    Still Buffering: Bo Burnham- Inside (2021)

    Like none of us want to be reminded of Covid lockdown, but if you had to choose a way to reminisce, Bo Burnham's Inside might be the best option.

    Still Buffering: Forbidden Fruits (2026)

    What would happen if the cast of Mean Girls had magic powers? Nothing good, but also something great. Join us as we watch the new camp classic Forbidden Fruits.

    Still Buffering: Backrooms (2026)

    This week we're heading into the liminal space of horror and investigating the Backrooms. What's scarier than an indoor waterslide? Hygienically speaking, not much.

    Still Buffering: The Man Will Burn (2026)

    Are Disney adults all that different from Burners? Probably, in some ways. And not in others. In any case we can all agree that everything gets worse when a Musk gets involved.

    Still Buffering: Obsession (2026)

    This week we're talking about the Flodge. Don't know what that is? Probably for the best. Also Obsession, the incel horror movie that asks the question; what if a girl actually liked you? (She doesn't, and you should be ok with that.)

    Still Buffering: Bury Your Gays (2024)

    We're back and we have done our bloody gay homework! Join us as we discuss Chuck Tingles 2024 offering to the queer for fear library, Bury Your Gays. How can we actually defeat corporate ai slop hellscape? Is it the power of love? We'll try that first and then move onto sledge hammers.

    Still Buffering: Below Deck (2013)

    Woops, sometimes you get so busy celebrating your 250 year old bad friend's birthday you forget to read your gay horror novel. That's ok. Sometimes. You can always talk about Below Deck. At least the once.

    Still Buffering: They/Them (2022)

    Oops, too much Pride and not enough Podcasting, but we're back with a final Queer/Fear movie for Pride month. They/Them is a conversion camp horror movie, but does the camp need more camp? And what song would a group of gen Z gay teens actually perform a sing along to? Probably not Pink.

    Still Buffering: Queens of the Dead (2025)

    Happy Pridoween! Our scary but also queer horror movie marathon continues with the recent gem Queens of the Dead. Can you defeat zombies with the power of friendship? Probably, if it's gay friendship.

    Still Buffering: Whistle (2025)

    It's halfway to halloween and halfway through Pride month, so we are combining the two and watching some fears for queers! First up in our gay horror movie mini-thon is Whistle, a recent film where the physical manifestation of death is doing its best to bury our gays via murderous wind instruments.

    Still Buffering: Euphoria Finale (2026)

    This week on Still Buffering, We Go There, and then just keep on going, because we're watching Euphoria. But just the final episode with no context. The perfect way, really.

    Still Buffering: A Decade of the Met Gala

    Clearly a person who pairs grey with gray, and another who takes outfit inspo from Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura, are exactly who should share their opinions on the biggest fashion gala of the year. And yet HERE WE ARE.

    Still Buffering: Ready or Not 2 (2026)

    On this show, if we can find a way to talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar, we're going to talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar. And Ready or Not 2, while being a pretty great movie in its own right, is an excellent excuse to talk about The SMG.

    Still Buffering: The Great Divide (2026)

    This week we're keeping up with the youths and listening to the newest release from Noah Kahan. Is part of growing into adulthood exorcising the ghosts of the past? And if you don't, will they steal your glasses?

    Still Buffering: Lost in Translation (2003)

    For a relaxing time, make it Still Buffering time. This week on the show, we're looking back on Lost in Translation. Is it a beautiful meditation on loneliness, and a vivid love letter to Japan? Yes. But does it hold up under the modern microscope? Let's discuss.

    Still Buffering: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025)

    Week 2 of the maxfundrive, and we're delving into the ai fears of the future via the new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. You know what ai couldn't make? This specific podcast. And we definitely consume less water, like we're always dehydrated, we're a net positive water producer by how rarely we remember to drink water. (We is probably just Teylor, but he more than does his part)

    Still Buffering: The Pitt (2026)

    It's Maxfundrive, that time of year we thank all of our lovely listeners and supporters, and also offer you gifts. Give me 12 CC's of Troll Keychains, stat! Because we're also talking about the Pitt..that wasn't a great transition, I don't think that's a legal measurement for troll dolls or keychains. Anyway, if you've supported us this long, you know being kinda bad at transitions is one of our things. Thanks for being here all the same.
