Episode S1E17 - E.B.E.; or, Matt Anderson Wants More Deep Throat
Matt Anderson wanted Deep Throat. Unfortunately, the only thing being swallowed this week is the truth.
Matt, host of Does This Come in Chromium? and co-host of Bloody Bits, joins Dash, Melz and first-time watcher Angel for “E.B.E.” A UFO goes down, a suspicious truck rolls through Tennessee, and Mulder becomes convinced an extraterrestrial biological entity is being buried inside a military cover-up. Scully has doubts, Deep Throat keeps making everything murkier, and the government seems determined to make sure nobody knows which conspiracy is the real one.
It’s also the first appearance of the Lone Gunmen, three paranoid weirdos who were supposed to be a one-off and immediately became essential. We dig into how early X-Files fans helped push the show toward more UFO mythology, more conspiracy and, apparently, a whole lot more Deep Throat.
Meanwhile, Matt introduces Shark Ears Surveillance, we investigate radioactive bird poop, wait for the blue light special on Deep Throat, question whether an alien can be heavy enough to wreck a truck, and uncover more from the roughly 900 hours of deleted footage filmed for every episode.
Never seen The X-Files? You’re good. Angel hasn’t either. We take you through the whole episode from beginning to end, so longtime fans can revisit the conspiracy and newcomers can walk straight into it with us.
If you’re reading this, you’re a friend.
