- CTV has issued an official press release announcing the
start of Kevin’s Degrassi run this January 31st, in Canada. Here’s a snippet:
After nearly two decades and public endorsement of the franchise, Smith is now able to fulfill his self-proclaimed longtime fantasy of starring on the show, opposite his favourite Degrassi leading lady, Caitlin Ryan, played by Stacie Mistysyn.
“I got to make out with Caitlin Ryan…for hours†said Smith. “It was pretty hot. Just take after take…I essentially got to play kind of a leading man, you know – which barely happens to me in the real world, let alone films. Usually I wind up kissing a f*$#ing monkey or somethingâ€.
In the much-anticipated three-episode story arc, Smith and Mewes find themselves in Canada, researching a Jay and Silent Bob sequel called Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?. The pair stumbles into the surreal, but very real-life world of Degrassi Community School, and decide to shoot the film at the school, using Degrassi students as extras in the film. Also starring in the fictional film is Alanis Morissette, who in actuality has played God in two of Smith’s previous projects.
While working on the movie, Smith meets Caitlin Ryan (Mistysyn) and things get very interesting. Ever the opportunist, Smith pursues Caitlin, and in turn threatens her relationship with Joey (Pat Mastroianni). All the while as Degrassi hurtles to its season finale, life at school continues to be interesting for it’s students. Craig (Jake Epstein) continues to struggle with manic-depression as he deals with the impending summer apart from Ashley (Melissa McIntyre), and the catfight continues between the very competitive Paige (Lauren Collins) and Manny (Cassie Steele).
- Jay & Silent Bob Strick Back airs unedited, uncut on Comedy Central’s Secret Stash again this weekend, Saturday night, at 1 AM. It’s
always a blast seeing an uncut Smith flick on basic cable, especially the one that hit close to the all-time record for the f-bomb. That’s all for now.
See you again soon! Thanks for stopping in.
