Returning guest Mikaela (@xalexspark) chatted with us about S07E10/11 “Sein Und Zeit” and “Closure”.

Apologies for the bit of audio issues in this episode.

We talked S06E08 “The Rain King” with returning guest Rocío. We talk about the funny/odd vibes of early season 6, loser Mulder, the fan fic type fun of the plot, and all things weird Midwestern weather.
