S2E9-- Episode 9: Ascension

S2E15-- Episode 15: Colony and End Game

This week, Mae is at the helm for a not-quite-Syndicate arc two-parter! A shapeshifting alien bounty hunter is after a mysteriously identical cadre of doctors... and oh right, SAMANTHA MULDER IS BACK?? OR IS SHE??? She emerges out of nowhere, and Mulder is on the warpath to figure out just what the hell is going on. We have clones. We have family trauma. We have Skinner being a badass. What more could you ask for? Cohosts: Mae Barnes (she/her) John Watson (they/them) Bill Eldridge (he/him)

S2E14--Episode 14: Red Museum

Wait a minute. Small town? Meat-processing factory floor? Creepy cult? No, this is not a repost or a rerun; it is in fact a completely different episode from Our Town! Indeed, it is a far BETTER episode, because it doesn't have a lot of the racism that made that episode so terrible. Join Mulder and Scully as they investigate a town with a big secret, and a surprise callback to the season finale of season 1! It's pretty good! Cohosts: John Watson (they/them) Bill Eldridge (he/him) Mae Barnes (she/her)

S2E13-- Episode 13: One Breath, pt. 2

Welcome to the second half of our episode on One Breath! This time we go deeper into the conspiracy of the syndicate, the grim reality of what the Cancer Man's life is like, what Skinner's whole deal is about, and the rich vein of Catholicism in Scully's resurrection. It's a good talk, come hang with us! Cohosts: Bill Eldridge (he/him) John Watson (they/them) Mae Barnes (she/her)

S2E12--Episode 12: One Breath, pt. 1

Scully is found alive in a hospital, and nobody-- not even hospital staff-- knows why. Mulder crashes out, and there is a lot of meditation on the metaphysical nature of life and death. This is the first half of our exploration of this episode--more next week!

S2E11--Episode 11: 3

Who ordered all these vampires, because dude, these vampires SUCK. No, really. Mulder, missing his one true bestie Scully, is really sad and decides to go hunt vampires in LA for a bit. Nothing of substance occurs, least of all the X-Files's exploration of the subject of vampirism. There is so much meat left on that bone, and we are SALTY about it. So come listen to 3 weirdos talk about the wasted potential of the episode and yell with us about VAMPIRES. Cohosts: Mae Barnes (she/her) Bill Eldridge (he/him) John Watson (they/them)
