Episodes
The highs, the disappointments, and a long list of excellent guest stars. Join us once again for a spreadsheet extravaganza to top out season 3, as Ed and Michaela discuss striking the balance between competence and creative risk-taking.
Ed and Michaela try to figure out what the fuck is going on with the mythology, with mixed results. Also they make possibly the first podcast in history to reference both Irish pop band The Corrs and the Brothers Karamasov.
A classic X Files conspiracy episode with two-for-one Mulders, which feels a little too prescient round contemporary media fears.

Michaela and Ed discuss dogs, gross oil stuff, and how well this episode wraps up one best two-parters in the entirety of the X-Files.
Michaela and Ed talk about camping and trivia, as well as an extremely moody episode of The X-Files that invokes Poe, Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, and mostly gets away with it.
A young, blockbuster mega-star Ryan Reynolds features in this 90s teen drama send-up. We discuss Mystic Meg, stealing our parents' liquor and whether this episode was made to poke the 'shippers.
Bugs are driving everyone crazy in Massachusetts in another fun Darin Morgan-penned episode. Michaela and Ed enjoy the mania, and also talk about getting stuck in things. Also, apologies to Bobbie Phillips, who Ed mistakenly calls "Bonnie Phillips" at one point.
