This week we welcome special guest host Logan Humphrey to the pod to help us celebrate the 40th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's ET - The Extra Terrestrial.

The X-Files

Episode 249

Thursday, September 29, 2022 • Duration 01:03:15

It's time for Sam's birthday pick, and it's The X-Files! Join us for contractual X arguments, the secret behind the X-Files existence, the birth of Chris' multiverse and an awful lot of Sam breathlessly explaining X-Files lore. Oh, and Agent Bee.

Also, if you ever plan to watch the TV series, watch out - this show is full of spoilers for pretty much the entire thing (although Sam hasn't seen any of this stuff in decades so probably got a lot of it wrong).
