We've got astrology, we've got Keystone cops, and we've got a sexy detective taking her shoes off in Mulder's motel room while Scully smokes a cigarette and says "Hate her! Wouldn't wanna date her!!"

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.

We hate that you have to hear it from us, but there are roaches simply EVERYwhere in this episode! In the basement, in your buddy’s makeshift drug lab, in the bathroom, in the motel, even in the poop warehouse. Egads! At least there’s a cute little robot to help take the edge off… and also our new gal pal Dr. Bambi. But let’s face it, this is no place for an entomologist! Today we’re talking about Season 3, Episode 12: War of the Coprophages.

Since the beginning of the series, we’ve been wondering what the limit might be on what Fox Mulder is willing to believe (if the limit does indeed exist)… and in S3E11, “Revelations,” we have found it. Stigmata? Guardian angels?? A fiery-handed demon?! Sorry, Mulder’s filing cabinet is suddenly at capacity! Scully, however, finds herself Wanting To Believe as this episode barrels down a Catholic-adjacent path and she is forced to wonder if she has been chosen by a higher power to protect a young boy in danger.

We have returned to the filing cabinet labeled “X” to discuss a Season 3 two parter: Episode 9, “Nisei,” and Episode 10, “731”! Myth arcs return, Mulder’s hair is reaching peak form, Scully needs PROOF and also is ONE OF THEM, and Skinner’s head shines like the beacon of light he is! Oh and Mr X is back even tho he sweaaaars he cannot get involved, Cigarette Smoking Man smokes, and the train conductor wins the the award for best FBI agent in the series despite not being one.

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.

An episode we didn’t like at all and episode we kinda liked, actually!! Together in one pod we’ve got thoughts on “death by boiling” (sorry), child kidnapping (WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, X-FILES), and perhaps most importantly why Kristin has started to like (some of) this show despite how often she has to yell at it?!

It’s Season 3, Episodes 7 “The Walk,” and Episode 8 “Oubliette.”

PS: A Correction! When Kristin said that Emily St. James wrote X-Files Confidential what she ACTUALLY MEANT was Monsters of the Week.
