It's SATANIC PANIC TIME on The X-Files!

The Pensky File's Clay McCormack sits down with me to discuss this fun episode about a New Hampshire high school run by a cult of devil worshippers.

I mean, there's a lot to talk about you know what I'm saying? We discuss the ins and outs of this particular episode... what works and what doesn't. For the most part, it does work. But it falls prey to the typical X-Files problem of overstuffing your episode with ideas that can't be properly concluded in just 45 minutes. 

We also discuss matters of context... would an episode like this even be done on a modern genre show? What is the modern day equivalent of "Satanic Panic." Have the paranoid concerns usually reserved for the tabloid set become too "real" to be the meat of an escapist horror film?

Anyway... it's a good talk. 

Dig in.
