- After putting fans through a grueling wait in anticipation of the first scenes from the next View Askew flick, Kevin announces today that the first internet-only teaser for “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” is just a few small technical glitches away from gracing our desktops:
Teaser problems: We’ve been having issues outputting a version in which the sound is audible. Odd. Once the issue’s cleared up, we’re all good.
Furthermore, a few words on the upcoming sound mix on the flick:
5:49 where I am now. Woke up to take a leak, opted to stay awake. Figured I’d do the board and email thing early, so I can dig into the flick anew. We’re gonna lock reels today for the re-mix.Thanks to our excellent sound team of Whit, Doug and George, no looping necessary.
We go back to Skywalker 6/18 for updated mix.
We’ll be here with ya as soon as that trailer goes live and brings our servers to their knees…So stay tuned, we have a feeling that footage is dropping on our doorsteps any day now…

SModcast Has Turned 50!
- We posted a story on this earlier this week, but it’s oddly disappeared into the internet abyss, so once again, in case you missed it — SModcast, the award-winning FREE podcast from Kevin Smith and special guest Walt Flanagan (sitting in for Scott Mosier), turned 50 on Monday, celebrating it’s 50th frakkin’ episode. And stronger than ever. Major congrats to the guys on this achievement, as keeping up with an effort like this, especially for absolutely no profit and just for the fan’s benefit, is certainly no small feat. Let’s take a look at the loglines for EPisode #50:
SModcast 50: Gnome Alone –In which our heroes relate ribald tales of corporate piracy, draw upon the scat games of the short and fantastical, discuss the first generation of hand-held games, and reminisce about the imaginary lengths a boy will go to in an effort to secure some free comic books.
As always, SModcast appears exclusively at our beloved Quick Stop Entertainment, and is just a free MP3 download away. Don’t miss it. Here’s to 50 more and then some, guys.

- Stephen Silver, our friend who designed “Clerks: The Cartoon” and those sweet as hell Clerks InAction Figures that tower above me here at the news desk, will design the characters for an animated movie called “Cereal Heroes”, about crime-fighting cereal mascots. We love it already — Sounds like a must-watch, especially due to Silver’s unique drawing style.
- More View Askew love from Yahoo Sports today, in fact, it’s from the same columnist who had all the nice stuff to say about the “Zack and Miri” hockey photo last week. This time, he references Dante and Randal in this article discussing the debut of iceless skating rinks in Japan :
“If you’re running around on the roof of the Quick Stop with Randal and Dante, it’s deck hockey or street hockey. So can it still be ice hockey if you’re wearing ice skates but there’s no, you know, ice?” - Film 411 writes up some nice praise for the “Clerks” sequel in their ramblings on some of the best follow-ups of all time.
- Look for a “Clerks” reference from the bassist of metal band Red Chord in this interview — Look around 8 questions in.
