In our first anime/cartoon episode of this new show, we're diving fully into Teylor's first favorite: Sailor Moon! It's long been a staple of all of the sisters' lives, from sketchy dubs purchased online to second grade talent show performances, so it's about time we talk about it!

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.

In this year's Candlenights holiday special, the sisters sing. Yes, they sing in this one. They also dissect one of this year's hit films that keeps this show going every holiday season: A Christmas Prince 3. Or should it be called Sporks Out? 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!

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!

It's CEREAL TIME here at Still Buffering, and the Smirl sisters are diving headfirst into a bowl of sugary goodness with you to figure out the BEST cereal (or maybe just talk about it through the ages like we always do).

Very few pieces of culture seem to be able to transcend all boundaries of time and generational differences, but somehow Saturday Night Live is one of the few that has been able to for decades. So, what is it about sketch comedy shows that's so appealing to young adults and grown ups alike that spans years? Let's find out! Also, we're sorry about the chicken.

We just skimmed the surface of what it means to be a "VSCO Girl" in our last live episode, and now we're going ALL in. But what we really want to know is: what was a VSCO girl in the 90s?

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.

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?

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?

It's a stressful time of year for students as the school year begins to pick up and everyone starts having their first tests and exams, but are adults really understanding of teen stress? Let's find out!

As Rileigh begins her second year of college, she's realized that professors in college are a lot different than the teachers she got used to in high school, and Sydnee and Teylor know that transition all too well, so let's talk about our "profs" and "teaches," shall we?

Aug 28, 2019

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.

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?

Oh, the wonderful world of Pinterest and YouTube DIY videos. This week, we're taking a trip into the rabbit hole that is crafting and DIYing as a teen, and why we all loved it so much. Whittling, anyone?

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.

The sisters have island time on the mind as they're all about to go on their annual family beach trip, so they're taking a look back at all of the hit summer blockbusters of years' past, and more specifically it seems, Jaws?? Like, a LOT of Jaws???

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.
