The episode where they go clubbing and their mate the courier cyclist walks out in triumph then comes coughing back out of the smoke machine as The A-Team theme plays is loving magical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txh3O66hzBo

What was that rad-looking 1970s-esque adult animated HBO Max show, and has it been shelved? It looked very cool and I would like to get stoned and watch it.

Also, X-Files is getting "re-mounted" by Ryan Coogler with a new cast.

X-Files was kind of a show of its moment, I don't know what it looks like in 2023 when the conspiracies aren't aliens and fluke men but liberal cannibal pedophile elites.

Every episode they not only debunk the myth of the week, they trace it's racist lineage back to its historical source.

Yeah, nothing about this sounds good tbh. Maybe with someone more interesting at the helm, but the visionaries behind such stuff as Creed and Black Panther? Eh.

The Creeds and the first Black Panther movie were good though, but yeah that doesn't really translate into something like X-Files

Coogler is an immense talent, I'm not doubting his ability, just that anyone could make a show following the old show's formula that takes place in the 2020s. Maybe it'll just be Fringe but called X-Files.

First Creed was surprisingly fun, second was pretty awful and it sounds like the third is worse. Original BP was fine and I’m glad it existed for the kids, but I don’t recall anyone saying anything positive about the sequel. But crucially none of those films makes me think ‘this dude should dig X-Files out of its grave’. E: I see he didn’t write or direct Creed II at least. I would personally put that top of my resume if I was him.

X-Files can only work today if they jettison any pretense of having a metaplot and just focused on monster of the week episodes. Conspiracy theory crap isn't as interesting/harmless as it once was.

Even the later seasons and revival were really flat and forgettable. X-files itself seemed to get so bored and tired with the overarching conspiracy plotline that they literally just abandoned it at one point because the aliens saw the earth and humans sucked so much rear end it's not worth trying to take over. On rewatching I just skip non-motw episodes because I know the conspiracy ultimately goes loving nowhere. X-files also only worked in the days when the internet was not yet a household utility everyone uses, it worked because even contacting eachother with early cell phones provided plenty of room for disconnects and tension and mysteries you'd just solve with your phone. S files worked because Mulder just knows errant mysterious cryptids and poo poo because that's his whole thing he picks it up and seeks it out where others aren't going to bother. Today you can just Google whatever thing and find a billion perspectives and examinations and explanations of whatever. X files worked in the gaps, it worked with wilder conspiracies that weren't easily proven or disproven. The wild conspiracy theories today aren't fun, are easily disproven and why they persist comes down to politics they aren't going to make the x files be about. The less wild conspiracies are all pretty straight forward mingling of capitalists, power, and governments, something else I don't think will be a good thesis for x files. There are some modern myths and crap and Evil has played with them, but I'd say probably 99% of that realm of material is just gonna be readapting "creepypastas." Creepy pasta doesn't generally hit at all for me, too corny and clowny and intentional. Edit: just realized I might not have seen season 11. I also barely recall Mulder having a kid who shows up Khanstant fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Mar 28, 2023 |

It's not like the original show felt obligated to do Vince Foster Clinton conspiracy stuff which was already big at the time. UFOs are having another moment along with weird horror / backrooms stuff. Really the risk is greater that they'll be too late to catch the wave. Randallteal fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Mar 28, 2023 |

Nope, in trying to describe it better, I googled "Moebius HBO Max" and it came up. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CADHf3kPnjA Looks like there's nothing out there about it getting canceled, so I guess it's still set for 2023.

Just give me the weird poo poo of the week cases and spare us all the alien invasion and dudes whispering in poorly lit rooms horseshit. “Look, Scully! The corpse has been feasted upon by jaws unlike anything in the zoological record!” “Those are platypus bites, Mulder, anyone with an even halfway mediocre education could tell that.” “..in Kansas????” *a giant platypus man with a tiny head bursts through the wall, Kool Aid style, while Scully looks the other way, winks at the camera and legs it off screen*

I hate reality shows, but my fiancée recently began watching Below Deck, and much as I hate to admit it, I got sucked in and it’s now a go-to bit of background TV.

That was the August 2020 announcement and it doesn’t seem like any other news came since. I haven’t seen Paradise PD or Brickleberry but I can imagine this being pretty dire and the sort of cartoon that Fox would commission in the early 2010s and then cancel after four episodes.
