The Bloom Files

The Bloom Files | Case Closed The truth is out there. In here? Who knows. But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out. This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) conclude their coverage of The X-Files. Angela tells Mike about the twists and turns that came from 2008’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe,” as well as Seasons 10 & 11 that came almost a decade later. They also look back at the yearlong experience of their deep dive into the show. Thank you to all who listened to “The Bloom Files” throughout the first watch/rewatch journey! We’ll see you in the stars. About The Bloom Files… Married couple Mike and Angela Bloom travel to the FBI basement to crack open The X-Files.

This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) finish off “The X-Files” season 9 with two very different episodes. “Sunshine Days” is the last Monster of the Week episode, as a blast from the past has the group facing a very unusual rerun of “The Brady Bunch.” And in the two-part finale “The Truth,” Mulder finally reappears for a culmination of the series up to that point…or at least, it was meant to be.
