    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!

    Thanks for the pod! While the Scully and Mulder love is fun and the attention to detail is a great way to while away the hours, what I love most is that you two seem like really great friends. I also love how the writers and directors are brought into the overall history and not let off too easy for the dud eps. Good Skinner energy in general 👽👽👽
