Still Buffering: Superman (2025)
Aug 4, 202500:48:17Tap to summarizeIt's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a podcast! (That's actually three very weird things to confuse, are you good?) Anyway, we make the jump from John Waters to the Man of Steel this week, as we discuss the new Superman movie, and whether or not Clark Kent is the punkest guy around.

Transcribe →Still Buffering: Serial Mom (1994)
Jul 25, 202500:45:45Tap to summarizeWe have a final entry into our little mini-series on the iconic John Waters, with his murderous matron of mayhem, Serial Mom. Join us as we discuss this dark comedy, that's sort of like Dexter, if Dexter made really good meatloaf. White shoes after labor day have finally met their match!

Transcribe →Still Buffering: Cry-Baby (1990)
Jul 20, 202500:49:53Tap to summarizeThis week we continue our John Waters rewatch with 1990's iconic greaser musical, Cry-Baby! Don't be a square, join us! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Transcribe →Still Buffering: Pink Flamingos (1972)
Jul 13, 202500:51:17Tap to summarizeThis week we begin a mini-series on the Pope of Trash himself, John Waters. First up, the shocking Pink Flamingos. Look, I could list all the triggers in this film, but um, if you can think of something that may offend or defile you, it's there. Buyer Beware. Join us as we ponder the question; is there some freeing divinity to be found through extreme cinema? Who knows, but there's certainly Divine.

Transcribe →Still Buffering: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Jul 5, 202500:48:27Tap to summarizeThis week, we're back on the road with another iconic piece of queer cinema. If I had a nickel every time someone made a movie about three drag queens road tripping together and discovering important truths along the way, I'd have two nickels, and frankly I'd happily have more.

Transcribe →Still Buffering: The Birdcage (1996)
Jun 16, 202500:47:28Tap to summarizeThis week on Still Buffering, we start our Pride movie review limited series with The Birdcage. This gem from the mid 90's is a glittering diamond of drag and family values that for many young queers was the first glimpse at mainstream acceptance. Join us as we celebrate being your own special creation and HAPPY PRIDE. Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Transcribe →Still Buffering: The Minecraft Movie
Jun 10, 202500:45:55Tap to summarizeHappy...Pride? Ok we didn't really think through having the Minecraft movie be our first offering for the month of gay, but there is a non-zero amount of dudely 69'ing in this film so you know what? We're good. And weirdly so is the movie. Do we fully understand the allure of a chicken jockey? Maybe not, but join us anyway! Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by http://nouvellas.bandcamp.com/">Nouvellas
Transcribe →Still Buffering: The Rehearsal
Jun 3, 202500:49:31Tap to summarizeIt's summer vacation! Perfect time to hide behind your couch from awkward scenarios playing out on your tv. This week we watched the much discussed The Rehearsal, and give our 2 cents. So 4 cents total. Or maybe one cent each. In any case, it's ok to like and also not like things.
