The File Room

3.19 - Hell Money

3.18 - Teso Dos Bichos

Michaela and Ed discuss an episode that very soberly tries to address colonialist extraction...but gets derailed by a bunch of kitty cats.

3.17 - Pusher

Ed and Michaela discuss Ryan Coogler reboot rumours, whether the roots of Breaking Bad are on show in this episode, and failed holiday plans.

Michaela and Ed discuss dogs, gross oil stuff, and how well this episode wraps up one best two-parters in the entirety of the X-Files.

3.15 - Piper Maru

Black oil. 'nuff said.

3.14 - Grotesque

Michaela and Ed talk about camping and trivia, as well as an extremely moody episode of The X-Files that invokes Poe, Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, and mostly gets away with it.

3.13 - Syzygy

A young, blockbuster mega-star Ryan Reynolds features in this 90s teen drama send-up. We discuss Mystic Meg, stealing our parents' liquor and whether this episode was made to poke the 'shippers.

3.12 - War of the Coprophages

Bugs are driving everyone crazy in Massachusetts in another fun Darin Morgan-penned episode. Michaela and Ed enjoy the mania, and also talk about getting stuck in things. Also, apologies to Bobbie Phillips, who Ed mistakenly calls "Bonnie Phillips" at one point.
