It's August 25, 2001, and Jay and Silent Bob have officially struck back!Just one day after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back hit theaters, Mark and Carol are heading back to the View Askewniverse to review Kevin Smith's outrageous 2001 comedy on Retro Late Fee — the podcast that asks, What if we were actually living 25 years ago?In this episode, we take a look at Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, starring Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, as the foul-mouthed duo discover that Hollywood has made a movie about their comic-book alter egos, Bluntman and Chronic, without giving them a piece of the action. Naturally, Jay and Silent Bob decide to take matters into their own hands and embark on a ridiculous road trip to Hollywood to stop the movie from being made.We'll talk about Kevin Smith, the View Askewniverse, the returning Clerks characters, the movie's enormous collection of celebrity cameos, the Bluntman and Chronic movie-within-a-movie, and all the ridiculousness that made Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back one of the most recognizable comedies of 2001.And because this is Retro Late Fee, we're not looking back from 2026 — we're experiencing the movie as it exists on August 25, 2001. No hindsight. No knowledge of what Kevin Smith, Jay, Silent Bob, or the View Askewniverse will do next. Just two people talking about a brand-new movie the day after it opened in theaters.So grab your popcorn, fire up the VCR, and take a trip back to the summer of 2001 for our Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back review!Retro Late Fee is a nostalgia podcast covering movies, television, music, pop culture, and entertainment exactly as if it were 25 years ago.

CannCon flies solo for Tuesday with Ghost calling in for a meaty geopolitics segment on the Mecca agreement, an Article 5 style defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey that has now reportedly extended invitations to Iran and Syria. Ghost walks through Turkey's rising role inside NATO, US troops leaving Iraq, and a genuinely surprising revelation about who was actually serving as the back channel into Iran, which flips the widely reported narrative on its head. The back half turns domestic, with the Supreme Court allowing some vote by mail limits ahead of the midterms, a Ninth Circuit immigration ruling, and two brave Michigan township clerks publicly inviting federal officials in to cross check their voter rolls after a whistleblower claim. CannCon closes with a WNBA eligibility story that is equal parts absurd and pointed.

Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin share their first reactions to DC Studios' LANTERNS!

Gen Con games we didn't get to last week, Restory, Big Walk, Fail Safe (1964)

LISTEN TO THE FULL (unfull) Jason Mewes interview go to www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Episode summary On a new Dopey Tuesday Teaser, Dave celebrates Hardcore Dope Eric's four-year sobriety anniversary before explaining the strange history of his long-awaited interview with Jason Mewes—Jay from Jay and Silent Bob and films including Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. After nearly ten years of trying to book Jason, Dave finally recorded with him—only for Dave's internet to fail around an hour into the conversation. Six months of attempts to schedule the rest of the interview went nowhere, leaving Dave to confront the blurry line between persistence and becoming unbearably annoying. He decides to stop pursuing Jason, make amends in spirit and release the unfinished conversation exclusively on Patreon. Jesse contributes a classic Xanax blackout story: he drives to a gas station, nods out with his foot on the brake and wakes up safely in bed with no idea where his car went. When he reports it missing, the police remind him that they drove him home, helped him climb through his window and parked the car for him. Abby shares her journey from winning a sixth-grade DARE essay contest to alcoholism, a suicide attempt, an out-of-state DUI and eventually nine years of sobriety. The daughter of two addicts who met at an AA barn dance, Abby describes praying for 90 days until her desire to drink finally lifted. Today, she is a mother, business owner and active member of the recovery community. Dave also reads Spotify and Patreon reactions to the Reddit Roundup, including praise for his increasingly elaborate guided meditations, more DopeyCon game-show suggestions, criticism of Heart Attack Doug, a possible reconciliation with Cat Marnell and an idea for episodes built around music from different periods of Dave's addiction. The teaser closes with the beginning of the elusive Jason Mewes interview before the rest disappears behind the Patreon paywall. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Analizamos la transgresora obra de Kevin Smith que rompió moldes en el cine independiente abordando la sexualidad sin la corrección política actual. En este nuevo podcast de esRadio, Juanma González y Dani Palacios charlan con el dibujante el crítico Carlos M. Mira para analizar en profundidad una de las películas más emblemáticas del cine alternativo norteamericano de los años noventa: Persiguiendo a Amy, escrita y dirigida por el cineasta Kevin Smith en 1997. Los tertulianos comienzan compartiendo anécdotas de sus años de instituto y motes juveniles antes de entrar de lleno en materia cinematográfica. Para el invitado, esta cinta es, sin duda, su favorita del director de Nueva Jersey, destacando su profunda conexión con la Generación X y el estilo característico de producciones de la época. La conversación aborda la complejidad de los personajes principales, interpretados por Ben Affleck (Holden), Jason Lee (Banky) y Joey Lauren Adams (Alyssa). Se destaca el ejercicio de autocrítica masculina que realiza el propio director a través de Holden, un hombre sensible pero cargado de prejuicios e inseguridades que acaba saboteando su propia relación sentimental. Los colaboradores analizan cómo la obra deconstruye los roles de género y expone la vulnerabilidad del hombre ante el amor y el miedo al qué dirán, presentando un contraste brutal entre el cómic comercial de superhéroes y el de corte más independiente. Durante el análisis, se examinan escenas icónicas de la película, como la cruda declaración de amor de Holden a Alyssa dentro de un coche bajo la lluvia. Los tertulianos alaban la interpretación de Ben Affleck en esta etapa de su carrera, así como la magnífica y contenida reacción de la actriz protagonista, cuya mirada transmite una mezcla de dolor, enfado y madurez. El debate resalta el estilo de dirección rudimentaria de la cinta, que se apoya firmemente en los diálogos y en el talento de sus actores más que en el bajo presupuesto con el que contaban. Un punto clave del programa es la comparación del desenlace de Persiguiendo a Amy con el de la oscarizada película La La Land. Los presentadores coinciden en que el final es un ejemplo de maduración personal, donde los protagonistas se reencuentran años después en una convención de cómics y se perdonan mutuamente con una mirada, asumiendo con resignación que su historia de amor ha quedado en el pasado pero que les ha servido para crecer. Asimismo, se comenta el inevitable distanciamiento de la amistad masculina entre Holden y Banky, reflejando una realidad muy habitual en las relaciones humanas cuando se rompen los lazos de juventud. Para concluir, los participantes repasan la trayectoria del célebre director norteamericano, comentando títulos clave de su filmografía como Clerks, Mallrats y producciones posteriores como Jersey Girl o Tusk. También rememoran divertidas anécdotas de la industria, como el curioso rumor de que Michael Mann pudo haber dirigido El Indomable Will Hunting introduciendo bandas latinas en Boston. El programa cierra con la emisión de la canción Alive, interpretada por la propia actriz protagonista en el largometraje, consolidando un nostálgico y entretenido repaso al cine de finales del siglo pasado.

Comic-Con weekend is here, and we're celebrating in style!

Twelve thirty-three in the afternoon. Monday, April 28, 2025. The electrical grid of the Iberian Peninsula loses fifteen gigawatts of generation in about five seconds. Spain and Portugal go dark together. Trains stop between stations, on viaducts, in tunnels. Airports fall back on diesel. The Madrid fire service alone logs a hundred and seventy-four elevator rescues. The national tax portal goes down and stays down until Wednesday. Police officers stand in dead intersections and run the traffic with their hands. The shopkeepers who stayed open made change the way their grandmothers had, out loud, coin by coin. Clerks did the arithmetic in their heads while the registers sat blank. Officers directed two capitals' worth of cars with a grammar of gesture older than the signal light. Everything rented from the wire stopped that afternoon. Everything carried kept working.

It's a double feature for our goodbye to Kevin Smith on E&E! First up is the shockingly emotional end to the Clerks trilogy, followed up by Kevin's newest film - a love letter to his own childhood in the 80s!

In a recent court ruling, a federal judge struck down a crucial component of President Trump's executive order that aimed to restrict mail voting, calling it "unlawful, null, and void." This decision has significant implications for the upcoming elections, particularly in states like Colorado, where mail voting is universal. As the executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, Matt Crane joins the show to break down the details of this ruling and what it means for Colorado's elections.The executive order in question would have required states to hand over their voter registration lists to the US Postal Service, which many see as an overreach of federal authority. Matt Crane explains that this would have been a major problem for Colorado, as the state's voter registration list is constantly changing due to people moving or updating their information. He also highlights the importance of signature verification on ballots, which Colorado takes seriously, and notes that the state's voter registration management is rated among the best in the country.Matt Crane also addresses the recent controversy surrounding Tina Peters, a former county clerk who has been making claims about election fraud. He sets the record straight, pointing out that Peters never received her election certification and that there were issues with ballot counting in her previous election. Crane emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in ensuring the accuracy of voter information and encourages listeners to take a closer look at the facts.Tune in to this episode to hear Matt Crane's expert analysis of the court ruling and its implications for Colorado's elections. He shares his insights on the importance of state-level election management and the need to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Don't miss this informative conversation and learn more about the issues that matter most to Colorado voters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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!
