The X-Files Files is a podcast hosted by Kumail Nanjiani on the Feral Audio Podcast Network. A typical podcast episode involves Kumail and a guest discussing two episodes of the X-Files. The podcast started with X-Files Season 1, Episode 1, Pilot, and continues through almost every subsequent episode in order. The discussion often covers topics of the theatrical arts, such as characterizations, plot, writing, directing, acting, lighting, music, casting, etc. The podcast often discusses how the relationships between characters develop during the episode and how it relates to the series as a whole. Sometimes social issues, such as government experimentation or secrecy, will be discussed as they relate to the X-Files episode.
