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.

Apart from Kristin learning more about flies and maggots, nearly everything else that we have to wade through in this episode is wildly problematic! In between racist wardens and horrible prison systems we find a tale of reincarnation (or, transmigration, perhaps?) that is confusing enough to leave even Mulder and Scully confused by the end of the episode. At least Bokeem Woodbine is here! Wheeeeee! It's Season 3, Episode 5, "The List."

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this episode a scary ranking of 1.15/5 You Know, It Just Doesn't Make Any Sense...s
