    Still Buffering: Infomercials

    It's time to slap n chop, microzap, and instapolymelt it, because we're talking the classic late night informercials of the 80's and 90's, when plastics weren't micro, they were all over your food. Also a raccoon got really drunk and we all connected with it spiritually. Weird times.

    Still Buffering: Silent Hill F (2025)

    This week, we're returning to Silent Hill yet again to discuss the survival horror series newest offering; Silent Hill F. What does the F stand for? Well no spoilers but my current best guess is frenemy.

    Still Buffering: Lily Allen

    It's hard out here for a podcast. But not when we're showing love to the coolest of the cool Lily Allen. Join us as we talk about current tiktok trends, Allen's amazing songwriting prowess, and how deeply uncomfortable we are with a freaked out David Harbour.

    Still Buffering: Camp Damascus (2023)

    Alas, spooky season has ended, but we have one last scare for you! Specifically, Chuck Tingle's 2023 novel Camp Damascus, a supernatural horror story about conversion therapy. What's more terrifying than ignorance and hate disguised as religious dogma? Ignorance and hate disguised as religious dogma that also makes you vomit flies.

    Still Buffering: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

    One two, a spooky podcast episode is coming for you...We're back with another scary movie! This week it's the iconic Freddy's Revenge, originally mocked for its queer subtext, but rediscovered as a cult classic by more modern generations. If you like gay camp with a side of gore, don't sleep on this movie! Or, you know, in general when Freddy Krueger is involved.

    Still Buffering: Saw (2004)

    I'd like to play a podcast... This week we're continuing our horror movie marathon with 2004's Saw, the first in the long running franchise of nightmare traps and confusing timelines. Join us as we discuss John Kramer's questionable moral campaign against taking life for granted, and who's job prepares them the most to cut their own foot off.

    Still Buffering: Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)

    As our spooky month of scary movie reviews rolls on, we're checking out the newest installment in the horror series that made every millennial afraid of log trucks; Final Destination. Bloodlines is serving Rube Goldberg machines of doom to the next generation, with plenty of nods to its legacy. Can death be outsmarted? Maybe. But not in the presence of an MRI machine.

    Still Buffering: Weapons (2025)

    It's Halloween season and you know what that means; we're bringing you a month straight of spooky movie discussion. This week, join us as we discuss the newly released Weapons. Is it just a scary movie about evil magic, or a meditation on the current woes haunting our country? Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but a giant rifle in the sky might suggest some symbolism?

    Still Buffering: Peacemaker (2025)

    This week we're bringing you podcasting at any cost! And by that we mean we're discussing the current hit tv show Peacemaker. Is redemption possible? Can we overcome the toxic indoctrination of our past? Does anyone actually know what an eagle looks like? All that and more on this episode of Still Buffering.
