Here is an old thing I recorded in 2020 from a redacted document from the suddenly relevant again document dump from Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell (1:15-cv-07433)   Apologies for the many errors but I'm sure you'll still enjoy the super awkward funny moments.   Stay tuned for the next episode in which I'll go over the new old documents and what they reveal.

This is a series I'm doing where I review every season of "The X-Files." This is a review of the movie from 1998. If you haven't viewed the YouTube version, go here: Super Awkward Fun Review of "The X-Files: Fight the Future"   I said I'd release the original version as an audio podcast so here it is at long last. The original was too long for YouTube with too many uninterrupted scenes from the movie. So I uploaded the entire original edit on my podcast site. Enjoy!   Stay tuned for more podcasts.
