Show notes

It's a worm, it's a worm, it's a GREAT BIG WORM. Please check your toilets and put out your cigarettes, kids, because a giant flukeworm is on the loose. Flukey was last seen in New Jersey where it reportedly grabbed a slice and then headed south.

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. It's Season 2 Episode 2 "The Host" and we apologize, deeply, in advance.

Edgar Hoover Building, Jorge is giving us an endlessly epic drawing of a Little Green Man, Kristin becomes obsessed with The Golden Record, and Jenny practices saying her new favorite verb: "roast beefed."

The eX-Files: The X-Files 1.24 The Erlenmeyer Flask Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. You know that feeling when the genetic material you found in an erlenmeyer flask has an extra pair of nucleotides and it simply MUST be extraterrestrial?! This week Mulder is ogling floating alien-man-hybrids suspended in tanks of fluid and working through some of his biggest daddy issues to date while Scully finally gets to believing after the one-two punch of a hot lady scientist at Georgetown and an actual, literal, holy-actual-shit ALIEN FETUS preserved in dry ice. *deep breath* Also, The Smoking Man's filing system has returned, late night phone calls run rampant, there is an ominous man in a crew cut, and The X-Files may be no more....

Please join us for the season finale of The X-Files: The Erlenmeyer Flask!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "The Erlenmeyer Flask" 1/5 Trust... Trust... No One

The eX-Files: The X-Files 1.22 Born Again Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. Just when you thought you had all the smug bitches you could handle, eight-year-old Michelle (who Kristin lovingly refers to as "Elizabeth") is here to hauntingly peek through your windows, explode your fishtanks, and electronically add the correct moustache to your enhance machines. We are back in the filing cabinet this week with "Born Again," where the most important uncovered truth is how great Maggie Wheeler looks in a vest and how much we assume Scully wants to smooch her.
