Brian O’Halloran Joins Cast of Clerks at Fan Expo, and He’s Definitely Supposed to Be Here Today (Interview)
This October will mark 28 years since Kevin Smith’s directorial debut Clerks hit theaters.

Retro Review: DOGMA Starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino
Yes, I realize 1999 wasn’t that long ago. 21 years ago, St. Louis had a football team, I had a head full of hair and sagging was cool. 21 years later, my hair is gone and now the in-style is wearing pants so tight it shows off your camel toe. Yeah, I wish some things […]
Review: Raleigh Supercon 2017
Before I delve into the amazing splendor that was Raleigh Supercon, I must give a shout out to my North Carolina con-family: Jenn (Jenna Say What???), Jenny (Goth Mama Cosplay), Stormy (Tiny Villain Cosplay), and Kayla (Travelin’ Chui). You are some of the most kind, wonderful, and sweet people I’ve ever met and I want […]

Jason Mewes has come a long way from simply playing “Jay” to his longtime friend Kevin Smith’s “Silent Bob.” The actor, and now filmmaker, has toured all around the world, speaking at conventions and travelling with his podcasts.

60: Kevin Smith’s ‘Tusk’ Starring Justin Long, Michael Parks
A slow September rolls on but Kevin Smith certainly gave us something, um…different to talk about thanks to Tusk. It’s an age-old tale of a man and walrus as only he can tell it. But does it only work for Smith aficionados? We will dive in. (Does that count as a walrus pun? I’m not […]
Movie Review: ‘Tusk’ Starring Justin Long, Michael Parks
“Is man indeed a walrus at heart?” This is one of the pseudophilosophical questions posed in Kevin Smith’s new film Tusk, the first film adapted from a podcast (see Smodcast #259 “The Walrus and the Carpenter”). Not so much a horror film in the traditional blood and guts fashion, the Clerks director’s latest opus is […]
22: Reel Spoilers Rewound – ‘The Sixth Sense’ Starring Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment
This week it’s a special edition of Reel Spoilers. Something we’re calling Reel Spoilers: Rewound. It was a light week for Hollywood. Yes, we know Best Man Holiday made $35 million this weekend. But four white guys sitting around talking about a film targeted towards African-American women sounded like a recipe for disaster. Instead we […]
