Scratchcard Lore

At this point, it is quite impossible to talk about Rush without also mentioning Chronicle. And we can't! We get into how similar the two instances are and how they diverge quite wildly.We talk about the villain's lack of imagination, the welcome reappearance of Chuck, and how Mulder doesn't get really obsessed with the impossible shot pulled off in the climax. Definitely puts the JFK conspiracy to shame.Also how network censorship makes things nastier.Imagine if you will, reading this post. You go to click the link and knock over your coffee, right onto your keyboard. You stand up abruptly and knock your chair backwards and it collides with the bookshelf. It sways and a box on top topples over and lands heavily on the ground.The thump dislodges the plaster in the ceiling of the room below you and kills the armed gunman coming to murder you.Implausible? Maybe. But that's the Rube Goldberg-ness of this episode where we discover weirdness like how scratchcard payouts work and Shia LeBeouf's early career.Support the show
