The first television episode in history that Kristin refused to watch a second time!! We've got some bugs, we've got some escaped prisoners, we've got some pustules (which we nearly exclusively refer to as rainbows so that we could survive the conversation), and we've got Chris Carter saying that the "look of this episode is wonderful." Ahhh, yes, 'tis The X-Files S2E22: "F. Emasculata."

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 2.35/5 Chances the Men Who Escaped Are Infected -- and a bonus GROSS Ranking of 5 out of 5 I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE ITs

2.13 Irresistible | An X-Files Podcast Jul 03, 2024

Is it our favorite episode? No. Does it inspire us to compare Dana Scully to Tony Soprano? Yes. Please also join us for Jenny's telling of a scary story about a woman with no face (not to be confused with a woman with two pennies), and Kristin's guess on what MUFON stands for. It's S2E13 "Irresistible" and for once we are immensely happy to report that Scully does *not* get a bath.

2.12 Aubrey | An X-Files Podcast Jun 19, 2024

This week on The X-Files, Aubrey is a town not a person, John Locke is using the pseudonym “Brian” to be a real dickbag around town, Mulder debates nurture vs nature using the hard-to-argue-with cronch of a sunflower seed, we learn that even women named BJ can be treated poorly, and we witness a stunningly accurate doodle of the Trylon and Perisphere. It’s S2E12, “Aubrey.”

We would prefer to take this week's episode — S2E11 "Excelcis Dei" — and stuff it down a volcano with Bradley Whitford, so that it would either combust from the heat of the lava or the heat of Volcano Bradley's sexiness...but alas, it is our JOB to talk about EACH AND EVERY EPISODE. So, come with us now as we get very, very mad at Fox Mulder.

2.10 Red Museum | An X-Files Podcast Jun 05, 2024

This week we have a special appearance by special guest LaToya Ferguson who is here to help us discuss one of the most wild(ly bad) episodes of The X-Files to date: S2E10 "Red Museum"! Luckily, this episode was ALSO intended as a crossover with Picket Fences, so we get to talk about Tom Skerritt's mustache! We also get a true gift from the heavens: Scully eating ribs in a white suite and OOPS getting some BBQ sauce on her face... however will she get it off?!?!?!

It's not a space bug frozen in ice or an LED bug that only comes out at night, but it IS a fungus that looks like a stalk of asparagus and it WILL use you as its host!!!!!! We are in our casual clothes on remote location in the Pacific Northwest where volcanologist BRADLEY WHITFORD has discovered a new life form and a way to remain looking hot despite (because of??) being covered in volcanic ash! Mulder still finds time to caress Scully's shoulder while dodging mushroom spores! We find LaToya in her volcano-adjacent lair!!! 'Tis Season 2, Episode 9 "Firewalker," so please come on board our cute little yellow helicopter and join us at the Earth's molten core.

2.08 One Breath | An X-Files Podcast May 15, 2024

Mrs Scully and Papa Scully and Sister Scully are all here this week because DANA HATH BEEN RETURNED! Mulder spends the entire episode sprinting and screaming in search of the truth, Nurse Owens is actually perhaps AN ANGEL, Cigarette Smoking Man gets an actual cigarette slapped out of his actual mouth, and Skinner looks hot, is hot, remains hot. This is a doozy of an episode!! It is Season 2, Episode 8: "One Breath," and we hope you have some tissues to handle the strength of Mulder's beliefs!!!

Re-Broadcast: Buffering the Vampire Slayer's 3.19 "Enemies" Mar 20, 2024

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's Season 3, Episode 19: "Enemies," we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with special, beloved guest (and velvet choker owner), Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we also learned that our conversation on "Enemies" also marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies.

Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead.

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."

1.24 The Erlenmeyer Flask Nov 22, 2023

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!

"Episode Zero" Aug 30, 2023

Before we began our journey through The X-Files we made a very special "Episode 0" to usher us into a new alien-soaked era. Jenny asked Kristin to tell us everything she knew about the show going in, we played games such as "Comic Book Villain or X-File Of The Week," and Kristin gave us a detailed book report on "the history of aliens." In March, this conversation was only available to those who joined us in the livestream, but now, gentle listeners, it is here for all to enjoy.

In today's episode we learn that Scully has an ex-boyfriend and that Mulder thinks that this means the plot has thickened. We also learn that in the FBI sometimes you carry one (1) loose gun inside of a briefcase, that Scully is a medical doctor (!!!), and that Mulder really cares about Scully and wants to make sure she is safe *single tear*. Also, body swapping. Also, Kristin's new favorite character, Officer Bruskin, is on the scene chewing nicotine gum and being sassy WITH HEART. It's S1E15: Lazarus. Please keep your eyes on the roving tattoo.

1.14 Gender Bender Aug 02, 2023

This is the one about, according to Jenny Owen Youngs, "that one alien who LOVES to f*ck"! It is also the one where we learn Scully is a horse girl, and also the one with The Kindred, and also the one where we learn that Kristin had to stare down dozens of Precious Moments Figurines in her childhood bedroom, and ALSO the one where we learn that Jenny once found an abandoned shack in the New Jersey woods wallpapered with Playboy cutouts. It is also the one where sex is made scary with a dash of transphobia and a sprinkling of HIV/AIDS, because of course it is. Please join us for Season 1, Episode 14: Gender Bender.

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Gender Bender" a scary rating of 2.5/5 Ultimate Sex Magnets

A Death Row Conversation with Sophie Day Jul 28, 2023

Our incredible listener, Sophie Day, emailed us awhile back about this week's episode of The X-Files, "Beyond the Sea," and the character of Luther Lee Boggs.

Sophie explained that she works as a Capital Mitigation Specialist, which means that she is part of the legal team that represents folks who have already been sentenced to death on their last appeals. She explained, "basically it's my job to tell my client's story. I spend countless hours with my clients, their family, and anyone I can find who knew them before the crime they are convicted of. It is my job to help decision makers (a judge, SCOTUS, or the Governor) see my client as a full person. We do not seek to excuse the crime, but to help the person/people deciding if they should live or die how my clients' lives could have brought them to where they are. My primary goal is to reflect my client's humanity and dignity outward."

We were so excited to bring Sophie into the pod-space for a deeper conversation, and in this bonus episode you will hear her discuss the way that folks in prison, and especially on death row, are portrayed in television and movies — and in this episode in particular!

1.13 Beyond the Sea Jul 26, 2023

Noted Gillian Anderson enthusiast Laura Zak joins us in conversation for today's coverage of The X-Files S1E13: "Beyond the Sea,"! We discuss Gillian's hold on generations of queer women, Scully's character finally being given enough emotional room to stretch her legs (and be called "Dana"), the CHEEK CARESS, and Jenny's childhood dream of riding in on horseback to save beautiful women. Something for everyone.

We also have a special segment today in conversation with Sophie Day, a Capital Mitigation Specialist who works with folks on death row, and who sheds some more light on media portrayals of folks on death row and the system itself. We highly encourage you to listen to the full interview, found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86682645

The full conversation with Sophie will also air in the main feed this Friday!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Beyond the Sea" a scary rating of 1/5 Thousands Of Souls Entering My Body

1.06 Shadows May 10, 2023

Is it telekinesis or a poltergeist? Is his name Howard T. Graves or does that acronym actually stand for Howard The Ghost?? Why does Lauren Kyte have two green apples on her mantle?! This week's X-Files is absolutely chock full of shadowy mysteries! While Scully tries to convince Mulder that their car headlights are NOT haunted (they are totally haunted), the rest of us watch as a real angry ghosty blasts through town to protect his secretary/surrogate daughter Lauren Kyte. It's Season 1, Episode 6: Shadows.

Plus plus plus!! In-episode this week we also have the extreme pleasure of speaking with Lisa Waltz, who plays Lauren Kyte!

LaToya Ferguson gives this X-File a scary rating of 1/5 ABNORMAL POST-MORTEM MUSCLE REFLEXES***
***Kristin cautions that her rating would be at LEAST a 2 if you are scared of poltergeists!!!
