S1E1 - Pilot; or, the Glow-in-the-Dark Bug Spray Fiasco

S1E7 - Ghost in the Machine; or, Shrimp Jesus does a Tech 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.

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.

Along the way, we watch an 8 year old get perp walked, briefly discuss the dangers of Finger Viagra, witness the first inklings of David Duchovny's crying abilities, and discover what happens when Goo Mulder gets to third base.

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?
