The X-Files @ 30: Commentary Track - Detour (ft. Frank Spotnitz) Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

The Truth is in Here...
Welcome back to THE X-CAST: AN X-FILES PODCAST as we continue a month of celebrations as The X-Files hits the grand old age of 30!
Almost the hosts assemble - Tony Black, Kurt North & Sarah Blair - for a special commentary track for Season 5 episode, 'Detour'.
They are joined by the enormously special guest that is... Frank Spotnitz!
He returns to the podcast to sit and enjoy the episode with us (one has never previously done a commentary for), reminisce, tell us stories about production, and give his thoughts about what it means for the show to hit 30 years.
So get the episode set up, wait for Kurt to give you the signal, sit back... and enjoy!
