Just another fat-sucking, misogynist vampire on the internet for your Thursday! It's Season 3, Episode 6, "2Shy" and all we really have to say is... f*ck off, Virgil!

    The eX Files: The X-Files 3.05 The List

    Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. Apart from Kristin learning more about flies and maggots, nearly everything else that we have to wade through in this episode is wildly problematic! In between racist wardens and horrible prison systems we find a tale of reincarnation (or, transmigration, perhaps?) that is confusing enough to leave even Mulder and Scully confused by the end of the episode. At least Bokeem Woodbine is here! Wheeeeee! It's Season 3, Episode 5, "The List."

    Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. A veritable smorgasbord of both psychics and Buffering jingles converge for one of The X-Files most beloved episodes, S3E4 "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose."

Giovanni Ribisi and Jack Black love to play video games and one of them also likes to BE LIGHTENING AND MURDER PEOPLE?!
