Like Scully and Mulder from the X-Files, a skeptic metaphysician is caught between two worlds—the allure of life's mystical mysteries and the grounding force of scientific scrutiny. It's a quest to peel back the layers of the 'woo,' seeking to find what's real, what's illusion, and what lies in the realm of endless possibilities.Now, imagine embarking on this quest with your life partner, and turning it into a dynamic, Signal Award-winning show. Meet Will Rodriguez and Karen Endsley, the real-life husband and wife duo behind 'The Skeptic Metaphysicians'.
