The Bloom Files | The X-Files Season 8 Episodes 5 & 13: “Invocation” & “Per Manum”

The truth is out there. In here? Who knows. But we’re opening up “The Bloom Files” to find out.

This week, Mike (@AMikeBloomType) and Angela Bloom (@angpalaggi) talk two very different, yet kid-focused, episodes of The X-Files season 8. “Invocation” involves the mystery of a reappearing child, and gets personal in the past of Doggett. Then, “Per Manum” dives into Scully’s pregnancy, and opens up the possibilities of who–or what–may be the father.

Next week “The Bloom Files” will be covering Season 8, Episodes 14 & 15, “This is Not Happening” & “Deadalive.” Write in your feedback for those episodes to xfiles@postshowrecaps.com or bloomfiles@postshowrecaps.com.

About The Bloom Files…

Married couple Mike and Angela Bloom travel to the FBI basement to crack open The X-Files. Every week, the two cover a single or group of episodes of the influential sci-fi series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, which Angela has seen many times, but Mike has never. They’ll bring their different perspectives to this first watch/rewatch of Mulder and Scully’s adventures as the podcast goes hopping through the show’s first nine seasons.
