Nick (@NickRichWrites) returned to discuss the X Files and COPS crossover, S07E12 "X-Cops". We talk about the show COPS and its legacy, copaganda and The X Files place within cop media, and also just how incredibly funny this episode is.

Returning guest Mikaela (@xalexspark) chatted with us about S07E10/11 "Sein Und Zeit" and "Closure". We share our thoughts about this unconventional approach to an X Files episode and the conclusion of the Samantha Mulder story. We talk protective Scully, Mulder muldering, and "Walk-ins"…whatever that means.

Apologies for the bit of audio issues in this episode.

We bring y'all a busy episode while we wrap up season 6 and talk about Chris Carter's canceled Amazon pilot "The After". We also attempt to explain the season 6 finale and season 7 openers, "Biogenesis" and "The Sixth Extinction". We do some Diana hating, talk brain surgery, and try to list all the nameless characters in "The After".

Allie (@allie_lingren) was dropped off by aliens to talk S06E21 "Field Trip" with us. We talk about Mulder and Scully's hallucinations from a big mushroom and how the episode explores the Mulder and Scully believer/skeptic dynamic in a fresh way. We talk about Scully and Skinner's friendship, Scully's lackluster theory, and Mulder's beleaguered neighbors.

Returning guest Brianda chats about fake marriage shenanigans in S06E15 "Arcadia". We talk American suburbia, professionally undercover annoying Mulder mode, and a delightfully irritated Scully. We also spend some time trying to figure out if Scully or Gillian has ever worn jeans.

New guest Mikaela (@xalexspark) entered into the time loop with us to experience S06E14 "Monday" over and over again. We talk Mulder's Monday from time loop hell, the story of his water bed, fate and free will, and big spender at the expense of his savings Mulder. We also offer some better solutions to the curious ending of this episode.

New guest Allie (@allie_lingren) joined us to chat about death in S06E10 "Tithonus". We get a great Scully story with her patented belief/non-belief, Mulder's extreme boredom and lack of enrichment, the parallels of this episode with "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and the final answer on whether Scully is immortal.

We talked S06E08 "The Rain King" with returning guest Rocío. We talk about the funny/odd vibes of early season 6, loser Mulder, the fan fic type fun of the plot, and all things weird Midwestern weather. We discuss Holman's character 90s vibe compared to how that character works today and laugh a lot, to be honest.

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas in March as Kevin (@droneymitchell) joins us to celebrate Christmas with S06E06 "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas". We have a cheap set and two very special guest stars with Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin. Mulder and Scully are up to their usual co-dependent ways as they spend Christmas Eve in a haunted mansion being psychoanalyzed by ghosts.
