Join fresh-faced recruit Amanda and weathered, long-suffering fan Ella as we head back to the 90s to reopen the TV show The X-Files! Every week we discuss one episode in chronological order as we rediscover the thrills, chills, and spills of Mulder and Scully's investigations into the paranormal. Hop aboard our flying saucer! New episodes released every Tuesday.
This week we are avoiding our evil doppelgangers while we discuss “Plus One”! We’re talking our love for Dean Cavalier: Attorney at Law, how much Mulder would love Evil Scully, the strange nurses, and confounding bread pills. We wonder exactly how much sleep Scully really needs, doubt that it’s really that much fun playing Hangman that many times, get really excited about the John Wick armory and katana sword collection, and get r...
This week we are on the run from long-dead friends while we discuss “This”! We’re talking the return of Cyber Langly, the Boo Crew suddenly turning into action stars, how we really could have used more of Mulder and Scully handcuffed-together hijinks, Skinner’s boring apartment, and how much Deep Throat hates QR codes. We pitch a ‘Mulder and Scully go to IKEA’ episode, enjoy the escape room vibes, think the episode would be improv...
This week we are doing our very best just to make it through this episode intact while we regrettably discuss “My Struggle III”! We’re talking the episode titles reflecting our increasing struggle to watch these, CSM name drop without any forewarning, Chris Carter’s “Secret Science” AMA, Mulder becoming a noir detective out of nowhere, and how this whole apocalypse thing was just one big joke. We get really excited about the possib...
This week we are trying to stop an apocalypse, develop a world-saving vaccine, locate our long-lost son, and find a good parking spot while we discuss “My Struggle II”! We’re talking Scully’s strange anti-vaxx turn, the tonally bizarre Guy Ritchie fight scenes, Scully being able to stop a riot with just her words, CSM’s return as a cartoon flaming skull, and the fastest-onset apocalypse we have ever seen. We wonder just how quick S...
This week we are taking mushrooms and trying to contact comatose men while we discuss “Babylon”! We’re talking Mulder dancing at the Badonkadonk, how real it is that Skinner’s migraines are caused by Mulder, wonder who exactly Miller and Einstein remind us of, get excited to see cowboy-hatted Lone Gunmen, and get sad that Tom Waits had to be brought into this. We note the excess of both offensive Muslim stereotypes but also Texas ...
This week we are trying to solve the mystery of a coin necklace by our mother’s bedside while we discuss “Home Again”! We’re talking unreuniting with beloved guest actresses as quickly as we reunite with them, Mulder being classic goofy, the Band Aid Nose Man’s hype man deserving all the love in the world, exciting Charlie Scully lore, and take the time to clown on Bill Jr. Just for old time’s sake. We figure out the blender-relate...
This week we are turning from lizard to man and back to lizard again as we discuss “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”! We’re talking the return of Darin Morgan, our long-awaited jokes about Mulder and cell phones, the Kim Manners tribute :( , how much Darin Morgan wants Scully to have a dog, and Smart Phones… Is Us! We welcome back the legendary red Speedo, lightly rib Kumail Nanjiani our (very real) podcast competition, na...
This week we are bleeding from the ears from high-pitched screeching sounds while we discuss “Founder’s Mutation”! We’re talking the return of James Wong, our love for the strangely blase coworker, Gupta From My Phone, Mulder giving off the wrong signals, Scully back on her quaalude habit, and why wristwatch models shouldn’t be evil scientists. We enjoy Skinner’s office redesign, say hello to Abigail from Hannibal and goodbye just ...
This week we are rebooting the show, our careers, and our relationships while we discuss “My Struggle I”! We’re talking the 400th key to the X-Files, whether Annet Mahendru gets a worse fate here or on The Americans, Chris Carter dictating the script for this episode from his yacht, Mulder and Scully both getting younger lovers, and alien tushies. We debate whether Felt Hat Informant sucks or not, get excited about our favorite we...
This week we are swapping heads and bodies willy-nilly while we discuss the 2008 movie “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”! We’re talking poor Scully being Mulder’s publicity agent, the inexplicable George W. Bush alien theme sting, the specter of unsafe driving, Mulder’s scratchy beard, and most importantly, the return of Ellen Bledsoe! We wonder how serious this break-up is supposed to be, wonder at Scully doing all of her stem cell...
This week we are pausing and taking a look back at Season 9 as a whole! We review special features, read emails, rank the episodes, share our thoughts on the season, and play a Seinfeld-related game. We’re talking our growing love for Kim Manners, Vince Gilligan and his awkward khaki pants, IF NO BASEBALL, Reyes being one small pixel of drama, and Doggett’s role in the Korean boy band he will of course be joining now. We theorize a...
This week we are trying to discover the difference between the Seinfeld finale and this X-Files finale while we discuss “The Truth”! We’re talking Gothic heroine Knowle Rohrer, how much Mulder loves his corner, Skinner awkwardly third-wheeling and then being coerced into being Mulder’s lawyer, wonder how ghosts can give away pieces of paper, and get really excited for a second that we would be seeing Normal Hosteen. We spend a lot...
This week we are teleporting into Windows screensavers while we discuss “Sunshine Days”! We’re talking some patented Vince Burnouts, Michael Emerson: TV Royalty joining the show, 0 days since the last Mulder mention, the theme of abandoning kids when they get boring, and what applications Skinner can put his newfound midair flip skills to. We say goodbye to Helium Vince and Kimberly-Arlene :( , wonder if there’s a non-impotent way ...
This week we are wrapping up the second child storyline in as many weeks as we discuss “Release”! We’re talking Scully teaching her class for once and the real reason she’s been avoiding it, Rudolph being able to see shrimp colors, the awkward cycle of weird power moves that never ends, the weird publicity photo of Doggett and his dead son, and how Brad looks like the poster boy of taking bribes from the mob. We all wonder how long...
This week we are foisting our alien children off on unsuspecting Wyoming couples while we discuss “William”! We’re talking how whimsical Doggett is in this one, how unbelievable it is that Spender could beat Doggett in a fight, the hysterical split diopter shot somehow being upstaged by the zooming eyeball shot, and Skinner refusing to shell out for Lab Results Plus. We wonder why they decided to do this to poor Chris Owens, theori...
This week we are wrapping up The Lone Gunmen’s story (and lives) while we discuss “Jump the Shark”! We’re talking the surprising return of Jimmy and Yves, the real reason why Chuck McGill hates Jimmy McGill, that they couldn’t let The Lone Gunmen go without one more shot of Frohike falling face-first in mud, the indignity of Joey Ramone slander, and Yves Adele Harlow's real name drop! We wonder if there will be a Vaping Man i...
This week we are stranding ourselves in a snowy mountain cabin and trying to babysit while we discuss “Scary Monsters”! We’re talking Scully’s zombie horde of a class and how all she wants is just to eat her sandwich, the return of Leyla, the importance of checking your Blood Car Fax report, find out the fate of Mulder’s fish, criticize the verisimilitude of the snow, and enjoy Doggett’s continuing beef with kids. We wonder what th...
This week we are dodging both serial killers and potentially God while we discuss “Improbable”! We’re talking the strangely Italian everything about this episode, how much we adore Ray McKinnon’s scowl, Burt Reynolds’ charm, the lengths Robert Patrick will go to to avoid being in a silly scene, the probably sarcastic clapping circle for Reyes, and the forty-second shot where we all have to pretend Arlene Pileggi is Gillian Anderson...
This week we are avoiding our shadow-selves while we discuss “Underneath”! We’re talking the return of Doggett’s articles, how apparently Scully is the only one around here who can solve cases, how absurd it is that a guy named Damon Kaylor is somehow not the killer, whether the Beardo Weirdo is a Shel Silverstein creation, and workshop “cyclepaths” as a concept. Is this anything? We dunk on Doggett’s old partner Dunk, discuss the ...
This week we are wandering the halls of a ghostly hospital while we discuss “Audrey Pauley”! We’re talking whether or not Doggett could love a cat, if this episode is anti-organ donation, that they’re really forcing the Doggett-Reyes lovelorn gazing, how much we hate Steven and his stupid little pajamas, and how messed up it is that everybody is ready to start chopping up Reyes at a moment’s notice. We side-eye Reyes’ super-real “p...
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
