The X-Files – S1E3 "Squeeze"
Collin and Doug tackle the first-ever Monster of the Week episode – the creepy, unnerving, and all-around icky “Squeeze”. From that Pennywise-ish cold open to Tooms’ über-vacant final stare into the light, we talk about everything – including the Right Here Right Now of it all, the MotW origin story, and how someone really did scamper down that chimney.

The Boroughs: Episodes 5–8
Whitney, Collin, and Doug wrap up their chit-chat about the new Netflix series 'The Boroughs' by discussing the erotic leanings of 'Alien', Tom Selleck's sexiness, and the confusion between Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.

Stranger Things Post Show: Conformity Gate!
Collin, Whitney, and Doug keep the Stranger Things fires burning with a discussion of the conspiracy theory that has failed to pan out (so far). No, Melvald’s doesn’t serve milkshakes anymore, and yes, the Squawk dial changed color… but does that mean there’s a secret ninth episode hidden in a vault at Netflix headquarters? Grab your orange graduation gown and join us as we get to the bottom of Conformity Gate!
