Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast

• S9 E13: "Missione: Improbable"

  This week we are dodging both serial killers and potentially God while we discuss “Improbable”! We’re talking the strangely Italian everything about this episode, how much we adore Ray McKinnon’s scowl, Burt Reynolds’ charm, the lengths Robert Patrick will go to to avoid being in a silly scene, the probably sarcastic clapping circle for Reyes, and the forty-second shot where we all have to pretend Arlene Pileggi is Gillian Anderson. They thought we wouldn’t notice! We derail for a while and try to figure out what NUMB3RS is about, throw tomatoes at all the bad lip-syncing, talk about how important it is for serial killers to name themselves, and feel a ghost walk over our graves about a terrifying deleted scene. We all dodged a bullet.Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

• S9 E12: "No Sleep Underneath Brooklyn"

  This week we are avoiding our shadow-selves while we discuss “Underneath”! We’re talking the return of Doggett’s articles, how apparently Scully is the only one around here who can solve cases, how absurd it is that a guy named Damon Kaylor is somehow not the killer, whether the Beardo Weirdo is a Shel Silverstein creation, and workshop “cyclepaths” as a concept. Is this anything? We dunk on Doggett’s old partner Dunk, discuss the relationship between necks and stress, theorize that Doggett might solve more cases if he covered himself in sticky tape and carried around a big net, and notice that these New York accents are getting stronger by the second. And remember: I’m not rich, my parents are. That’s why I’ve inherited their giant mansion in Brooklyn :)Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

• S9 E11: "The Assassination of Audrey Pauley by the Coward Doctor Priors"

  This week we are wandering the halls of a ghostly hospital while we discuss “Audrey Pauley”! We’re talking whether or not Doggett could love a cat, if this episode is anti-organ donation, that they’re really forcing the Doggett-Reyes lovelorn gazing, how much we hate Steven and his stupid little pajamas, and how messed up it is that everybody is ready to start chopping up Reyes at a moment’s notice. We side-eye Reyes’ super-real “parents” “from Mexico City” (yeah, right!), boo the longest death scene in TV history, count down the days until we see our beloved Ellen Bledsoe again, and celebrate Reyes becoming Falling Guy. You wouldn’t download a DVD, unless you’re in Antarctica.Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

• S9 E10: "A Providence of One's Own"

  This week we are chasing alien cults across the Canadian border while we discuss “Providence”! We’re talking Doggett sleeping his way through this entire episode, wondering why on earth Skinner sucks so badly now, shake our heads at everyone suddenly converting to Christianity out of nowhere, lament that Reyes has nothing to do these days, and marvel at the fact that somehow, through it all, Brad is the only one in the cast keeping it real. How did this happen? We posit that Baby William is the Boss Baby prophesied in scripture, wonder if Mulder is finally fulfilling Clyde Bruckman’s prophecy, figure that Father McCue is somehow to blame for all of this, and struggle to understand what exactly the show is saying about aliens and religion these days. Does anyone understand? I’m Episcopalian! I don’t get it!Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

• S9 E9: "A Provenance of One's Own"

  This week we are smuggling alien writings on our cool motorcycles while we discuss “Provenance”! We’re talking Neal McDonough’s icy blue eyes, how much we miss Machete Scully, that Elvira should be Kersh’s secretary, how boring Toothpick Man is compared to bad ol’ CSM, trucker zoomies, and that Skinner just kind of sucks now. We reaffirm that you shouldn’t smother your kids with a PSA, object to the word ‘rubbings’, struggle to piece together the plot, and laugh at Doggett getting run over in a really silly way.Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!
