    The eX Files: The X-Files 3.07 The Walk and 3.08 Oubliette
    Jun 4 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. 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.

    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. Just another fat-sucking, misogynist vampire on the internet for your Thursday! It's Season 3, Episode 6, "2Shy" and all we really have to say is... f*ck off, Virgil! Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 5/5 LATOYA OFFICIALLY* QUITS THE PODCAST (*Not really, but you people can’t force her to actually watch this episode until she’s good and ready. So this is the rating, until she decides otherwise.)

    The eX Files: The X-Files 3.05 The List
    May 7 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. Apart from Kristin learning more about flies and maggots, nearly everything else that we have to wade through in this episode is wildly problematic! In between racist wardens and horrible prison systems we find a tale of reincarnation (or, transmigration, perhaps?) that is confusing enough to leave even Mulder and Scully confused by the end of the episode. At least Bokeem Woodbine is here! Wheeeeee! It's Season 3, Episode 5, "The List." Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1.15/5 You Know, It Just Doesn't Make Any Sense...s CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF BUFFERING Join us at Brooklyn's Littlefield for our first-ever Homecoming Weekend on October 16th & 17th.
