S1E7 - Ghost in the Machine; or, ChatGPT does a Murder

June 2, 2026 · 1 h 41 min

Show notes

This week in our rewatch of The X-Files, we're frantically installing antivirus software as we download season one, episode seven, Ghost in the Machine! Join Dash & Melz (longtime fans and couple) and Angel (first-time watcher, Dash's mom) as we try to find out what the hell's going on in the Eurisko building.


We're talking grandparents and AI slop, speculative tech, and Scully committing crimes against markers and computer screens alike. Mulder has a rough one this week, depending on Scully to save his ass (again) and learning that even if you do everything right, a corrupt system can still make you hurt the person you're trying to help.


Along the way, we're joined in our endeavors by a guy that mom can smell through time and all our homies hate, watching Scully get dirty as she's sucked and blown, and discussing the TRUE origins of X-Hamster!


If you're reading this, you're a friend.
