Pluto TV leaned all the way into the world of UAPs and UFOs with 'The Fan Is Out There,' a delightful 9-day binge fest dedicated to all 11 seasons of, 'The X-Files'. Dropped into an off-grid bunker in Joshua Tree, CA, the experience turned from a watch party into a full-on descent into paranormal chaos. Think corkboards covered in red string, snacks that felt suspiciously thematic and daily confessionals that captured every sleep-deprived theory spiral. It was spooky, silly and soaked in nostalgia, exactly the kind of campy devotion the series has inspired for decades.
At the center of it all was Molly Hottle, crowned the ultimate X-Phile for her deep-cut fandom and willingness to fully commit to the bit. Inside a bunker that looked like it could double as one of Mulder’s fever dreams, she tore into season-by-season briefcases stuffed with clues and treats, crossed paths with Robbie Amell and embraced every eerie, overdramatic second of the experience.
When I caught up with her from inside the bunker, her excitement came through loud and clear, along with what pieces of hideaway she would smuggle home when given the chance. I also couldn’t resist asking which conspiracy theory from the show she secretly wished would turn out to be real, because if you are going to spend nine days surrounded by alien lore and government cover-ups, you might as well pick a favorite.
For anyone ready to start connecting their own red strings, Pluto TV keeps, 'The X-Files' on standby with both live channels and on demand episodes.
