Still Buffering: "David the Gnome"

11/3/2023
It's not often that our eldest Smirl siblings can bring something to the table that Rileigh never even knew existed...but boy Sydnee certainly hit the mark there this week. Also, are gnomes scary? Are they threatening us? WHAT DO THEY WANT? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Still Buffering: "GUTS" - Olivia Rodrigo

10/10/2023

Still Buffering: "Casablanca" (1942)

Duration:00:44:58

Still Buffering: Jimmy Buffett

9/11/2023
We had planned on talking about Jimmy and his music in our next episode, but with the news of his passing, we found it difficult to talk about much else this week than the man whose music has brought our family together for decades. We got a little emotional this week, but join us as we take a trip through not only our favorite Jimmy songs, but our favorite Jimmy memories from a life full of them. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Still Buffering: "Princess Mononoke" (1997)

8/29/2023
We're big fans of Miyazaki films around here, and while we may be slightly partial to Howl's Moving Castle (and for some of us, the tasty tasty looking food in that movie) this one is right up there too. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Duration:00:50:44

Still Buffering: Mario

8/20/2023
It's not every week we get to take a journey through an amorphous idea of media on this show, but this time we're taking a deep dive into the world of Mario Mario, including all its lil quirks that maybe don't make that much sense but don't just think about them too hard because it's MARIO. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Still Buffering: "Stick Season" - Noah Kahan

8/13/2023
This week, we learn that the Smirl siblings have no idea what/where/who New England is, but they're convinced it's Appalachian, even though they literally just figured out that it's not. But we'll still talk about Noah Kahan's album like it's about Appalachia. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Duration:00:50:16

Still Buffering: "Lost in Space" - Aimee Mann

Duration:00:51:30

Still Buffering: "Fight Club" (1999)

7/30/2023
It seems counter-intuitive that we're talking about Fight Club, since, well of course the first rule of Fight Club and all and...well...maybe we shouldn't? Is this breaking the rules? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Duration:00:51:18

Still Buffering: Harley Quinn

7/11/2023
Sometimes, one of us loves a character or an artist or a body of work so much we can't even narrow down our favorite pieces, we just have to talk about absolutely all of it, so that's why this week Teylor has us talking ALL about ALL things Harley Quinn.
