James Wong

Season one, episode three of The X-Files called Squeeze debuted on Fox on September 24th, 1993.

It was written by Glenn Morgan and James Wong and directed by Harry Longstreet.

In Baltimore, Maryland, an unfortunate businessman is murdered and relieved of his liver in his office after hours, but it's a locked room mystery.

We know that someone very flexible climbed through the air duct to do it, but Waste of Carbon FBI agent Tom Colton doesn't have a clue what happened, so he calls in Scully since she's in cahoots with spooky Mulder.

It's ridiculous.

So as we mentioned off the top, this episode was the first not written by Chris Carter.

It was James Wong and oh, God, I'm forgetting it now.

how am i spacing out

Mm-hmm.

And then for 1005, we have James Wong directing, and John Connor is the director of photography.

Like John Connor from [laughs]-

Wait, who that?

Oh

...

James Wong brought in? Oh, he was director of photography on a lot of Dr.

Odyssey.

Best original Disney movie ever.

So this movie's directed by James Wong, screenplay by Glen Morgan and James Wong.

They are X Files guys.

Glen Morgan.

X Files.

Yeah.

James Wong.

X Files.

This is my scouring to the Sixes rewatch from 2006.

So this is directed by James Wong, who co-wrote this with Glenn Morgan.

They're giving credit here to the characters written by Jeffrey Riddick.

So this is starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brian Merriman, and Chris Lemesh.

Nutter butter.

And it was written by Glenn Morgan and James Wong and had an air date of April 22nd, 1994.

Mom, what were you doing that day?

Dad nabbit.

Works.

And someone bought it, but the funny thing is- It ended up not being an X-Files episode, but he got James Wong, who was a co-writer on The X-Files, and Glen Morgan, my favorite writer of The X-Files, to co-write, and then James Wong directed it.

Yep.

So in a way it's kinda like an X-Files [laughs] movie, just minus any of the X-Files.

Um-

Mm-hmm

... uh, James Wong and Darren, Darren Morgan.

There was two Morgans.

All right.

First up, I recommended season one, episode three, Squeeze by Glenn Morgan and James Wong.

This one introduces Eugene Tombs, a mutant serial killer who can contort his body to squeeze through impossibly small spaces.

Now, I selected Squeeze, Dave, because it's a super early episode of the show.

You're keeping your powder dry on a few of these because we're going to have a big discussion at the end.

The next episode that came up wasn't my suggestion.

It was Season 2, Episode 1, Little Green Man by Glenn Morgan and James Wong again.

This one follows Mulder as he travels to Puerto Rico to investigate a possible alien signal from the Arecibo Observatory, while Scully is ordered to track him down.
