The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 8 Episodes 20 & 21: “Essence” & “Existence”

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) finish off season 8 with a double-header (and decapitator). “Essence” and “Existence” has Scully finally give birth, as a variety of heroes and villains rush to get to her before the others do.

Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 9, Episodes 1 & 2, “Nothing Important Happened Today” & “Nothing Important Happened Today II.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to xfiles@postshowrecaps.com or bloomfiles@postshowrecaps.com.

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.
