Episodes

  1. Episode 11x10 – My Struggle IV

    DJ J-Jon-Jonny-J-Jon joins us for what we all hope to be the final episode of this nightmare Episode 11x10 – “My Struggle IV” in which Mulder and William spend night and day (sometimes in the same scene) killing everyone they can find. Often for no reason at all. Dyson Sphere’s and world ending...

  2. Episode 11x09 – Nothing Lasts Forever

    Join us for Episode 11x09 – “Nothing Lasts Forever” in which we discover what might well be the most inept hour of television ever cobbled together. A former TV star stays young by eating human organs and also occasional sharing a circulatory system with young people that were formerly ugly, a...

  3. Episode 11x08 – Familiar

    Matt is here for Episode 11x08 – “Familiar” in which the characters of a children's show are used by a which for an ill-conceived revenge spell and an even more ill-conceived story about mob justice, or something? Basically everyone’s an asshole and Mulder and Scully only make it worse.

  4. Episode 11x07 – Rm9sbG93ZXJz

    Matt and Chris join us for the Kristen Cloke written Episode 11x07 – “Rm9sbG93ZXJz” wherein Mulder and Scully are menaced by robots because they didn’t leave a tip. Most of it makes very little sense.

  5. Bonus Episode - Color of the Night

    With X-Files on break it’s time for a very special bonus episode 1994’s “Color of Night” in which Bruce Willis steals, fellow psychologist bro, Scott Backula’s life and then has sex with a girl half his age that he cannot recognize with clothes on. We also check-in with old friends Lance…

  6. Episode 11x06 – Kitten

    Ian and DJ Jon J Jnny-J-Jon join us for Episode 11x06 – “Kitten” in which Stingray goes face to tiny face with Haley Joel Osment in a very very convoluted revenge scheme that does not make sense at all. Also we learn about the crafting division of the FBI and check in on Champion of Heroes and...

  7. Episode 11x05 – Ghouli

    Will joins us for Episode 11x05 – “Ghouli” wherein we catch up with Baby William who is a real fucking creep. Also Mulder annoys coffee shop clientele and continues to age into a raisin before our very eyes.

    Mila and Chris join us for Episode 11x04 – “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” in which Darin Morgan returns for kooky antics with his bff Alex Diakun and Reggie Something. We also uncover the most terrifying art ever created. It’s a fun ride.

  9. Episode 11x03 – Plus One

    Jon Pernisek joins us for Episode 11x03 – “Plus One” in which a pair of twins play hangman to create murder doppelgangers of other people to, what can only be described as, limited success. Also Mulder is a creep.

  10. Episode 11x02 – This

    Join us as we endeavor to discuss Episode 11x02 – “This” wherein we eventually work out what the title was in reference to. Who’s Tommy Wiseau-ing the hardest? Does anything happening here make sense? Are we supposed to actually believe somebody had a romantic relationship with Langly?

  11. Episode 11x01 – My Struggle III

    Unfortunately the X-Files is back, fortunately DJ J-Jonny-jon Pope is here to help us discuss Episode 11x01 – “My Struggle III” which is an interesting title considering part II didn’t happen, but apparently neither did a lot of things. But at least American Hero Jeffrey Spender is back in action...

  12. Episode – Case Closed

    We did it! We survived all of the X-Files! Join us for one last time… for now, as we discuss stats, scores, monsters, and upsetting fanfiction.

  13. Episode 10x06 – My Struggle II

    Ian is here to help us discuss the nonsensical final episode of the X-Files, 10x06 – “My Struggle II” wherein Chris Carter still refuses to understand the concept of DNA. Einstein and Miller make desperate attempts to keep the plot going and Joel McHale delivers the worst lines of dialogue ever...

  14. Episode 10x05 – Babylon

    Ian and Michael David join us for 10x05 – “Babylon” an episode about the fears of old white dudes before Herr Trump rode in on his great white horse to save them. Basically Mulder and Scully try to talk to a dead terrorist. It’s absolute garbage.

  15. Episode 10x04 – Home Again

    Michael David is here to help us discuss 10x04 – “Home Again” wherein graffiti OR a sculpture comes alive to thwart people that want to shelter the homeless. Also a prime opportunity for Kristen Cloke is given away to a weirdo that can never fill her shoes.

  16. Episode 10x03 – Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster

    DJ J-Jon-Jonathon and Chris are here to help us discuss the wacky Darin Morgan penned10x03 – “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster” in which an everyday happy lizard-man is cursed by podcast rival Kumail Nanjiani also a cute dog gets snatched!

  17. Episode 10x02 – Founders Mutation

    Chris and Will are here to help us discuss 10x02 – “Founders Mutation” where we are treated to a story about mutants and family that completely falls apart in retrospect. No unlike the whole William plot. Also a cat gets what it deserves.

  18. Episode 10x01 – My Struggle

    Will joins us as we stare into the abyss of Season 10. We say hello and goodbye to poor lil’ Scoops. Meet an Alex Jones metaphor and marvel at the lack of anything happening. Also Scully now spends her time putting ears on kids that don’t have them.

  20. Episode 9x19 – The Truth

    Michael David and Pat join us for 9x19 “The Truth’ as we close out the original run of this show the only way Chris Carter could, with a boring clip show that pretends to put the pieces together but fails to do a damn thing. We learn that Mulder has been bunking with everyone's favorite chess…

    more
  21. Episode 9x18 – Sunshine Days

    Matt is here to help us discuss 9x18 “Sunshine Days’ Where we’ve never been closer to The Truth. It’s the penultimate episode of the X-Files so clearly it’s going to be about The Brady Bunch. Ben Linus is the most pathetic sadsack ever and everyone else is crazy drunk this week.

  22. Episode 9x17 – Release

    Pat joins us to discuss 9x17 “Release’ In which Robert Patrick has all the acting chops. We meet the biggest creep ever and also a mob connected child murderer.

  24. Episode 9x15 – Jump the Shark

    Mila and Will join us for the secret final episode of The Lone Gunmen 9x15 “Jump the Shark’ in which the creators pay more respect to a half-hearted garbage one season spinoff than they ever even thought about doing with Millennium. At least Morris Fletcher is back to scheme and scam.

    Join us for 9x14 “Scary Monsters’ The human equivalent to nails on a chalkboard, Leyla Harrison, returns to ruin everyone’s weekend. Dogget fails his test to join the Federal Bureau of Imagination but succeeds in punching a hole through a man. In the end everyone avoids getting sent to the...

  27. Episode 9x12 – Underneath

    Dan joins us for the wacky adventure 9x12 "Underneath" In which Sheriff Root is so Christian he transubstantiates into an evil Jesus murderer with a screw driver. Also we meet the world's creepiest lawyer and wish Robin Williams had more screen time in the episode.

  28. Episode 9x11 – Audrey Pauley

    Jozie joins us for this jaunt into the Twilight Zone in Episode 9x11 – “Audrey Pauley” Reyes leans an important lesson about drinking and driving and Doggett goes bonkers in his quest to stop the most obvious villain ever. Also Dogs > Cats. #ScienceFact

    more
  30. Episode 9x10 – Providence

    We continue onward with Chris Carter’s last minute half-assery in Episode 9x10 – “Providence" wherein nothing reasonable happens. Teliko helps Scully find secret passages and people possibly try to surf on a spaceship. Also this prophesy makes no sense.

  31. Episode 9x09 – Provenance

    If you like questionable parenting decisions and Chris Carter writing you’ll love Episode 9x09 – “Provenance" in which Damian Dahrke uses his alien totem to try and slowly awkwardly kill Scully’s baby.

  37. Episode 9x03 – Daemonicus

    In Episode 9x03 – “Daemonicus" we learn about all the ways you *could* transition between scenes and then see what happens if you choose the wrong ones.

  41. Episode 8x20 – Essence

    Will, Dan, and Jozie are here for a head choping goodtime in 8x20 "Essence" wherein the all-new alien menace wants to kill a baby either out of fear of a possible would be magic human skygod or because they are susceptible to attack via abstract concepts... also nothing makes sense.
