    Found this show while I was on my first watch of The X-Files. I was so excited when they announced they were following TXF with Buffy, as I had just finished my first watch of it! Ella and Amanda are so funny, and I love that they don’t take the shows too seriously (like some podcasts do). I look forward to the new eps every week!

    I have laughed out loud so many times while listening to this podcast. I have been a fan of the XFiles since it originally aired and have rewatched it multiple times, but they have pointed out things I missed. Critical thinking and bonkers creative fun plus a real love of the show and each other. It’s a perfect blend!
