The eX-Files: An X-Files Rewatch Podcast Realm

It's not a space bug frozen in ice or an LED bug that only comes out at night, but it IS a fungus that looks like a stalk of asparagus and it WILL use you as its host!!!!!! We are in our casual clothes on remote location in the Pacific Northwest where volcanologist BRADLEY WHITFORD has discovered a new life form and a way to remain looking hot despite (because of??) being covered in volcanic ash! Mulder still finds time to caress Scully's shoulder while dodging mushroom spores! We find LaToya in her volcano-adjacent lair!!! 'Tis Season 2, Episode 9 "Firewalker," so please come on board our cute little yellow helicopter and join us at the Earth's molten core.
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Firewalker" 1.5/5 Seriously, We *Still* Have “Ice” At Homes

Mrs Scully and Papa Scully and Sister Scully are all here this week because DANA HATH BEEN RETURNED! Mulder spends the entire episode sprinting and screaming in search of the truth, Nurse Owens is actually perhaps AN ANGEL, Cigarette Smoking Man gets an actual cigarette slapped out of his actual mouth, and Skinner looks hot, is hot, remains hot. This is a doozy of an episode!! It is Season 2, Episode 8: "One Breath," and we hope you have some tissues to handle the strength of Mulder's beliefs!!!
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "One Breath" 1/5 Controlled Slides That Would Make Elena Gilbert Proud

VAMPIRES?! Scully is gone ONE WEEK and we have VAMPIRES!?!?! With veterinary needles!??!
Join us as we discuss how normal the name Kristen is when spelled with an "E," our outrage at John The Son's inability to wipe his mouth off after feeding or clean under his fingernails, the proper way of shaving someone else when you do not own any mirrors, and how deeply Mulder enjoyed being yanked out of a sunroof by none other than the Unholy Spirit herself. It's time for Season 2, Episode 7, "Blood" SORRY NOPE we meant "3."
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "3" 1.75/5 Writings On The Wall Written In The Victim’s Blood

THE X-FILES ARE RE-OPENED, SMUG BITCHES! Daddy Skinner said let's goooooooo!! Also: Scully is somewhere in the sky, Mulder's hair has one fleeting non-duckling moment while drenched in rain, and Duane Barry answers the question on all of our minds — "Who took Scully?" — very clearly: THEMMMMMMM!

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.
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Duane Barry" 1.5/5 Psychopaths Who Took a Bullet in the Head
