This week we are discussing Evolution (2001) with special guests Courtney and Hannah from That Nostalgia Show! We’re talking the dubious educational value of the movie, the strangely stacked cast, the painful 2001-ness of it all, and debate the relatability of Julianne Moore’s character. We wonder when we as a society stopped mooning, second-guess David Duchovny’s career decisions, laugh at the US-centrism, and desperately try to find any bright spots among all this alien goo.

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.
