"The answers are there. You just have to know where to look."
"That’s why they put the 'I' in FBI."
-- Special Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, The X-Files: "Pilot"
It is happening again...My co-host with the most Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! In this episode, we begin exploring Twin Peaks actors appearing on The X-Files, starting with the pilot episode of The X-Files from 1993, introducing David Duchovny as Fox Mulder, Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully, William B. Davis as Cigarette Smoking Man, and Zachary Ansley as Billy Miles!
LET'S ROCK!
In this episode, Xan and I discuss things like not having a problem if people wanted to punch Georgia's governor in the stomach, The X-Files filling the Twin Peaks void, character actor William B. Davis, Don Davis appearing in Look Who's Talking, Xan being a fan of The Vanilla Ice Project, Chris Carter going against stereotypes and making Mulder the believer and Scully the skeptic, deleted and cut scenes from the pilot, David Duchovny having great legs, wondering how Mulder found out Scully was being assigned as his partner in time to do research on her before they met, wondering where Mulder got his can of red spray paint, our disappointment that David Patrick Kelly never appeared on The X-Files, Mulder initially being very reckless and eating his sunflower seeds, wondering why Billy Miles wasn't under video surveillance at the psychiatric hospital, the introduction of the nasal cavity implants and the concept of human/alien hybrids, Mulder still being the kid who witnessed his sister Samantha being abducted and his comparison to Bruce Wayne, Xan's love of the Flukeman, Ghostwood Mail from DJ Nik and Jesse Jackson, '90s syndicated horror TV shows, Mulder and Scully having a working relationship, Nicholas Lea being so good at being horrible as Krycek, Xan and I being X-perienced, and more!
