This was first reported a couple of years ago; Coogler says he&#39;s now spoken to Gillian Anderson. &#34;We&#39;re going to try to make something really great, bro, and make something for the real &#39;X-Files&#39; fans and maybe find some new ones,&#34; he told the team at Last Podcast on the Left.

What did you think of Raygun at the Olympics? <br/>Something else? Tell us in the comments. Of course, at Mastodon, we’re known for staying above the toxicity of other platforms, right?
