Episode 4
Show notes
Mulder misses an obvious sexual joke. The hosts wish the real X-Files spinoff would center around the two other bumbling FBI agents featured in this episode.

Ice
Episode 8
Show notes
Trapped in an abandoned research facility, Mulder, Scully and a few other people grapple with a terrifying new organism. It relies heavily on stealth and takes over people one by one so you never know who is under its control...or who will die next. As an homage to John Carpenter's "The Thing," "Ice" is one for the books. A true gem.

Episode 9
Show notes
A bit of a weird one here. Killer trees take vengeance on those who would harm the children of a small town. Sounds like a simple enough premise, but this episode tries way too hard and a lot gets lost in the mix. Mike and Andrew dive into this objectively NOT GOOD episode.

Show notes
Mulder and Scully take on a space ghost! Seriously...what is the motivation of this thing? Bad VFX, whimpering, a story that makes almost no sense...really the only thing missing here is Mulder not having his propeller hat. Mike and Andrew tackle this weird and objectively bad romp at NASA.

Fallen Angel
Episode 10
Show notes
Mulder goes Rambo and sneaks past a government quarantine. The official story is that a train carrying dangerous materials crashed, but Deep Throat has told Mulder otherwise. It was a UFO. Scully is tasked with reigning him in to halt his interference and save his career. Along the way we meet lovable and innocent Max Fennig, an intrepid soul in search of the truth himself with an important, if unknown, history of abduction. The Tacti-cool uniforms and dialogue of the military is on full display here.

Show notes
Without a doubt, this is Andrew's favorite techno-thriller episode. He can't come down from it even during the show. The big question here is...if there's a killer A.I. using a top-secret satellite weapon, how is the government not responding to the events in this episode?!
