Our Review Published January 5, 2009

This was an early Now Playing Podcast review, shorter and spoiler-free. It was not intended to be part of our X-Files Retrospective Series.

Brock and Elisha return to review The X-Files: I Want to Believe, reuniting David Duchovny (Evolution) and Gillian Anderson (The Last King of Scotland) as Mulder and Scully, with Amanda Peet (Saving Silverman) joining the cast. Arriving a decade after the last big-screen outing, this standalone mystery trades aliens and mythology for a darker, more grounded case. But is this the X-Files movie fans have been waiting for, or does it feel like a detour that leaves the bigger questions unanswered? Join our hosts as they dig into the tone shift, the performances, and whether the franchise still has that old spark, or if the truth really is still out there.
