The X-Files Episode Chinga with Kumail Nanjiani
Episode 176, Apr 26, 2023, 08:00 AM
Kumail Nanjiani is not only an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, hilarious stand up comedian, superhero movie star, and a total beefcake, he's also one of the world's biggest X-Files fans. The Kingcast boys could think of no one better to call in to talk about King's X-Files episode, Chinga, than Mr. Nanjiani and he does not disappoint. Kumail not only walks the boys through the whole of X-Files (including a complete season 1 re-watch list), he also asks the important questions like "is the mother a witch or not?" and "why the hell is this episode called Chinga in the first place?"
Stephen King was such a big fan of The X-Files that he asked to write an episode. The result is Chinga, this weird monster-of-the-week entry that aired during the show's fifth season about a little girl, her (maybe?) witch mother, and an evil doll that makes people hurt themselves.
