The File Room

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.

Scully struggles with her faith, Michaela loses her faith in the local football team, and Ed has hopes for contenders.

This episode has it all: tense cat and mouse games on a train, a big-ass explosion, and Limp Bizkit talk.

Is the Mythology still on the tracks? Michaela and Ed politely disagree, chat Whales and divisive film-makers.

Michaela and Ed discuss an episode full of harrowing subject matter and extremely well-handled performances, but somehow they still manage to have fun.

There's sport, there's astral projections, there's Jaws but in a swimming pool. Ed and Michaela discuss this episode, which is a pretty good time with some serious messages sewn in, too.

Michaela and Ed discuss a depressingly relevant episode which uses a gross monster to explore real dangers women face in the world. Also there's some discussion about The Brutalist, which may just barely be relevant when this episode comes out.

Wolfie's bum, a dead possum and just so many maggots. Some of this is relevant to this episode of The X-Files, where a brutalised prisoner wishes real hard to be reincarnated.
