Gen X-Files: a Rewatch Podcast

S1E9 - Space; or, Gen X-Files Celebrates 2 Milleniums!

This week on our rewatch of The X-Files, grab your best ancient Roman wine and moonwalk your way though season 1, episode 9: Space with us! Join Dash & Melz (long-time fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher, Dash's mom) as we look back fondly on our first 2000 years of podcasting! It's not all fun and games this week, though, as Mulder meets his biggest hero only to find that he's just a flawed human (alien?) being just like anyone else. Mom spills so many secrets this week, everything from the truth about Santa Claus, to Dash's real dad, and the real story behind how Mulder and Scully "blammed the clam". Along the way we also uncover more about Mulder's anti-animal astronaut activism, discover Michael Jackson's space explorer era, and dig through Mulder's alien porn collection.

S1E8 - Ice; or, One Man's War on Poop Jars

In this week's episode of our rewatch of The X-Files, we're zipping up our best winter coats and heading to Alaska for season 1, episode 8: Ice! Come stay warm with Dash & Melz (long-time fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher and Dash's mom) as we discuss Mulder being in a paranoia-off, ponder the dangers of scientific discovery, and watch one man spiral into poop-jar-induced madness. Along the way, we see every genre of Scully, from tender and sapphic, to literally pointing a gun at the one person she trusts, and everything in-between. So boot up your copy of John Carpenter's The Thing, rub some ketchup on your nipples, and strap in for over 2 hours of weirdness. If you're reading this, you're a friend.

S1E7 - Ghost in the Machine; or, ChatGPT does a Murder

This week in our rewatch of The X-Files, we're frantically installing antivirus software as we download season one, episode seven, Ghost in the Machine! Join Dash & Melz (longtime fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher, Dash's mom) as we try to find out what the hell's going on in the Eurisko building. We're talking grandparents and AI slop, speculative tech, and Scully committing crimes against markers and computer screens alike. Mulder has a rough one this week, depending on Scully to save his ass (again) and learning that even if you do everything right, a corrupt system can still make you hurt the person you're trying to help. Along the way, we're joined in our endeavors by a guy that mom can smell through time and all our homies hate, watching Scully get dirty as she's sucked and blown, and discussing the TRUE origins of X-Hamster!

S1E6 - Shadows; or, The X-Files Does Corporate Terrorism

This week in our rewatch of The X-Files, Dash & Melz (long-time fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher, Dash's mom) are dusting off an old hidden floppy disk and updating our résumés for season one, episode six: Shadows! We're talking workplace tension, a bipolar boss that bears a striking resemblance to Herman Munster, and an early spotting of our boy Tom Braidwood. We also figure out why Scully is always missing out on cool paranormal stuff - spoiler, it's her tiny little legs. Along the way, we're being haunted by impossible ladder situations, breaking into an impromptu X-Files-themed rendition of the Fresh Prince theme, and circling back to the fact that Mulder would totally ask if you've got games on your phone.

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.
