Pointlessly Rehashing, Rewatching, Rereading, Replaying, Rewinding, and Reviewing Pop Culture
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…

I'm continuing my reverse rankings of Fox Mulder in Season 1 of The X-Files and we've arrived at #22. Born Again is an absolute slog with dull side characters, poor direction, no warmth, and a paranormal plot that plagiarizes nearly…

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.

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. …

Pointless Review My X-Files fanaticism began during the middle of the fourth season when it was already a glossy, immaculately produced mini-movie that happened to come out every week. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson could play their characters in their sleep…

The third season of The X-Files is brimming with episodes that I could watch over and over. Ranking them is probably a pointless endeavor considering my list changes pretty much daily. Oh well, such is life. Read on and also…
