New! Unidentified--Close Encounters of the X-Files Kind

New! Unidentified--Close Encounters of the X-Files Kind

How the way we look at abductions changed between the 1970s and the 1990s

We're done with Betty and Barney, but not with the subject of abductions. Not by a long shot. This episode, we talk about two different pieces of media, and how they talked about abductions. Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind has a more optimistic view, but by the time Mulder and Scully came around, alien abduction had become a completely terrifying experience. Why is that? Well, you'll have to wait for next episode to find out...We're taking one episode off, so we'll see you at the end of April.
