2.13 Irresistible | An X-Files Podcast

2024/07/03

Is it our favorite episode? No. Does it inspire us to compare Dana Scully to Tony Soprano? Yes. Please also join us for Jenny's telling of a scary story about a woman with no face (not to be confused with a woman with two pennies), and Kristin's guess on what MUFON stands for. It's S2E13 "Irresistible" and for once we are immensely happy to report that Scully does *not* get a bath.Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 3.475/5 Devils In A Buttoned Down Shirt IN-SHOW

We would prefer to take this week's episode — S2E11 "Excelcis Dei" — and stuff it down a volcano with Bradley Whitford, so that it would either combust from the heat of the lava or the heat of Volcano Bradley's sexiness...but alas, it is our JOB to talk about EACH AND EVERY EPISODE.

This week we have a special appearance by special guest LaToya Ferguson who is here to help us discuss one of the most wild(ly bad) episodes of The X-Files to date: S2E10 "Red Museum"! Luckily, this episode was ALSO intended as a crossover with Picket Fences, so we get to talk about Tom Skerritt's mustache! We also get a true gift from the heavens: Scully eating ribs in a white suite and OOPS getting some BBQ sauce on her face... however will she get it off?!?!?!Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Red

We are in our casual clothes on remote location in the Pacific Northwest where volcanologist BRADLEY WHITFORD has discovered a new life form and a way to remain looking hot despite (because of??) being covered in volcanic ash!

Mrs Scully and Papa Scully and Sister Scully are all here this week because DANA HATH BEEN RETURNED! Mulder spends the entire episode sprinting and screaming in search of the truth, Nurse Owens is actually perhaps AN ANGEL, Cigarette Smoking Man gets an actual cigarette slapped out of his actual mouth, and Skinner looks hot, is hot, remains hot.
