We visit the Chinatown of Vancouv–we mean, San Francisco, in “Hell Money”. Then, Darin Morgan gives us his last episode (well, until 2015) with “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”. Plus! Eric really wants a piece of sweet potato pie. iTunes RSS

Tuning In Episode 67: The X-Files, Pusher/Teso Dos Bichos
Vince Gilligan pens his second X-FIles episode, “Pusher”, and it’s… okay? Then, in “Teso Dos Bichos”, the show falls down a well. Plus! Richard is very excited for “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 66: The X-Files, Piper Maru/Apocrypha
We get another mythology two-parter, but this one is less about shocking revelations and more about emotional growth, as Mulder and Scully work to figure out the events of “Piper Maru” and “Apocrypha.” iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 65: The X-Files, Syzygy/Grotesque
Chris Carter does his own version of a Darin Morgan episode with “Sygyzy”, and Howard Gordon does his own version of a season one episode with “Grotesque”. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 64: The X-Files, Revelations/War of the Coprophages
“Revelations” is a spiritual successor (literally) to season one’s “Beyond the Sea”, as Mulder and Scully swap places. Then, Darin Morgan returns with “War of the Coprophages”, a delightfully deep and goofy episode about killer cockroaches. Yes, you read that right. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 63: The X-Files, Nisei/731
The X-Files gives us the rapidly-becoming traditional midseason mythology two-parter with “Nisei” and “731”, and it also doesn’t give us much new information or answer any questions, but it’s certainly gripping! iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 62: The X-Files, The Walk/Oubliette
The X-Files gets postmodern this week in “The Walk” and “Oubliette”, two episode of the show that are more interested in being about The X-Files than about their plot. But hey, we’re extremely okay with this! iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 61: The X-Files, The List/2Shy
The X-Files gets somewhat political this week in “The List”, and in “2Shy”, you whippersnappers that listen to this podcast get to experience the internet circa 1996. iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 60: The X-Files, D.P.O./Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
A young Jack Black and a young Giovanni Ribisi guest star in “D.P.O.”, and a older Peter Boyle guest stars in “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose”. Also! What is the best pie? iTunes RSS
Tuning In Episode 59: The X-Files, The Blessing Way/Paper Clip
We kick off season three of The X-Files by talking about the two (three?) parter “The Blessing Way” and “Paper Clip”. It’s exciting, dramatic, a little cheesy, but leaves us really excited for this season. iTunes RSS
