Join Beth and I this week as we delve into the mysterious world of The X-Files, a groundbreaking sci-fi series that captured the hearts and minds of a generation. In Part 1 of our two-part special, we reminisce about the show's debut 30 years ago, exploring its chilling atmosphere (even though every city in America looked like Vancouver), iconic '90s fashion, and the fascinating blend of technology that now feels like a blast from the past.

We also take a deep dive into the series' primary and secondary protagonists, celebrating the dynamic duo of Mulder and Scully and unraveling the enigmatic character of the Cigarette Smoking Man. We share personal memories of the show's impact on our lives and discuss its enduring themes that continue to resonate.

We wrap things up with the exploration of the Scully Effect, a phenomenon that inspired a generation of women to pursue careers in science, medicine, law enforcement. Beth also reflects on her own journey influenced by Dana Scully's character and the empowering ripple effect it had on her life choices.

Next week in Part 2, we'll be discussing the two feature films and the intriguing last two seasons from the 2010s.   Remember, the truth is out there, and we're just getting started.
