I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #19. When I think about Roland, Mulder is not the first thing to come to mind. Other than an interesting dream he…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #20. Fire feels like an episode where the primary goal was to broaden Mulder's characterization. We learn about his past relationships, phobias,…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #21. Shapes gets a bad rap from The X-Files fandom which I don't think is entirely deserved. It's a very moody and…

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, check out our latest episode as we delve into the 1978 classic Halloween! Enjoy as we discuss the terrifying aura of Michael Myers, while also wondering aloud if the movie would have been better off had the killer been Jason's mother. Delve into our thoughts on Donald Pleasance's Dr. Loomis and how he brings a level of sophistication to the movie, all while also just being a "pleasance" to watch. And of course, just hear us rave about this seminal movie and how suspense seems to be an afterthought these days.
I have branched into podcasting! Check out our new podcast, Pointless Rewind where we pointlessly rewatch, rehash, review and rewind our way through pop culture that tickles our nostalgia. Basically, this is the podcast version of wasting your life. Come…

Pointless Review The Pilot introduced the world to The X-Files and did a great job of nailing the show's identity right away. For that I am eternally grateful; enough that I have written four (!) separate reviews of that episode on this blog. …
