Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free.

We have taken a turn out of the X-Files myth arc and traded a Mulder of Samanthas for invisible elephants and alien-abducted gorillas! It’s S2E18: Fearful Symmetry. Let’s GO. 

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1/5 Very Big, Very Willful Animals
