favorite Taylor Swift fancast in which Rileigh forces her siblings to listen to yet another Taylor Swift album, slowly pushing them into the unstoppable force that is the Swiftie fandom. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

What really is "punk?" What's the deal with posers? What CAN'T Matthew Lillard do? Why does Rileigh swallow so much gum? All this and more this week on Still Buffering!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It was Sydnee's favorite tiny newspaper cartoon, so now we're all taking a journey back in time to revisit our old friends: Calvin and Hobbes. Why does this cartoon mean so much to Syd? Why was it so good? Why does Sydnee's three year old think she's a guinea pig? Let's find out!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the film that inspired a whole generation of girls to go to law school (Rileigh included), and we canNOT believe we haven't talked about it already. It's Legally Blonde! There's a whole musical, a whole sequel, and a whole three-quel that we are definitely not going to talk about, so let's get into it. What, like it's hard?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In this multi-media special episode, we're going back to the original Tank Girl, in both comic and movie forms! Tank Girl always meant a lot to Teylor, so now we all want to see what all the hype is about.*This episode was recorded before Cinnamon Toast Crunch shrimp guy was revealed to be a milkshake duck, but that big boat is still stuck that has not changed. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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??Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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." Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This is truly the greatest gift Rileigh could have received in 2020: the chance to force her siblings to listen to not one, but two whole Taylor Swift albums and then talk about them with her. Also, Sydnee and Teylor were completely unaware of all the theories and canon surrounding Taylor and her music, so we HAD to get all up in that too.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In a twist of Still Buffering tradition to deeply discuss one piece of media, we've watched all four iterations of the story of The Grinch, and we're making them battle it out to see which one is truly superior. One thing we know for sure, though, is the musical one with Matthew Morrison is DEFINITELY in last place. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

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. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's time for some bloody, spooky, demonic, teen horror fun! Also lots of Adam Brody appreciation...apparently.CW: brief mention of sexual assaultMusic: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas 

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? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

THIS IS HALLOWEEN THIS IS HALLOWEEN and for the next few weeks THIS IS A HALLOWEEN PODCASTMusic: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This is NOT a good fish, bug, or cereal podcast. If you are looking for podcasts on those subjects, you will be sorely disappointed by this podcast. However, this is a great podcast about young adult media throughout the ages, so we can do that for you?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Beverly Hills, what a thrill! It's time for Sydnee to take us back to one of her...more unique teenage obsessions that she maybe just loved because the dad wore his pants too high like our dad did?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Even though it's a very early 2000s classic, Rileigh has always loved the fetch-est teen movie of all time: Mean Girls! Get in losers, we're going podcasting!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As our first journey into the world of manga here on Still Buffering, Teylor is introducing us to one of their favorite stories from their college years: The Bug Boy! Also, we're introducing yet another iteration of our show, "To Bils and Uh Tedd!" Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As a first in Still Buffering history, both Rileigh and Sydnee are sharing their excitement over a show they both loved that Teylor has never seen: Veronica Mars! She's everyone's favorite angsty teen private investigator, and her show has spanned all of our generations...but can we talk about the ending of that reboot though?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The only thing keeping Rileigh's brain at peace these past few weeks of quarantine has been the surprise Taylor Swift Album: "folklore." So of COURSE she's going to force her sisters to listen to it with her.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Before there were teen heartthrobs and boy bands and scrunchies...there were our favorite cartoons! One of Teylor's has always been the story of that lil toaster that could, but it's actually a little bit darker than any of us remembered.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know and love the classic Babysitter's Club stories from many decades ago, but what if they were even better, cooler, smarter, and way more diverse and inclusive? Netflix answered that question, and we want to talk about it!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

When a young Rileigh was in middle school, all she wanted was to be in a show choir like the one full of thirty-year-olds on her favorite show: Glee. Let's revisit McKinley High and see what kinds of issues there were beneath all the musical numbers.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas 

The band we all know and love for its nerd rock aesthetic and its hits like "Buddy Holly" and "Say it Ain't So" was a crucial moment in music media for both Sydnee AND Teylor, so it seems about time to indoctrinate Rileigh into the fanbase, right?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

HAPPY MAXFUNDRIVE! To kick off this most wonderful and momentous time of year, we're diving into the wonderfully innocent world of Archie comics. They were Sydnee's favorite for forever, and now they've been mutated into Riverdale...what's going on with all that?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

One of Rileigh's first favorite cartoons of her adolescence was all about a post-apocalyptic world full of princesses, stretchy dogs, and penguins...lots of penguins. So let's dive in! It's Adventure Time!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

What would your hands be made out of if they were made to help with your biggest hobby? Paintbrush hands like Teylor? Phone hands like Rilo? Or Podcast hands (?) like Sydnee? Either way, they're talking about the guy with the hands made of scissors this week...and you will NEVER believe who almost played that role.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy Pride! To celebrate, we're venturing a little off the usual path here at Still Buff to look at all the fictional characters throughout our young lives that showed us how to understand our own identities...or that we just thought were really pretty.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sydnee finally convinced her siblings to watch one of her all time favorite teen dramas: Dawson's Creek. We're headed to Capeside this week to explore this ridiculously dramatic town full of teens with unusually large vocabularies...because we don't wanna wait, for our lives to be over.... Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

(A feed drop of our fellow MaxFun show: FANTI)This week, Tre’vell and Jarrett move slightly away from format to discuss the recent events surrounding a Minneapolis, Minnesota man killed while in police custody and the civil unrest as a result of the department’s handling of the case. Plus, special guest Dr. Joy DeGruy joins the show!(Note: This episode of FANTI contains explicit language.)

Some tweens were Harry Potter kids, some were Twilight kids, but Rileigh was always a Hunger Games kid, through and through. So, of course she has to make both of her sisters revisit her favorite series and all about what makes it so great. Also, parallel universes?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know and love that smart, sarcastic, brunette girl from our favorite early 2000s cartoon, so let's talk about her and all her friends, and maybe some of the important lessons we all learned from some of her flaws. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We've finally reached Sydnee's favorite movie/book/thing of literally all time, so what else is there to say? Let's get to it, shall we?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh has always been a sucker for some good satirical, musical comedy, so of course she wants to introduce her sisters to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! It's got the best songs, the funniest scenes, and some of the most complex characters on television. Thanks Rachel Bloom!Also, SPOILERS, duhMusic: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Fiona Apple was a favorite artist of both Sydnee and Teylor back in the day, despite her "angsty piano playing," as some have described it. To make her music even more perfect for this podcast, she's come back just this year with a new album! An artist who spans generations for a podcast that spans generations, perfect!!TW: Brief mention of experience with sexual assaultMusic: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sydnee has always loved this movie, and to be fair, Teylor and Rileigh like it too. But Sydnee couldn't figure out why it got so much hate and bad reviews when it came out nearly two decades ago. Now, after watching the trailer together and voicing the plot out loud over the course of this episode...maybe we see why.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We played the animal game. What else do you need to know to listen? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

A classic, creepy cartoon straight from the early 2000s has a place in the hearts of all three Smirls, but Teylor especially. Who doesn't love talking about Zims and GIRs and Dibs, oh my!Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all know that old, boring, Shakespeare stuff. This week, we're going full cool teen Shakespeare, complete with the best costumes to ever exist and possibly the best soundtrack of all time as well. Oh and just everyone is so attractive.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh has been one of Taylor Swift's biggest fans since her first album came out when Rilo was but a babe in elementary school. Now, there's a documentary all about her career and her music, so of course Rileigh is going to force both of her siblings to watch it. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Teylor has brought forth some music this week that challenges the other two-thirds of the trio to explore a genre they may not have otherwise revisited, or explored for the first time. Also, we all need some distraction in these times, so come have an hour of non-pandemic fun with us, okay?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

So no one told you Friends was going to be popular a whole 26 years since its first airing...and no one expected it either. This week, we're diving into the ever-popular sitcom and digging out the good, the bad, and the ugly (because there is lots of it honestly), but really we just wanna know why do teens dig this show so much? Cough, Rileigh, cough....Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh has yet to expose our trio to a teen rom-com movie of this generation, so she's starting with one of her favorite books and movies: "To All The Boys I've Loved Before!" Maybe Jordan Fisher is the reason she REALLY loves the second one....but I guess we'll never know.Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This week, we're discussing a cartoon that ALL of the Smirl siblings were exposed to at some point in their childhood: Hey Arnold! It meant a lot to Tey because pigeons and birbs and all this things.

In our first anime/cartoon episode of this new show, we're diving fully into Teylor's first favorite: Sailor Moon!

Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's time for our first musical of this year, courtesy of our oldest Smirl, Rent! The magic of Rent has spanned decades, and it taught all of us some really important lessons, and also taught us all some really great songs. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Also, have you been wondering what will happen to our show when Rileigh turns 20? So have we, so listen to the very end to get the answer! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally our sisters will all three watch something that they all just love and relate to, and Booksmart is one of those movies! It may be a movie about teens of 2019, but all three sisters found some of themselves in it, and they want to talk about it! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the new Vine, the newest trend sweeping the globe and taking over the minds of the newest generation: TikTok. Rileigh has become obsessed with the app, and she wants to share the newest craze with her older sisters, so come learn with them! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

CW: mental illness, self harm, suicide This is a serious episode, if any talks of mental illness will be hard to listen to or upsetting for your own mental health, maybe take a break from our show this week. In honor of the recent World Mental Health Day, the sisters are opening up about their own struggles with mental illness, in hopes of continuing this important conversation and maybe helping someone else along the way. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh used to be a BIG fan of sweepstakes contests growing up like that Danimals one where you could meet Zack and Cody, you know? So the sisters are all reminiscing on those too good to be true contests they never won, and maybe actually did sometimes? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The older sisters realized that life got a lot more convenient for teens in Rileigh's generation with things like food delivery and ride service apps and online clothing website, so we want to figure out if they really make teens' lives easier or if they're maybe making them harder?

Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

There was a chill in the air this week (even if it only lasted for about 6 hours), and to celebrate all three of the sisters saw a new scary movie based on some old classics, "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark." From jangling men to hug monsters, these stories are from the Sydnee/Teylor era being retold in the Rileigh era, and we want to dissect them ALL. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Our babiest Smirl is about to embark on her sophomore year of college, and the sisters have realized they haven't talked fashion in over three years. So they're taking a dive into the most popular fashions of this 2019 school year to see where these fashion trends came from and if the teens are going even further back in time with their fashion? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This week, the sisters made a special crossover episode with Neat! The Boozecast while on Island Time straight from a sports themed bedroom with only three microphones and no mic stands, and boy is it something special. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

So, Sydnee gets a monthly box full of Nickelodeon merch from all the old, classic cartoons, and we figured that's something we can talk about, right? This is something, right? At least, that's what we asked ourselves as we sat down to record, and we hope you agree with this decision. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's America's (belated) birthday! To celebrate, we're talking about all of the pretty dumb things we do with fireworks and fire crackers and just fire in general as teens and beyond, come celebrate a little late with us, won't you? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, now our babiest Smirl has had the experience of living with roommates for a full year, and she's about to do it all again next year, so does she have any new thoughts to share now that she's an experienced roommate? Does she have anything to keep in mind before next year? How long is too long for towel time? Come find out with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all did it as angsty emotional teens, didn't we? Filled notebooks and notes apps with long, dramatic, heartbreak poems? Or was that just Sydnee and Rileigh? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Okay, we have some serious opinions about commercials of the 90s, but who doesn't? They were all kinda the same, we all still remember ALL of them, and most importantly, we can't figure out what happened to them? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We realized in the entire 3+ years of this show that we had NEVER dedicated an entire episode to the entity that is ~the internet~. So we're going deep to examine all those differences between the world pre and post internet, and why did we all take the same typing courses?? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh's enjoying a beach vacation, so Sydnee and Teylor capitalize on the opportunity to reflect on all the great stuff about being an adult. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Upon a recent trip with Rileigh to the mall, Sydnee made a shocking discovery: teens don't wear tons of jewelry anymore??? What ever happened to the giant earring books and hemp chokers and toe rings?? We must investigate. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all made them as teens, you know, those homemade movies and videos that are horribly put together and have little to no actual plot but that we LOVED to make? The only difference now is that teens are putting all of them on the internet...which actually is a pretty big difference now that we think about it. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's almost summertime, which means the teens will be home all day every day and looking for something to do. So what are some fun activities for the modern teen who's bored? The older sisters had some methods of their own for killing time, and they're...interesting. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's finals season for Rileigh, and it seems like sleep is one key part of life that she isn't doing too great on. Not to mention curfews, party times, and how late we get to sleep in, the sisters all have some sleep habits they probably could do better on, so let's try to get some rest, shall we? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's been a bit of a rough week for all of us, hasn't it? We started it all off with Tax Day, and we should have known then it'd be a little bit of a bad one. So to celebrate(?) the holiday that is tax season, we're talking about money! What do you do with it once you get it as a teen for the first time? What are taxes? Is credit a thing? Is debt good? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, our sisters have returned on no day other than National Sibling Day! To celebrate, we're talking about the hippest of controversies happening with teens today: Operation Blue Ivy...or Blue Varsity? Varsity Ivy??? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

IT'S STILL THE MAXFUNDRIVE! To wrap-up and continue to celebrate this joyous season, we're continuing a tradition we started last year during the MaxFunDrive. Last year, Rileigh quizzed her sisters on how much teen knowledge they had gained from her throughout the years, and this year the older sisters are doing the same. Does Rileigh know anything about 90s teens? Or anything about the 90s at all? (Also, there may be a secret in this episode somewhere...) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

IT'S THE MAXFUNDRIVE! To celebrate this most wonderful time of year, we brought on our favorite teen of the future, Charlie Gail McElroy! We wanted to find out what the teens of tomorrow are going to be listening to, watching, and doing, so we went straight to the source. Come join all four of us, and don't forget to become a member of the MaxFun family this MaxFunDrive! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're back with part 2 of our Women's History Month extravaganza! This week, we're discussing some of our fictional female role models, and how female representation for teens in media has changed over time. From Buffy to Hermione and even some princesses, we've got it all, so come celebrate some super cool fictional females with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's Women's History Month! To celebrate this month of celebration, we're all sharing our most inspiring and influential female role models throughout our teen years and beyond. They made us who we are today, and we want to celebrate them! So come share some of your favorite female icons with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It only took us a year, but we're back with another "Ask a Teen!" We've collected all of your questions like "a squirrel with nuts" as Sydnee would say, and are ready to answer all of them. We go from how to make excuses to get out of plans, to toxic friends, to technology, and we want you there for all of it! Come join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We've talked a lot before about the growing "woke-ness" of this generation, but we haven't spent much time discussing how it is helping our planet. Back in the day, teens knew to recycle and cut those plastic rings, but what else have teens learned throughout the years? Are we really helping? Are ducks okay??? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The older sisters realized that back in the day there would be widespread cultural moments that thousands of teens everywhere shared, whether it was as a TV series finale or a new album release, there were things to share with people you'd never meet. Do those even still exist for the teens of today? Does live tweeting count? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As we all continue on our path to a tidy living space, we've realized that as teens we can tend to keep a lot of "sentimental" things that we really probably shouldn't, or maybe even throw out things that we wish we hadn't. So let's talk about what we really really should keep and what could maybe be tossed, like every movie ticket you've ever received *cough Rileigh cough*. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

All we can talk about this week is the disaster that was the Fyre Festival, so we wanted to find a way we could talk about it on our podcast, and we did! Influencers played a huge role in the Fyre Fest and they weren't even around a decade or so ago, so what are they and where did they come from? Also how do dogs poop when it's this cold?? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We all made it to Seattle for the podcasting event of the year, PodCon2! To commemorate this momentous occasion, we're hosting the first ever "Young Adult Selection Commendations" or something like that that won't get us in trouble for copyright. We're pitting greats like The Hunger Games against...Bunnicula? And the results are definitely going to surprise you. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're all three obsessed with Marie Kondo and her tidiness (because like, who isn't?) and we want to talk about it, so we're talking about dorm room organization! What do college kids do with all that extra space now that they don't have to store and display their CDs and DVDs and video games? Let's find out! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy New New! To celebrate the start of a brand new year, we're talking about our resolutions! You know, those things that everyone talks about but most people forget about by February? Well, we're going over all those hip teen resolutions, as well as what 90s kids should make their resolutions? Is this really a thing? Oh well, let's find out! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sadly, the holiday season has come to a close, but thankfully we're still in that weird stretch of days where we're all still acting like it's a holiday break! Since our littlest sister has come home for the first time after being away at school, we're going all in on what it truly means to be a back home baller and come home. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the holiday season, which means it's that time of year where everyone remembers that "Baby It's Cold Outside" is kind of a problematic song and we all discuss why, so we wanted to join! We also talk about all of our favorite and not so favorite songs and the dreaded Wham-aggedon. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

HE'S BACK! Our Christmas King has returned and we're here to talk aalll about that royal wedding. We still aren't sure how the royal lineage works in Aldovia or what meat jelly is or why Emily isn't queen but here we are, one whole year later, ready to tackle these issues with you. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Our oldest sister is traveling this week, so we've replaced her with our mom! The holiday season has arrived once again, so we're helping you come up with the perfect gift list for your teen in your life! Some of them may be a little out of date, but they're teen gifts all the same! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, it's Thanksgiving, but we wanted to give you something to listen to so you can recover from all of those conversations you had to have probably about politics or something with your family. So we're talking about bras! And underwear! And hats for breastfeeding moms! Wait, what? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The sisters are joined by a VERY special guest this week, Hank Green! Rileigh has attempted in the past to share her knowledge of Youtube, but this week we've brought in an expert who can teach us ALL about kids who make bank off slime videos and maybe what Team 10 really is? Also, go check out his new book, "An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" and get tickets to come see all of us at PodCon in January! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

All we have to say this week is GO VOTE! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The spooky season has come to a close, but before we depart from this most wonderful time of year, we want to talk about trick or treating! Sure, it may be something some people stop doing early on in their teen years, but do we really have to? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's that ~spooky~ time of year again, and our sisters want to talk about one of the spookiest experiences of the teen and adult Halloween experience: haunted houses! Some go a little too far for our sisters, but among the three of them there's a wide range of openness to spook, so come listen and get spooky with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, 2/3 of our sisters are off being famous authors and illustrators on whirlwind book tours, so our littlest sister has put together a third edition of "Best of Buffering!" She's put together some of their best bits throughout the past few months, from Sydnee Smirl the Science Girl to the Claire's extravaganza from PodCon, we've got it all! Come join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Rileigh has been obsessed with Shane Dawson's recent Youtube documentary series, and Sydnee is very confused by that idea, so we're going full documentary nerd! From Sydnee's weird obsession with Burning Man to the rise of Buzzfeed Unsolved and very meta Youtuber documentaries about other Youtubers, we're letting our documentarian flags fly and going all in. Come join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We know we've talked about friends before, but we realized that non-male friendships in the media kinda get a bad rep, and no one really understands why? Like, could Clueless have done without the boys? And are Rizzo and Sandy really the best duo in all of Grease? Come answer these really important questions with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

So, there's this show on Netflix called "American Vandal," and all three of us are kind of obsessed with it recently? And it's about teens? So, we're going to talk about it, because it's funny and as it turns out, insightful about teen life as well! Be warned: minor spoilers involved for both seasons, but the identity of neither teen criminal is revealed. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Now stick with us here, we know you hear "shoes" is our topic and you're like, come on sisters, that's the best you have for us? But HEAR US OUT, did you know slides are now being sold for thousands of dollars? How about shoes that order pizza, did you know about those? Well come join us, and you'll know about ALL of it. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The sisters are back! Fresh from a brief hiatus, the Smirl girls are here to discuss roommates. Rileigh has officially lived with her roommates for about a month now, so she's qualified to talk about living with them, right? From creepy dolls to stinky dishes, the sisters have had a wide range of roommate experiences and are here to talk about them ALL. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

You have all watched (well, listened to) our littlest Smirl go through some pretty big changes recently, and now she's going through another. Long distance relationships are a part of a lot of people's college experiences, and now Rileigh's too. Come join our oldest sisters in helping her through this transition and give her some goofs too! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Last week she was moving into her dorm, and this week our littlest Smirl has become a full-fledged college student! We're talking all about how different the first day of college is compared to other first days we've discussed in the past, from the difference between professors and teachers, to the secret formula for creating a full sized refrigerator, we've got it all! Come start school with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The day has finally arrived! The littlest Smirl sister has packed her bags and moved into her first college dorm. From giant cardboard moving bins to mini fridges on mini fridges, the sisters have covered every possible facet of the college move in experience, so come join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, the time has come for our littlest sister's final episode still living at home, this time next week she'll be all on her own in her big girl college dorm! In honor of this momentous occasion, we're talking about the (maybe pointless) college tradition of orientation, complete with campus tours and "safety" talks. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're sorry we missed our episode last week! All three sisters were on island time, and podcasting can get tricky when you're on an actual island. But, we're back this week and ready to talk about all those awkward family dinners you may have dealt with as a teen. Whether they were at your house, a friend's, or (worse of all) a significant other's, there have always been difficulties with them all and we want to talk about them! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Our babiest Smirl is moving into her very first dorm in just about three short weeks, so our oldest sisters are giving her the perfect list of dorm essentials so she starts her freshman year in the best dorm possible! Even if she becomes known as the girl who talks about Tetris in Spanish and eats mac and cheese at 2 in the morning, at least Rileigh will have her noodle pot. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Welcome to Still Buffetting, the newest Jimmy Buffett fancast where we only discuss the world through the eyes of the chillest dude, Sir Lord Reverend Dr. James Buffett. In celebration of the most wonderful time of year (island time), we're talking all about teen concerts, from Buffett to moshing to cosplay, we've done it ALL. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In celebration of the remake of the hit teen game show "Double Dare," the sisters are talking all of the classic game shows of the 90s, from "Wild and Crazy Kids" to "Nick Arcade" and all the way into the teen-centric reality shows of today, we've covered it all. So come get Super Sloppy with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate this wonderful time of the year, the sisters were joined by one of Rileigh's long time friends, Elizabeth, a teen member of the LGBTQ+ community. This week, Elizabeth joins Rileigh in being the teen voice of our show, and along with our middlest sister, the two explore what being "definitely not straight" as a teen of yesterday and today has been like for them. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Our littlest Smirl sister went on a teen adventure this past weekend where she made some decisions that probably weren't the smartest, and our other sisters realized they'd done the same things (and some dumber things too.) So we're cliff diving into the dumb things all teens do and why they do them, come jump in with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In the first ever extra early morning edition of Still Buffering, the sisters dive into all of the differences that exist in consumable media of today vs. of the 90s. From Blockbuster to Netflix and the radio to Apple Music and Spotify, a lot has changed in the way we share the media we enjoy with each other and in the ways we get that media, so let's talk about them! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Have you ever doubted that the Earth is round? Or believed that Avril Lavigne is not really still OUR Avril? Then chances are, you might be a teen and you might have been exposed to some crazy Internet conspiracy theories, and today we're diving deep into that rabbit hole, so come join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The day is finally here, the day our littlest Smirl sister has officially graduated high school! Before we dive into summer break, we're going over all the high points of the social event of the season: (apparently?) Rileigh's high school's graduation. From the speeches to the awards ceremonies, we've got it all. So come join us in congratulating our babiest of sisters. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Well, our littlest Smirl sister has completed high school at last. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're taking a look back at all of our high school years and discussing all of our regrets, best moments, and advice to our past selves and all of you cool teens who are still in high school. Come join us on our walk down memory road since we're all officially high school graduates now! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Live from the Columbus Podcast Festival, the sisters play the hot teen game, The Game of Phones! Although Teylor got it confused with something else and it turned into an emoji-off, it still made for some fun, sisterly rivalry live from the Short North Stage in beautiful Columbus, Ohio! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Backpacks. An integral part of every teen/school experience. Something that seems as if it's remained constant throughout time, but has it? Despite the general idea remaining the same, a lot has changed about how the teens use their backpacks and what they keep in them, and sadly, they can't return them and get a new one for free every time it breaks now. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

So Sydnee found this book, and it's a very bad book, but it makes for very good talking points on our show, so that's what we're sharing with you today. Apparently teen girls in the 80s had a lot of rules, from archetype roles they had to fit into to how they could eat corn, there's a lot there to talk about and we're doing it all. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Teens these days are living their lives inside of their apps, and not the delicious kind that you eat before dinner, but the tech kind that live in their phones! So we're consulting the internets and finding what apps adults think teens are into and what apps other teens think teens are into to see who's actually right. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Our babiest sister is fresh off of Senior Prom weekend and is here to give us the inside scoop! We've covered prom before, but now we have a firsthand account of what prom is actually like on this inside. From dancing to "DJs" and everything else we've covered a cool t33n prom from start to finish. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy week 2 of the MaxFunDrive! To celebrate our youngest Smirl's impending graduation, we decided to come up with a definitive playlist of the best songs to encapsulate the aura of senior year and graduation, from Vitamin C to Taylor Swift these sisters have all of their decades covered, and you're in for a TREAT. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's the most wonderful time of the year, the MaxFunDrive! To kick off our yearly celebration of our MaximumFun family, we're diving into the most popular "teen life hacks" of the 90s and of today, and if any of them actually do what they're supposed to do and, well, hack your life. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's Sydnee's birthday, so she can finally run for president! Also, our babiest sister just got back from a fun, big kid road trip, so we're talking about them! From the perfect car snack, to music, to road trip duties based on seating position, we have created the ten commandments of road trips, so come on a trip with us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We've joked for a long time about our collective feelings towards Claire's, a mall staple for decades, and now (maybe unsurprisingly?) they're closing for good. So let's take a look back on what malls were for teens "back in the day" and what they are now! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As requested by a listener, Emma, this week, the sisters are talking about flirting! Sydnee is a self-proclaimed "expert" in flirting, Rileigh believes she is somewhere in the middle, and Teylor is very open about how bad she thinks she is at flirting. From the ~look~ to the mixtapes, flirting spans the ages, just like our sisters, so let's talk about it! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The new Netflix original, "Everything Sucks!" was basically designed to be discussed on our podcast, so here we are discussing it! On our podcast! From stereotypical 90s fashion to the 90s being /that/ 90s, we've covered it all, so of course, there will be spoilers if you haven't seen the show yet. But, it only takes five hours to watch the whole first season, so we'll see you when you're done binging. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're back with an all new edition of Ask a Teen, where you all can ask America's Favorite Teen, Rileigh Smirl, all of your most dire generation z-centered questions. Also, Cooper is back by popular demand this week with even more of her world famous baby noises! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's been a rough week here in America, and we want to talk about it because it seems like teenagers are finally on the front page for something other than Tide pods and fidget spinners, and that something is much bigger than teens have been known for in recent history. (Also, this week we're joined by our favorite fourth host, Cooper McElroy!) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Sorry for the late upload this week again, but one of our sisters had a baby! To celebrate the arrival of another McElroy who showed up just a day before Valentine's Day, we're talking about the day of ~love~ that so many people seem to, well, not love. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're sorry for another late upload, it is apparently the time of year where everyone is sick with everything all of the time, including our sisters. But, Rileigh has some exciting news to share and we want to talk about it! So come join us this week as we discuss what body parts you could technically remove and sicknesses that result in dislocation of your eyes....Wait, what? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The flu season is in full swing, and unfortunately 2/3 of this podcast have contracted some sort of flu-like bug. Not to fear though! The sisters still have an episode for you this week all about the best and worst parts of sick days off of school and work. Even Sydnee's weird and short-lived obsession with soap operas. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We kind of talked about Tide pods last week, but this week we went ALL in on Internet challenges. We talked about all of the dumb and dangerous things teens have been doing on the Internet for views and likes and all the things teens used to do before they even got views. Apparently doing something stupid with everything from compressed air to condoms will get you all of those likes! (But don't do them) (also the word "ass" is in this episode once but as a title so we're still friendly for your family's ears we promise) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're sorry this episode is a day late, but we're all really really bad about procrastinating, so that's what we decided to talk about! This episode covers all of the ways to navigate a last minute assignment from Cliff's Notes to Sparknotes and...Tide pods? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This week, our eldest Smirl sister is too sick to make goofs, so we put together some of our favorite and best goofs from all of our shows to make up for it! From Teylor waking up with her hand in a bowl of pasta to our 12 Days of Candlenights song we wrote this holiday season, we have it all! And we'll be back with a regular episode next week! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The holiday season may be over, but the spirit of Candlenights lives on all year round! So to save you from those post-holiday blues, here is our live episode from this year's Candlenights Spectacular in our very own hometown of Huntington, West Virginia! We wrote a song, things got a little weird, there were many Buscemis and scrunchies. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're less than one week away from Christmas and only a day away from Candlenights, so let's talk about one of the most popular holiday movies of this season, A Christmas Prince. It's magical and terrible and hilarious and confusing and we want you to watch it, we think. Also, major super spoiler warning for A Christmas Prince, just in case. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We did a live show! At PodCon! In Seattle! We talked more about Claire's because it's been a while since we've reminded you all of the many joys and horrors of that store, and we had a sisterly secret Santa that may have been messed up by our littlest sister. Oh and we threw out scrunchies, lip smackers, and earrings, so if you were there we hope you enjoy and if you weren't...well...we're sorry. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Finals and exams and holiday shopping are all happening at once, so we all need a little bit of an energy boost, so why not down a few Red Bulls and Surges? Caffeine becomes a part of nearly everyone's life during the stressful teen years, so let's talk about it! Also, we created our first hit track for the Still Buffering album, stay tuned. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In this week's very special episode we have a very special guest, domestic violence victims' advocate and youth services coordinator for Branches Domestic Violence Shelter, Rychelle Moses!

Bad skin is something most of us deal with throughout our teen years, both "back in the day" and today. But, it seems like today teens are a way more into taking care of their skin with fancy products or covering it up with even fancier makeup. So let's talk about teen face trends like masks and face washes and apparently orange bars and apricot scrubs that destroy your face? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

The holiday season has arrived, and that means everyone is struggling to figure out what new hip gadgets to get for the teens in their life for the holidays. Not to fear! The Sisters Smirl have you covered, and are here with the hottest teen gadgets of this year and yesteryear, even the ones I'm pretty sure have nothing to do with actual technology. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Trigger Warning: Mention of suicide, sexual harassment/assault We've all dealt with sexism in some form at some point in our lives, as cool teens, as cool adults, and everywhere in between. So let's talk about how this seemingly unavoidable part of life has changed and maybe not changed throughout the years. (Also we have some pretty important teen updates for you, Snapchat didn't work for about 3 hours, it was a state of emergency in the teen world.) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, let's discuss one of the spookiest and teen-iest movies of all time, The Craft! From the real deal spells to the #teenlife drama, this 90s movie had it all, so let's get spooky! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We're back this week with a ghost who replaced Rileigh and now is just a scratchy, spooky voice from the void. (Actually Rileigh is just really sick so we know her voice doesn't sound great and we know our episode is late, but it's hard to do an audio podcast without one of us being able to make audible noises.) So since we have a spooky new teen voice joining us, let's talk about Halloween and all the things that make or break a perfect Halloween celebration as a teen! Also, sexy Babadook is THE costume this year, you heard it here first. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's spoopy season! Since it's the most wonderful time of the year, we're talking about all of the scary stories, myths, and games we heard of and played as teens. Also, Sydnee learns about the Dark Web and we create some of the newest and best conspiracy theories to fuel your nightmares, enjoy! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It finally happened! After being extremely disappointed a few months ago when she couldn't get a tattoo at the beach, our babiest sister has finally been inked for life! So let's talk about tattoos when our oldest Smirl girls were in high school, and why are they so popular now? Also we think Sydnee Freaky Friday-ed with a grandma this week, but we aren't sure. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Trigger Warning: Gun violence is discussed in this episode. The world is a scary place, and we've talked before about how we can cope with that scariness and try to overcome our fears, but now it's time to talk about how we all can help. Even teenagers can help in times like these, and it's important to remember that, no matter how helpless you may feel in the world today. Here are all of the resources mentioned in this episode: Hispanic Federation: https://hispanicfederation.org/unidos/ United Blood Services: 1-877-827-4376 Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Out of all the crazy teen media that exists today, Teen Vogue has been getting a lot of attention, and we want to talk about why!

And possibly discover the greatest show to ever exist. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In a special edition of Still Buffering, the sisters cover a topic that can't be compared to the generations of Sydnee and Teylor, but rather is so new that we all just want to be updated on the new technology with the teens. So, let's discuss the somewhat terrifying thing that is a Snapmap and maybe finally figure out that dichotomous key of social media classification. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In another episode to celebrate the start of summer, the sisters are talking about one of everyone's favorite types of places to go in the summertime, amusement parks! Or are they theme parks? Or are all theme parks amusement parks but not all amusement parks are theme parks? Whatever the case, let's talk about painful rainy rollercoasters and Mickey Mouse wake up calls! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's only been summer for about two weeks, but all any of the sisters can think about is the fact that our babies sister is now a senior!

Since this first and most interesting season of the new hit teen show Riverdale has come to an end, it's time to discuss how much our favorite characters of the Archie universe have actually changed, and why they've changed, since the much more wholesome days of Betty and Veronica competing in music video contests and Jughead eating like a lot of food. And while we're at it, why not take a look at how many more of those 90's teen shows have been rebooted for the teens of today, since apparently modern teens like heroin, maple syrup, and murder? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Summer is finally here! Our babiest Smirl girl is on summer vacation at last, and you know what that means: soakin' up rays and catchin' those waves!

Or you could follow Teylor's foolproof way to avoid a burn/skin damage: STAY INSIDE! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Let's ride that crimson wave over into grown up town and talk about that dreaded monthly visit from Aunt Flow. Or maybe talk about how much we all hate euphemisms for periods.

The sisters are back from their short trip to Columbus and are ready to talk about something we've all wondered about at some point. Why is there always pizza everywhere?

With one of Netflix's most popular shows ever being all anyone can talk about recently, we wanted to join in on the conversation too.

Even though the beginning of this week's episode sounds like we've started a new Riverdale fan/hatecast, I promise we haven't, we just get really passionate about Archie and teen dramas. Since we needed to discuss the legitimacy of this new show, we thought it would be fitting to discuss the idea of fan-ing out over celebrities, and find out that all three of us have done some somewhat creepy-ish things over the years... Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

In this week's very timely episode, the sisters discuss a somewhat more sensitive topic (and one that makes Rileigh very uncomfortable at times), birth control. Since birth control is a phrase most all teenagers have had to hear or even experience at some point in their lives, the sisters thought this discussion would shed some light on the stigma and social acceptability of birth control throughout the years. Also, there's a lot of butt talk this episode so...there's that. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Hey everybody. We just wanted to take a second to apologize for the less than great audio quality of this week's episode. We're sorry if it made it hard to listen, and we'll be back with a much clearer episode next week. Thank you for understanding. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As the cold, dreary winter season continues to make life a little bit worse for everybody, the sisters reflect on one of the only enjoyable factors of winter during school, snow days.

(Also, it's been one year since Still Buffering began! Thank you all for your continued support and love.) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

We aren't really sure what happened this week, we planned on talking about jobs and somehow the majority of this episode is about troll butts, Batman pizza, and Sydnee's new boat life. So...we tried to stay on topic and we hope you gain at least a bit of insight about teen jobs (but that might be hard to do.) Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy New Year from the Smirl sisters to you! It's finally 2017, and we're all happy that 2016 is over. But, is New Year's even really a holiday when you're a teen, and how do teens actually celebrate it when they can't party and none of them have the "sacrificial parent?" I guess they could have musical theatre nerd parties like Sydnee did (but they sound kinda lame.) Find out the answers to all of these and more on this week's episode, and join us in ringing in the New Year! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As the holiday season comes to a close, it's time to think about what the most important thing is to do after you receive all of those lovely, thoughtful holiday presents...return them all.

In another special late-night edition of the show, the sisters tackle a more serious topic: bullying. All three have many stories to share, many of them about bullies that were surprisingly thorough and dedicated to their bits. But don't worry, the sisters have moved on from those terrible middle school days and are ready to goof about them and hopefully help some of you who may be dealing with some bullies right now.

As the spooky season comes to a close, the sisters take a minute to reflect on their past Halloween costumes and some of the most popular ones from their times and share what they're going to be for this Halloween. But, there's also a very extensive conversation about the existence of a sexy poop emoji costume. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

As a continuation of the sisters' month long celebration of the spookiest month of the year, this week, they discussed all of their favorite monsters!

Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

It's officially spooky season! Or as Rileigh would call it, "spoopy" season. To celebrate this most wonderful time of the year, the sisters discuss some of their most favorite scary movies and tv series, where we learn Sydnee has been the victim of some pretty spooky baby monitor pranks.

This week, Sydnee and Teylor realize that Rileigh is like an old person when it comes to sleep, which is to say, she loves it and needs to go to bed early and sleep late every day. In order to break her of these habits, the older sisters recount their favorite late night activities, which apparently include minor misdemeanors?

It's spirit week and you know what that means! It's time for Pajama Day, Character Day, and...a day to dress as a giant pink hard candy?

Sadly, the littlest of the sisters has had a rough weekend, after failing her driver's test and missing out on a party with her friends. But not to fear! Her sisters are here to share their driving mishaps and misfortunes, including the answer behind why Syd's car always smelled like meat and what song Tey hated so much it caused a wreck.

In this week's much anticipated episode, the sisters finally figure out what all of the new hot teen slang words of today mean! And in doing so, they create their own Smirl Girl Dictionary which includes a few questionable words. Huzzah! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

This week, the sisters got a tad more serious than they are in their usual episodes, but with all three of them having personal experiences and troubles with this topic, it was something they felt needed to be discussed. But don't worry, there are still goofs as they try to crack FaceBook algorithms and why they always show Teylor cupcakes. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Let's have a slumber party! (Rileigh insists that no one calls it that anymore and will only refer to them as sleep-overs, but guess who's in charge of the text this week?)
