“SModPAST” Brings SModcast To Your Screen!

  • Every once in a while we’re surprised by an out of the blue find on the ‘net, and this sure is a pleasant one — A fan of SModcast has taken a few of the show’s more memorable bits and turned them into Flash animation. What first seems like it may be a basic cartoon gets more detailed as things move along. Watch the guys for costume changes and hilarious side bits that fit just perfect with the story, along with clever references to movies past (even a “Zack and Miri poster in the background of a more recent bit). These remind of us the bits that fans used to do for some of the memorable “Howard Stern Show” clips over the years, and seem very much inspired by that. Kudos to the author, and here’s hoping there’s more.

    Check out the first (and only?) episode of “SModPast” over at NewGround. It features the opening moments of the first cast, Harry Scotter, and the spider/scorpion story. Great stuff, which we sincerely enjoyed.

  • A Hollywood Reporter article on the proposed new cartoon from Mike Judge (“Beavis and Butthead”, “King of the Hill”) wisely notices it’s the first foray for ABC into the animation realm since the “Clerks” cartoon way back in 2000.
  • Wanna see the View Askew production “Small Town, Gay Bar” at home for free? You may be in luck. For those who have the Logo channel on their cable system, the film is available as part of the OnDemand program until February 17th. Most major cable systems now carry this (we can confirm it’s a part of the Comcast package). Enjoy.
  • “Jersey Girl” will soon premiere on German free-tv, and a local magazine there has listed it as “Movie of the Day”. Best we can do now is a photo of the ad, a translation is on the way for the curious.
