The totally dope/metal Kevin Smith Appreciation Thread

What a wonderful thread, will enjoy going over and reading it in full later. Always happy to see some Kevin Smith love, I have always enjoyed his Viewaskew films and I can watch them over and over again.

I really enjoyed Reboot it delivered exactly what I wanted and an so glad I was able to venture out and see it on the big screen.

 

And another installment of Kev and Ralph's Commentary on the Batman '66 series, this time with episodes 15 and 16, featuring Cesar Romero's Joker:

Since Kev is back in New Jersey right now, Marc recorded a new Blackman Beyond, this time with Yetide Badaki of "American Gods" fame to talk about, among other things, "Lovecraft Country" and Batman Day:

 

Kev talks to local media in Red Bank, NJ, about the recently opened Mooby's Pop-Up Restaurant:

 

Kev is back in L.A. and just has time to meet Marc Bernardin at the Scum & Villainy for a new Fatman Beyond, with Special (Zoom) Guest Ryan Liebowitz of Golden Apple Comics, before a hot date with the Missus:

 

Now online, here is the 10 Year Anniversary episode of Jay & Silent Bob Get Old! recorded at the Grand Opening of the Mooby's Pop-Up in New Jersey:

 

^ Huh. Taken down for some reason. Wasn't a bootleg upload, but on Jason Mewes' own YouTube channel. Oh, well.

Kev and Marc were back behind the bar at the Scum & Villainy for a new Fatman Beyond:

 

After a near-month long break, Ralph and Kev are back on providing commentaries the 1966 Batman TV show, this time for episodes #17 & 18, featuring the one-time villain False-Face:

Kev zoomed in to Schmoedown head honcho Kristian Harloff's 1 on 1 video podcast to talk, among other things, his next match in the Schmoedown:

But it's Kev getting to talk about himself, so of course, it's over two hours long.

 

I finished up a rewatch of the View Askewniverse films last night. Some I haven't watched in 15 years or so. Mallrats I haven't watched since I originally saw it in the theater. For the most part, they all still make me laugh my ass off, which I was very surprised at since I was going into the rewatch expecting most of it to be meh. Dogma is still my fav by far. The version of Clerks I watched had the animated funeral scene in it which I never saw or realized I owned. Definitely a nice wtf treat. It was fucking hysterical and my favorite part of the movie . Clerks 2 was the only one that I'm a little on the fence on. The first 3/4 of the flick really don't do much for me. The ending cracks me up though. Reboot was a much better film too after seeing all the previous movies and being able to pick up on all the easter eggs. I'll def do another rewatch in another 15 years.

 

Kev and Marc, once again behind the bar of the Scum & Villainy Cantina, in a new Fatman Beyond:

Note: After the livestream on Sunday, CBS/Paramount apparently objected to the free advertising through Kev and Marc playing and watching the NYCC trailer for The Stand, so it had to be blurred out.

 

This didn't take long; Kev and Marc are back behind the bar at the Scum & Villainy Cantina to once again do a new Fatman Beyond:


Also, Arrow Video, the company behind the new Mallrats BluRay edition, hosted a Q&A with Kev:

 

And Kev met back up with Ralph to watch another two-part episode of 1966 Batman, episodes 19 and 20 of season 1, the introduction of Catwoman:
