• Will & Scott return with their newest edition of MP3-based podcast, Radio Askew. To enjoy the program, all you need is an MP3 player or a PC with MP3 capability (and seriously, if you’re reading this, you got one). This week’s show has interviews with Scott Mosier, Brian O’Halloran, Stash Manager/Board Moderator Christian and that loveable and crazy Pratfall Guy (Stunt Bump), all from the recent Mallrats event which we’re still lamenting having to miss. Last week, they broke the big Clerks 2 Wanda Sykes cameo — Don’t miss this week’s to see what surprises are in store.
• More kudos for the legendary Clerks from IGN today. In their recent article on 10 modern-day Black and White DVDs you must own, Clerks kicks off the list at #10. Check it out:

• An unrelated Askewniverse article, but a Clerks reference pops up in it. See if you can spot it. It’s not tough. Later folks!

• It’s funny, folks seem a little kinder when they know someone’s watching. Kevin’s talkback responses over at Aint It Cool have now spawned their own NEW thread, in which Kevin is also responding to a few queries (easy to find, too, as he writes in all black, in case you’re just skimming). Read on to hear what Kevin would do with a scene between Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba. And marvel at his attempts to create the longest AICN talkback thread. Ever.

Oh, and one final interesting tidbit (thanks Martin) that we missed from Kevin’s last string of replies…He’ll likely have Clerks 2 footage to show in Calgary! Look:

If that’s not a reason to go, we dunno what is.

• As promised, Kevin delivers a double dose of coolness today at the Clerks 2 video blog, with TWO new video entries in the video journal now known as “Train Wreck”. We’re first introduced to the new feature with a fun mockumentary of those old black and white new reels, and BRIEFLY get to meet some of the film’s crew. Very fun stuff.

The second installment, “Halfway To Randal”, features Kevin discussing his rehearsal process. In it, you can see Trevor, Jeff, Brian, and Jen all practicing lines…Try as we might, we couldn’t make out any dialogue from the film (though it does seem like we’ll see Dante and Randal having another conversation while driving somewhere). THAT we know. And, you’ll find out what two halves make a complete Randal, from the mouth of Jeff Anderson himself.

We’re loving this feature so far, and know it’s only going to get cooler as the weeks go on. Keep your eyes peeled here or to the Clerks 2 Blog for the latest and greatest of the “Train Wreck” video diary saga.
