- Kevin’s continuing to break new ground when it comes to promotion, and we love what he’s doing with “Red State” so far. First, a few esoteric photos from the set. Then, an awesome internally-produced one sheet. And now, prior to SHOWING us the teaser trailer, he’s letting us listen. Check out the newest weekly edition to the SModcast network, “Red State of the Union”, for FREE. Episode #1 is available RIGHT NOW, and features the audio of the teaser as a lucky audience of 20 at the SModcastle are the first to view its glory. After screening the teaser, Kevin listens to feedback and takes questions. As “Red State” continues its journey towards a theater near you, this podcast will offer further discussions, Q&A, press conferences, and more — Once again, another first in the world of film.
While we’re talking “Red”, here’s a few tweets on the subject recently:
Via @bapps84 “Will you be doing a press junket for RedState?” No. But you’ll hear about it all the same, I’m thinking. I do so love to sell.
Hear the teaser for RED STATE & reaction to it in our new mini-series, RED STATE OF THE UNION: http://smodcast.com/redstate/index.html
Via @iamkateonfire “Can’t wait to actually see it, audio gave chills. Nice work!” HEAR THE TEASER: http://smodcast.com/redstate/index.html
Via @Jakkk “Trailer sounds awesome! Can’t wait to see it! ‘You better believe I fear God.'” Complete with Q&A! http://smodcast.com/redstate

Via @tbylckwd “When will you hear from Sundance about Redstate?” No clue, but they’re watching it upstairs right now… #Shhhhhh
The podcast is a highly-recommended listen. Kevin’s comments are interesting, in that it sounds like he has a plan for the marketing of the film and is planning a very slow build, which we love. As far as Sundance, we’ll keep you posted on anything we hear, as soon as it’s revealed. Fingers crossed!

- We certainly hope that you’re watching Fall’s best new series “The Walking Dead”, on AMC. The show airs Sunday nights at 10 PM, and is some of the best-portrayed zombie action and character builds done on film. In week two, on Sunday, Mallrats’ Michael Rooker appears in a memorable role and chews the scenery bigtime. Rooker plays a fantastic villain. Will he return? Tune into AMC for weeks 3-6 and find out, every Sunday at 10 PM EST.
- Take a peek at two of the stars who were there at the beginning: A new interview with Marilyn Ghigliotti (Veronica) & Scott Schiaffo (Chewlies Gum Rep) from the original “Clerks”. The interview happened over the summer at Wizard World Philly, courtesy of Numa Network (www.numanetwork.com) , an entertainment/comedy YouTube channel. It’s a nice interview and runs over 12 minutes. Interviewer Chris is a big View Askew fan and asks a ton of interesting questions, and as always, Marilyn and Scott are more than happy to share their memories and experiences.
- Finally today, via Twitter, follower Jeff Smith sends us a couple west-coast shots from the “Clerks 2” set — While the Days Inn, where the cast and crew lived for the shoot, stands, Mooby’s is now sadly, no more. Here’s what the lot looks like today.
