Beyond Buffering: The X-Files, Fallout, Yellowjackets, & more!

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free.

Today we meet the very first X-File, opened in 1946 in Montana, and party with werewolves, taxidermy, and horses. We also have a big conversation about what (always) happens when non-Native writers tell stories about Indigenous communities. Spoiler alert: it ain’t great!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Shapes" a scary rating of 1.5/5 Awooos

It is time for a Big Tent Revival where Mulder will run after the image of his sister while Scully does her best to prove that no miracles happened in the state of Tennessee. Meanwhile, many grasshoppers will feast on potatoes and a Sheriff will lie to his Checkov's Wife. It's Season 1, Episode 18: Miracle Man.

It is time to meet dad at the aquarium where he can tell you that, just like the little FBI shark that you are, you mustn't stop swimming! 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!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "E.B.E." a scary rating of 2.75/5 Governments Within A Government

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 of The eX-Files, we are covering Season 1, Episode 16 “Young At Heart,” which includes a large amount of winking, groaning, and kissy noises from a hardened criminal in love with Mulder (and his ultimate demise), flirting via handwriting analysis, and a young and vibrant salamander hand.

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Young At Heart" a scary rating of 1/5 Funerals for Fox's Friends

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.

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Lazarus" a scary rating of 1/5 Love Affairs I Almost Envy
