Is it our favorite episode? No. Does it inspire us to compare Dana Scully to Tony Soprano? Yes. Please also join us for Jenny's telling of a scary story about a woman with no face (not to be confused with a woman with two pennies), and Kristin's guess on what MUFON stands for. It's S2E13 "Irresistible" and for once we are immensely happy to report that Scully does *not* get a bath.

Before we began our journey through The X-Files we made a very special "Episode 0" to usher us into a new alien-soaked era. Jenny asked Kristin to tell us everything she knew about the show going in, we played games such as "Comic Book Villain or X-File Of The Week," and Kristin gave us a detailed book report on "the history of aliens." In March, this conversation was only available to those who joined us in the livestream, but now, gentle listeners, it is here for all to enjoy.

This is the one about, according to Jenny Owen Youngs, "that one alien who LOVES to f*ck"! It is also the one where we learn Scully is a horse girl, and also the one with The Kindred, and also the one where we learn that Kristin had to stare down dozens of Precious Moments Figurines in her childhood bedroom, and ALSO the one where we learn that Jenny once found an abandoned shack in the New Jersey woods wallpapered with Playboy cutouts. It is also the one where sex is made scary with a dash of transphobia and a sprinkling of HIV/AIDS, because of course it is. Please join us for Season 1, Episode 14: Gender Bender.

Our incredible listener, Sophie Day, emailed us awhile back about this week's episode of The X-Files, "Beyond the Sea," and the character of Luther Lee Boggs. Sophie explained that she works as a Capital Mitigation Specialist, which means that she is part of the legal team that represents folks who have already been sentenced to death on their last appeals. She explained, "basically it's my job to tell my client's story. I spend countless hours with my clients, their family, and anyone I can find who knew them before the crime they are convicted of. It is my job to help decision makers (a judge, SCOTUS, or the Governor) see my client as a full person. We do not seek to excuse the crime, but to help the person/people deciding if they should live or die how my clients' lives could have brought them to where they are. My primary goal is to reflect my client's humanity and dignity outward." We were so excited to bring Sophie into the pod-space for a deeper conversation, and in this bonus episode you will hear her discuss the way that folks in prison, and especially on death row, are portrayed in television and movies — and in this episode in particular!
