It's spooky season! In celebration of this wonderful time of year, we at Still Buffering always take a couple weeks to celebrate the spooky and scary media that make this season even better. To start, we're looking back at the original Hunger Games, Battle Royale! 
CW: This movie contains violence and suicide, and we discuss the contents of the movie in some detail. For an exhaustive list of possible sensitive topics in this film, look at the CW for "Battle Royale" (2000).

Still Buffering: "Battle Royale" (2000)

A cross-generational guide to the culture that made us, by Sydnee McElroy, Teylor Smirl, and Rileigh Smirl. New episodes every Thursday.

Comedy

This movie is 100% accurate when it comes to what hacking is really like and what computers actually do, and we will not accept any debate on that topic.

Still Buffering: "Hackers" (1995)

If you can't tell by now, the Smirl siblings are quite the competitive bunch who are CONVINCED they could win like 98% of reality shows out there, apparently including this one. Also, someone finally broke the no cursing rule this week, place your bets now who it was!!!

Still Buffering: "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Well, you all saw this coming. Taylor Swift released not only a new album but a secret DOUBLE ALBUM with 31 SONGS, so you know Rileigh had to force her siblings to listen to all 2 hours and talk about it with her.

Still Buffering: "The Tortured Poets Department" - Taylor Swift

If there's one area where these siblings have a WIDE variety of tastes, it's music, and that's definitely true this week when Rileigh is not so patiently awaiting the newest Taylor Swift album while learning all about the Barenaked Ladies.

Still Buffering: "Stunt" - Barenaked Ladies

So...Sydnee made us watch this movie this week, and for SOME OF US it was their first time, and they maybe didn't know what to expect because SOMEONE didn't warn them. So, enjoy us talking about Jojo Siwa for way too long to avoid the inevitable uncomfortable conversations in this episode.
