  • Great podcast for fans!

    Love this intelligent, funny, and delightful podcast about my favorite show. I was a longtime superfan of the show in my youth, and I've recently returned to rewatch and remember what I loved so much about Mulder and Scully. Annie and Jenn are like the old Phile friends I'd talk with in chat rooms, email listservs, and at fan gatherings (in my case, Scully Marathons). I'm grateful they're here doing this, and I'm eagerly working my way through the back catalog. Thanks so much for what you do!

  • Hilarious and amazing!

    Annie & Jenn forever have my X Files loving heart! They are so knowledgeable about the show and all the details that I love listening to them analyze. I’ve been listening to them for years now and have heard all episodes several times. Each re-listen makes me LOL all over again! They’re a terrific pair and their commentary keeps me entertained to no end. Keep the MSR coming, ladies! And more lists, please!
