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.
