345, "The X-Files: Season 9 (feat. Wesley Mead)"

The truth is out there, or so we've been told. As Paul, Arlo, and special British guest Wesley "Wezzo" Mead reach The X-Files season 9 and find the series' original finale "The Truth," they wonder if they should have just left it out there. Despite ostensibly having new leads in Doggett and Reyes, Chris Carter & Co. cling to Scully and Mulder--the former is a bored-looking recurring character, the latter is literally no longer on the show--harder than ever before. The gang discusses why Carter's inability to let go of the show's past hinders its present, how the character of Dana Scully is destroyed, and whether or not "The Truth" is truly one of the worst series finales in TV history. (Spoiler: it is.) Plus, Arlo and Paul get down with killer clowns with Terrifier and Deadpool 2. Next: Arlo's getting hitched! Gobbledygeek will return in June.   THE BREAKDOWN 00:19:49 - Intro / Banter 01:37:30 - Main Topic 01:42:46 - Outro / Next Week
