2.09 Firewalker | An X-Files Podcast

It's not a space bug frozen in ice or an LED bug that only comes out at night, but it IS a fungus that looks like a stalk of asparagus and it WILL use you as its host!!!!!! We are in our casual clothes on remote location in the Pacific Northwest where volcanologist BRADLEY WHITFORD has discovered a new life form and a way to remain looking hot despite (because of??) being covered in volcanic ash! Mulder still finds time to caress Scully's shoulder while dodging mushroom spores! We find LaToya in her volcano-adjacent lair!!! 'Tis Season 2, Episode 9 "Firewalker," so please come on board our cute little yellow helicopter and join us at the Earth's molten core.

Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Firewalker" 1.5/5 Seriously, We *Still* Have “Ice” At Homes
