This week we're discussing the cross-generational favorite, They Might Be Giants. Whether teaching you geography or about the dangers of capitalism and conformity, it's nice to have a band the whole family can enjoy! Completely unrelated, don't put 600 pound 2 legged tables in your restaurant.   Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week we're joined by two very special, spoiler free guests, as we discuss the new hit K-Pop Demon Hunters. Fighting! Magic! Romance! Birds in little hats they stole from mythical tigers! We're discussing a film that really does have it all.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a podcast! (That's actually three very weird things to confuse, are you good?) Anyway, we make the jump from John Waters to the Man of Steel this week, as we discuss the new Superman movie, and whether or not Clark Kent is the punkest guy around. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
We have a final entry into our little mini-series on the iconic John Waters, with his murderous matron of mayhem, Serial Mom. Join us as we discuss this dark comedy, that's sort of like Dexter, if Dexter made really good meatloaf. White shoes after labor day have finally met their match!  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week we continue our John Waters rewatch with 1990's iconic greaser musical, Cry-Baby! Don't be a square, join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week we begin a mini-series on the Pope of Trash himself, John Waters. First up, the shocking Pink Flamingos. Look, I could list all the triggers in this film, but um, if you can think of something that may offend or defile you, it's there. Buyer Beware. Join us as we ponder the question; is there some freeing divinity to be found through extreme cinema? Who knows, but there's certainly Divine.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week, we're back on the road with another iconic piece of queer cinema. If I had a nickel every time someone made a movie about three drag queens road tripping together and discovering important truths along the way, I'd have two nickels, and frankly I'd happily have more.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Our pride movie review not only rolls along, it's on a road trip! First stop, the iconic adventures of Priscilla,Queen of the Desert. Gather your queens and check your engine light,  while we discuss this heartwarming as it is fabulous drag classic.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Pride marches on this week on Still Buffering, as we discuss the incredibly important documentary Paris is Burning. Capturing the vibrant high days of the NYC ballroom scene, the birthplace for much of the queer culture we now enjoy. Pay your respects and learn your history, and of course, Protect the Dolls! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week on Still Buffering, we start our Pride movie review limited series with The Birdcage. This gem from the mid 90's is a glittering diamond of drag and family values that for many young queers was the first glimpse at mainstream acceptance. Join us as we celebrate being your own special creation and HAPPY PRIDE.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Happy...Pride? Ok we didn't really think through having the Minecraft movie be our first offering for the month of gay, but there is a non-zero amount of dudely 69'ing in this film so you know what? We're good. And weirdly so is the movie. Do we fully understand the allure of a chicken jockey? Maybe not, but join us anyway! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
It's summer vacation! Perfect time to hide behind your couch from awkward scenarios playing out on your tv. This week we watched the much discussed The Rehearsal, and give our 2 cents. So 4 cents total. Or maybe one cent each. In any case, it's ok to like and also not like things.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
What more can we say...? I mean, enough for a podcast episode. This week we're discussing the MF'ing Princess herself, Avril Lavigne. Punk or poseur, she dominated our youth and earned her props. And also ABSOLUTELY wasn't replaced by a clone.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
We got a new pope the same week we're talking about a movie about a new pope! Divine intervention? Definitely. Absolutely. Better listen. God said so. Basically.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, that's what this episode is made of! (Along with some chemical X, of course.) Join us as we discuss The Powerpuff Girls, the oft rebooted girl power trio from our childhood. Were you a Blossom, Buttercup, or a Bubbles? And why did we all grow up to be Hims, Seduca's, and Fuzzy Lumpkins? Join us as we contemplate this and more on this weeks Still Buffering. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week on Still Buffering we're sating our hunger for new Hunger Games content by watching the 2023 series installment, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It's like a musical, with added death and class consciousness, but not Les Mis.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week we're going back to school, which would be a bummer if it wasn't the School of Rock! (Cue air guitar solo.) Join us as we discuss the iconic film, and the even more iconic Jack Black.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week on Still Buffering, we're checking into the luxurious and mysterious White Lotus. Will we survive? Mix up your favorite protein shake and join us as we discover that rich people can have problems too.  Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
This week on Still Buffering, we discuss the history of a dominant musical force in the 90's as well as today; boy bands. Were you team Backstreet, or team NSync? Or one of the true outliers, team 98 Degrees? Join us as we trod through the frosted tip jungle, and and discover the archetypal building blocks of your favorite teen dreams.  URL: Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas

silicon straws are the BEST!! Not only can you reuse them for a really long time, but also if you feel the need to chew on the ends, you can do that. It feels better than chewing on plastic straws. (I'm autistic and straw chewing seems common, so I'm sure there are other autistic people who would also love these. )

Syd being self-conscious about her orders = #relatable . I'm vegan *and* allergic to the most popular vegan ingredients (beans, including soy). I apologize the entire time In ordering and asking questions, then I tip 25%

My favorite Brendan Frasier role, and my favorite episode of Scrubs

I like Ted as lawyer representation because, before him, the only tv or movie lawyers I saw were either evil sleeze or Erin Brockovich style savior, and most lawyers I've met are normal people except with intensely exhausting jobs that take far too many hours per week

If I were looking for a new doctor and one of the doctors on their website had pink hair, I'd specifically ask for that one

ENM (ethical non monogamy) and poly aren't interchangeable words. It's a rectangles/squares thing. If you're poly, you're under the umbrella of ENM, but there are many ways to be ENM (thruples. open relationships, relationship anarchy, swapping, more). Of course, the point the siblings made still stands which is that the movie demonstrated not informed and not consenting, so just NM with no ethics.

I recognize all the flaws and the fact that it didn't age well, but High Fidelity (book AND movie) will always hold a special place in my heart. 🙃

Writing this before listening to the episode -- here is the order of the Grinches IMO: 1. the absolutely perfect original 1966 animated version based on the fantastic Dr. Seuss book; 2. the surprisingly super fun 2000 live action iteration, which I fully expected to hate but which is now on my annual "Must See" holiday list, starring Jim Carrey; 3. the unnecessary, just "meh" 2018 animation that nobody asked for, and that, quite frankly, I really don't remember; and... 4. the Grinch Musical that I never plan to see because it's even more unnecessary than the 2018 animation. Hoping the hosts agree with me -- now to listen and find out!

as an aroace who has zero interest in ever dating, this episode is fascinating in the same way as learning about a foreign culture

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! Ha, ha, ha, ha....(falls over dead.)
