For some reason, I don’t recall a great deal of these five episode’s so had to go back and watch a couple. They are in the main, good episodes but they don’t pack the punch that others do in this series.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

The red special sounding mighty fine! And with Freddie on point, deacy’s baselines and Roger’s tasty hi-hat’s what’s not to love. Champion. Another top episode form the SPR lads.

Season 4 is now mowing along with some terrific episodes here. I still have vivid memories of the Tunguska/Terma double and have no real issues with the missing plot sections in Terma - remember “I Want to Believe”…….even in missing episodes timelines😆. Keep up the great work Bill!

I had an absolute blast joining @kevbrowncanada.bsky.social , Randy Woods and my podding pal @ianwinick.bsky.social to discuss “A Night At The Opera”. What an album, what a band.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

After a little hiatus, it’s great to be back and listening to Pank and Dave. I had NO IDEA that “My Ever Changing Moods” was a nuclear song! And what a song it is. Another terrific episode, lads.

Did I hear Quagmire at number 11? I must have misheard that. My top 5 for Season 3 Paper clip Blessing Way Clyde Bruckman Quagmire 731 Looking forward to Season 4 reviews

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Just when I thought I’d finally caught up a new Episode is released! Jose Chung’s from Outer Space takes centre stage in this group of five. Just about had everything in one 50min Epsiode that makes the X-Files so good. Right, into the next Ep!

010

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

War of the Coprophages and Piper Maru were easily my favourite out of this set of five. Krycek is back and with the oil in his eyes!

000

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Still catching up! It was always going to be hard for Episodes 6-10 to match episodes 1-5. Still, a decent run of stories and really enjoyed Nisei and 731 to continue the Alien conspiracy arc.

Starting to catch up on Bill’s excellent revisiting of The X-Files. The start to series 3 really was jam packed full of great episodes and agree with your ratings here, Bill. Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose was one of the best ever episodes.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

It was an absolute pleasure to join @metalkevin.bsky.social on this episode to discuss my top 10 X-Files episodes. Had a load of fun talking all things X-Files.

031

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Humbug at #7 and Anasazi at #4?! Have you gone mad, Bill? Anasazi #1, Humbug #2 Nice recap and interesting thoughts that Season 2 didn’t quite stack up to what you remembered. My memory is that seasons 4 and 5 were peak X-Files. Will be interesting if that stacks up.

What a fantastic episode from the lads at Bang! Maybe it’s the scientist in me but I loved the interview with Andy Oppenheimer and loved how the science and music all goes into the melting pot and we get a fascinating interview.

D’OH!! No more Blackadder! But in its place we have The Simpsons, and Ian and Michael are back to start another podcast obsession. Great first episode, and I think we’re on a winner @ianwinick.bsky.social @mocca1976.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/e...

The Simpsons podcast I never knew I needed in my life. Ian and Michael left us all devastated by wrapping up their Blackadder podcast, so it's great to have them back yacking about a different show! ❤️

To kick things off, we revisit the first series, complete with its wonky animation, quaint storylines and Homer sounding like Walter Matthau on sedatives. And this month’s Spotlight On Springfield shines a light on Troy McLure, who you might know from such podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/e...

A brilliant run of 5 episodes in this lot. Humbug is a personal favourite with a rating of 6/5. Brilliantly directed and acted. The two alien conspiracy episodes also keep the narrative moving along nicely to the epic conclusion……of series 2.

011

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

What a lovely episode “love” was. Really enjoyed hearing everyone’s story of love ❤️. Now onto the “Comfort” episode 😀

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

What a pleasant surprise to hear The Stranglers song “Nuclear Device” get a run on this week’s episode. Being an Aussie, I know this song well and its meaning. The opening refrain is from another famous traditional Australian song “Waltzing Matilda”

000

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

Another mixed bag of five and I don’t have too much feedback for these 5 episodes. Some good ones coming up though! Keep up the good work Bill!

011

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Another fantastic episode of @thesoundofcmoffatt.bsky.social. A really interesting mix of music and stories all around Turmoil.

010

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Loved that this week’s episode featured two of my favourite tracks from two great artists. Genesis with Land of Confusion and Talking Heads with Life During Wartime. Both cracking songs and another cracking episode.

131

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

As indicated from your scores @metalkevin.bsky.social , a bit of a mixed bag in this lot of five with Accession being the clear favourite which started my love of Nick Cave music. Next 5 also a mixed bag IMHO, before we start a strong run to the finish of Season 2.

Strong start to Series 2. I think Host is my favourite out of this bunch of 5. One of the first really weird monster Eps I recall. Next bunch of 5 has Ascension which introduced me to Nick Cave! Thanks for another entertaining episode, Bill.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Another very enjoyable episode of @thesoundofcmoffatt.bsky.social. I’m sure everyone has a story of their own when it comes to “Independence”.

001

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

🎶 Freedom fighters, come and go, Bloody righteous, and mentally slow 🎶 Love this song and the album it comes from. Top tier Roger Taylor and top tier episode lads, with some cracking songs.

Another terrific episode of @thesoundofcmoffatt.bsky.social. Loved hearing what songs mean Joy to Al the guests.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Another thoroughly enjoyable episode. It’s great fun listening to the other guests to see if their “Firsts” follow a similar link to mine or if they are completely different. Great listening.

033

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Could be my favourite episode so far (apart from the down-under one of course!) Great songs and a great guest. I’d never heard of the movie, Threads, but was riveted to the conversion as the movie sounds rather disturbing and obviously left a deep impression on people who watched it in the 80s.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

It was wonderful to hear Bill and Jessica talk about Jessica’s favourite episodes. Always great to hear the different generations share a love of something in common. Hambug and Anasazi are right up near the top for me as well.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Hard to argue with your rankings at the end Bill. Particular the ones in the “S” category. Erlenmeyer Flask would be my number 1 as well. James Wong and Glen Morgan were excellent writers for the X-Files. Really looking forward to Season 2 as there are some absolute classics.

000

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Season 1 done already! Agree that the last 5 Eps in series 1 are fantastic. The “reveals” and “revelations” in those first 4-5 series were always great on first viewing and Erlenmeyer Flask is one of the all time best.

Michael J Smith @mocca1976.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Excellent episode from the boys @bangpodcast.bsky.social I knew most of the songs this week! I had not heard of @scarredforlife.bsky.social before so will check them out. I vividly remember the Nakita music video from back in the day.
