The eX-Files: The X-Files 1.07 Ghost In The Machine

Welcome to The eX-Files, a Beyond Buffering podcast where hosts Jenny Owen Youngs and Kristin Russo cover The X-Files one episode at a time, spoiler free. Have you ever wanted to reboot your computer and have it come alive with the ability to think and feel and MURDER?! Listen, COS is just trying to survive, ok? It's not the computer's fault that the Defense Department wants to use technology for evil and that Brad's scruffy mind has to give it a virus to prevent world destruction!! Scruffy minds weren't meant for this sort of thing! HE IS DOING HIS BEST. (*COS voice* Brad... whyyyyyy.) It's S1E7: Ghost In The Machine, and don't worry because the AI survives and now, thirty years later, lives among us. bee boo bee boo bee boo

LaToya Ferguson gives this X-File a scary rating of 1/5 NON-MURDEROUS SCRUFFY MINDS
