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.

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.
