Tribute to Comedic Filmmaker Kevin Smith

Our all-star cast discusses the appeal, ups-and-downs and pop culture expertise of comedic filmmaker/actor Kevin Smith.

Talking points Include:

*New Jersey culture that Kevin recreates, some surprisingly positive takes on Clerks 2

*Kevin's comic book & TV contributions

*Is him being stoned the reason for why he cries so much inbetween his geeky rants?

*We dives into some of his graphic novels and the appeal of the Clerks characters.

*How Kevin basically shoots his small-scale films w/ friends much like people he admires (Spike Lee) & how he's a mixture of a more serious Leslie Nielsen, Farrelly Brothers crudity, a Bill & Ted duo, pre-SouthPark/Judd Apatow parody guy & geekier Mel Brooks.
*Which of his serious films were rather solid and which ones fell flat?
*The change in the '90s indie film scene & art house favorites to the '00s digital underground films & mismarketing by the various studios that occurs.
*Plus, James describes a hysterical convention signing where he met Kevin in-person!
