Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast Scully Nation Pod

This week we are trying to find our alien-abducted old partner and throwing water in the face of our new partner while we discuss “Within”! We’re talking Mark Snow really banging on those pots and pans, how Falling Guy has turned into Mulder, Scully in her depression-beard era, how Skinner is doing everything humanly possible to get Scully not to be mad at him anymore, and how Kersh is back! That’s right, the true hater is back in the building. We theorize whether there’s been a third agent w...

This week we are pausing and taking a look back on Season 7 as a whole! We unpack some special featies, do episode rankings, read some listener emails, do some predictions for the future, and play some trivia! Topics of discussion: Tea Leoni’s giant rhinestone cross necklace, Gillian fully in director mode, whether or not Mulder will be Alien Skyping into Scully’s OBGYN appointments, our new favorite crew member the bug wrangler, urban legends, our abiding love for Machete Scully, and our nee...

This week we are catching a ride on a UFO to keep track of our best guy while we discuss “Requiem”! We’re talking CSM in his deathchair, the return of everyone’s favorite plot thread (the expenses storyline), our charisma-less girl Marita making her lackluster return, how the real X-File is the mystery of Skinner’s doors, how much Scully enjoys Mulder punching people, and big, big babies. We note how all journeys end in spooning, whether or not we would listen to Marita’s podcast, decide that...

This week we are trying to outsmart a genie while we discuss “Je Souhaite”! We’re talking this episode chock-full of Classic Vince Guys, Small Mouth, whether or not the Boo Crew has groupies, the return of Scully’s Silly Science Corner, proto-Badger and Skinny Pete, and poor Gillian still in debt from mime school. We rage against Scully’s evidence theft-related PTSD, figure out lip protection, do more Vince impressions that are getting farther and farther away from reality, and discuss bugs t...

This week we are accidentally following our long-lost twins around the country while we discuss “Fight Club”! We’re talking Uncanny Valley Mulder and Scully, how something horrible must have happened to Mark Snow this week to produce this music, glasses that are just made for breaking, whether non-fraternal siblings are even a thing, and how a sewer cyclone took Mulder from us. We wonder what exactly they were trying to do with Argyle, wish we’d got more sewer adventures (maybe or maybe not i...

Welcome back to Mulder Nation! This week we are heading out on our yearly father-son bonding road trip while we discuss “An Ice Capade to Remember”! We’re talking how everything is topsy-turvy this week, Mulder and the Cigarette Smoking Man are on their father-son bonding trip, 2-person curly straws, how we wish Scully would just stop calling Mulder all the time, Bizarro Skinner, parking motivation, and of course the SPE (Sports Per Episode) quotient. We’re just asking for a reasonable price ...
