The X-Files Chat Room Podcast

Jessica and Dini are two best friends who grew up watching The X-Files in the 90s, and now they are going back through the entire series with fresh adult eyes. What makes this show stand out from other rewatch podcasts is their generational angle — they spend real time unpacking what was happening in pop culture when each episode originally aired, from the music on the charts to the movies in theaters and even the news headlines of the week. It grounds every episode discussion in a specific moment in time, which adds a layer most X-Files podcasts skip entirely. With over 120 episodes and a perfect 5.0 rating on Apple Podcasts, Jessica and Dini have built a loyal following through their natural chemistry and genuinely funny banter. They bring different perspectives to the table and are not afraid to disagree, but it never feels forced or argumentative. The weekly release schedule means there is always something new to look forward to, and they are currently working through the show chronologically, tackling the Fight the Future film as of early 2026. If you watched The X-Files as a kid and want to relive that experience with hosts who share your nostalgia but also bring grown-up analysis to the table, this is your show.
