It seems the government is building military planes with UFO technology and our most trusted sources are a very stoned Seth Green and amateur-photographer Ladonna who runs the local diner: The Flying Saucer. Should we heed the mysterious warnings of Deep Throat and stay away from the case? OF COURSE NOT!! NO X-FILE STONE WILL BE LEFT UNTURNED!! It’s Season 1, Episode 2: “Deep Throat” and we are headed to Idaho to wear our Timberlands and have our memories erased.Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this X-File a scary rating of 1/5 Budahases

It's the inaugural episode of The eX-Files, and FBI Agent Dana Scully has been assigned to write field reports on (and become best friends with) Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder. Our first X-File has us going to Bellefleur, Oregon where the Class of '89 simply cannot stay away from the woods, where Scully takes a bath in the dark and gets some mosquito bites, and where Mulder has a f*cking blast losing 9 minutes of that most beloved of universal invariants: TIME!!! Could it be the stinky alien babies?!?!?! Come with us on our newest podcast rewatch adventure, where Jenny Owen Youngs is showing her ex-wife Kristin Russo each and every episode of The X-Files one at a time.Producer LaToya Ferguson gives this X-File a scary rating of 2.5/5 Grey Metallic Implants

As a "special gifty" we now bestow upon you our very first episode covering Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as written in comic form and published by Dark Horse Comics! We are two episodes into the journey over on Patreon, so if you'd like more you can use the links below to join us!

We did it! We disposed of the body of our murdered lover, made an altar with the head of our dead dog, attended Gloria's funeral, got kidnapped by Triangle Buddy Devotees, and looked SO FUCKING HOT at our 25th High School Reunion! Meanwhile in the woods... oh no? Oh no. OH NO.It is the season finale of Doomcoming (and Yellowjackets!) where we dig into "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi".(Shauna DIDN'T EVEN LIKE SOCCER, guys.)

It is time for the TITULAR DOOMCOMING, people!!! Let's tell the forest creatures how gay we are!!! Let's trip on mushrooms so hard that we confuse people for forest creatures?!?! Let's scream-sing KISS FROM A ROSE in 1996 and, in 2021, lie to our friends about the motives of our now-murdered-lovers!!!! It's gonna be a goddamn blast.

In '96, Van is alive (again!), Laura Lee is going to get help by flying the Hail Mary Full Of Heroin Plane (oh no), Coach Ben is gay (hot), Travis is being a dingus (sigh). In '21, Jeff is being cute (as usual), Callie can't find Adam on the internet (but can find his ID in HER HOUSE), and Caligula *almost* flies to bird heaven (where he'd have been swiftly followed by Jessica Roberts, but both thankfully live to see another day). Most importantly: Misty snorts (almost) all of Nat's cocaine and we laugh and laugh and laugh and LAUGH. It's Yellowjackets S1E8: Flight of the Bumblebee and we really, really, really wish Leonard and Laura Lee were still safe on the island. : (

On the one hand OH NO, it is wolf-o-clock in the '96 woods, but on the other hand OH YES, we have nearly all of our adults in a high speed, glitter-covered chase for the ages?! Also introducing a new segment called "What's The Most New Jersey," plus a conversation about Jenny's dog Frank's inability to help her find an owl pellet — this episode truly has something for everyone. Except a compass.It's Doomcoming's seventh episode, covering Yellowjackets Season 1, Episode 7: No Compass.

This week on Doomcoming, Yellowjackets gives us a lake baptism, some sexting, and a helping of very confusing birthday and graduation math — amongst other things (like learning Adult Nat actually *always* wears casual fishnets and that all version of Taissa are eating dirt). We are talking about Season 1, Episode 6 "Saints"!

The halfway mark in our Doomcoming journey has arrived bringing us more Triangle Buddy, a slumber party seance, an owl cam, Callie on Molly, and Montell Jordan — among other things.This week we are talking about 1.05 "Blood Hive," where the bloody soldiers are on the right and breakfast is on the left.

This week on Doomcoming we are talking about the fourth episode of Yellowjackets: "Bear Down"! We've got a whole lot of Nat, a whole lot of trauma, Misty drinking her chocolate fucking martini, adultery via mini golf, and our now recurring segment "Which Thing Is The MOST 90s"!

This week on Doomcoming we are talking about the third episode of Yellowjackets: "The Dollhouse"! We've got a lot of Taissa, ever-increasing love for Van, us choosing which 1996 girl we'd have been and which we'd have a crush on, and Jenny obliging when Kristin asks her to do her Adult Nat impression again.

Welcome to Doomcoming, a little "winter treat" of a rewatch podcast where we dig into the first season of Showtime's Yellowjackets one episode at a time. This week we are talking about 1.02 "F Sharp"! There's a whole lot of Misty, a nice serving of Wilson Phillips feelings, a wonderful impression of Adult Nat by Jenny, and Kristin getting caught up once again in rabbit-stew emotions.

Welcome to Doomcoming, a little "winter treat" of a rewatch podcast where we dig into the first season of Showtime's Yellowjackets one episode at a time. Today we are discussing the pilot episode of the series where we meet our cast of characters in both 1996 and 2021. Some highlights include: Shauna killing a rabbit, Nat smoking a cigarette, Tai not breaking Allie's leg, Allie drinking a big glass of wine, Jackie being Jackie, and Misty watching a rat drown.

Welcome to Buffering: A Rewatch Adventure. While our trek through Buffy has come to a close, our podcasty love affair with iconic television is just beginning. If you’ve been paying attention, you already know that in 2023 we’ll be looking for the truth which we have heard is out there… but we wanted to kick this winter off together with a little jaunt through the Canadian wilderness. Beginning November 30th, we’ll be serving up steaming skewers of Doomcoming, a fresh and juicy Yellowjackets podcast, where we’ll be rewatching Season 1 together, spoiler-free, in eager anticipation of Season 2. All of our conversations about cannibalism, aliens, and the 1990s will be happening right here in this very feed.

Buffy may be off, vacationing in the UK (???) but Angel is still hard at work at a new law firm with some new Sunnydale arrivals... As a treat, here is the first episode of our sister-pod, Angel On Top, for those of you who might need a little of the Buffyverse in your ears after our departure. Hosted by LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (with a dash of Kristin), it is a very good time and will be here to cover all of Season 5!! In fact, today in the feed 5.02 "Just Rewards" released! Find all of the Angel goodness right here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/angel-on-top/id1383009934 5.01 Conviction | Scoobies, a new era has arrived. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is dead. Long live Buffy the Vampire Slayer!  And with its ending, so endeth the Buffering the Vampire Slayer/Angel on Top FEUD. But the show must go on, as there is still one more season of Angel left. Which means Angel on Top just has to provide a corker of a return episode. So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 premiere "Conviction," a re-pilot of sorts.

One last one for the road, scoobs — in this very special Curtain Call episode we journey through Jenny's "Supernaturalatives," discussing some of our favorite arcs (and favorite hunks) in the series, read through some of your beautiful letters, talk about our music writing process over the course of 161 songs, and also share some feelings about each other and our future together in the pod space. WE LOVE YOU, OKAY?!

Anything we say is gonna sound like goodbye.It's Season 7 Episode 22, "Chosen," live from Brooklyn's Bell House.We love you oh-so-much.

It's a scythe, it's an axe, it's a great big .... one handed weapon, okay?! Buffy is BACK, the team is back together, the sword has been pulled from the stone, there's an old lady (she looks great for her age) in a tiny temple who has been there for so long, Spike has feelings, Faith has feelings, WE have feelings, and... Angel is back?!?!?! A doozy indeed. It's Season 7 Episode 21: End of Days.

The First is blippin' in and out all over Sunnydale and our scoobies are doing a lot of their own blippin' on many surfaces of 1630 Revello Drive. It's Season 7 Episode 20: Touched and the end is fast approaching (of the world, of the series, of the podcast) so get out your ice cream, find someone to hold you, and — OH NO NOT A BOMB?!?!

LaToya Ferguson, pod-nemesis, joins us in conversation about S7E19: Empty Places! There are hot pockets, sexual tension on the Revello porch that might make your head set aflame, a proper recipe for a bloomin' onion, and a power struggle for the ages that results in Buffy being ousted from her own home...

Kristin is talking with with Rabbi Leah Jordan and Pam Grossman — writer, curator, and teacher of magical practice and history — to dig deep into Willow's Jewishness, her witchy-ness, and how those two identities are in conversation with each other (or how we *wish* they would have been!) across seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.This episode contains spoilers through the end of Season 7 of Buffy!

Faith is back in Sunnydale and we are feeling dirtier than ever, Nathan Fillion's bangs are the most evil part about Caleb, Spike remembers the entire galloping, warm champagne monologue (vampires, they're just like us!), and a lot of other really hard, really bad shit happens because this is Season 7! We are LIVE from Chicago's Lincoln Hall this week discussing S7E18: Dirty Girls, with special guests Jess Abbott, Rosemary Maybe, Morgan Lutich, and Alba Daza!

We've got mommy issues, we've got daddy issues, and we've got A LOT OF BULLSHIT! In flashbacks, Spike wants to bring his mom on vacation with Drusilla (lol) and tiny, adorable Robin knocks over a trash can to assist his slayer-mom Nikki. In present day, the power of iTunes 1.0 triggers Spike inside of Robin's cross-laden garage and they FIGHT, while elsewhere Giles behaves like a f*cking asshole. Yes, yes, it is time for Season 7 Episode 17: Lies My Parents Told Me!

Welcome, gentle viewers, to our taping of S7E16's "Storyteller" LIVE from Philadelphia!!!
