This Is Not Happening: Another X-Files Podcast

Mike and Andrew tackle The X-Files with the kind of irreverent, freewheeling energy that makes you feel like you are hanging out with two funny friends who happen to be massive sci-fi nerds. Their commentary bounces between genuinely insightful analysis and laugh-out-loud tangents, and that mix is what keeps people coming back. With 184 episodes, a 4.8 rating, and a biweekly release schedule that has held steady into 2026, these guys have proven they are in it for the long haul. They are currently working through Season 8, which means they have been at this for years and are still finding fresh things to say about episodes that have been discussed to death elsewhere. The title is a nod to the Season 4 episode, and that kind of deep-cut reference tells you exactly what kind of fans they are. Their breakdowns tend to balance plot summary with personal reactions and thematic observations, so even if you remember an episode well, you will probably catch something new. The show has a devoted community of listeners who clearly appreciate the blend of humor and substance. If you want your X-Files podcast with a side of personality and a willingness to call out the bad episodes as much as celebrate the great ones, this is a solid pick.
