S7 E6: "Hey Rube (Goldberg Variation)"

Scully Nation: An X Files Rewatch Podcast

This week we are trying to outthink the machinations of fate while we discuss “The Goldberg Variation”! We’re talking our need for a poker x-ray view, Mulder making entrances like Gene Parmesan for the delight of Scully, celebrate a rare Scully is right episode, get excited about Rube Goldberg machines, and note that Scully likes baseball now… That’s new. We puzzle over this confusing underground sewer laundry, notice Actual Child Shia LaBeouf, shake our heads at this revolving door of mob goons, and celebrate how much we love Maurice for a while. If there’s one thing that you can take away from this episode, it’s that you should sit down, listen to a Bach fugue and go into a fugue state. You’ll thank us later.
