In this episode Cass (co-host of the Star Wars podcast Distant Echoes) and I talk about season one episode Shadows! We discuss lots of spooky spirits in movies and talk about our favorite ghost movies!

In this episode I give horror movie recommendations based on X-Files season 1 episode 5: The Jersey Devil. I also talk about the urban legend of the Jersey Devil and the history of how it changed over the years.

Here is a link to an article on reddit that I mention & found very helpful & interesting:

Also a note/correction:

I mentioned that The Last Broadcast came out the same year as The Blair Witch Project but it was actually released in October of 1998 & Blair Witch came out July of 1999. My bad.

In this episode I am joined by Doug Fink (from The Glitterjaw Collective) to talk about The X-Files episode Conduit & give some horror movie recs!

Derek B. Gayle from The Glitterjaw Collective joins me to talk about S01E03: Squeeze. We'll give some recommendations for horror movies that fit the vibes of the series' first monster of the week, Tooms!

As promised: I did look more into the etymology of PHrogging VS. Frogging and there doesn't seem to be a clear or consistent reason it is spelled with a PH but the spelling of frog as phrog does seem to have started as slang for a frog that is better than a frog so should be spelled phrog (or a frog that is sad & therefore must be a phrog?). I could not find any clear path from that spelling to it being used as a term for someone that lives in someone else's space without them knowing but you can have a lot of fun looking at the definitions on Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=phrog

Thanks for listening!

This week your host, Ben, gives recommendations for horror movies based on the very first episode of The X-Files - "Pilot" or Coma Kid Assists Alien Abductions

I talk about all the horror movies I watched in 2025 and at the end I give my TOP 10 and speculate if Mulder and Scully would enjoy those movies!
