This week we are wrapping up the entire show as a whole and bidding a fond farewell to The X-Files! We’re talking our favorite Mulder episode, favorite Scully episode, favorite Skinner episode, favorite Lone Gunmen episode, favorite Doggett/Reyes-era episode, best comedy episode, best human monster, best creature, best practical effects, favorite MSR moment, favorite underrated episode, favorite writer, favorite director, 10 best (and worst) episodes, and more! We also have a March Madness-style villain face-off, and the winner truly came out of nowhere and surprised us both. Goodbye Scully Nation, but we’ll be back in January as Sunnydale Nation covering Buffy! See you then!

This week we are discussing Evolution (2001) with special guests Courtney and Hannah from That Nostalgia Show! We’re talking the dubious educational value of the movie, the strangely stacked cast, the painful 2001-ness of it all, and debate the relatability of Julianne Moore’s character. We wonder when we as a society stopped mooning, second-guess David Duchovny’s career decisions, laugh at the US-centrism, and desperately try to find any bright spots among all this alien goo.

This week we are taking a look back at seasons 10 and 11 (whether we want to or not) for our revival series wrap-up episode! We rank the episodes, read some emails, and cast our own reboot series. We’re talking the surprising relevance of War of the Worlds (2025), when and where to deploy the Darin Morgan missile, keeping up with the Fluke Man, trading card ASMR, that it’s impossible to kidnap Doggett, whether or not we have to read Perihelion, and love on Rhys Darby just a little more for the road.

This week we are talking about the X-Files series finale as we jump into “My Struggle IV”! We’re talking half-good half-evil William, how impotent the threat to shut down the X-Files is by now, Mulder massacring a bunch of people, when it’s appropriate to Ghouli out, Scully’s sudden and inexplicable change of heart about her son, and Skinner’s exciting turn as the Wicked Witch of the East in Wicked 2. We celebrate the ride-or-die sister, tell Mulder he can’t just go for the hug after 16 years of being an absent father, wonder where DEATH WILL HUNT YOU DOWN came from, and try to get on Skinner and Kersh’s FBI Baddies group chat. In the wise words of William/Jackson: And then, I just kind of became a criminal.

Also, we make a very exciting announcement about what’s coming next!

Note: Please send us Season 10 and Season 11 questions by October 31 for our revival wrap-up episode!

This week we are tracking down our sister in her organ-licking cult while we discuss “Nothing Lasts Forever”! We’re talking how much we don’t care for Juliet and her discount-Daredevil energy, how we want more of the random mountainous Swedish agent who got one minute of screen time, GOUT, that it would be better if Tara were leading this blender cult, and that church would be improved by some pepperoni communion. We debate whether we’re into Barbara or not, wish better things for Jere Burns, search desperately for an “I’m joining a cult” Hallmark card, and wave goodbye as Scully goes sailing down that elevator shaft. Yeah, it’s weird, but this is da Bronx!

This week we are conjuring up terrifying children’s cartoon creatures while we discuss “Familiar”! We’re talking how off-putting these Bibbletiggles are, the single cop and his romantic endeavors in town, Tim Burton children running all over the place, and the spare from Monk showing up. We debate whether or not we’re fans of Mr. Chuckleteeth, propose Wolfote as an alternate cooler name for the Coywolf, discover that bullying just works, and think this whole case would have been solved so much quicker if Doggett was on the scene.

This week we are on the run from murderous robotic sushi chefs while we discuss “Rm9sbG93ZXJz”! We’re talking unappetizing blob fish dinners, how it’s fair turnaround for Scully to be trapped in a car with a speeding driver, whether this can be considered Ghost in the Machine Part 2, and have a heated debate over whether we like the emoji conductor or not. It nearly comes to blows. We reject the fiction that Scully would have a smarthome, shake our heads because they’re always on their damn phones, enjoy all the Nighthawks references, and rate all the drones from most cute to least. The one thing we can all agree on, though. You suck, Mr. Phone.

This week we are going AWOL and hunting down our old Vietnam buddies while we discuss “Kitten”! We’re talking how they really could have come up with a cooler evil-project name than MK NAOMI, that Kersh is back: meaner and balder than ever, how Mulder and Scully’s main character disease is really turning terminal, and that Skinner might as well give up entirely about having any career anymore. We admire Skinner’s turn on the cover of LL Bean, learn what a petard is, tell Mulder and Scully to get back there and pull Skinner out of that hole, question why Haley Joel Osment is in this, and wonder what exactly is so funny about losing five teeth. Hilarious! Kersh’s love language: sending lackeys to do his dirty work.

This week we are tracking down our long-lost son while we discuss “Ghouli”! We’re talking Detective Saw, Ghouli fanfiction, the continuing Ford car commercial, birthday boys, and Mulder and Scully’s son surprisingly being a bit of a player. We get sad about Scully’s monologue, think we might also make up an urban legend if we had mind powers, ask whether Mulder could have come up with a better coffee-shop persona than “Bob”, and wave goodbye as Jackson/William and Ghouli drive off on their cross-country road trip. They grow up so fast! New T-Shirt idea for Mulder: I’m not the stepfather, or the father who stepped up. I’m just kind of the guy who’s there.

This week we are sorting through our faulty collective memories while we discuss “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”! We’re talking the Mandela/Mengele effect, how dangerous it is to hold Scully up when she’s hangry, the return of Chuck, Mulder’s Squatchin’ outfit, and how troubled we are by this episode’s erasure of the true Reggie. We won’t stand for it! We note how terrifying it is to hear “Let me show you this quick video”, how Po-Co is never going to happen, the bloodcurdling screams of Megamind aliens, how much of an impact Teso Dos Bichos had on the crew, and whether or not this episode is eating the Jell-O. We’re also thinking this Mulder guy might finally have a chance with Scully now that Reginald Murgatroid is out of the picture!
