  • First X-Files Episode Directed By A Woman (2000)
    Jun 2 2025

    It took seven seasons, but it finally happened with Gillian Anderson's writing and directing debut, "all things". The FIRST X-FILES EPISODE DIRECTED BY A WOMAN is a poetic meditation on coincidence, circumstance, Buddhism, transcendence and healing. It's got a soundtrack featuring 90s electronic stalwart Moby. And Mulder goes to Stonehenge in it! Plus, there's some sexy stuff too! Join us as we discuss the episode, its place in time, and take dips into the MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There!

  • First Roller Coaster (16th Century, 1884)
    May 19 2025

    What began as "Russian Mountains" evolved across Europe, and eventually, found their way to the good ol' U.S. of A... In 1884, one man wanted to use his vast fortune--NO! Not to help anyone!--to keep a recently re-unioned American population from getting too drunk, too horny, and too gambly... So he built himself a roller coaster, and with it, he made even more money (which he did not share), but at least he gave us all the gift of post-mule speeds, and the exhilaration that comes with it! Join us to learn about the FIRST ROLLER COASTER! Plus, we get Springy in the MouthGarf Report, and especially confounding (and that's saying something) in I See What You Did There!

  • First David Lynch Film (1977) with Michael J. O'Connor
    May 5 2025

    It's a fever dream, a dream about a fever, and a fever about a dream. On this episode, we're joined by guest and friend of the pod, Michael J. O'Connor as we talk about 1977's Eraserhead--the FIRST DAVID LYNCH FILM. We're talking strange babies (critters), tall hair, pipes all over town, and next door neighbors. Really, the episode defies a single explanation, just like its subject. Plus, we talk MouthGarf, play I See What You Did There, and have a damn fine time doing it too. Lastly, we bid a fond farewell-for-now to Chelsea... Thank you so much for being part of this show! We love you!
