Hi. I have 2 boxes of Kodak TXP 320 unopened.
The story is, I kept them in my grandpa's fridge, and he defrosted the thingy by accident. Now the box of film is soaked! I know the negs are inside the wrapping thingy, but it too is moist. Hmm, goner ?

When storing boxes of film in the freezer compartment, it's a good idea to seal them in freezer bags and thaw them before opening, in order to keep moisture condensation from reaching the film.
Can't tell until testing. Make sure the inner bag is completely dry before opening in the dark. If the sheets of film are wet, they're a goner.
Good luck.
Kodak films, both roll and sheet are in hermetically sealed foil laminate packaging, inside the boxes. These are waterproof to such things as the moisture from defrosting. You should be just fine.
