Vanessa helps us get through some tough topics with the grace and care of an afterschool special, while Carolyn takes us through the only reality that matters--virtual reality!

The one and only Richard "Ringo" Langley from our favourite shows, the X-Files and The Lone Gunmen, gives us an amazing peek into the life of a busy actor, comedian, Vancouverite turned Australian, dancer, and gosh, so much else - you'll have to give it a listen to find out! Dean gives us all the juicy deets on going back to the most popular sci-if show from the 90s (you know the one), what it was like growing up in Vancouver in the 80s and 90s, and the true and completely relatable stories of a Simon Fraser University undergrad. He tells us all about conspiracy theories (Vanessa's favourite!), his documentary, The Truth is Out There, and what it feels like to be "That Guy!" Plus: what is Dean doing now? The answer might surprise you! And uh...delete this after you hear it. Check out his documentary here and consider ordering the DVD to support Dean! Closing music by Jackson Beats.

520. The End & Season 5 Wrap-Up (Plus Bonus Interviews!)
17/07/2017 Duration: 01h37minIt's the end of season 5, and we give Vancouver a proper send-off! But first, we have so much praise for Gibson Praise, do some Well-Manicured Man impressions (you don't want to miss those), compare Scully's jealousy of Diana Fowley with her jealousy towards Phoebe Green (remember her?), and in doing so, try to figure out what a true love triangle is. We're not sure we actually come to a conclusion on that one. Plus, what do the Lone Gunmen do before bed? You'll hear that answer in this episode, and dare we say, it's pretty hilarious. We also feature interviews with people (our friends!) who were extras in the famous chess scene - hear about what they heard, saw, and did! And in our season 5 wrap-up, we play some highlights, wax poetic for our patrons, and, of course, go over our ratings for the season, because we're just that meta. Welcome to the longest episode of NAXFPP! It's super fun over here! NEXT WEEK - stay tuned for a special interview with Lisa Gemino, crew member for many years of the X-Files' Va

Note: In her sugar high frenzy, Vanessa managed to throw her microphone and somehow turn it off without realizing, so her audio is very low for the last 15 minutes or so of the episode. Whoops! Say no to sugar, kids!
