Welcome to The eX-Files, an episodic rewatch podcast in which Jenny Owen Youngs & Kristin Russo dig into every episode of The X-Files, spoiler free, one at a time. Jenny grew up watching The X-Files when it aired, but Kristin has only ever seen the pilot episode. (Her review: "hot.") The podcast’s title — The eX-Files spelled with an “e” — is a credit to our relationship: in addition to being longtime business partners, we are also ex-wives. *cue spooky music*

    THE X-FILES ARE RE-OPENED, SMUG BITCHES! Daddy Skinner said let's goooooooo!!

    2.05 Duane Barry | An X-Files Podcast

    The FBI needs someone who can act like aliens are all a bunch of hooey to help get some hostages freed, so they call in the best candidate for the job: Famous Non-Believer Fox Mulder! Also, Scully writes a check for $11.14, the perfect dog from "Ice" is back and no one tells us if he is okay, and C.C.H. Pounder as Agent Kazdin is the best Smug Bitch that we've ever met.

    Re-Broadcast: Buffering the Vampire Slayer's 3.19 "Enemies"

    Re-Broadcast: Buffering the Vampire Slayer's 3.19 "Enemies"

    To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's Season 3, Episode 19: "Enemies," we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with special, beloved guest (and velvet choker owner), Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we also learned that our conversation on "Enemies" also marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies.
    Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead.

    2.03 Blood | An X-Files Podcast

    Beware of your electronics and take special caution if you find any of their screens shortening the word "them" to "'em"!!! We are digging into Season 2, Episode 3 "Blood" in today's episode where Mulder is learning about apple farming, Scully is hiding the lower half of her body behind corpses, and Jenny is attempting to teach Kristin about cryptids...

    2.02 The Host | An X-Files Podcast

    It's a worm, it's a worm, it's a GREAT BIG WORM. Please check your toilets and put out your cigarettes, kids, because a giant flukeworm is on the loose. Flukey was last seen in New Jersey where it reportedly grabbed a slice and then headed south.
    It's Season 2 Episode 2 "The Host" and we apologize, deeply, in advance.

Another hit from the buffering ladies

Jenny and Kristen have created another perfect podcast with deep dives into the Xfiles that investigate how this cult show interacts with the time it was made and the modern day. Big laughs and deep conversations keep me coming back for more

talkofthetown ,

Awesome sound quality

Really fun insights and great rapport

The sound quality is excellent unless it’s a live show which is ruined by the noisy audience, so hopefully they don’t do them anymore

The hosts seem lovely

Roz_roo ,

Love it so much

My favourite podcast is now rewatching one of my all time favourite shows and it is as amazing as I thought it would be. Loving listening to Jenny and Kristin’s takes on all things Mulder and Scully, they are amazing!
