Oh dear, it seems Samantha Mulder also bleeds Baja (read:green goo) and isn’t Samantha Mulder at all. We will have to wait on that game of Stratego. :( 

In better news, Daddy Skinner and Daddy X trade head butts in the elevator — the closest you can *get* to smooching without using your lips!

It’s S2E17: End Game, and we encourage you to bring your parka and your little mittens.

Is it our favorite episode? No. Does it inspire us to compare Dana Scully to Tony Soprano? Yes. Please also join us for Jenny's telling of a scary story about a woman with no face (not to be confused with a woman with two pennies), and Kristin's guess on what MUFON stands for. It's S2E13 "Irresistible" and for once we are immensely happy to report that Scully does *not* get a bath.

This week on The X-Files, Aubrey is a town not a person, John Locke is using the pseudonym “Brian” to be a real dickbag around town, Mulder debates nurture vs nature using the hard-to-argue-with cronch of a sunflower seed, we learn that even women named BJ can be treated poorly, and we witness a stunningly accurate doodle of the Trylon and Perisphere. It’s S2E12, “Aubrey.”

We would prefer to take this week's episode — S2E11 "Excelcis Dei" — and stuff it down a volcano with Bradley Whitford, so that it would either combust from the heat of the lava or the heat of Volcano Bradley's sexiness...but alas, it is our JOB to talk about EACH AND EVERY EPISODE. So, come with us now as we get very, very mad at Fox Mulder.

This week we have a special appearance by special guest LaToya Ferguson who is here to help us discuss one of the most wild(ly bad) episodes of The X-Files to date: S2E10 "Red Museum"! Luckily, this episode was ALSO intended as a crossover with Picket Fences, so we get to talk about Tom Skerritt's mustache! We also get a true gift from the heavens: Scully eating ribs in a white suite and OOPS getting some BBQ sauce on her face... however will she get it off?!?!?!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Red Museum" 1.4/5 Kids As Guinea Pigs

It's not a space bug frozen in ice or an LED bug that only comes out at night, but it IS a fungus that looks like a stalk of asparagus and it WILL use you as its host!!!!!! We are in our casual clothes on remote location in the Pacific Northwest where volcanologist BRADLEY WHITFORD has discovered a new life form and a way to remain looking hot despite (because of??) being covered in volcanic ash! Mulder still finds time to caress Scully's shoulder while dodging mushroom spores! We find LaToya in her volcano-adjacent lair!!! 'Tis Season 2, Episode 9 "Firewalker," so please come on board our cute little yellow helicopter and join us at the Earth's molten core.

Mrs Scully and Papa Scully and Sister Scully are all here this week because DANA HATH BEEN RETURNED! Mulder spends the entire episode sprinting and screaming in search of the truth, Nurse Owens is actually perhaps AN ANGEL, Cigarette Smoking Man gets an actual cigarette slapped out of his actual mouth, and Skinner looks hot, is hot, remains hot. This is a doozy of an episode!! It is Season 2, Episode 8: "One Breath," and we hope you have some tissues to handle the strength of Mulder's beliefs!!!

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's Season 3, Episode 19: "Enemies," we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with special, beloved guest (and velvet choker owner), Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we also learned that our conversation on "Enemies" also marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies.

Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead.

It's a worm, it's a worm, it's a GREAT BIG WORM. Please check your toilets and put out your cigarettes, kids, because a giant flukeworm is on the loose. Flukey was last seen in New Jersey where it reportedly grabbed a slice and then headed south.

It's Season 2 Episode 2 "The Host" and we apologize, deeply, in advance.

WE ARE BACK! In S2E1 "Little Green Men," Mulder is doubting everything he has ever known (when all he should be doubting is how his hair is being styled), Scully is looking like a smitten Angela Chase as she walks through the hallways of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, Jorge is giving us an endlessly epic drawing of a Little Green Man, Kristin becomes obsessed with The Golden Record, and Jenny practices saying her new favorite verb: "roast beefed."

Laya DeLeon Hayes sat down to talk with Kristin all about playing our badass new slayer Indira in Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. We talk about how she has just started watching Buffy for the first time (they had her start with THE BODY?!), how her in-studio relationship with Charisma mirrored many of the ways that Indira and Cordelia relate to each other, her beginnings in the industry as the voice of Doc McStuffins, and our shared interest in getting the answer to the question: is Queen Latifah a Buffy fan?!

The episode in which LaToya Ferguson says we were "really on one."

Spike and Dru are hot and heavy, we've named Anya/Anyanka/Jasper "Janyaska," and Indira does a fake sunlight spell that maybe is fake but is it fake?!?!

It is Slayers: Episode 7, and we have - as always - a lot to say.

We discuss our favorite episodes, our hopes and dreams for The Mothership, and our predictions for what might unfold in Season 2. We also find out how many predictions from Kristin's Crystal Ball were accurate (spoiler: basically all of them)(spoiler: not really), and go deep on our love (Kristin's love) for QUEEQUEG the beloved NASA robot.

You know that feeling when the genetic material you found in an erlenmeyer flask has an extra pair of nucleotides and it simply MUST be extraterrestrial?! This week Mulder is ogling floating alien-man-hybrids suspended in tanks of fluid and working through some of his biggest daddy issues to date while Scully finally gets to believing after the one-two punch of a hot lady scientist at Georgetown and an actual, literal, holy-actual-shit ALIEN FETUS preserved in dry ice. *deep breath* Also, The Smoking Man's filing system has returned, late night phone calls run rampant, there is an ominous man in a crew cut, and The X-Files may be no more....

As though we dreamt it up and then it became reality, the Buffyverse is back, baby. All nine episodes of "Slayers: A Buffyverse Story," written by Christopher Golden and Amber Benson (!!) and performed by an iconic list of Buffy alum (CORDELIA! GILES! SPIKE! ANYA! DRU! TARA!

We've got three lone gunmen, two stopwatches, one extraterrestrial biological entity, and a wild alien-goose chase across the United States. It's Season 1, Episode 17 "E.B.E." and yes it IS remotely plausible that Agent Dana Scully is hot!

Before we began our journey through The X-Files we made a very special "Episode 0" to usher us into a new alien-soaked era. Jenny asked Kristin to tell us everything she knew about the show going in, we played games such as "Comic Book Villain or X-File Of The Week," and Kristin gave us a detailed book report on "the history of aliens." In March, this conversation was only available to those who joined us in the livestream, but now, gentle listeners, it is here for all to enjoy.

In today's episode we learn that Scully has an ex-boyfriend and that Mulder thinks that this means the plot has thickened. We also learn that in the FBI sometimes you carry one (1) loose gun inside of a briefcase, that Scully is a medical doctor (!!!), and that Mulder really cares about Scully and wants to make sure she is safe *single tear*. Also, body swapping. Also, Kristin's new favorite character, Officer Bruskin, is on the scene chewing nicotine gum and being sassy WITH HEART. It's S1E15: Lazarus. Please keep your eyes on the roving tattoo.

This is the one about, according to Jenny Owen Youngs, "that one alien who LOVES to f*ck"! It is also the one where we learn Scully is a horse girl, and also the one with The Kindred, and also the one where we learn that Kristin had to stare down dozens of Precious Moments Figurines in her childhood bedroom, and ALSO the one where we learn that Jenny once found an abandoned shack in the New Jersey woods wallpapered with Playboy cutouts. It is also the one where sex is made scary with a dash of transphobia and a sprinkling of HIV/AIDS, because of course it is. Please join us for Season 1, Episode 14: Gender Bender.

Our incredible listener, Sophie Day, emailed us awhile back about this week's episode of The X-Files, "Beyond the Sea," and the character of Luther Lee Boggs.

Sophie explained that she works as a Capital Mitigation Specialist, which means that she is part of the legal team that represents folks who have already been sentenced to death on their last appeals. She explained, "basically it's my job to tell my client's story. I spend countless hours with my clients, their family, and anyone I can find who knew them before the crime they are convicted of. It is my job to help decision makers (a judge, SCOTUS, or the Governor) see my client as a full person. We do not seek to excuse the crime, but to help the person/people deciding if they should live or die how my clients' lives could have brought them to where they are. My primary goal is to reflect my client's humanity and dignity outward."

We were so excited to bring Sophie into the pod-space for a deeper conversation, and in this bonus episode you will hear her discuss the way that folks in prison, and especially on death row, are portrayed in television and movies — and in this episode in particular!

Noted Gillian Anderson enthusiast Laura Zak joins us in conversation for today's coverage of The X-Files S1E13: "Beyond the Sea,"! We discuss Gillian's hold on generations of queer women, Scully's character finally being given enough emotional room to stretch her legs (and be called "Dana"), the CHEEK CARESS, and Jenny's childhood dream of riding in on horseback to save beautiful women. Something for everyone.

We also have a special segment today in conversation with Sophie Day, a Capital Mitigation Specialist who works with folks on death row, and who sheds some more light on media portrayals of folks on death row and the system itself. We highly encourage you to listen to the full interview, found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86682645

The full conversation with Sophie will also air in the main feed this Friday!

It's not the computer's fault that the Defense Department wants to use technology for evil and that Brad's scruffy mind has to give it a virus to prevent world destruction!! Scruffy minds weren't meant for this sort of thing! HE IS DOING HIS BEST. (*COS voice* Brad... whyyyyyy.) It's S1E7: Ghost In The Machine, and don't worry because the AI survives and now, thirty years later, lives among us. bee boo bee boo bee boo

Is it telekinesis or a poltergeist? Is his name Howard T. Graves or does that acronym actually stand for Howard The Ghost?? Why does Lauren Kyte have two green apples on her mantle?! This week's X-Files is absolutely chock full of shadowy mysteries! While Scully tries to convince Mulder that their car headlights are NOT haunted (they are totally haunted), the rest of us watch as a real angry ghosty blasts through town to protect his secretary/surrogate daughter Lauren Kyte. It's Season 1, Episode 6: Shadows.

Plus plus plus!! In-episode this week we also have the extreme pleasure of speaking with Lisa Waltz, who plays Lauren Kyte!

LaToya Ferguson gives this X-File a scary rating of 1/5 ABNORMAL POST-MORTEM MUSCLE REFLEXES***

***Kristin cautions that her rating would be at LEAST a 2 if you are scared of poltergeists!!!

This week we're going to the state of pizza, attitudes, malls, and Jennys: NEW JERSEY! Mulder is on a (wild) goose chase for the legendary Jersey Devil after learning of some recent woodsy cannibalism, Scully is going on a date with "Rob" after her best friend told her to get a life, and we've got college professors, park rangers, and VERY loud children also in the mix. Most importantly: Scully told her best friend that Mulder was CUTE. (kisssssssss!) It's Season 1, Episode 5: The Jersey Devil.

RUBAAAAAYYYY!!! This week, we will continue to scream Ruby's name at the sky until the extraterrestrials return her to us. Meanwhile, Mulder is puzzling together 0s and 1s in search of his sist— oops I mean Kevin's sister Ruby, Scully is watching Mulder move through the loss of his sist— oops I mean Kevin's sister Ruby, and we all get to hang out at a biker bar and the library. It's Season 1 Episode 4: "Conduit," where we don't have friends, we just have people we like to hang with.

It seems the government is building military planes with UFO technology and our most trusted sources are a very stoned Seth Green and amateur-photographer Ladonna who runs the local diner: The Flying Saucer. Should we heed the mysterious warnings of Deep Throat and stay away from the case? OF COURSE NOT!! NO X-FILE STONE WILL BE LEFT UNTURNED!! It’s Season 1, Episode 2: “Deep Throat” and we are headed to Idaho to wear our Timberlands and have our memories erased.

It's the inaugural episode of The eX-Files, and FBI Agent Dana Scully has been assigned to write field reports on (and become best friends with) Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder. Our first X-File has us going to Bellefleur, Oregon where the Class of '89 simply cannot stay away from the woods, where Scully takes a bath in the dark and gets some mosquito bites, and where Mulder has a f*cking blast losing 9 minutes of that most beloved of universal invariants: TIME!!! Could it be the stinky alien babies?!?!?!

Welcome to The eX-Files, an episodic rewatch podcast in which Jenny Owen Youngs & Kristin Russo dig into every episode of The X-Files, spoiler free, one at a time.

Jenny grew up watching The X-Files when it aired, but Kristin has only ever seen the pilot episode. (Her review: "hot.")

The podcast’s title — The eX-Files spelled with an “e” — is a credit to our relationship: in addition to being longtime business partners, we are also ex-wives. *cue spooky music*

If you can't wait for the pilot episode to air, or if you just love having a blast, please join us for our Official eX-Files Launch Party on Sunday, March 19th at 7pm Eastern — exclusively on Stage Pilot. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10am Eastern: stagepilot.com/exfiles

As a "special gifty" we now bestow upon you our very first episode covering Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as written in comic form and published by Dark Horse Comics! We are two episodes into the journey over on Patreon, so if you'd like more you can use the links below to join us!

This episode we are talking about "The Long Way Home" (Season 8, Issues 1-4) and "The Chain" (Season 8, Issue 5), and we've got a giant Dawn, intense Slayer hellmath, Kristin's opinions on what a Thricewise demon is (three Pennywises, of course), Jenny's yearning for the return of her butterscotch hunk, and so much more.

It's f*cking good to be back in... Scotland?

We also have a new #buffy-comics channel in the Discord, and you can also find Scooby-shared links to these first issues (Season 8 is near-impossible to find in print these days) that are downloadable to use on most comic-reader apps!

Buffy may be off, vacationing in the UK (???) but Angel is still hard at work at a new law firm with some new Sunnydale arrivals...

As a treat, here is the first episode of our sister-pod, Angel On Top, for those of you who might need a little of the Buffyverse in your ears after our departure. Hosted by LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (with a dash of Kristin), it is a very good time and will be here to cover all of Season 5!! In fact, today in the feed 5.02 "Just Rewards" released!

Find all of the Angel goodness right here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/angel-on-top/id1383009934

5.01 Conviction | Scoobies, a new era has arrived. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is dead. Long live Buffy the Vampire Slayer!  And with its ending, so endeth the Buffering the Vampire Slayer/Angel on Top FEUD. But the show must go on, as there is still one more season of Angel left. Which means Angel on Top just has to provide a corker of a return episode. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 premiere "Conviction," a re-pilot of sorts.

Faith is back in Sunnydale and we are feeling dirtier than ever, Nathan Fillion's bangs are the most evil part about Caleb, Spike remembers the entire galloping, warm champagne monologue (vampires, they're just like us!), and a lot of other really hard, really bad shit happens because this is Season 7!  We are LIVE from Chicago's Lincoln Hall this week discussing S7E18: Dirty Girls, with special guests Jess Abbott, Rosemary Maybe, Morgan Lutich, and Alba Daza!

We've got mommy issues, we've got daddy issues, and we've got A LOT OF BULLSHIT! In flashbacks, Spike wants to bring his mom on vacation with Drusilla (lol) and tiny, adorable Robin knocks over a trash can to assist his slayer-mom Nikki. In present day, the power of iTunes 1.0 triggers Spike inside of Robin's cross-laden garage and they FIGHT, while elsewhere Giles behaves like a f*cking asshole. Yes, yes, it is time for Season 7 Episode 17: Lies My Parents Told Me!

We've got a heaping scoop of racism and colonialist bullshit this week, including but not limited to a very troubling (and problematic af!) origin story of the Slayer line! We also have a damn fine performance by Lalaine, a deep dive into the difference between puppets and muppets (unclear), and Buffy being REALLY OUT OF LINE. Yes, that's right, it is Season 7 Episode 15: Get It Done.

Robin Wood is taking Buffy on a date to a hidden restaurant in the alleys of Sunnydale (that makes brandied pears?!), Xander is helping Ashanti pick out the right rope to help tie him up over the Seal of Danzalthar, and the gang has really outdone themselves at home by trying to us a WIRE on Andrew to record The First. Wow. Here we are with Season 7, Episode 14: "First Date."
