The SModcast Effect…

March 26th @ 9:39 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Many of you may have noticed slower loadtimes or possibly even some timeouts at News Askew today (and last Monday). Here’s why: When a new SModcast comes out, all the folks who subscribe to the podcast are automatically downloading copies, all at once. Plus, there’s just the casual downloaders who are grabbing the file as well. We’re still sharing server space with Quick Stop Entertainment and some of the other Askew sites, so if they’re slow, we’re slow. Not much we can do about it but ask for your patience. Sorry for the slowness, though the good news is that when you see it, you know that a new SModcast has just been released! Speaking of which…

SModcast The Seventh!

March 26th @ 9:37 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Brad & Chris

  • Right on schedule, Kevin and Scott’s brilliant dialogue continues with the arrival of their seventh episode this morning, now available for immediate download/listen EXCLUSIVELY at Quick Stop Entertainment. Here’s the rundown for this week’s almost-hour of fun:
SModcast 7: An Icelander Showing You Your Own Beating Heart –

In which our heroes marvel over the success of Wild Hogs, discuss theater-jumping with parental consent, lament a child’s lack of keys, talk about Scott’s sister yet again, fear sleeping on a foreigner’s couch, puzzle over the chicken-hawk compulsion to be featured on Dateline, show no interest in sex with teenagers, and have fun but don’t run.

Get your butt over to Quick Stop Entertainment and enjoy! Subscribe and contribute to the site throttle-down (but hey, we love that you love SModcast) via iTunes or Feedburner!

  • Kevin’s got a cameo in the number one flick in America right now, as TMNT took the number one spot at the box office this weekend. His cameo has just a few lines, though we did find humor that it was the JERSEY Devil attacking his diner. Catch TMNT in a theater near you, now playing (and catch Grindhouse in just 11 days, man are we ever STOKED for that one).
  • Late notice: Catch Clerks and Mallrats, uncut and Back-To-Back, on Encore tonight! Kicking off at 8:00 on Encore East, and 11:00 PM on Encore West (All times EST).
  • On www.zip.ca, a Canadian DVD rental site, they currently have a poll question asking the following: “The world is full of people who are determined to find fame, fortune and infamy. Who is your favourite self-made celebrity?” Of the choices: Cindy Margolis, Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, Tila Tequila, Tom Green or Kevin Smith. At presstime, Kevin is the favorite at 58.94%! Polls do change, and this, we believe, is only available to members of the site for voting. Vote if ya can, and we’ll see ya back soon!
