We hate that you have to hear it from us, but there are roaches simply EVERYwhere in this episode! In the basement, in your buddy’s makeshift drug lab, in the bathroom, in the motel, even in the poop warehouse. Egads! At least there’s a cute little robot to help take the edge off… and also our new gal pal Dr. Bambi. But let’s face it, this is no place for an entomologist!

    Jul 16 2026
    Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. Since the beginning of the series, we’ve been wondering what the limit might be on what Fox Mulder is willing to believe (if the limit does indeed exist)… and in S3E11, “Revelations,” we have found it. Stigmata? Guardian angels?? A fiery-handed demon?! Sorry, Mulder’s filing cabinet is suddenly at capacity! Scully, however, finds herself Wanting To Believe as this episode barrels down a Catholic-adjacent path and she is forced to wonder if she has been chosen by a higher power to protect a young boy in danger.

An episode we didn’t like at all and episode we kinda liked, actually!! Together in one pod we’ve got thoughts on “death by boiling” (sorry), child kidnapping (WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, X-FILES), and perhaps most importantly why Kristin has started to like (some of) this show despite how often she has to yell at it?! It’s Season 3, Episodes 7 “The Walk,” and Episode 8 “Oubliette.” PS: A Correction! When Kristin said that Emily St. James wrote X-Files Confidential what she ACTUALLY MEANT was Monsters of the Week.
