Unfilmable 7: Roadrunners
🕑 Added 2019-09-25 18:01:57 +0000 UTCThis episode introduces Lovecraft Ian, our friend who helps us find ways to justify covering Lovecraftian things on this show. While X-Files was in its late season dolrums, Vince Gilligan wrote a banger of an episode called "Roadrunners", where Scully is trapped in a small desert town by a cult that worships an alien being. This thing is a masterpiece, as it captures the creeping dread, paranoia, and disgust of Lovecraft's works. We seriously recommend watching it.

Haven't seen this after I really found Lovecraftian-themes. I've watched the whole original series of X-files about 5 times. Waiting to get the bluray box set to see it all glory HD.

It doesn't have the Lovecraftian theme, but I always had a soft spot for X-Cops from season 7. Just the absurdity of the show taking place on an episode of COPS always stuck with me.

I'd love to hear other what other eps fellow patreons recommend. I personally love Ice (weird sentence) from season 1. Which is pretty much the Thing minus the body horror.

Man, I would love to hear y'all talk about Midsommar.

I cannot express how much I love that intro music, the creepy cha cha into the synth is the content I crave lol
