“(SModcast) is my favorite thing in the world right now,” Smith said. “If that’s taken away by virtue of the fact that … money gets involved, I mean we’ve got enough money from our other jobs, we don’t need money for SModcast. Let’s keep that pure and simple and fun. And you know, I don’t know, there’s something kind of neat about it.”

When he’s not catching up with Mosier, Smith also uses SModcast to showcase other friends and collaborators, such as artist (and manager of Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash in Red Bank) Walt Flanagan and writer-director Bryan Johnson, as well as Smith’s wife, actress Jennifer Schwalbach, and their daughter, Harley Smith.

“People, for the last two years we’ve been doing it, have been like, ‘Hey, bring in Ben Affleck and bring in Alan Rickman (who both co-starred in Smith’s 1999 film ‘Dogma’),'” Smith said. “On the last movie (the upcoming ‘A Couple of Dicks’) we were shooting with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan and they’re like, ‘Well do a SModcast with them,’ but that’s not the point. It’s not like a fucking late night show, … it’s just two people sitting around talking, and it’s nothing new, it’s not reinventing the wheel, but we just don’t feel the need to bell and whistle it up, because we feel like, and based on all the reaction from the people who listened and wrote in comments over the last two years, we feel like the special effect or the magic is the content of what’s being talked about.”

Speaking with Smith, it becomes clear that he’d gladly give up his day job for a life of SModcast.

“It’s definitely the purest thing I’m involved in. … It’s beautiful, it’s my favorite thing I do right now, way more so than the films. If I could get away with just doing SModcast for a living, I totally would. Unfortunately, like the (‘An Evening with Kevin Smith’) Q & As, the filmmaking side of what I do for a living fuels it.

“Like, without that filmmaking gig I don’t know if I have anything, really, to talk about. That’s not true, I know I have tons to talk about, I just don’t know if anybody gives a shit at that point. So I stay involved in the film thing, you know, because A: it’s my passion (and) B: it’s what I do, it’s my vocation, but for me the best thing we do right now is SModcast, it just kills me, it’s phenomenal. And it all started just because I wanted to hang out with Mosier a little more.”
