59. Mulder Is a Garbage Partner and Scully Deserves Better (ft. Candy, Dawn, and Ben Burgis)

BACK after a prolonged absence, we follow up on previous episodes by having back Dawn(@dorkvania) from our very first episode, Ben Burgis(@benburgis) from earlier this year, and Candy joining us once again to talk about their love(and critiques) of the X-files, Darin Morgan episodes, and memories of growing up in the 90s. Also, we get into how weirdly racist and transphobic the show could get. --- Ending tune: Bree Sharp's "David Duchovny" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upRhsDUIDSE --- (R.I.P Beto's campaign) --- Rec: --- Lizzo's new album - ContraPoints' vid on "The Darkness" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtj7LDYaufM -- Check out Ben's writing at Jacobin: https://jacobinmag.com/author/ben-burgis - Check out Dawn's photography work at https://dorkvania.com/ -- Are you listening to us from SE Asia or Eastern Europe?
