- Kevin’s busy prepping for “Red State”, kicking off production in just over a week, so tweets have been less frequent (though he promises a return to form once he’s done filming). Until then, you can still keep up with him and the crew as SModcastle shows are scheduled regularly, even during production. For the latest schedule, which covers us all the way through the end of the month of September, hit the tickets page. Get to the castle for a one-of-a-kind experience with the world’s only podcasting theater. Yes, all your faves including Kevin, Malcolm, Scott, Mewes, and more are on the schedule.
Kevin’s latest tweets help you keep up with the greatness that is the live shows, as they’re made available free to the public for your listening pleasure, along with a few other tidbits. Check ’em out:

- You gotta love the French and their take on stuff — Here’s how they’re marketing “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” on DVD and Bluray via box art. Check out that digitally enhanced rack on Banks. Yowza.
- Take a look at Empire Magzine’s rule #2 on “How to be a Straight Man”:
Rule Two: Cock a good eyebrow, and be prepared to wiggle your facial features curiously as and when.
Example: Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) Vs Jay (Jason Mewes)
Living up to his nickname (for the most part), Silent Bob mostly communicates wordlessly through hand gestures and gesticulations. He also hangs out with one of the loudest, crudest, most ridiculous human beings in this or any other askewniverse, and so after one of Jay’s disgusting diatribes the well-placed eyebrow pop is king.
When he does speak, it’s either out of extreme frustration or in a genuine moment of heartfelt emotion – such as in the famous ‘Chasing Amy’ speech from, you guessed it, Dogma. No, wait, Chasing Amy. Anyway, Ol Bob’s a classic example of the not-so-funny man playing it straight, but with a bit of brow-work nabbing the laughs clean off his supposedly more humourous counterpart.
See also: Alan Rickman, anywhere, John Belushi in The Blues Brothers (not a straight man, as such, but still), and The Rock, in any comedy. We’re being serious here.
- See if you can spot Jay in this look at famous characters from comics past and present. Took us a while!
