  • G4’s “Attack of the Show” gives great press to the awesome SModcastle with a new 10 minute segement with Kevin and Scott from the mecca itself. You’ll also catch some of the best-yet recorded looks at the theater, the lobby, the decoration, and more. The interview covers all the shows and their genesis and is done up perfectly as only G4 could. Recommended for you to watch immediately , as it’s the coolest press we’ve seen for the SModcastle and SModcast brands yet. Good on ya, G4.
  • The Wall Street Journal runs a nice story on the recent 25th anniverasry “The Breakfast Club” event which Kevin hosted. A clip:

      What could have been a mournful memorial instead became a hilarious and engaging evening. Kevin Smith, noted director and Southwest Airlines enemy, was ecstatic at getting the opportunity to host the panel; his enthusiasm heralded not only the appreciation of a great director, but also the celebration of an iconic film beloved by millions of teenagers.

      “I wish I could go in a time machine and tell my 14-year-old self that I was going to be on stage right now,” Smith said to introduce the panel. “And he would say to me, ‘How the f– did you get so fat? You’re hosting ‘The Breakfast Club’? Did you eat the breakfast club?'”

      Continuing seriously, he added: “John had his own Hughes-iverse. I wanted to do the same with my films.”
