    What a season, what a season. As The X-Files prepares to head to Hollywood - both literally and metaphorically - Michaela and Ed look back on the fifth season and talk about their favourite episodes and guest performances, and try to determine whether the demands of the movie ultimately hurt the season leading up to it.

    5.20 - The End
    May 25 2026

    This week, The X-Files tries to pull off a grand pseudo-series finale involving a mind-reading chess prodigy and a literal fire in the basement, but the real tension might just be Scully's reaction to Mulder's ex. Michaela and Ed discuss whether 'The End' actually works as an ending, while also catching up on expensive car repairs, Morris dancing, Bob Odenkirk's action movie chops, and a Studio Ghibli film featuring a cat in a tuxedo... or does it?

    Mulder's seeing a giant bug man in an episode that is surprisingly tense and paranoiac, even more so when you learn about the troubled production. Michaela and Ed discuss how The X-Files crew managed to turn disaster into victory in post-production, and also talk about the novel Klara and the Sun for arguably too long.
