The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 5 Episodes 3 & 5: “Unusual Suspects” & “The Post-Modern Prometheus”

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) don Cher wigs and FCC buttons as they discuss two quirky episodes from the beginning of The X-Files season 5. “Unusual Suspects” takes us back to 1989 to see the series of unfortunate events that brought the Lone Gunmen together. Then, they get into Angela’s personal favorite X-Files episode, “The Post-Modern Prometheus,” a Frankenstein tale that’s far from black and white.

Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 5, Episodes 6 & 7, “Christmas Carol” & “Emily.” 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.
