X-Files: Fight the Future

from Unclear and Present Danger Hosted by Jamelle Bouie

On this week’s episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John discuss the 1998 X-Files movie, directed by Rob Bowman with a screenplay by X-Files creator Chris Carter. Starring, obviously, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, the X-Files movie tells a convoluted story of hidden aliens, government plots, a secret cabal of evil rich people and a global conspiracy. It is a perfect encapsulation of 1990s conspiracism and we had a great time discussing it. Episodes come out every two weeks, so check back then for an episode on Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg’s World War II action thriller. And over at the Patreon, we have an episode on Confirmation, the 2016 drama on the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. You can find that at patreon.com/unclearpod.
