Summary

As The X-Files gets back on the case, so does our esteemed colleague Eve Batey -- does the show improve after the premiere? What's with the cast not aging? And who greenlighted those super-gross SFX? After Liv (and Ellie) took us through Face Off, The Blotter recommended American Experience's crimey new season, and we went around the dial with Blackish, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Pablo Escobar, enraging insurance ads, and Andre Braugher -- who popped up again in Eve's Canon nom, Homicide: LOTS's "Subway" ep. UNReal won, Second Chance lost, and the Game Time season hung in the balance as the panel Venn-diagrammed actors. Give us a listen while you're hitchhiking to meet your Deep Throat; it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.

1:39.2

kind of on the tone they left off on. My big problem with the episode wasn't the tone, the cornyness of it, because X-Files
