Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This pair of stand-alone episodes from the third season spotlights the two sides of the series. "Pusher" (episode 17) is the gripping tale of a killer who uses his voice to control men's minds in this literal battle of wills between Mulder (David Duchovny) and the self-described "American Ronin" Robert Modell, who calls himself Pusher (Robert Wisden). Helmed by Rob Bowman, one of the series' strongest directors, this sleek, spooky thriller leaves the conspiracy aside for a tale that combines science and the supernatural in the form of an evil, amoral genius who uses his gift to terrorize and menace. "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" (episode 20), from the fevered mind of Darin Morgin, sparkles with imaginative wit and playful twists on convention. The story, of a possible alien abduction that may in reality be a cover-up for secret air force experiments, is told from the differing points of views of witnesses, all interview subjects of "reality book" author Jose Chung (Charles Nelson Reilly). Morgin takes the premise a step further, transforming the re-creation of events according to the teller of the tale: Rashomon with a satirical slant. With Bowman at the helm delivering Morgin's inventive screenplay with deadpan accuracy, this episode's dry wit and satirical skew has become a fan favorite. --Sean Axmaker

First off, I'll mention the "other" episode on this tape, "Pusher", by saying that it's an above-average episode. It's the story of a man with a terminal brain tumor, and the tumor has given him the ability to force his will onto other people. He's using this power to get other people to injure or kill themselves, and Mulder and Scully are sent to stop him. The climax is a doozy, as the man forces Mulder to play a deadly game of Russian roullette. But the OTHER episode - "Jose Chung's From Outer ... Read More

Both episodes on this tape are worth watching over and over (I should know). If you're not a regular fan of the show and are looking for something that stands alone, this is the tape for you. "Pusher" is a phenomenal look at an interesting idea. It is wonderfully acted, and Anderson and Duchovny shine in their very "emotional but not REALLY" way. "Jose Chung's..." is one of the series most self-aware episodes, but it still manages to convey a deeper meaning about how people are "all... alone." BUY ... Read More

Although the "Pusher" episode left little impression on me, I give this video recording five stars for the latter episode alone. Written by Darin Morgan, known for funny and intellectually subtle "X-Files" scripts (as well as for playing the infamous "Flukeman"), "Jose Chung's from Outer Space" ranks as one of the best episodes in the series. Charles Nelson Reilly portrays perfectly the eccentric Chung, who interviews Scully for a "non-fiction science fiction" book about an alien abuction and ... Read More

Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" is my all-time favorite X-F episode, beating out War of the Copraphages and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. Yes, I'm a Darin Morgan fan. JCFOS throws in everything but the kitchen sink but, as in a great novel, all begins to make sense upon repeated study. I can't believe anything this good ever made it onto network television! Thank you to everyone associated with its creation......

"Pusher" is close to flawless in terms of plot, characterizations, and execution. It's an X-Files classic. "Jose Chung's "From Outer Space"" is also a classic, but I believe you have to be a regular viewer of the show to understand it all. In "JCFOS" Mulder and Scully are much of the time the antagonists of the story, so the viewers see a different perspective of them than usually seen. It's interesting, and highly entertaining. I'm getting the urge to go watch it now.
