    The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 5 Episodes 11 & 12: “Kill Switch” & “Bad Blood”
    The truth is out there. In here? Who knows. But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out.
    This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) get into too goofy episodes of “The X-Files” that somehow both prominently feature an RV. First, in “Kill Switch,” Mulder and Scully try to take on a ridiculous A.I. with a sick sense of humor. Then, in “Bad Blood,” we get a recounting of a fateful trip to a small Texas Town, with vampires and an occasionally buck-toothed Luke Wilson to boot.
    Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 5, Episodes 13 & 14, “Patient X” & “The Red and the Black.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
    About The Bloom Files…
    Married couple Mike and Angela Bloom travel to the FBI basement to crack open The X-Files. Every week, the two cover a single or group of episodes of the influential sci-fi series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, which Angela has seen many times, but Mike has never. They’ll bring their different perspectives to this first watch/rewatch of Mulder and Scully’s adventures as the podcast goes hopping through the show’s first nine seasons.

    Though ’tis the season to be jolly, this week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) are getting solemn this holiday season. They talk about “Christmas Carol” and “Emily,” the dramatic two-part arc that sees Scully discover how important, and surprising, family can be.

    This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) don Cher wigs and FCC buttons as they discuss two quirky episodes from the beginning of The X-Files season 5. “Unusual Suspects” takes us back to 1989 to see the series of unfortunate events that brought the Lone Gunmen together. Then, they get into Angela’s personal favorite X-Files episode, “The Post-Modern Prometheus,” a Frankenstein tale that’s far from black and white.

    This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) talk about heated conversations and icy alien bodies as they discuss the season 4 finale “Gethsemane,” as well as the two-part season 5 premiere “Redux” and “Redux II.” It’s a trio of episodes that changes what (and whether) to believe as we near the halfway point of the series.

    This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) get into two separate, yet eerily similar episodes of The X-Files season 4. In “Zero Sum,” Skinner finds himself in too deep on the deal he made with the Cigarette Smoking Man. And in “Demons,” Mulder wakes up with a grainy memory, somebody’s blood on his shirt, and a lot of questions.

    This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) recap two very different, yet dark episodes of The X-Files season 4. First, in “Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man,” they get into the supposed history of everyone’s favorite cancerous antagonist. And in “Paper Hearts,” Mulder revisits a perverted blast from the past to try and get some answers about his missing sister.

Then, they head to a cult in Tennessee to get into some dramatics involving past lives.
