S7 E8: "The Mediocre Maleeni"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast

This week we are heckling boring street magicians while we discuss “The Amazing Maleeni”! We’re talking how Billy LaBonge could only exist in 2004, how Mulder and Scully are embroiled in their sick, twisted games and pulling the rest of us into it, how Scully demands in her rider that Mulder be the eye candy at the autopsy, their triumphant return to the Craddock Marine Bank, and how troubling it is that they do let an innocent man go to prison in this one! We address the real controversy of the episode that Scully only wore that top hat for 0.2 seconds, how we all at heart want to be in cahoots, and whether or not Vince Gilligan is a mysterious guy. And if there’s one thing you take away from this episode, please remember: Magic is all about misdirection. That is so important.
