We are breaking our own rules for this episode! Baby Snatcher, from May 2024, got Beth thinking about the X-Files, one of her all-time favorite tv shows. So, we decided to watch it and talk about it! Listen to our recap and review (and love for David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) the two-part episodes End Game and Colony from Season 2.

This dark comedy follows the strange true story of Wanda Holloway, who was accused in Channelview Texas in 1991. Holloway was accused of hiring a hitman to kill Verna Heath, the mother of Holloway’s daughter’s supposed cheerleading rival. And then everyone tried to cash in, including Holloway and Heath. It’s a bizarre movie, and a bizarre story. But it stars Holly Hunter, and we love her!
