323, “The X-Files: Season 6 (feat. Wesley Mead)”

Published: Aug. 22, 2017, 11:20 p.m.

Six years in, how is The X-Files handling Mulder and Scully’s relentless quest for the truth? To investigate this particular mystery, Paul and Arlo have once again abducted Wesley “Wezzo” Mead from the U.K. The gang discusses how the sixth season of Chris Carter’s seminal sci-fi series handles the movie's revelations; how the production move from Vancouver to L.A has affected the tone; if this season is a touch goofier than previous years; and what the radical changes to the series’ mythology means for the future, if anything. Plus, they talk politics. Of course they do. And it's depressing. Of course it is.
