    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.)
