Smodcast: Kevin Smith 2.0?

Warning: Smodcast is not for everyone. It carries the dreaded EXPLICIT tag on iTunes. You have been warned.

Hosted by Director Kevin Smith and Producer Scott Mosier, “Smodcast” is a wonderful look into the (messed up?) lives of the men responsible for “Clerks” and it’s bastard stepchildren sequels. I must admit that I’m a bit biased. “Smodcast” is like a dream come true for me. I am not alone in thinking that the commentary tracks on most of Kevin’s movies are (sometimes) more entertaining than the movie itself.

The format is very plain. Kevin and Scott in one room just chatting about random stuff. Think of it as a conversation that you are eavesdropping on. Most of the topics come out of Scott or Kevin’s personal lives. Topics can range from the bizarre (Kevin having a “Bachelor’s Day” in high school) to the just plain perverse (Kevin’s masturbatory habits).

The music tracks under the main audio are funny, but only work really well with earbuds (at least for me). I also wonder if they are stretching “fair use” a bit on some of the songs. Nevertheless, the music makes the show more interesting.

I think that it would be cool to see a video podcast of this show. I think that it would be very popular. Maybe Kevin and Scott could be just leaning against a wall chatting with one another. That would see fitting.

If you are a fan of Kevin’s (or Scott for that matter) seriously consider subscribing to “Smodcast”. The opportunity to get a glimpse of what is really going on in Kevin’s head is too hard to pass up. If you are a fan of his films, you will love this.
