Before we began our journey through The X-Files we made a very special "Episode 0" to usher us into a new alien-soaked era. Jenny asked Kristin to tell us everything she knew about the show going in, we played games such as "Comic Book Villain or X-File Of The Week," and Kristin gave us a detailed book report on "the history of aliens." In March, this conversation was only available to those who joined us in the livestream, but now, gentle listeners, it is here for all to enjoy.SUBSCRIBE TO THE EX-FILES DEDICATED FEED: bufferingcast.com/exfilesSUBSCRIBE TO DOOMCOMING, YELLOWKACETS DEDICATED FEED: bufferingcast.com/doomcomingJOIN OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE EVENTS IN BOSTON & BROOKLYNSeptember 9th at Arts At The Armory • September 10th at The Bell HouseAll information: https://www.bufferingcast.com/liveStream our event live from NYC: https://www.bufferingcast.com/streamLOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNETJenny Owen Youngs | @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.comKristin Russo | @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.comBuffering: A Rewatch Adventure | @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramMUSICTheme song and jingles all composed and performed by Jenny Owen Youngs.PATREONpatreon.com/bufferingcastMERCHbufferingthevampireslayer.com/shop+++Produced by: Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen YoungsEdited by: Kristin RussoLogo: Devan Power+++We acknowledge that we and our team are occupying unceded and stolen lands and territories.

Also, body swapping. Also, Kristin's new favorite character, Officer Bruskin, is on the scene chewing nicotine gum and being sassy WITH HEART. It's S1E15: Lazarus.

This is the one about, according to Jenny Owen Youngs, "that one alien who LOVES to f*ck"! It is also the one where we learn Scully is a horse girl, and also the one with The Kindred, and also the one where we learn that Kristin had to stare down dozens of Precious Moments Figurines in her childhood bedroom, and ALSO the one where we learn that Jenny once found an abandoned shack in the New Jersey woods wallpapered with Playboy cutouts. It is also the one where sex is made scary with a dash of transphobia and a sprinkling of HIV/AIDS, because of course it is.

Our incredible listener, Sophie Day, emailed us awhile back about this week's episode of The X-Files, "Beyond the Sea," and the character of Luther Lee Boggs.Sophie explained that she works as a Capital Mitigation Specialist, which means that she is part of the legal team that represents folks who have already been sentenced to death on their last appeals. She explained, "basically it's my job to tell my client's story. I spend countless hours with my clients, their family, and anyone I can find who knew them before the crime they are convicted of. It is my job to help decision makers (a judge, SCOTUS, or the Governor) see my client as a full person. We do not seek to excuse the crime, but to help the person/people deciding if they should live or die how my clients' lives could have brought them to where they are. My primary goal is to reflect my client's humanity and dignity outward."We were so excited to bring Sophie into the pod-space for a deeper conversation, and in this bonus episode you will hear her discuss the way that folks in prison, and especially on death row, are portrayed in television and movies — and in this episode in particular!ADDITIONAL LINKS FROM OUR CONVERSATION WITH SOPHIE DAYResources for people who want to learn more and become involved:Death Penalty Information CenterDeath Penalty ActionEqual Justice InitiativeSources cited in conversation:https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=media_fachttps://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1634&context=facpubhttps://eji.org/news/the-legacy-of-mccleskey-v-kemp/https://eji.org/issues/death-penalty/LOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNETJenny Owen Youngs | @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.comKristin Russo | @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.comBuffering: A Rewatch Adventure | @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramMUSICTheme song and jingles all composed and performed by Jenny Owen Youngs.PATREONpatreon.com/bufferingcastMERCHbufferingthevampireslayer.com/shop+++Produced by: Kristin Russo, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Sophie DayEdited & Mixed by: Kristin RussoLogo: Devan Power+++We acknowledge that we and our team are occupying unceded and stolen lands and territories.

Noted Gillian Anderson enthusiast Laura Zak joins us in conversation for today's coverage of The X-Files S1E13: "Beyond the Sea,"! We discuss Gillian's hold on generations of queer women, Scully's character finally being given enough emotional room to stretch her legs (and be called "Dana"), the CHEEK CARESS, and Jenny's childhood dream of riding in on horseback to save beautiful women. Something for everyone.We also have a special segment today in conversation with Sophie Day, a Capital Mitigation Specialist who works with folks on death row, and who sheds some more light on media portrayals of folks on death row and the system itself.
