This week we are on the run from murderous robotic sushi chefs while we discuss “Rm9sbG93ZXJz”! We’re talking unappetizing blob fish dinners, how it’s fair turnaround for Scully to be trapped in a car with a speeding driver, whether this can be considered Ghost in the Machine Part 2, and have a heated debate over whether we like the emoji conductor or not. It nearly comes to blows. We reject the fiction that Scully would have a smarthome, shake our heads because they’re always on their damn p...

S11 E1: "My Struggle III: Still Strugglin'"

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 possibility of Scully transmitting brain morse code, wonder when exa...

S10 E6: "The Man from S.T.R.U.G.G.L.E. II"

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 Scully is able to develop a vaccine, if Teen Willy has a permit...

S10 E5: "Honky Tonk, Babylonkadonk"

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 stereotypes, Dean Haglund going missing in Australia, and...

S10 E4: "Home Again 2: Lost in Philadelphia"

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-related reason why Charlie is estranged from the family, Bill’s stru...

S10 E3: "We're Were-Monsters, Not Swear-Monsters"

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, narrowly avoid embarrassing New Zealand by trying to do Rhy...

S10 E2: "Folger's Mutation"

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 as quickly, smell the distinct whiff of Folger’s coffee commer...

S10 E1: "My (Tad's) Struggle Limo Part 1"

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 websites MindQuad and FinderSpyder, wonder what Tim Robinso...

The X-Files: I Can't Believe It's Not Super-Soldiers (2008)

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 research on Google, debate whether Mulder’s beard is good or ...

(BONUS #12) New Phone, Who Doggett (and Reyes): Season 9 In Decline

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 about a couples therapist qualified enough to deal with all thi...

S9 E19: "We Can't Handle The Truth"

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 of time discussing CSM growing Rapunzel hair, get happy ...

S9 E18: "Sunshine Days of Interest"

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 to shake your fist, try to recall if we know anything about Th...

S9 E17: "Release the Dogs-ett"

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 Amanda can keep up the cold open bit, meet Doggett’s BLONDE-A...

S9 E16: "Sweet Willy"

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, theorize that it was physically impossible to turn Spender into a Su...

S9 E15: "Disembark the Shark!"

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 in Season 11, freak out about these evil airtight fire doors, t...

S9 E14: "The Scary Monsters at the End of This Show"

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 the mysterious grandma is up to this whole time, get indignant o...

S9 E13: "Missione: Improbable"

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. They thought we wouldn’t notice! We derail for a while and t...

S9 E12: "No Sleep Underneath Brooklyn"

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 relationship between necks and stress, theorize that Doggett m...

S9 E11: "The Assassination of Audrey Pauley by the Coward Doctor Priors"

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 “parents” “from Mexico City” (yeah, right!), boo the longest dea...

S9 E10: "A Providence of One's Own"

This week we are chasing alien cults across the Canadian border while we discuss “Providence”! We’re talking Doggett sleeping his way through this entire episode, wondering why on earth Skinner sucks so badly now, shake our heads at everyone suddenly converting to Christianity out of nowhere, lament that Reyes has nothing to do these days, and marvel at the fact that somehow, through it all, Brad is the only one in the cast keeping it real. How did this happen? We posit that Baby William is t...

S9 E9: "A Provenance of One's Own"

This week we are smuggling alien writings on our cool motorcycles while we discuss “Provenance”! We’re talking Neal McDonough’s icy blue eyes, how much we miss Machete Scully, that Elvira should be Kersh’s secretary, how boring Toothpick Man is compared to bad ol’ CSM, trucker zoomies, and that Skinner just kind of sucks now. We reaffirm that you shouldn’t smother your kids with a PSA, object to the word ‘rubbings’, struggle to piece together the plot, and laugh at Doggett getting run over in...
