  • Jason Mewes will be appearing this Thursday, December 21 (TOMORROW) as the guest host of The Checklist on ReelzChannel, the new cable/satellite network that is everything about movies, 24/7. The Checklist, airing Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. ET, is a show that gives movie lovers a humorous rundown of the latest and hottest releases each week in theaters, on DVD, on PPV, on VOD and on premium channels. The following press release just came across the news desk:
Viewers get a checklist of what they will be getting from the movies- crazy characters (check)… non-stop action (check) …. explosive effects (check) … and lots of the other essentials for a great movie experience.

With this Thursday’s new episode, Jason is first celebrity guest to host The Checklist and though he is an experienced film actor, this will be his first time hosting a TV show, an experience that he found very rewarding.”

“I really enjoyed doing this guest host gig on The Checklist,” said Jason. “ReelzChannel was really accommodating and they gave me the chance to try something new with their show. I love movies and hosting a show about them was a lot of fun.”

In this week’s episode of The Checklist, Jason will be running down the list of this week’s new releases, including the new Rocky film in theaters, The Black Dahlia out on DVD and Clerks II, now available on VOD, which is a movie that Jason might of heard of or something…

Additionally, ReelzChannel.com has an INTERNET ONLY exclusive interview with Jason en route to the studio from his home, where Jason talks about: his tattoos, working with Kevin Smith, Clerks II, his new film that he is in about vampires called “Netherbeast Incorporated,” working with Paris Hilton in “Bottoms Up” and the comic book store Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. You can find the video of the interview posted up at around 6 PM EST tomorrow. Watch for it, and if your company gets the new channel, catch Mewes on the show tomorrow night!

  • Some “Catch and Release” press caught by one of our Canadian readers — This scan comes to us courtesy of Chatelaine Magazine under the “Must See Movies” heading. You’ll find a short synopsis and a nice little mention of Kevin and his speaking role.

  • One vigilant scooper caught a Dogma mention during a Jeopardy airing last night — Check out the screen grab AND the video from the “Film Gods” category during Double Jeopardy!
  • Dark Horizons reports that Affleck and Damon may team up again — BEHIND the camera. Says Damon:
“Ben and I found a project to co-direct that we might be able to get off the ground. We’re just kind of on the hunt for something good. Directing feels like a natural extension, having written and then acted for all these years. It just feels like I gotta try it.”
  • And finally today, you’re seen “Evening With”, you’ve seen “Evening Harder”, but what about “An Evening WITHOUT Kevin Smith”? The clip comes to us from the DirtyRoad Studios team, who are big fans. Funny stuff, guys. See you next time!
