Forget all you X-Files posers. I'm a true Duchovny connoisseur who was there from the early days of Red Shoe Diaries at 2:00 am on Showtime.

When conversations about shows like X-Files eventually morph into mentions of Twin Peaks, I always get reminded of ABCs Wild Palms. There seemed to be some real aspirations for that miniseries. I've not seen it in years but I've always sort of felt it was due for a pop culture revisit from someone.

I recently watched “Don’t tell mum the babysitters dead” for the first time since it was a new release at the video store. Duchovnys hair is something else in it. The movie was pretty great to revisit though, metallicabreath.

20 Blunts posted:im slightly gay for david duchovny for sure, but what an interesting career. always in bad movies with good casts and/or directors, it seems. just half-assing it with the best of em' on movies they knew would suck a little bit To me that's what made X-Files a little special. It was this seemingly low budget show with B-movie level cheese. Even the music sounded like it was from an 80s horror. He could have easily been "that guy" of direct-to-video erotic mystery thrillers. I think his true calling would have been a secondary character on a popular sitcom. Duchovny was treated for sex addiction years ago, and it eventually ended his marriage.

I don't care much for his music but his novels are decent to pretty good. I really liked the last one, Truly Like Lightning. I think they're filming that one and Bucky loving Dent.

Hyrax Attack! posted:If you like guest stars before they made it big, 80s Twilight Zone is a goldmine. Frances McDormand, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren… the hits keep coming. Plus so many pre-Star Trek actors show up like Frakes & Tim Russ, plus a rare non-Trek Brent Spiner. Morgan Freeman was a cast member on The Electric Company in the 1970s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K00rz73s_zU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjEuZB2U8aQ

I'm re-watching 80s Twilight Zone and the first half of season 1 is good but then it falls into heavy boomer themed episodes. One stars a very young Scott Grimes and it about a woman that choose a career over having kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy_Lost_(The_Twilight_Zone) This episode is basically telling themselves they are still cool even thought they became Yuppies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_I_Married While watching these old seasons I saw a familiar author's name pop up. https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/twilight-zone-george-r-r-martin/

They also show a lot of OG Godzilla movies and ‘60s/‘70s/‘80s B-movie horror, schlock, and sci-fi. It’s like reliving a local UHF channel in the ‘80s.

The movie is real good (and could probably just be called Creepshow 3) but the show had some fun episodes, too. My favorite is the Tom Savini directed episode where a college student finds a tiny door in her bedroom that keeps opening at night.

Dark Skies was a really good X-Files-like show on NBC but only got one season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Skies They had everything plotted out for 5 seasons and it was pretty good from what I remember.

Skinner starting to go shirtless more in mid season 4 is big time funny, they knew what they were doing. also "everything sucks for Krychek" is the best part of the soap opera era.

i tried re-watching the whole series a few weeks ago after not having watched any X-Files in probably 15 years, but after a couple episode i realized i just wanted to jump around and watch single episodes so i've been doing that. i forgot how good some of the MotW episodes are but Bad Blood. i liked Bad Blood a lot more on a re-re-watch.

I remember Tooms appearing in two different episodes seemed really groundbreaking to little me, monster of the week, but recurring? Mind blown. Now, years later, mind blown again when I had to google "staircase xfiles" to find the character name and landed on the wikipedia for the actor... my god what a creep. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Hutchison

He is in later seasons of LOST which make those a little more harder to watch. But then go watch Green Mile and you'll feel better.
