Hello, world. Today we’re launching The File Room, an X-Files rewatch podcast in which @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies rewatch the show and talk about its themes, how it changed TV, and what it says about the 90s.

On an unplanned bonus episode, @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies talk about Mark Snow, the X-Files composer who passed away last week at 78, and why his work was so crucial to the success of the series, and why it endures to this day.

RT @decoyrobot: Alain Resnais, the French filmmaker, was a big fan of The X-Files. He hired Mark Snow to compose for Coeurs, Wild Grass, an….

Uh oh

RT @thxfilescontent: Thanks Mark Snow, for this great work!

RIP to Mark Snow, a truly great composer. We don’t mention it nearly enough on the show, but his contribution to the mood and atmosphere of The X-Files was indispensable, and it’s amazing that he managed to create such evocative work over such a long run

On The File Room this week @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies wrap up Season 3 of The X-Files by talking about favourite episodes, guest stars, and the beginning of the show’s Imperial Phase. Also Ed talks about Materialists and The Life of Chuck for some reason.

On The File Room this week, @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies discuss “Talitha Cumi” and spend roughly equal amounts of time asking “does the mythology still make sense?” and talking about Dostoevsky.

On The File Room this week @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies discuss “Wetwired”, in which subliminal messages make Scully go all Mulder.

This week, @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies discuss “Quagmire”, a deceptively silly episode about looking for a Loch Ness-like lake monster that turns into a surprisingly deft exploration of Mulder’s character.

This week @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies discuss “Avatar” (no, not that one…or that one) in which Mitch Pileggi gets to take centre stage. Also there’s a lot of Eurovision talk at the beginning because they recorded it a few weeks back.

This week on The File Room, @a_n_sand @EdwinJDavies discuss “Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space’”, one of the most beloved episodes of The X-Files, which mixes a playful structure with an air of melancholy and some great jokes.

This week @a_n_s and @EdwinJDavies discuss “Hell Money”, the X-Files episode that has probably the biggest gap between the quality of the script and the quality of the supporting cast they’ve encountered so far
