Gen X-Files: a Rewatch Podcast

S1E5 - The Jersey Devil; or, Mulder Goons to Cryptids

On this week’s episode of our rewatch of The X-Files, Melz and Dash (long-time fans and long-time couple) convince Angel (Dash’s mom and first-time watcher) to take a gamble on season one, episode five: The Jersey Devil! We’re talking corrupt tourist traps, mankind’s place in the food chain, and insufferable assholes that gargle gravel. Along the way, we meet the most divorced dad of all time, who spends the episode competing with Mulder in an intense “down bad” competition. Our deck is stacked this week as we witness Ryan Gosling on a cat’s ass, fondly remember Old Pete’s Feet (rest in peace), discuss Mulder’s possible proto-gooner tendencies, and react to the shocking revelation that Scully apparently thinks Mulder is cute. 😲 If you’re reading this, you’re a friend.

We're helped along the way by a very career-driven Gotham City cop who has a... very special place in his heart for Mulder. And speaking of help, we're squeezing in an extra helping of ridiculousness this week. We try to track down Donal Logue's D, examine the immense will-they-won't-they energy between him and Mulder, and ask the most important question of all: How long and skinny do it get?
