Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure began in 2016 with Buffering the Vampire Slayer, an episodic rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hosted by Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo — and now continues through some of the most iconic genre shows rooted in the 90s and 00s.
Darkness has fallen, but we can all follow the light shining from Agent Dana Scully's tricolor parka to avoid being eaten by centuries-old, human-eating bugs!!
This episode was recorded live in Boston at Arts at the Armory and no humans were cocooned in its creation.
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Darkness Falls" a scary rating of 2.95/5 We Have "Ice" At Homes

Today we meet the very first X-File, opened in 1946 in Montana, and party with werewolves, taxidermy, and horses. We also have a big conversation about what (always) happens when non-Native writers tell stories about Indigenous communities. Spoiler alert: it ain’t great!

It is time for a Big Tent Revival where Mulder will run after the image of his sister while Scully does her best to prove that no miracles happened in the state of Tennessee.

It is time to meet dad at the aquarium where he can tell you that, just like the little FBI shark that you are, you mustn't stop swimming! We've got three lone gunmen, two stopwatches, one extraterrestrial biological entity, and a wild alien-goose chase across the United States. It's Season 1, Episode 17 "E.B.E." and yes it IS remotely plausible that Agent Dana Scully is hot!
Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "E.B.E." a scary rating of 2.75/5 Governments Within A Government

Before we began our journey through The X-Files we made a very special "Episode 0" to usher us into a new alien-soaked era. Jenny asked Kristin to tell us everything she knew about the show going in, we played games such as "Comic Book Villain or X-File Of The Week," and Kristin gave us a detailed book report on "the history of aliens." In March, this conversation was only available to those who joined us in the livestream, but now, gentle listeners, it is here for all to enjoy.

In today's episode we learn that Scully has an ex-boyfriend and that Mulder thinks that this means the plot has thickened. We also learn that in the FBI sometimes you carry one (1) loose gun inside of a briefcase, that Scully is a medical doctor (!!!), and that Mulder really cares about Scully and wants to make sure she is safe *single tear*. Also, body swapping. Also, Kristin's new favorite character, Officer Bruskin, is on the scene chewing nicotine gum and being sassy WITH HEART. It's S1E15: Lazarus. Please keep your eyes on the roving tattoo.

This is the one about, according to Jenny Owen Youngs, "that one alien who LOVES to f*ck"! It is also the one where we learn Scully is a horse girl, and also the one with The Kindred, and also the one where we learn that Kristin had to stare down dozens of Precious Moments Figurines in her childhood bedroom, and ALSO the one where we learn that Jenny once found an abandoned shack in the New Jersey woods wallpapered with Playboy cutouts. It is also the one where sex is made scary with a dash of transphobia and a sprinkling of HIV/AIDS, because of course it is. Please join us for Season 1, Episode 14: Gender Bender.

Our incredible listener, Sophie Day, emailed us awhile back about this week's episode of The X-Files, "Beyond the Sea," and the character of Luther Lee Boggs.
Sophie explained that she works as a Capital Mitigation Specialist, which means that she is part of the legal team that represents folks who have already been sentenced to death on their last appeals. She explained, "basically it's my job to tell my client's story. I spend countless hours with my clients, their family, and anyone I can find who knew them before the crime they are convicted of. It is my job to help decision makers (a judge, SCOTUS, or the Governor) see my client as a full person. We do not seek to excuse the crime, but to help the person/people deciding if they should live or die how my clients' lives could have brought them to where they are. My primary goal is to reflect my client's humanity and dignity outward."
We were so excited to bring Sophie into the pod-space for a deeper conversation, and in this bonus episode you will hear her discuss the way that folks in prison, and especially on death row, are portrayed in television and movies — and in this episode in particular!

Noted Gillian Anderson enthusiast Laura Zak joins us in conversation for today's coverage of The X-Files S1E13: "Beyond the Sea,"! We discuss Gillian's hold on generations of queer women, Scully's character finally being given enough emotional room to stretch her legs (and be called "Dana"), the CHEEK CARESS, and Jenny's childhood dream of riding in on horseback to save beautiful women. Something for everyone.
We also have a special segment today in conversation with Sophie Day, a Capital Mitigation Specialist who works with folks on death row, and who sheds some more light on media portrayals of folks on death row and the system itself. We highly encourage you to listen to the full interview, found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86682645
The full conversation with Sophie will also air in the main feed this Friday!
