Noted Gillian Anderson enthusiast Laura Zak joins us in conversation for today's coverage of The X-Files S1E13: "Beyond the Sea,"! We discuss Gillian's hold on generations of queer women, Scully's character finally being given enough emotional room to stretch her legs (and be called "Dana"), the CHEEK CARESS, and Jenny's childhood dream of riding in on horseback to save beautiful women. Something for everyone.We also have a special segment today in conversation with Sophie Day, a Capital Mitigation Specialist who works with folks on death row, and who sheds some more light on media portrayals of folks on death row and the system itself. We highly encourage you to listen to the full interview, found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/86682645The full conversation with Sophie will also air in the main feed this Friday!Producer LaToya Ferguson gives "Beyond the Sea" a scary rating of 1/5 Thousands Of Souls Entering My BodyJOIN OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE EVENTS IN BOSTON & BROOKLYNSeptember 9th at Arts At The Armory • September 10th at The Bell HouseAll information: https://www.bufferingcast.com/liveLOCATE YOUR HOSTS UPON THE INTERNETJenny Owen Youngs | @jennyowenyoungs; jennyowenyoungs.comKristin Russo | @kristinnoeline; kristinnoeline.comBuffering: A Rewatch Adventure | @bufferingcast on twitter, facebook, and instagramMUSICTheme song and jingles all composed and performed by Jenny Owen Youngs.PATREONpatreon.com/bufferingcastMERCHbufferingthevampireslayer.com/shopADDITIONAL LINKS FROM OUR CONVERSATION WITH SOPHIE DAYResources for people who want to learn more and become involved:Death Penalty Information CenterDeath Penalty ActionEqual Justice InitiativeSources cited in conversation:https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=media_fachttps://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1634&context=facpubhttps://eji.org/news/the-legacy-of-mccleskey-v-kemp/https://eji.org/issues/death-penalty/+++Produced by: Kristin Russo, Jenny Owen Youngs, and LaToya FergusonEdited & Mixed by: John Mark Nelson and Kristin RussoLogo: Devan Power+++We acknowledge that we and our team are occupying unceded and stolen lands and territories.
