“I am rewatching X-Files in 2023 and am loving this podcast from 2014 hosted by an actor in Silicon Valley. I love that he finds the message board conversations and mixes it up with contributors from the mid 1990s. Really fantastic.”

“Loved this show, but where is the rest of it?? I get not finishing all of it (unfortunately) but even after the last ep another ep is mentioned with Chris Carter which just never got uploaded? I want more…! Hope maybe for the 30th anniversary next year we get some more…?”

“I really enjoyed the first few episodes of this podcast, but then stopped listening because every episode turned into undermining and trashing The X-Files episodes. I’m a huge fan of the show so it bums me out listening to people make fun of it over and over. But that’s just me.”

“Summary: This podcast is sharp, hilarious, poignant, and SO wonderfully nerdy. Perfect for both longtime X-Files fans and cautious newbies; I can’t recommend it enough.
I had missed this entire podcast when it was originally posted, but I credit it as one of the things that buoyed my spirits...”Read full review »

“You’re insight and perspective on the episodes is really well done. I appreciate the level of humor and research brought to each episode. Please continue reviewing the seasons (and interviews, if possible).
This is a gem! Thank you for creating it.
Ps. Great job in “your episode” ;).”

“I am such a huge fan of the xfiles and have enjoyed this podcast. There were some negative comments, but what is a podcast anyway? A place where people TALK. If you’re a fan of the X-Files, give this podcast a shot. I wasn’t disappointed at all. :)”

“Nothing consistent. When it was good it was great and when it was bad it was really bad. Too many episodes I found myself listening to people being excited about the topic but then going completely off topic for most of the episode. Too PC, afraid to get real on topics but not afraid to bash on...”Read full review »

“Unfortunately the host & most of his guests seem super pc (except of course when it comes to insulting religious beliefs) & many times seem lacking insight on the mythology plot & characters.”

Then he got popular and now this cast is dead. I hope he comes back to it someday. Would love to get some look back. If it does I will...”Read full review »

“Kumail Nanjiani, now well known for his role on Silicon Valley, is an unabashed fan of the now-classic series that was a huge impact on genre television in the 90s. His fandom even scored him a fun guest spot on the recent revival season. Kumail and guests typically dissect a couple episodes at...”Read full review »

“The show is okay, I guess. I've listened to 23 episodes so it must be alright. Bummed out by episode 24. though. You 2 have spent more time talking about politics than X-Files. I like DC Pierson but this episode is so wanky it's kind of unbelieveable. Very pretentious.”Read full review »
