Still Buffering

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
