Awesome review. This is one of my favorite episodes. I can’t wait for 8 more reviews to finally see you review my all time favorite episode. It’s getting closer.
Mulder: "Yes, Bambi, you're so hot, I now believe my sister was abducted by an insect swarm. No, I'm totally serious, my entire worldview has now changed."
To me, the robotic roaches being an otherworldly scout drone might be the most terrifying thing in the entire series, because it implies there may be a race so advanced no one has even heard of them.
"Her name is Bambi?" that might be one of the best moments in the show. Enjoyed the back and forth between Mulder and Scully but I don't think there any other FBI agent pairings that'll hug the phone in the bed waiting news from a partner. Also this wasn't a good pair to watch during breakfast. :)
War of the poop eaters is one of my favorite episodes and is also the title of a late night cable movie from the 90s I watched when I was a kid. Totally different from the X-Files episode though.
Totally agree, one of my favorite episodes from season 3, which is full of great episodes. Have you read Thomas Ligotti's spec script for the X-Files ("Crampton"?) It's pretty weird, but I think it really works as an X-Files. Worth a look.
I have the script on my computer along with the one that eventually turned into the movie final destination. I'm not sure what I want to do with them yet.
COCKROACH WRANGLER?! That's a job? AAAIIIIIEEEE! Also, wow, I had never heard of that Millennium spoof! I always loved the recycling of actors on this show. (Though I often can't place them unless it's pointed out. I kind of appreciate my brain for that.) And then many of them went to Supernatural.
13:43. What a pity...a giant unsolved nothingburger episode. Roaches kill several ppl, and we don't know why. And they stopped just because "mad scientist blew himself up." I can't help but wonder if this was originally a two parter that would've filled the holes in, but didn't due to time constraints of being converted to a one-parter.
i was thinking this was going to be another episode Brand-X which is one of my top 3 favorites, but this one is good too. funny thing is, im a big insect, invertebrate -enthusiast. i love all insects and i refuse to cause harm to any. i really enjoy studying and observing the social behavior of certain species and the best way to do that is with colony insects. the point of me saying all that is that i have a roach colony (Blaptica-dubia) 🤣 and they are fascinating, amazing creatures and they make awesome pets. i plan to get a hisser colony (Gromphadorhina-portentosa) soon but the colony i currently have keeps me pretty busy. i also study spiders, i used to keep them too but now i strictly study them in the wild, more fun that way.
I do -enjoy- X-files comical episodes (and comical scenes!), but I'm not -wild- about them as a lot of viewers seem to be. I'm really into the noir and creepy episodes. Give me the UFO conspiracies and eldritch monsters 😉 PS Since you love dogs so much (me too!) have you considered a top 10 'hero dogs' movies (or series), in which the dog joins up with the protagonist(s) to fight the monsters? Example: the movie 'Prey' (that's a great one!)
There's a werewolf movie from 1996 called Bad Moon, that has a German Shephard as the main character. I definitely want to do a video on that movie at some point. I wasn't a huge fan of Prey, but I loved the dog.
Damn not only did Mulder find a town of people so nuts they make him look sane and boring but also as I'm about to day Mulder either get some friends to talk to or find a lady of the night, dress her up like Scully and live your fantasy when Dr. Bambi walks....yeah she'll do.
Apparently Gillian and David didn't like each other in real life but kept it professional. And I noticed that they were having less screen time together than the previous 2 seasons.
I love this one too. But I'd forgotten how much of it I always watch with eyes half open or my hands covering half the screen. Ugh, I HATE roaches. Makes my stomach sick. "WE'RE ALL GONNA BE BLEEDING FROM OUR NIPPLES!" One of my favorite scenes from the entire show. And one of my first thoughts in March of 2020.
@@JBSpookyReview If I'd had the guts, I would've done Scully's speech for her. At least the part about, "Everything will be ok, if you just calm down and start acting rationally!"
This is the hardest episode to watch. It's great but I really really really hate bugs. They disgust me. Wonderfully fun episode despite that though. I love the scene with Scully in the store
I don't know about roaches, but, during Vietnam soldiers and sailors used to wear pantyhose to keep leeches from attaching to them in the swampy terrain.
First watch years ago on hard. ...stuff the last thing I needed was that damn fake cockroach jump scare across the screen I almost cracked my phone throwing it. That aside great ep glad the super dumb stoner kids were there (1st appearance? Or did the ep with Scully's dog already happen? Whatever)
Being English, and also, thanks to continentalism, Europeanean, outside of a zoo, I have never seen a cockamaroach. Obviously this is because, unlike those pesky Ameriyankies, we keep our houses clean. I, of course, lie. If anything the colonials are more fastidious about such things than us filthy OG renaissanceans, we still have a bunch of buildings made of dried poop and twigs. This is partly why it's curiously bizarre that when I see footage of Renaissance Fayres it seems to be a bunch of rainbow-heads strutting about dressed as Shrek or Octoberfest wenches. S'like, we needed the renaissance in order to go find your patch of dirt let alone live on it. Not that I'm opposed to top-heavy gals wandering around in costume corsets, mind you, not at all, I'd just consider changing the name to something more relevant, like, I dunno, 'Mother Was Too Busy Drinking To Raise Us Fest'. That seems a bit more mean than usual. Try re-reading that in a Strayan accent, that usually helps. It's three in the morning, it's Monday, I have a hundred pages of script to get done today and I've started with a headache and discovering my milk has gone off so no tea for six hours. But, yeah, cockroaches seems to be mainly a north american thing and I have no idea why. We have roaches in europe, I think we invented them. We have much bigger issues with silverfish and the Strayans of course have house spiders. Not house spiders, though they have those too, I mean spiders the size of a house. Ten legged murder tanks. You'd wanna run away into the ocean but that's full of carnivorous submarines and crocodiles. What kind of country has crocodiles in the ocean? Austraya, that's who. Did you know that lightning doesn't strike in Austraya? Doesn't have to, it's work is being done. They have guard trees out there. Earthquakes technically make Straya safer. What can I say about War of the Coprophages that hasn't already been said? I imagine that was your first concern. I'd'a just made something up, to be fair. Keep the audience wondering. Like, Doctor Jeff Eckerle was played by Raye Birk who is most famous for finding the cure for anhedonic prolean rheticgoblin during a skiing holiday is Aspen. Truish story. While I was out last night someone piped up, about someone they knew, that they were a druid. I responded with 'Funny, he doesn't look druish'. I was being talked over, though, so no one heard. Waited my entire adult life for a chance to pop that Mel Brooks line and got it run-over by an idiot. Won't get that chance again. Curse you, Dog. Just saying, no relevance. Still annoying. Doctor Newton in WotC of course went on to play a near identical character in Stargate SGTK-13 and I like to think this brings those universes into one creative world. You could kinda see a lot of episodes of TXF being the result of something whacky going on at Cheyenne Mountain. There is no chance that, were I to get the greenlight, i wouldn't be pushing for a cameo by Anchovy and Anderssonson in Sasquatch P.I. Just to have Muldovia be the only human that realises Sassy is, in fact, Bigfoot, in the entire show's run. Right. Now, got to put the elephant out of the room, this episode is damn funny, but for me most memorable as it features one of the hottest stars on screen, Tyler Labine. He might be tubby, he might have bad teeth, and he may or may not vote for good or bad things, but he was amazing in Tucker and Dale, and that film featured Kristina Bowden, who is one of them people what is cursed with exceedingly high levels of hottitude because, apparently, she's fiendish bright but is only ever cast as inhumanely hot blonde. I keep wanting to double check 30 rock but that involves a very high levels of Tina Fey and surely no-one would wish that upon me. What? No, it's three in the morning this is as coherent as I get when I start the day. Raye Birk, see, whenever I see him, and that's a lot because he's no monogamist when it comes to television, I see total menace, and it always bugs me why. Then I remember him in Babylon 5 and get shivers because that man, good lord that man is horrifying. The character, of course, Raye Birk is probably a very sweet man who everyone loves because he's so tediously pleasant, but the interrogator, yeesh, perfect rendition of evil. S'difficult to explain to people how good this episode really is, like, you can say, but that's like reading a recipe for lime cheese-cake, yeah, sounds great, OK, maybe I'll try it sometime, but you'd still be going, 'no, no, you DO NOT understand! Go! GO NOW! GO FIND LIME CHEESECAKE NOW!' I think the exterminator in WotC is the reason why the alan dude in Men in Black is the way he is. I don't know, but, looks that way for me. I never understood Aliens toys. Not that kids ought not watch Alans, I don't think it's realistic to think kids won't see whatever the damn heck they wish to. I saw Alans in 87 and all that took was someone to have an older brother to borrow the tape off, and it didn't do nothing to my psyche, I've hardly ever sown my eggs in the torsos of unexpecting people. No, I just never saw the appeal. Might be my very, very heavy bias towards Action Force / Gastro-Intestinal Joe back in the dark ages, mind you. Never saw the show, though. Didn't really air here, AFAIK. I like that, by this time, Mulder doesn't even bother trying to get into the facility simply by being FBI, he just breaks in first. I like to think he's in the habit so much he'll just break into Burger King rather than use the front door, and when they complain he just pops his badge and demands a free burger, 'for evidence'. ...I'm gonna take mentioning Christmas Jones in my prior rambling response as foreshadowing... I'd buy Denise Richards as a nuculear physics, just not whilst dressed as Lara Croft or saying those awful lines with no comprehension of what any word in them means. Or that joke. Or Denise Richards actually. Or the lesbian barb. or the sitting on the tube monster from DAF. They got the wrong actress from Wild Palm Things for it, I'd have bought Neve Campbell no trouble. If someone had tried that Christmas joke in MY writing room they'd have been removed from the building. My writing room is also my living room and dining room, so, it's not like anyone is ever in it, really, I'm just saying, IF. Also, oh yeah, Bambi Berenbaum, I'd completely forgotten she was in this. Seriously. Honestly. No word of a lie. Genuinely. It's absolutely NOT the very first thing that runs through my head when i remember this episode. I barely remember her at all. Lonely single men have conventions over there?! That sounds horrible. Glad I'm not lonely. Wait. Oh, no, we British simply do the honourable thing and develop some interesting form of fatal lurgy and die whilst meticulously crafting a 1:144th scale Cotswolds brothel. That's my plan at least. Always remember, someone tried to wipe out a furry convention with chlorine gas a few years back and no one, not the professional victims, the police, the news people, no one, anywhere, ever, thought that wasn't f&^king funny. You've gotta be out over the edge for the entire species to find someone trying to mass-moida you to be legendarily amusing. The thing they missed, leastways to me, is that they had a perfect opportunity to do a secret hidden version of the Terminator. The real roaches discover some of their number are secretly robots? That's proper, that is. You could thread it all through the huge number of close ups. End it with the red-eyed final robot roach getting stepped on. Not to mention what a great idea it is that you could uncover that some people are secretly android replicas and find out that this has absolutely NOTHING to do with humans, it's just some aliens trying to observe OTHER aliens. That'd be a thingy. That'd be the sort of thingy that it'd take a special kind of detective to uncover. A private investigator, maybe. A very tall, hairy investigator. It's gonna be a long, long day... Nice to see your submarine count rising steadily :-) This was a long one even for me, sorry about that.
So glad Scully and Quequeg are getting along. If memory serves, little fella has a long life ahead of himself.
Oh he'll be around for quite some time don't you worry.
😢
@@JBSpookyReview 😃Yay!
Savage! 😅
Dude! A slapped my phone when I saw the bug on the screen😂😂😂😂
You're good! Never change!👍
Haha that wasn't me, that was legit from the episode.
Love that Scully just pops up to MA from DC like it isn’t a 7 hr drive… 💀
Haha if I wasn't Canadian I could have pointed that out.
@@JBSpookyReview 😂😂😂
She has special Scully powers
Love the Simpsons reference with the dogs with bees in their mouths 😂
Hahah I'm glad someone enjoys when I'm being stupid.
One of my favorite episodes. X-files really nails the comical episodes.
Yeah it really is great.
I did enjoy this episode and when I watched the original airing I jumped when that roach came across the screen
I freaked out when I first saw it too.
I still do.

Perfect timing I'd say.
Now that's what I call a sticky situation.
It was pretty sticky to say the least.
Maybe the shippers would've got their wish if Bambi had been a recurring character.
I think you're right.

Awesome review.
This is one of my favorite episodes.

That's going to be a fun one to talk about.
Another thank you for your video. 👍👽 And I can't wait for that famous 'Sure, fine, whatever..' episode 🙂
Haha well that one should be up sunday I think.
Come on, you missed the most important part: “Her name is Bambi?” “Yeah, both her parents are biologists.”
I cut it out on purpose. I wanted to get both Bambi's in and the scene was too long. I didn't want to get hit with copyright.
Mulder: "Yes, Bambi, you're so hot, I now believe my sister was abducted by an insect swarm. No, I'm totally serious, my entire worldview has now changed."
He was willing to believe anything at that point.
It's just a tiny detail, but I love how you synchronized the appearance of the posters with the moment she presses the red button.
Haha thanks I try.
Perfect Timing on a Sunday 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm so glad.
7:23 THOSE MITTENS ARE GIVING ME A GINGRICH!
I still don't know what that means.
@@JBSpookyReview LOL I KINDA DO
@@JBSpookyReview You'll see it pop up in the comment section a lot lol :)
3:30-i grew up in the 90s. I have never heard of this!
I heard about it originally on a podcast maybe 10 years ago.
To me, the robotic roaches being an otherworldly scout drone might be the most terrifying thing in the entire series, because it implies there may be a race so advanced no one has even heard of them.
It's creepy to think about.
I watched this episode with my grandad once and he started chuckling during the scene of the roaches crawling up that guys arm 😄
Haha that would have been fun.
@@JBSpookyReview it was 😁
I heard that if you become allergic to cockroaches you will also become unable to drink ground coffee.
Oh that's weird, I wonder why?
Alright, I'm all set to watch this episode, and THIS time I remembered to not have food anywhere near me.
That's a good idea.
"Her name is Bambi?" that might be one of the best moments in the show. Enjoyed the back and forth between Mulder and Scully but I don't think there any other FBI agent pairings that'll hug the phone in the bed waiting news from a partner. Also this wasn't a good pair to watch during breakfast. :)
Mulder and Scully are the X-Files and a big reason why I don't think a reboot will work.
12:27 Scully locks and loads again. :)
I know oof.
7:53 hilarious
I knew I had to do something, I'm just glad you enjoyed it.
Man I actually had a bunch of those Alien toys when I was a kid!

Also, wow, I had never heard of that Millennium spoof!
I always loved the recycling of actors on this show. (Though I often can't place them unless it's pointed out. I kind of appreciate my brain for that.)
And then many of them went to Supernatural.
They probably all used the same actors because the shows were all shot in Vancouver.

Ultimately nothing really happened, but I love this episode.
Like this one and Quagmire, with a Lock Ness type monster in a large lake in a small quiet town.
Very similar.
Just realised those stoners reappear in new seasons of xflies in were monster
Haha they're in the episode Quagmire later on in the season as well.
