Welcome back to Not A Bomb! — the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: wis it a bomb? This week is extra special as Troy and Brad celebrate six years of cinematic redemption, deep dives, financial flops, and the occasional chocolate-covered pretzel.To mark the anniversary, the guys are heading back to the mid‑'90s to revisit Kevin Smith's sophomore effort — Mallrats. Released in 1995, this follow‑up to Clerks was supposed to launch Smith into the mainstream. Instead, it belly‑flopped harder than Brodie Bruce off an escalator. Critics weren't impressed, audiences stayed home, and Universal watched its teen‑comedy gamble turn into a full‑blown financial wipeout. Of course, like many Not A Bomb favorites, Mallrats eventually found a second life on home video, becoming a cult staple for slackers, comic‑book nerds, and anyone who has ever loitered in a food court.But how does Mallrats hold up nearly three decades later? Is it an unfairly maligned comedy that deserved better, or a chaotic, juvenile relic that only works if you lived through the era of Magic Eye posters? Troy and Brad dig into the film's legacy, its infamous production woes, and the early signs of the View Askewniverse taking shape.Snootchie bootchies — and listen now!Want to help support the show?

Anni ‘90, un budget irrisorio e, come set, il negozio in cui lavorava il regista: nacque così il primo film di quello che sarebbe diventato l'universo cinematografico di Kevin Smith, View Askewniverse. La pellicola, in bianco e nero, racconta la giornata di due amici che fanno i commessi in due attività adiacenti: uno vende videocassette, ma passa il tempo nel minimarket in cui lavora l'altro, chiacchierando, litigando e incontrando clienti di ogni sorta.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kevin Smith's Clerks The 1990s were a strange, wondrous, and hopeful decade for Cinema. Three decades later we look back on those mid 90s attitudes, trends, screams, and shouts. With the emergence of Sundance, The Weinsteins, and voices such as Tarantino, Fincher, Rodriguez, and others, Independent Cinema was flexing in a way that threatened the studios in much the same way the 70s thrilled, excited, and - most importantly - challenged that audience. This week we look at one of the loudest and unlikliest voices to emerge from this decade; A Coming of Age, Adulthood focused story following the lives of convenience store workers, Kevin Smith's 1994 classic Clerks. Thirty-two years later the anger, frustration, and hopelessness of our collective futures remain. Smith (working as a convenience store clerk while supporting his passion for writing and filmmaking) would give purpose to that anger with a foul-mouthed, pessimistic, and hopeless look at blue-collar jobs and the people who are swallowed by them. Through the lives of two best friends, Dante & Randall (with a couple of pot-dealing morons names Jay & Silent Bob singing the chorus), Smith gave voice to the fears, inhibitions, and cynicism of the 90s and the working mans' struggle. Most importantly, how does all of this relate to us? Well, we are all mired in the aimlessness and calcification of the 40 hour work week. Clerks spoke volumes to a generation unsure of itself. Thirty-two years later that volume has not dimmed. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many, Many Thanks.

Jason Mewes joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Five Things with Jay Mewes, his new YouTube series that turns celebrity interviews into a hangout inside a convenience store. In this conversation, Mewes opens up about why the show feels like the perfect full-circle project after Clerks, how the format brings out unexpected stories from guests, and why his episode with Kevin Smith revealed stories even he had never heard before. Mewes also talks about becoming part of the Murdoch Mysteries universe, his love for comfort shows like Psych and Monk, and why he would still love to see Jay and Silent Bob enter Fortnite. He even shows off his gaming setup while discussing Call of Duty, Chronic Blunt Punch, and the fan campaign to get Jay and Silent Bob skins into the game.The conversation also gets personal as Mewes reflects on recovery, nearly 16 years of sobriety, and the fans who tell him his openness helped them through their own journeys. Plus, he teases the future of Jay and Silent Bob, including Kevin Smith's already-written Jay and Silent Bob's Star Wars script and hopes for another big-screen reunion.Visit Nerdtropolis.comFacebook.com/nerdtropolisInstagram.com/nerdtropolisTwitter.com/nerdtropolisTikTok.com/@nerdtropolis
Christopher Downie's filmmaking journey began the same way many indie filmmakers start—with VHS tapes, cheap cameras, and a deep obsession with movies. But after discovering Kevin Smith's Clerks and the View Askewniverse films, filmmaking transformed from a hobby into an identity. In this episode, Christopher shares the unbelievable story behind Shooting Clerks, the ambitious biopic about the making of Clerks, and how years of fan films, persistence, and sheer determination eventually earned the support of Kevin Smith himself.The conversation dives deep into the realities of independent filmmaking: actors not showing up, productions collapsing, hard drives failing days before premieres, crowdfunding chaos, and the constant need to improvise under pressure. But beneath the filmmaking war stories is a larger lesson about creativity itself—that great indie filmmaking often comes from limitations, not resources. Christopher's story becomes a reminder that the DIY spirit that inspired Clerks decades ago is still alive today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Sean and Parker are back! They discuss a couple of things before doing a commentary for the Clerks unaired pilot from 1995. It stars Jim Bruer, Keri Russell, the girl from Ernest Saved Christmas, one of the guys from the Buffy movie and somehow had no involvement from Kevin Smith! All this and then the boys discuss the Godfrey Ho classic "Undefeatable" from 1993. The movie has a reputation for being terrible, but is it? In it, Cynthia Rothrock is an underground fighter who helps a cop track down a Norman Bates-esque killer who happens to be very good at karate. The film is known as "Bloody Mary Killer" in Asian markets. Direct Donloyd. After listening to the episode, join the Patreon or subscribe to the YouTube page!

This week on the Weekly Warp Pipe Podcast, we're diving into hidden and indie movie gems people forgot
Clerks III (2022)Director: Kevin SmithCast: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Jason Mewes, Kevin SmithKevin Smith had a heart attack, rewrote his legacy, and somehow made a movie that retroactively makes us like his older films less. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, we close out "April and the Threequel" by finally confronting the most threatened episode in show history: Clerks III. We've been dreading this one for four years. It was worse than we remembered.In this episode, we discuss:The Nostalgia Cash-In That Went Too Far — Clerks III is essentially Kevin Smith remaking his own movie while reselling a heart attack story you've already heard on his podcast and live tour. We've paid for this content before.Comedy That Forgot to Be Funny — The film swings for emotional drama without earning it, leaving beloved characters stranded in a tone that doesn't fit them. It's neither funny enough to work as a comedy nor written well enough to land as a drama.The Rosario Dawson Problem — She was one of the best things about Clerks II, and here she's reduced to a ghost who tells her grieving husband she's sleeping with celebrities in heaven. It's a baffling choice that retroactively damages the previous film's ending.Who the Hell Is This Movie For? — Too recycled for longtime fans and too niche for newcomers, Clerks III only seems to work if you watched it live with Kevin Smith in the room. At home on your couch, it just doesn't work.We Also Talked About:WrestleMania 42 (ESPN) (2026) — Both hosts tuned in out of habit and left empty. Over-commercialization, ads during wrestler entrances, a CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns main event that nobody asked for, and a streaming situation so fragmented neither host could even find where to watch it.Louis Theroux Documentaries (Dailymotion) — Sean went deep into Theroux's hour-long doc series including Extreme Love (dementia and caregiving), a trans kids episode, and Heroin Town USA — a gutting look at opiate addiction in a small Virginia town from the mid-2010s.Cop Game (Tubi) (1988) — Directed by Bruno Mattei under the alias Bob Hunter, this Filipino-shot Vietnam War action film stars Brent Huff and features miniature toy cars in chase scenes, two songs on a loop, and an ending so abrupt it barely qualifies as one. Sean watched it. He has regrets. He's still going to watch more Bruno Mattei films.Hellmare Trailer (Youtube)— John got an early look at this upcoming horror film from local filmmaker Victor Gabriel (of Blood Gorge and Cruel), and he's genuinely excited. Meta horror elements, great visuals, real craft on display. A small premiere is coming — watch this space.Movie Theater Massacre (Tubi) (2023) — Shot at the historic Redford Theater in Redford, Michigan, this COVID-era local slasher features a butter knife as a murder weapon and a Linnea Quigley cameo. It's not great. It exists.Scanner Cop 2 (Youtube) (1995)— John watched it. His dog was audibly disturbed by the psychic screaming noises. Kane Hodder is in it. Robert Forster is in it and deserved better. The highlight is a villain who threatens to "kill you so bad."New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.
What does Ontario’s Better Regional Governance Act, 2026 actually change, and who ends up with more power at the local level? TVO Today columnist and #onpoli cohost John Michael McGrath breaks down what’s in the legislation and what it is meant to fix. We then turn to the government’s claim that strong mayor powers are speeding up housing construction, examining what the evidence shows so far and whether it has come with democratic tradeoffs. Joining the conversation are David Arbuckle of the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, Lindsay Jones of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, and Natasha Salonen, mayor of the Township of Wilmot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Smith, , creator of Clerks, Dogma, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob, Comic Book Men and so much more once upon a time in 1998 was given the opportunity to write Daredevil for Marvel Comics. This was a huge undertaking as many Hollywood writers and directors had a passion for comics, but never brought their talents to the medium. However, after encouraging words from the creative team of Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti helped Kevin Smith take the leap to add a new chapter to Matt Murdock's life. Kevin then goes on to write the storyline Guardian Devil to help launch the Marvel Knights imprint, which was an exciting time for Marvel Comics. This storyline features many themes of romance, betrayal, faith in oneself and beliefs, test of humanity, ethics, and some much more in this thrilling 8 issues series, all with ties to the larger Marvel Universe. If you are a Daredevil, the tv show, or other Daredevil stories we encourage you to check out the infamous comic book run.
The Second Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy We were well into our hearts of darkness research for APOCALYPSE NOW, which was to be the second part of this month's trilogy, when one host decided to subject his poor wife to the View Askewniverse with Kevin Smith's CLERKS and the other host had to be a third wheel. That's as close as we come to any uncomfortable sexual situation because like the film we are discussing... we are all talk. Enjoy!

Next Tuesday, April 7 is the Spring Election in Wisconsin. On today's show, host Ali Muldrow is in conversation with two local election officials: Madison City Clerk, Lydia McComas, and Dane County Clerk, Scott McDonell. They talk about absentee and early voting, voter turnout, and the vicious environment around elections created by the Trump administration. McDonell says that Madison is the gold standard for early voting in the state. That's because the city has made early voting available at libraries even at night and on the weekends. He says that this measure has increased voting by 3-4%, especially engaging the casual voters out there. He's noticed an increase in-person early voting this year, closer to pre-pandemic levels. McComas discusses the quick turnaround between the Spring Primary in February and the Spring Election in April and all the work that her office does to make this quick transition seamless. She says that no matter how you cast your ballot, it will be counted in Madison and that she's working to rebuild trust after 193 ballots went uncounted in 2024. They reassure listeners that our local elections are safe and secure, despite the erosion of trust in voting that the Trump administration has fostered. And they talk about efforts to help students engaged in voting, how they have been threatened at their jobs, increasing access to voting for the elderly and eligible voters in Dane County jails, and the importance of showing gratitude to poll workers. If you want to find your polling place, register to vote, or learn what's on your ballot, go to myvote.wi.gov. Lydia McComas is Madison's City Clerk. She graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in political science. She holds a graduate certificate in election administration from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Her previous role was as Voter Engagement Division Manager with Hennepin County in Minnesota. Scott McDonell has served as the Dane County Clerk since he was first elected in 2013. In 2014, McDonell became the first clerk in Wisconsin to issue a same-sex marriage license, and he is the only clerk in the country to oversee two presidential recounts in 2016 and 2020.

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff continue their season on Single-Season Animated Shows with the infamously mishandled, cult-favorite Clerks the Animated Series!There's a lot to unpack about one of television history's greatest What-If's, so let's switch from drugs to fireworks, spend money on a Super Bowl Ad for a show we hate, and be INCREDIBLY dated, as we tackle one of the most egregious examples of Disney's misplaced greed that, unfortunately, only lasted one [-third of a] season. And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!
