X-Files Diaries features Annie & Jenn, two X-Philes who connected through twitter and decided to take their shared enthusiasm (and shipper perspective) to a podcast. Join them for fun, thought-provoking conversations where they obsess/rant/swoon over all aspects of The X-Files, with an unabashed emp…
The X-Files Diaries podcast is an absolute delight for any fan of The X-Files. Hosted by Annie and Jenn, this podcast offers insightful and entertaining discussions about the beloved show. Their depth of knowledge about The X-Files is truly impressive, and their love for the show shines through in every episode. As a fan, it's wonderful to hear different perspectives on the episodes we all know and love.
One of the best aspects of The X-Files Diaries podcast is the hosts' ability to provide intelligent and thoughtful analysis of the show. They go beyond just episode-to-episode reviews and instead delve into themes that run throughout the series. This in-depth approach allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of The X-Files. Additionally, I particularly enjoyed their countdown episodes, such as the Mark Snow centric episode, which provided a unique perspective on the music and soundtrack of the show.
Furthermore, Annie's vast knowledge and in-depth analysis are truly unmatched. Her grasp of the entire arc of The X-Files, including what happened when Mulder and Scully weren't onscreen, adds another layer to each discussion. Jenn brings an interesting viewpoint as well, often offering contrasting opinions that spark further discussion. Their chemistry as co-hosts is evident, making each episode enjoyable to listen to.
However, one downside to this podcast is that it may make you empathize with certain characters you previously disliked or found frustrating. In particular, some listeners may find themselves feeling empathy towards Diana Fowler due to the hosts' discussions. While this could be seen as a positive aspect for some fans who enjoy exploring different perspectives, others may prefer to maintain their original feelings towards certain characters.
In conclusion, The X-Files Diaries podcast is a must-listen for any diehard X-Phile. With their intelligent analysis, lively discussions, and undeniable love for the show, Annie and Jenn create an engaging listening experience. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering The X-Files, this podcast offers a fresh and insightful take on the series. So grab your favorite X-Files mug, sit back, and enjoy the wonderful discussions that await you in The X-Files Diaries podcast.
