Clip from This Week’s “The X-Files” Explores the Mandela Effect
The phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect made headlines back in 2016 when countless people on the internet falsely remembered that comedian Sinbad starred in a film titled Shazaam back in the ’90s. In reality, the film never actually existed, making the nonexistent film a pitch perfect example of the Mandela Effect.
As defined by Know Your Meme, “The Mandela Effect refers to a phenomenon in which a large number of people share false memories of past events, referred to as confabulation in psychiatry. Some have speculated that the memories are caused by parallel universes spilling into our own, while others explain the phenomenon as a failure of collective memory.”
This week’s episode of “The X-Files,“ titled “The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat,” centers on the Mandela Effect, with Mulder and Scully finding out how the X-Files themselves may really have originated. In this sneak peek clip from TV Guide today, a stranger confronts Mulder in a parking garage, presenting “a conspiracy to end all conspiracies.”
“The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat” airs Wednesday night, January 24.
Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
