Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/11/04

This week we are taking a look back at seasons 10 and 11 (whether we want to or not) for our revival series wrap-up episode! We rank the episodes, read some emails, and cast our own reboot series. We’re talking the surprising relevance of War of the Worlds (2025), when and where to deploy the Darin Morgan missile, keeping up with the Fluke Man, trading card ASMR, that it’s impossible to kidnap Doggett, whether or not we have to read Perihelion, and love on Rhys Darby just a little more for th...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/21

This week we are talking about the X-Files series finale as we jump into “My Struggle IV”! We’re talking half-good half-evil William, how impotent the threat to shut down the X-Files is by now, Mulder massacring a bunch of people, when it’s appropriate to Ghouli out, Scully’s sudden and inexplicable change of heart about her son, and Skinner’s exciting turn as the Wicked Witch of the East in Wicked 2. We celebrate the ride-or-die sister, tell Mulder he can’t just go for the hug after 16 years...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/14

This week we are tracking down our sister in her organ-licking cult while we discuss “Nothing Lasts Forever”! We’re talking how much we don’t care for Juliet and her discount-Daredevil energy, how we want more of the random mountainous Swedish agent who got one minute of screen time, GOUT, that it would be better if Tara were leading this blender cult, and that church would be improved by some pepperoni communion. We debate whether we’re into Barbara or not, wish better things for Jere Burns,...

S11 E8: "My Other Witch's Familiar Is A Porsche"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/10/07

This week we are conjuring up terrifying children’s cartoon creatures while we discuss “Familiar”! We’re talking how off-putting these Bibbletiggles are, the single cop and his romantic endeavors in town, Tim Burton children running all over the place, and the spare from Monk showing up. We debate whether or not we’re fans of Mr. Chuckleteeth, propose Wolfote as an alternate cooler name for the Coywolf, discover that bullying just works, and think this whole case would have been solved so muc...

S11 E7: "Rm 9'cha Glad I Tipped?"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/23

This week we are on the run from murderous robotic sushi chefs while we discuss “Rm9sbG93ZXJz”! We’re talking unappetizing blob fish dinners, how it’s fair turnaround for Scully to be trapped in a car with a speeding driver, whether this can be considered Ghost in the Machine Part 2, and have a heated debate over whether we like the emoji conductor or not. It nearly comes to blows. We reject the fiction that Scully would have a smarthome, shake our heads because they’re always on their damn p...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/16

This week we are going AWOL and hunting down our old Vietnam buddies while we discuss “Kitten”! We’re talking how they really could have come up with a cooler evil-project name than MK NAOMI, that Kersh is back: meaner and balder than ever, how Mulder and Scully’s main character disease is really turning terminal, and that Skinner might as well give up entirely about having any career anymore. We admire Skinner’s turn on the cover of LL Bean, learn what a petard is, tell Mulder and Scully to ...

S11 E5: "Mr. Ghouli, Tear Down This Reality"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/09

This week we are tracking down our long-lost son while we discuss “Ghouli”! We’re talking Detective Saw, Ghouli fanfiction, the continuing Ford car commercial, birthday boys, and Mulder and Scully’s son surprisingly being a bit of a player. We get sad about Scully’s monologue, think we might also make up an urban legend if we had mind powers, ask whether Mulder could have come up with a better coffee-shop persona than “Bob”, and wave goodbye as Jackson/William and Ghouli drive off on their cr...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/09/02

This week we are sorting through our faulty collective memories while we discuss “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat”! We’re talking the Mandela/Mengele effect, how dangerous it is to hold Scully up when she’s hangry, the return of Chuck, Mulder’s Squatchin’ outfit, and how troubled we are by this episode’s erasure of the true Reggie. We won’t stand for it! We note how terrifying it is to hear “Let me show you this quick video”, how Po-Co is never going to happen, the bloodcurdling screams of Meg...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/26

This week we are avoiding our evil doppelgangers while we discuss “Plus One”! We’re talking our love for Dean Cavalier: Attorney at Law, how much Mulder would love Evil Scully, the strange nurses, and confounding bread pills. We wonder exactly how much sleep Scully really needs, doubt that it’s really that much fun playing Hangman that many times, get really excited about the John Wick armory and katana sword collection, and get really invested in Prison Break for a while.

2025/08/19

This week we are on the run from long-dead friends while we discuss “This”! We’re talking the return of Cyber Langly, the Boo Crew suddenly turning into action stars, how we really could have used more of Mulder and Scully handcuffed-together hijinks, Skinner’s boring apartment, and how much Deep Throat hates QR codes. We pitch a ‘Mulder and Scully go to IKEA’ episode, enjoy the escape room vibes, think the episode would be improved with a dance battle, and wonder where exactly Langly’s...

S11 E1: "My Struggle III: Still Strugglin'"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/08/12

This week we are doing our very best just to make it through this episode intact while we regrettably discuss “My Struggle III”! We’re talking the episode titles reflecting our increasing struggle to watch these, CSM name drop without any forewarning, Chris Carter’s “Secret Science” AMA, Mulder becoming a noir detective out of nowhere, and how this whole apocalypse thing was just one big joke. We get really excited about the possibility of Scully transmitting brain morse code, wonder when exa...

S10 E6: "The Man from S.T.R.U.G.G.L.E. II"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/29

This week we are trying to stop an apocalypse, develop a world-saving vaccine, locate our long-lost son, and find a good parking spot while we discuss “My Struggle II”! We’re talking Scully’s strange anti-vaxx turn, the tonally bizarre Guy Ritchie fight scenes, Scully being able to stop a riot with just her words, CSM’s return as a cartoon flaming skull, and the fastest-onset apocalypse we have ever seen. We wonder just how quick Scully is able to develop a vaccine, if Teen Willy has a permit...

This week we are taking mushrooms and trying to contact comatose men while we discuss “Babylon”! We’re talking Mulder dancing at the Badonkadonk, how real it is that Skinner’s migraines are caused by Mulder, wonder who exactly Miller and Einstein remind us of, get excited to see cowboy-hatted Lone Gunmen, and get sad that Tom Waits had to be brought into this. We note the excess of both offensive Muslim stereotypes but also Texas stereotypes, Dean Haglund going missing in Australia, and...

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast ·

2025/07/15

This week we are trying to solve the mystery of a coin necklace by our mother’s bedside while we discuss “Home Again”! We’re talking unreuniting with beloved guest actresses as quickly as we reunite with them, Mulder being classic goofy, the Band Aid Nose Man’s hype man deserving all the love in the world, exciting Charlie Scully lore, and take the time to clown on Bill Jr. Just for old time’s sake. We figure out the blender-related reason why Charlie is estranged from the family, Bill’s stru...

2025/07/01

This week we are bleeding from the ears from high-pitched screeching sounds while we discuss “Founder’s Mutation”! We’re talking the return of James Wong, our love for the strangely blase coworker, Gupta From My Phone, Mulder giving off the wrong signals, Scully back on her quaalude habit, and why wristwatch models shouldn’t be evil scientists. We enjoy Skinner’s office redesign, say hello to Abigail from Hannibal and goodbye just as quickly, smell the distinct whiff of Folger’s coffee commer...

This week we are rebooting the show, our careers, and our relationships while we discuss “My Struggle I”! We’re talking the 400th key to the X-Files, whether Annet Mahendru gets a worse fate here or on The Americans, Chris Carter dictating the script for this episode from his yacht, Mulder and Scully both getting younger lovers, and alien tushies.

This week we are swapping heads and bodies willy-nilly while we discuss the 2008 movie “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”! We’re talking poor Scully being Mulder’s publicity agent, the inexplicable George W. Bush alien theme sting, the specter of unsafe driving, Mulder’s scratchy beard, and most importantly, the return of Ellen Bledsoe! We wonder how serious this break-up is supposed to be, wonder at Scully doing all of her stem cell research on Google, debate whether Mulder’s beard is good or ...

This week we are pausing and taking a look back at Season 9 as a whole! We review special features, read emails, rank the episodes, share our thoughts on the season, and play a Seinfeld-related game. We’re talking our growing love for Kim Manners, Vince Gilligan and his awkward khaki pants, IF NO BASEBALL, Reyes being one small pixel of drama, and Doggett’s role in the Korean boy band he will of course be joining now. We theorize about a couples therapist qualified enough to deal with all thi...

We’re talking Gothic heroine Knowle Rohrer, how much Mulder loves his corner, Skinner awkwardly third-wheeling and then being coerced into being Mulder’s lawyer, wonder how ghosts can give away pieces of paper, and get really excited for a second that we would be seeing Normal Hosteen. We spend a lot of time discussing CSM growing Rapunzel hair, get happy ...
