The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 5 Episodes 13 & 14: “Patient X” & “The Red and the Black”

The truth is out there. In here? Who knows. But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out.

This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) get into an oily, faceless extravaganza in The X-Files. “Patient X” and “The Red and the Black” see Mulder and Scully surprisingly switch roles as they look into the mystery of the Spender family and a new alien rebel threat. It’s a battle royale with the Russians, the Syndicate, some charred corpses, and plenty of black goo.

Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 5, Episodes 13 & 14, “Patient X” & “The Red and the Black.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].

Married couple Mike and Angela Bloom travel to the FBI basement to crack open The X-Files. Every week, the two cover a single or group of episodes of the influential sci-fi series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, which Angela has seen many times, but Mike has never. They’ll bring their different perspectives to this first watch/rewatch of Mulder and Scully’s adventures as the podcast goes hopping through the show’s first nine seasons.
