THE X-FILES ARE RE-OPENED, SMUG BITCHES! Daddy Skinner said let's goooooooo!! Also: Scully is somewhere in the sky, Mulder's hair has one fleeting non-duckling moment while drenched in rain, and Duane Barry answers the question on all of our minds — "Who took Scully?" — very clearly: THEMMMMMMM!

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Ascension" 1/5 Turning One Man’s Religion Into A Crusades

The FBI needs someone who can act like aliens are all a bunch of hooey to help get some hostages freed, so they call in the best candidate for the job: Famous Non-Believer Fox Mulder! Also, Scully writes a check for $11.14, the perfect dog from "Ice" is back and no one tells us if he is okay, and C.C.H. Pounder as Agent Kazdin is the best Smug Bitch that we've ever met.

To mark the 25th Anniversary of Buffy's Season 3, Episode 19: "Enemies," we are rebroadcasting our Buffering episode from back in 2018 — with special, beloved guest (and velvet choker owner), Hrishikesh Hirway. In re-listening to this episode we also learned that our conversation on "Enemies" also marks the very first time that Jenny told us the now-infamous tale of The Woman Who Had Two Pennies.

Please enjoy, and take this opportunity to kiss your best gal pal on the forehead.

Beware of your electronics and take special caution if you find any of their screens shortening the word "them" to "'em"!!! We are digging into Season 2, Episode 3 "Blood" in today's episode where Mulder is learning about apple farming, Scully is hiding the lower half of her body behind corpses, and Jenny is attempting to teach Kristin about cryptids...

It's a worm, it's a worm, it's a GREAT BIG WORM. Please check your toilets and put out your cigarettes, kids, because a giant flukeworm is on the loose. Flukey was last seen in New Jersey where it reportedly grabbed a slice and then headed south.

It's Season 2 Episode 2 "The Host" and we apologize, deeply, in advance.

WE ARE BACK! In S2E1 "Little Green Men," Mulder is doubting everything he has ever known (when all he should be doubting is how his hair is being styled), Scully is looking like a smitten Angela Chase as she walks through the hallways of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, Jorge is giving us an endlessly epic drawing of a Little Green Man, Kristin becomes obsessed with The Golden Record, and Jenny practices saying her new favorite verb: "roast beefed."

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Little Green Men" 1.5/5 What’s The Difference Between A Lap Dance & A Table Dances

Laya DeLeon Hayes sat down to talk with Kristin all about playing our badass new slayer Indira in Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. We talk about how she has just started watching Buffy for the first time (they had her start with THE BODY?!), how her in-studio relationship with Charisma mirrored many of the ways that Indira and Cordelia relate to each other, her beginnings in the industry as the voice of Doc McStuffins, and our shared interest in getting the answer to the question: is Queen Latifah a Buffy fan?!
