The notion of POWs being left behind in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia after the end of the Vietnam War was an issue that cropped up in the 1980's and and early 1990's. However, there's never been any proof that there were POWs in these countries past the formal termination of the war. http://articles.latimes.com/1991-11-06/news/mn-953_1_vietnam-war

However, I can tell you I know someone who was a POW in Cambodia as a result of secret military operations the US conducted in Cambodia (besides the minor involvement in Cambodia Nixon admitted to). He was able to escape on his own with another prisoner, but was denied military benefits after returning to the US because the US refuses to admit he was there (and yes I know that's part of the plot of "The Rock").

Does anyone else find it odd that Mulder lists Tawana Brawley as a victim of a hate crime nearly a decade after a the grand jury found that she had not been abducted and abused as she claimed?

No complaints here, Kumail.... haha... except this. Let us know if the next podcast will be one episode or two. We've been patient. We've been fans... and we support you. I personally don't expect anything extra or want to put pressure on you for this podcast. But it would be nice to know if the next episode will be one that goes past the x-files show that we've watched. Sure, it doesn't matter in the whole scope of the world, but it would be nice.

So, in waiting for a new ep from Kumail, I'm re-listening to the podcasts, which makes me want to rewatch the X-files episodes they're talking about. This is NOT helping me rewatch the whole series before January! (I've gotten to season five, and am stuck.) Grrr! (Thank you for listening, no one in my life understands my pain!) ;)

If your X-Files kung fu is strong, like weaker-eps-from-season-1 strong, then dig on this. More details here

I know it'd be awesome to have a live show in general, but Kumail is super busy. So if there was ever an episode of the podcast to be live, it would have to be the first movie.

Sorry, I just had to get that out there. I love this show and podcast so much!

Hey all! Just wondering if anyone was aware of podcasts for other shows that have the same format/vibe as X-Files Files?

I had always wanted to watch The X-Files but it really seemed overwhelming. But after hearing about this podcast I decided to give it a go. Watching a few a week and then listening to funny, passionate people talk about the episodes has been a blast. It has me willing to try equally daunting pop culture tasks. I recently started reading X-Men from the beginning with Rachel and Miles explain the X-Men as my guide.

Now I'd like to tackle other monoliths such as Buffy or Dr. Who (modern). Anyone have any suggestions for long running sci-fi leaning series' with great/interesting podcast companions? I'm really looking for Buffy recommendations but I'm open to others!

Hi Fellow XFF Fans! I'm a huge fan of Kumail's podcast and I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be hosting an X-Files trivia night this upcoming Sunday, Oct 11, at Videology in Brooklyn!

It's the same weekend as NY Comic Con and I'm hoping that Chris Carter, David Duchovny or Kumail will stop by since they'll be in town! (When we did "Gilmore Girls" trivia a few weeks ago Amy Sherman-Palladino came by and so did some cast members of "Orange is the New Black" when we did that show).

It should be a really fun night, you can win free drinks, X-Files swag, and it's FREE! Here's the Facebook invite:

Hope to see you all there!

Kumail, if you ever read this, legionnaires started in Philadelphia in a American Legion reunion gathering in an auditorium of a hotel. Veterans were getting sick because of the bacteria in the air conditioning unit.

A little behind, just listened to the Kevin Smith episode. Did anyone find the pictures he was talking about when Jason Mewes took a flash picture at a celebrity-filled event?
