Tuning In Episode 64: The X-Files, Revelations/War of the Coprophages

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
