  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

XFD Encore: Chris Carter on "Fight the Future"
Q: Why was Mulder and Scully's almost-kiss kept as a cliffhanger rather than an immediate kiss in the film?
It was a moment of restraint that aligned with the characters' history and the show's tone, creating a dramatic cliffhanger that would satisfy long-time fans while leaving room for development in later content.
XFD Encore: Frank Spotnitz Interview
Q: What were your thoughts on the fan reception to the Doggett era and the later seasons?
They acknowledge mixed reactions but praise the performances and how the changes allowed growth, noting that some fans appreciated the emotional journeys even if the original dynamic was disrupted, and that later revisits have contextualized those choices more favorably.
XFD Encore: Frank Spotnitz Interview
Q: How did you approach delaying the Mulder-Scully romance to avoid ruining the show?
The guests describe a conscious, ongoing tension from the start, with decisions made to preserve the core dynamic and the show's mystery, including early choices to keep Scully skeptical and to withhold romantic fulfillment for as long as the narrative allowed.
X-Files Diaries: 161A Unnatural Requiem (Part 1)
