Stash West: Radio Askew Coverage & Photos…

October 9th @ 12:40 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by

  • Once again, and possibly for the last time ever, View Askew fans lined the streets of Westwood, CA over the weekend for the final event at Stash West – Kevin’s book signing. We’ve got a couple photos above for you from the event. Got a report or a story on your day? Let us know.

    Want more in-depth coverage of the event and the festivities afterwards? Our pal Will at Radio Askew has you covered. For the first time in Radio Askew’s 54 episodes, Kevin Smith himself is a guest, a major guest on this on-location episode, live from Stash Westwood. The show, taped live and uncut at 1 AM in the morning, captures the party atmosphere at the store and features 38 minutes of Will and Kevin discussing a variety of topics. The loglines, direct from Radio Askew themselves:

      | LIVE show from the West Coast Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash!
      | Kevin Smith and Bryan Johnson in the hizzy!
      | Kevin talks SModcast.
      | SModcast, mixed at Skywalker Ranch?
      | Kevin tells us why he does the VA Poker Games.
      | Kevin Smith almost chose Dexter over signing books.
      | Kevin’s top 4 TV shows on air right now.
      | Another retelling of what happened with BSG.
      | Where’s Mewes’ iPhone?
      | How did Kevin get his iPhone?
      | Will comes off as a homophobe (way to go Will)
      | Brief Poker Tournament recap.
      | About ‘My Boring-Ass Life’
      | Kevin on his Letterman Experience
      | Kevin vs. Radio Askew?
      | Kevin a Master of All Media?
      | Will incorrectly credits Malcolm Ingrim with Ethan Suplee’s alternative Mallrats title.
      | Will owes Kevin a handy.
      | RUN MING!


    Kevin does indeed confirm that pre-production on Zack and Miri happens in November, and filming in January. With cold, snowy temps in Pittsburgh, could THAT be our shooting locale? We’d sure love it as it’s just a 3 hour drive into set for us if that’s the case. Also, we second the nomination for “Dexter” as one of last year’s best shows — The first season was indeed fantastic. Check out season 2, airing now on Showtime. But there’s so much more.

    Visit the official Radio Askew site to check out this episode and all of Will’s great work over the years. Like SModcast, it’s a free MP3 podcast that’s done purely for the joy of it, as a gift to all the fans out there. Kudos to Will on the ultimate “get” – A live Kevin Smith exclusive interview!

  • Thanks to a loyal scooper, here’s a direct scan of that Playboy magazine mention from this month, where Kevin is named as one of today’s great actor-directors. As always, click to blow up through inline image viewing magic, to see what great company Kev’s in the sidebar with.
  • We know you saw “Jersey Girl” and the famous “Sweeney Todd” ending…But it was also a surprise how many folks who saw the film weren’t familiar with the musical. With Tim Buton’s new version, now available in trailer format at Yahoo, maybe the joke (and performances) will be more generally understood by audiences for future viewings.
  • And last, but certainly not least today, Rosario Dawson makes Film Threat’s list of “The Fifty Best Breasts In Movie History”. You can watch various YouTube videos for each of the gals as evidence. Of course, her “Clerks II” rooftop scene is their proof in this case. Enjoy, and we’ll see ya…SOON!
