    The eX-Files: 2.10 Red Museum | An X-Files Podcast

    This week we have a special appearance by special guest LaToya Ferguson who is here to help us discuss one of the most wild(ly bad) episodes of The X-Files to date: S2E10 "Red Museum"! Luckily, this episode was ALSO intended as a crossover with Picket Fences, so we get to talk about Tom Skerritt's mustache! We also get a true gift from the heavens: Scully eating ribs in a white suite and OOPS getting some BBQ sauce on her face... however will she get it off?!?!?!
    Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Red Museum" 1.4/5 Kids As Guinea Pigs
    Time Stamps for Picket Fences Spoilers: 37:06 - 43:45

    The eX-Files: 2.09 Firewalker | An X-Files Podcast

    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

    The eX-Files: 2.08 One Breath | An X-Files Podcast

    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."

    The eX-Files: 2.06 Ascension | An X-Files Podcast

    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 eX-Files: 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.

Nom my slot

Been a fan of Kristin and Jenny for years now, undeniable chemistry and charisma with these two heightening the TV review experience

10/10 no notes

I’ve been listening to Buffering since 2018 and love it so much. Come for immolation watch, stay for the sexual tension awards. Also, the songs are so good. I love that the episodes are 90 min and appreciate the thoughtfulness as much as the hilarity.

Gelato1976 ,

Love this pod!

I’m a huge X-Files fan from way back when and I just discovered this podcast! Thanks to the hosts for making me laugh while I relive one of my fav shows ever.
