"So seriously when he reviewed the chasing Amy flick years later. He was like, Kevin Smith made a film once that was so bad he apologized for it. And the Internet made stuff like that travel, but I, in real time, I got to live all that stuff. So I clerks was a movie that never played on more than 50 screens. So I had true art house, success, but I myself wouldn't necessarily know until the Internet how we did, so to speak, because back in the day, the only way you knew how you did is critics and what the box office number was. There was no way to get in contact with the audience. That's why 1995, I was on the Internet, man, Ming Chen, who was a guy from our TV show conference. He was a student in Amherst, and he was a big clerks fan. He built like this very primitive clerk's website with these tiny ass MPEG clips and stuff. And I reached out to him through my ex-girlfriend because she was in college at the time. And she was like, I saw a clerk's website and it was amazing. I was like, what's a website? And so this guy got in contact with us. Can you build me one of these web sides? So I can meet the people who buy tickets to my stuff. So from 95 forward, I was on the Internet interacting with the audience. And there was only one other filmmaker who was me and Peter Jackson, long before he had touched the rings and shit. This was Peter Jackson of meet the feebles and bad, what was it bad, bad taste? So long before he even heavenly creatures, man. Eventually he fucked off the Internet and started making classy films and winning Oscars. I stayed on the Internet. I was fascinated by it. I was like, I could literally talk to a motherfucker who bought a ticket on Friday night and asked them why. Why did you buy a ticket to this fucking movie, man? Dig in and find out and stuff. So now they call it like direct consumer, but I just love talking to the fucking audience, man. These are the people that were like keeping me from having a real ass job. So from 95 forward, like I've been on online. And over the course of that time, slowly amassed an audience that people in my business were very quick to dismiss. They would always be like, oh, film Twitter, especially. It's like, ew, he just has that audience. That's the only reason he works. And I always say like, yes, Spielberg has that audience. It's just bigger than mine. Like at the end of the day, having an audience is not a crime. That's what every artist aspires to at the end of the day. And the audience that I've had, people who have been with me since the fucking inception of the Internet and whatnot. Since the time where you can say, oh, I did the Internet last night. It was fun. And mean that you hit every fucking sight and shit like that. So some of those cats have been with me, all this time, and they're the only reason that I get to still make sure. Clerks three is only happen. I'm trying to make this move for like ten, 12 years. It only came together because we did Jay and silent bob reboot and lionsgate had home video. They didn't even have the actual shit, just home video. So that meant streaming digital, but it also meant blurays and DVDs, which some people still buy physical media. They call this up four months after Jay and selling bob reboot home video is done. They were like, if you have any more of this Jay and silent bob bullshit, we sold so many blurays and DVDs. If you could keep it under 8 million, we'll make whatever the fuck you want. And I was like, I have nothing but Jay and silent bob bullshit. So that's where clerks three got financed. The audience who, you know, people my people who don't like me always been dismissive about my audience. They manifested the movie by simply by buying fucking blurays and DVDs. So being like this with the audience for years has prolonged my career. There are a bunch of people I came up with ain't working anymore. I'm still working even though the business is like your rookie class. This is the only fear when they were like you're going on bill's podcast. I was like, I don't know shit about sports. So I'm fucked. In sports, you get drafted right into the league from college. And all the guys from your class, this guy, so like class of 93. And it's like, you were in there with these guys. These guys, these guys, you were definitely, there was some sort of era that I feel like is your draft class. Yes, in my rookie class, Richard linklater proceeds me by two years, Quentin proceeds to be by two years, Robert proceeds to be by one year. I proceed Ed burns. Baumbach's right there with you. I'm back is 90. I want to say 96. 90 four kicking and screaming. So same year. Yeah. 24. Yeah. And then Soderbergh's early Soderbergh is like a big brother. He's like 89. 89. He was the reason I never thought a Sundance because when I heard Sundance, I just saw movies and color with movie stars. So we never even thought about taking clerks to Sundance. And it was somebody else down the line was like, you should submit bob hawk. Guy who found the movie at the independent feature film marketplace was like, why don't you submit to Sundance? And I was like, well, the movie's in black and white. And he's like, what does that mean? And I was like, well, I guess it means nothing. We submitted in the rest, you know, kind of worked out for us. Well, with clerks, you were talking about how it was like a only in 50 movie theaters, which is insane. I felt like it was one of those slow burn movies that's impossible to have now. Days that confused was like this, too. Even though that did okay, but I didn't see days to confuse tools on cable. I didn't see your movie to his own blockbuster. It was like, oh, clerks, I heard about this. Where did you go to college? I was in the east coast at holy cross. Where's holy cross? Worcester Massachusetts. And then I was in Boston after that. Probably didn't stretch out as far as Worcester, but we were definitely in Boston for sure 'cause that's where Ben saw it. Ben was just like, oh my God, I saw you fucking movie in Cambridge and I fucking loved it and she had one year later.

Doug Examines the Governor's Race in Oklahoma
"Turn to one now that is, I think, in the end is going to hold for the Republicans, but it is far closer than frankly, it should be. Mayor for Allen, who was the governor of Oklahoma, run in 2014. She won by 15 points. Kevin Smith, who is the current governor of Oklahoma one by 12 points just four years ago. And now this race is a dead heat. As far as polling goes, it's a dead heat. This is also one of those races where the national environment is, I think, affecting an inversely a little bit. Kevin said, he's been a great supporter of not only Republican conservative colleges, but also criminal justice reform, making sure his state is getting the most bang for their buck as far as when it comes to punishing those who do wrong. But yet also making sure that there is a way for them to come back home to get jobs to stay out of jail, all things that conservatives should be about. And it's really interesting in this race you've had the Democrat joy hofmeister who has been attacking Kevin Smith for basically doing things that Democrats have talked about for a long time and that is reintegration and using criminal justice system to actually help people break the cycle of violence and break the cycle of pain in their own life. This is a very much of a disappointment and the idea that from governors actually taking a stand on issues that matter, Republicans have got to come together in this race. I think they will. Mark Wayne Mullen is on the Senate side here and he's going to win and cruise to this election fairly easily. James lankford is well. I think this will pull this into the Oklahoma governor's race and that you'll see when this one. But
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
AJ on Harvey Weinstein and 'Good Will Hunting'
"I registered today that reminded me of the very wicked wicked ways of Harvey Weinstein. But this time he was screwing a guy. Now not the way you think. You got to go back to the days and 1997 when the smash hit, good will hunting was out in theaters, they spent 10 million to make that movie with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and it ended up earning 225 million at the box office, one couple of Oscars, Matt and Ben got the screen playwriting award and Robin and Williams got best supporting actor, but there was some bullshit that occurred. You know, years ago I told you the story where Harvey paid Matt and Ben has started amount of money. No one expected this movie to blow up like this. All different types of screenwriters to punch up the script. In fact, word is the original script didn't even have a love interest that was played by Minnie Driver. There was some other things in the script that just in the initial script that Matt and Ben wrote that were not there. And Harvey had to do considerable amount of work finding script doctors to punch it up and he did. So when the movie time started to make a ton of money, Matt and Ben were very grateful, but there's a famous story that he told me where they said, you know, we really feel like we didn't get paid enough. I mean, in hindsight, they're right, but shit, the guy gave them their starts and they won an Oscar, but they still cried about, you know, we only got a certain amount and now the movie is over a 150 mil. And Harvey, it was in a hotel. He met them in a hotel, and I'm sorry, they called him. They had a meeting. They told him to man. And so I think about it. But he was pissed off. And then they kept hounding him. And he said, where the fuck are you guys? And they tell them what I'll tell they were at. I should stay put. And about two hours later, Harvey had a $1 million in a hefty bed, a garbage bag. And he threw it at them on the bed. And he said, I don't ask you another fucking thing. I'll kill you. I'm kidding, but I'm not. Now, then in that work, considerably happy back then to get a quick extra mill on top of whatever they got paid. I guess that shut them up, but that's one side of Weinstein. But on the same, the very same film. Kevin Smith, the director, was telling a story. That Weinstein actually pulled the movie from the fears early because he wanted to fuck around with Robin Williams Korea. Now, generally you hear him, you hear these stories about Harvey being this play with women. I've never heard much about him doing this sort of thing to a man.

"One piece of advice you would give an aspiring anyone pursuing any comedians? It's the advice I give to any would be creative. Your voice is your currency. That's all you get in this life. The prism through which you see everything, that's insanely valuable. A lot of people in the film business want to be in the film business. So like, oh, I'm going to do like a Star Wars because that worked. Maybe. But I'm telling you what could work and what will work is your voice. They've seen Star Wars. And you ain't gonna make a batter. They've not heard your story. You know, everyone always bitches about the business going like, this is sequels and remakes and shit. Yes, because they're waiting for you to come to the door and be like, here's the story you never told. The day The Wachowskis walk through the door and said, matrix and fucking change the business and stuff. And I am just talking about big ass mainstream movies. I'm talking about any story. The currency that you spend in this life is your voice, the perspective from which you see the entire world, your prism, man. Make sure you spend that as often as possible. That's what's going to make you pop. If anything, like you're not going to be noticed for doing what everyone else does. You will be noticed for doing you something unique. That's the best chances you have of being noticed. So your voice is your currency because make sure you fucking spend it every day. And last one, is there a scene or a joke from a scene that you thought was so funny, especially what you wrote down and you're like, this is going to kill and then it never worked. You eventually had to cut it out, but you'll go to your grave mode. That was the funniest shit. I don't know if it's the funniest shit, but there's a stone soup scene in all of these movies that I wrote for the original clerks, and it's called the scruples scene. That was a 168 page first draft clerks. So a lot of shit had to go. The scruples seem wet. And the scruples seen, I tend to use as the story of stone soup where the village is dying in the hungry and shit and traveler comes through. He's like, I got a magic stone, man. So I got this big pot. You bring whatever you got in your kitchen, whatever you got in your garden. We're gonna make stone soup and they made stone soup and like fed everybody like that stone's magic and he was like, it's just a rock kids. Y'all brought the ingredients. That's how we're all eating and shit like that. So I tend to stone soup with scruples, that scene. Because it's the closest conduit to the original Kevin Smith, right? Like old writing untouched. Yeah. So it's great for Greece and the gears it turns out. I'll put it in something, rework it for that thing, build the script around it, and invariably it always gets cut out. And so it's never seen the light of day. It's never been in a movie. And I've been using it to write other movies since the very first movie. You just will be like, what happens if these characters do this? It's basically a conversation between two characters about a cat. It sounds like the aristocrats. It's not that great, but it's a story of like a cat getting fucking killed in a dryer. Got it. And I don't lose it because like, oh, it's grim. At the end of the day, it's the first ingredient, but then the weakest ingredient. Yeah, yeah. Everything else is stronger than. One day. One day, one day, you know what? When you seize the scruples of the cat scene, expect to find out he died shortly thereafter. He accomplished his lifelong goal and then he just disappeared like Yoda. That is it.

"Algers of ourselves. We're our own greatest heroes. And we're telling our story. And but if you're life is intertwined with others, are they just players in your in your play? Are they just characters in your story? And because I'm a filmmaker, oftentimes, yes. Oftentimes you're just like, well yeah, it's like my story and fucking you're along for the ride. And it's completely dehumanizing to a person you share your life with, but it's like, I didn't come into this to live your life or living a life together, so to speak. It reminded me of chasing Amy how that was written, which was like, oh, this is a relationship, and the things I can't do in this relationship, I'm now going to communicate through this movie and it felt like the funny part obviously is that you turn Dante, which is a character based on you into the surrogate for sort of your wife and a lot of other people in your family and that's an interesting thing, but it did seem really interesting how your processing, the where a lot of your work is processing the legacy of the things and obviously the reboot was like redoing it. And in clerks, obviously, litigating some ways clerks, you're also while you're relitigating clerks, the actual movie you really are getting the stores you tell, and you're also being like the person who was telling those stories. Right. Who decided they're their stories? There were all these other people there. Yeah. So that was the hope. Did you go into it being like, if I'm going to do this, I need to achieve all of these things? I don't know if one thinks of it that way. It just, as it's unfolding, it occurs to you like, oh, I'm so close to this. If I alter it by 5%, it'll be this. Yeah. And so you're like the blob. You just spread and as you encounter things, you absorb and it gets bigger and bigger. So it wasn't the original plan. For example, when people interact with the movie, this was unintentional, but when they interact with the movie in the third act, they go from reflecting on the character's lives, somehow to reflecting on theirs. And I'm sure maybe that happens in movies and stuff, but in this, it unfailingly happens in every case, and I think it begins because people are like, oh my God, I've known these guys fucking forever. And now they're going through these massive life changes and wait a second. If I've known them for 30 years, 30 years have gone by, what the fuck am I doing? What's going on with my life? I saw some tweet from somebody that loved the movie, didn't appreciate what you made me feel about where I am in life right now. So it wasn't like the plan going in, but it becomes part of the plan where you realize how close you could be. To taking it up a level, taking up a notch. It begins as like, oh, he'll have a heart attack and make Clark's fuck I'm clever. There's my hook. Like, people are like, how am I going to see clerks three? I'm like, because they make clerks and they're like, here's my money. Yeah. It's enough to start writing the movie. He's got to do something. That's the trailer. We show you that. But for me, the movie was always going to be the third act. And not just like what happens to the characters, but the meaning, the message, like we're going to give you all the fun, but I'm going to make sure to communicate to you what was communicated to me when I was almost fucking dead. And that's the best I could do for you right now as an artist. Not make a fucking marvel movie because I'd fuck it up, trust me. I'm a fan, not a filmmaker. But to impart something fucking useful. You know, the first movie was a pleasant distraction for most people from their day to day, or they felt vindicated. Those characters their avatar. Then the second movie took them in toward their 30s and helped them deal with moving on to the adult world. And now this movie I'm seeing on social media, a lot of people being like, your movie's always tell me what's coming next. So thank you and fuck you, by the way. Yeah, we don't varnish it, man. Yeah. We kind of, you know, I hate this, this is not what current day Kevin Smith films feels, but the kid who started us on this journey, if he could have seen number one, he would probably be heartbroken. There was a clerks two and three. You'd think I was a hack. But if he could see if he could be, you know, step back and look at them all. I think the kid would be like, oh, we did it. We stuck the landing. Yeah. That was the point. He would say, this ain't me. This is young 22 year old Kevin Smith, 21 year old Kevin Smith who saw slacker make clerks. He would probably say that these clerks trilogy is about a birth life and death. I won't say that because this clerk's movie is just literally the clerk's trilogy is about an ode to those of us who toiled in the trenches of the working class and oddly enough this lifted me out of those trenches. Forever, and I've spent the better part of 30 years trying to get back into the cinematically. It's funny that because in the age how it goes, it reminds me of the before sunrise sunset midnight series. Richard, again, I always owe Richard Richard. It was seeing slacker made me want to be a filmmaker. And then he did before sunrise before we did chasing Amy, and that set a tone. And I was like, oh, this is her before sunrise. And then he had

"That was the only guy that's like, I mean, deck was plucky as shit, man. Just like you. Uh, one, it's notable because we're now at a time where people know many more Star Wars characters than they did, right? Oh yeah. You could drop a robot reference and we still have to explain it just in case for those that don't go that deep, but yeah, everyone's familiar with these characters at this point. But also as texture now, what were you hoping to communicate about these characters in that scene? I mean, number one, it was like, you know, if you're making a clerk's anything, is David gore that there has to be a Star Wars something. So naturally there was bound to be a Star Wars something. This is a sort of a remnant from the old version of clerks. And the old version of clerks, they were on the roof of a movie theater, and they had this discussion where Randall was kind of down on himself. Went down on Dante first and then down on himself. And they kept insulting each other by calling themselves action figures. So he was like, you're like, fucking mopey boy depression pants in bespin fatigues. And then they kind of went up to one another. So at the end of the movie, like Dante's message to Randall was like, don't be dak, be Luke. This is your life and stuff. So a variation of that, you know, got rewritten and put into this. And it became kind of like, you know, one of the parting thoughts in the third act. I think that had everything to do with while I knew I had to include a Star Wars something, I felt like rather than just like, hey man, this is clever, death star contractors. It could be useful to the storytelling. That's something that is a young artist I wouldn't have known, but as an old artist, I've got experience with like, well, let's call this a setup, and let's call later on a payoff. And so no one's going to see it as a setup right now. They're just going to see it as doing Star Wars all's right with the world. And then when you get to the end, you're going to realize, oh, yeah. Kev was starting the needle, wasn't he? You know, what's interesting is you have often talked about like, well, Dante was based on you and the Randall's wish. But in many ways, because Randall is where you put your jokes, Randall became sort of you as a comedic character. Dante was me me and Randall was the me I wanted to be. So then when you're making this movie where they're making movie, of course, Randall is the one that makes the movie and which is such a weird conundrum because I remember sitting there going like, you know, I knew Randall would have a heart attack. Well, I knew they were both going to fucking have a heart attack. But Randall seemed like the one to make the movie and this is going to sound so weird to say knowing that Dante is based on me, like very much based on me. I could not see clear. I was like, Dante would never do this. And it's like, but you did it. And you are Dante, but I'm like, yeah, but I don't know. I just couldn't justify it. Randall made a lot more sense. This guy spent his life in the fucking video store. And we'd spent so much time in Dante and his world in his dreams. Naturally, I wanted to gravitate over to Randall for it, but it just seemed like this is a Randall thing to do. Like Dante, I honestly would have been wildly uncharacteristic for Dante to have a heart attack and be like, I'm gonna make a movie. Just didn't feel that way. It felt Randall's the guy. Yeah, in many ways, Randall is the part of yourself that makes a movie. I guess so, right? Where you put your jokes, your jokes aren't who you are when you're not making jokes, right? So he's your social self. The thing that I was really surprised by into much as clerks are movies where you tend to process your own feelings about yourself is it seemed like a lot of the movie was about the people around Randall, how they have to reckon with this person who's made a myth of who he was as a cool person or a filmmaker. Yeah. Was that something you wanted to deal with? The movie's very self critical. There's a reason that Randall disappears up his own asshole. That's what you do. As an artist, it tends to happen. And when you're an artist who steals, when you're a writer who cribs from everybody, you know, and you're like, oh, I just fucking, I don't make this up. I just stole it and changed names. You think that you're constantly saying your life. Yeah. And oftentimes, you're saying somebody else's life. And I did have an argument with my wife at one point. Where, you know, I was talking about my life, and she said, very pointedly, like, your life is my life. Yeah. I'm here with you all the time. And that hit me like, fucking streetcar. I mean, they don't even exist. Except in Toronto. It hit me like a fucking SUV, driven by a drunk, it had impact and as much as I was like, yeah, you're right.

"Oh, I just dreamed about fucking with people. Yeah. And then underneath, there was a lot more. And then you realize, oh, all that I fuck with people is a distraction for him. So he doesn't have to think about the thing that he wants to do, but is too afraid to try. And in death, he's like, oh my God, I have no choice but to try. So the thing about this realization you have in 2006 is the next move you make is Zack and miri make a porno, which was essentially the making of clerks. Yeah, but usually clerks three. But it's also the movie that you admit is like, can I make Judd Apatow money doing my thing? And that's commercial Kev Smith. That ain't the kid who was like, let's kill Dante at the end of clerks. That's the guy who's like, let's not kill him and keep our career going. I asked because it feels like you have this realization and then the next few movies you make are somewhat answers to other people's desires too. Which is not to be like bullshit. It's more than I think it captures that this is a struggle for you back and forth. Take some moment. You can just it ain't like the movies. That's where it's like, the moral happens and motherfucker chains and happily ever after credits. Sometimes you get the lesson and then an acting the lesson takes a long time. Implementing it, making it a reality or accepting it in some cases. Yeah, there's a big difference between those two. So in the interim, I was trying to have a career. I'm coming off Zach and mirrors because I'm coming off of clerks two and we made it for like nothing. I gave up my salary to make it. My seller wasn't even that huge. Zack and miri, though, was like, oh, everyone's all in. We're going to get paid and this is like a contract movie. And oh my God, we're going to have a movie star in as much as the new guy. I don't know right now. So unavoidable. And also it was already in motion while I was working on like clerks two in the edit and stuff. I was already like kind of pot committed to Zack and miri, make a porno. Then what was after Zagreb, porn? I do. Cop out. Cop out is the, oh, I had a nervous breakdown because of Zack and miri, I can be talked into anything. And somebody was like, what about directing a script you never wrote? And I was like, I only did that once for a TV pilot, but you know, Soderbergh does it. That was the moment when I was, you know, I've never in my life have been like, well, me and soderberg are alike, but in that one moment, I was like, well, he's a director, and he also directs other people's stuff and any directs his stuff. Maybe I should investigate this. And then I went and did that and it was what it was. Which I don't regret, you know? I went in going like, I'm going to hang out with Bruce Willis every day, you know? It wasn't wrong, sure. At the end of the day. And then after that was red state. And red state is like the me going like, I always compare it to this scene and the freshman. Do you remember the freshman with Marlon Brando? And Matthew Broderick. This is a scene where he goes to see him at his college dorm. And Marlon Brando is playing a godfather type figure. Sure. Matthew Broderick's like a film school kid if I remember correctly. College kid. And he has this conversation with him setting things in motion for what needs to happen for the rest of the movie. And just before Brando exits the scene, he looks around the dorm, apropos of nothing and goes, so this is college. I didn't miss anything. And he just walks away. I thought that was like, that was a fucking pimp move that was, man. Especially for somebody who also likes skip college. So red state was me going like, Jesus. They're always on my dick about making Kevin Smith movies. Like, let me try and make a movie that I'm supposed to make. Let me see if I can make a fucking movie that somebody else would make. Let me try to make a Quentin Tarantino movie by weather Coen brothers. And so it's the least Kevin Smith like movie and doesn't look like one to play like if I took my name off of it. Nobody would have fucking known it was me. And when I was done, I was like, you know, so this is good filmmaking. I didn't miss anything. I just wanted to go back to my shit. But I took off after red state. That's when I was like, I'm retiring. And then tusk brought me back, podcasts brought me back. You're like, I'm not a filmmaker. That was the error where you're like, I'm gonna filmmaker anymore. I feel never a filmmaker. I was only a fan. Yes. And I was like, you made movies. Yes. There was a three year period, bro, it's like I'm done with this. That was also a Soderbergh. Inspired. Because he retired. And I was like, we can do that. We could just stop. Okay, I guess I'm stopped. Yeah, and like Soderbergh, the retirement was so short that you'd be like, this was short of the mine. I did have three years down. And then it was doing tusk on the podcast where I was like, oh, I would love to see this movie. Somebody's got to make it. And I was like, well, I remember saying on the podcast, I was like, where are all the brave filmmakers who will make this walrus man to walrus movie? And then I remember I was like, you used to be a great filmmaker. So I was like, all right, I'll fucking do it. I mean, you know, into much as you sort of backed or into stand up, do you feel like you are more sensitive to feedback than directors are because you're touching people? I always have been more sensitive to feedback than other filmmakers are. And because I've met so many over the course of my career and like, yeah, of course we're all like we want to be loved, but so many of them have the like, I don't read the reviews. I mean, I don't do it anymore. But that took a lifetime. Literally, it took 20 years or more of my career to be like, why are you bothering? Like, you did this for you. This is an act of masturbation. When you jerk off, you don't go to others for approval afterwards. You like the feeling it gave you?

"Should ask when you have like 45 minutes all over the ring. Talk about you have the 25 minute answer to that and being like, okay, this is going to be seen in a movie. How do you turn those things into scenes? Well, clerks two is an interesting beast. I love the movie, but it's all artifice. Like clerks came right out of my real life, just changed names. Clerks three, same thing. Clerks two, none of that's true. It's like Dante and Randall fan fiction. Yeah, yeah. So in a world where I was like, well, I got to create this whole cloth. It's not based on anything. I was trying to figure out, all right, what could I use? What would extend? And I was like, oh, you know, you know what fucking kills? Every time I do that, Lord of the Rings bit. And so if Elias is like not just a Jesus guy, but a Lord of the Rings guy and fucking like Randall is more like a fucking original trilogy, you guys Star Wars guy. I get some use out of that. That's essentially me being me, playing me, like fucking rings. What are you talking about? It's all about this. So I perform that bit for a while on stage and I developed into even with the walking and all that shit. And then I sat down to write clerks three years later and I was like, oh my God, I'm totally cherry picking the so I remember showing Jeff exactly how I've done it. I was like, do it like this and it'll kill you, 'cause I've been doing it on the road for the better part of two years. And it became a nice little showcase piece, you know? Not because I'm talented or something because everyone knows those Lord of the Rings movies, just like everyone who goes Star Wars movies back in the day. Yeah, it's like kind of like how the Marx brothers used to write movies where they just like would do a roadshow and they're like, okay, cool. I've heard that from the course of my career, somebody said that to me once or twice, where it's like, they did what you did. I'm like, what fail regularly? Even though they used to go be live and try shit out and then fucking take that to the stage and shoot it. Well, it's the thing that I was talking to one of our film critics about how well you've been able to maintain your voice, especially your comedic voice. And I think that is a very hard thing for people to maintain. You know, they might become more mature and certain things or perspective might be somewhere, but like comedic voices are hard to maintain and keep relevant. I think in my perspective, from a comedy perspective, is it's because you tore and you do a thing that comedians do, that stand up comedians. Absolutely right. Like everything to do with that. If I was just a comedy filmmaker, I sharpen my chops once every two years, maybe. If I'm lucky, if I can get the financing, but if I'm interacting with an audience on a regular basis, 202 150 nights of the year or days of the year, that's going to keep me sharp podcasting as well. Has been absolutely essential. I started back in 2007 and me and Scott doing smodcast was comedy fucking boot camp. We didn't know it. We just thought we were having fun, but you go back and listen to that. That's almost like me version two. We went as far as I could with the old me. This is me like fucking ramping up and pumping the batteries up again and then going forward comedically. So it really helps to stay in practice. On a regular basis and filmmaking is no regular practice. It's a very special occasion sort of thing. Unless you're fucking Steven Spielberg or Tyler Perry. Seems to make a lot of movies. But it does help to stay live, does help and remember I didn't start as a comedian. I backed into it because of the movies because they throw you out there after the movie and you're supposed to answer questions and from the first film I never felt like I can't wax erudite on filmmaking. I just made one. So to me, I was like, I'm gonna go to Carlin route. Somebody puts a fucking mic in your hand, make them laugh. So I'd be like, let me tell you how we got the cat to show you. And then you start telling the fun making up stories, which later on would become the spine to clerks three. The other part of it is that you get the other benefit of what comedians get, which is the audience tells you what they like about you. What they want. Instant feedback. And it's a difference. We were just talking about this on a podcast. The difference between home show podcasts like this where we take our time, talk about whatever we want and shit. And doing it in a live forum, where suddenly the audience, without even yelling at you, we'll let you know where you are in the room. Just because you're suddenly like they're not laughing. We should say something funny. There's no one wrong or right way, but it's interesting that dynamic it creates. Yeah. So there's going to be a long question, but I imagine it's going to result in a long answer. So there's a moment towards the end of clerks two that I know is quite meaningful for you in which the jail scene. Yes. So they're in jail, and they're sort of pushing each other. Randall and Dante four friends fight full voice a lot. Always in the third act. Yeah. And it gets to a point where Randall Dante is like, well, what do you want to do? What do you want to do in Randall? I would buy the quick stop and reopen it. My favorite moment in anything I've ever done. Just that line alone. It was so useful for me in my real life. Sometimes I've found, and this is going to sound corny and chip, but bear with me I'm a writer. Sometimes you give yourself your best advice in the world. And it's buried. And you don't realize it. You're just trying to shape a scene. And then, you know, in the case of this, in the case of clerks two, I'm in the editing room at like two in the morning. And this priest stoner, so I can't even blame this on weed. And I'm putting this scene together and it's a scene I've written. I fucking shot with them. Multiple takes and I've been editing and finally like sitting back and doing a playback and watching Randall be like, I'd buy the quick stop and reopen myself. It was so profoundly powerful to me. I was like, that's how I'm going to live the rest of my life. That's me telling me how to be me. Like how to do me for the rest of my life. Never mind trying to please people and shit like that. Just bought a quick stop, reopening yourself. So yeah, I basically, clerks three is that moment extended to 90 minutes. The idea of in that one moment, you scratch the surface of a true cynic and you found the optimist underneath. And that's when I was like, oh my God, that's the movie I want to see. I want to spend 90 minutes with that fucking guy to see what he dreams about. There's a moment in clerks that I love. It has no dialog in it. So as a writer, I'm ashamed of it. But Randall's sitting alone in the middle of the Montage for the 1979 Montage. And everybody's active in doing a thing. And Randall is just in repose, like almost like he's shut down C-3PO style. With nobody to engage with, Randall does not know what to be or who to fucking be. So I always love that. And I felt like,

"And also I was trying to recapture for that Star Wars scene. The moment in Kim locker and his parents living room, the moment me and Scott were talking about it like in Vancouver and I could see that this would play and stuff. And then whatever else I could bring to it in the writing. And you know, I never dreamed that it would be the centerpiece scene, but it became the scene that most people are like, oh man, Star Wars scene. Fucking dust our contractors. That's nuts. In the script, the other person comes in is titled blue collar man. Was it meant to Thomas Burke? Is the name of the actual guy who plays him? He's back in clerks three. He came back. Were you trying to communicate something of like, was this a commentary on your generation? You're giving me way too much credit. Well, that's a question. I want to know blue collar man because he was coming in. He was going to be a tradesman of some sort. And I knew, as I was writing it, oh, he's a roofer. And I never even bothered to change blue collar man to roofer. But no, it wasn't about like, well, the proletariat thinks this. It's just a dude, like to me, it was like, they're having this discussion. They're deeply engaged. And kind of like that, dude. It was an extension of the dude in the coffee shop. Yeah. So instead of just leaning in and listen, the dude was like, I have a point to make. And that to me seemed kind of like, this is the makings of good comedy, not just the, what they're saying is funny about Star Wars, but the whole situation, once you get, once again, situation is very comedic. The idea that this dude would come in, this conversation would be happening at all. They're all supposed to be working. But they're going to take time out of his busy day going to be a roofer. Day working, to have this conversation. That won't progress their lives one iota. But we'll settle a few fucking issues. Speaking of giving you too much credit. So I want to talk about how you shot the scene if you remember anything shooting this scene, but in clerks three, essentially they're reshooting clerks. Sound bob is a cinematographer. He explains the reason why they have to shoot in black and white. Okay, so we just scouted in here and the colors are fucking ugly. So saint bob wants to shoot the whole movie and black and white. Schindler's list black and white, what is he nuts? Uh, no, I'm a fucking filmmaker. And any filmmaker worth their salt would know that the colors in this place are fucking ghastly. The only way you can deal with them is to neutralize them by going in black and white. Which will also kind of act as a commentary on the soulless nature of commerce, while subliminally giving the audience the impression that they're watching our heroes from the perspective of an imaginary store security cam. That's what I was thinking. That's what an artist thinks. But, you know, it's up to you. However, I'm shooting in black and white. All right, shooting it at all, motherfucker. That's right. That's predicated on a review we got early on in Clark. Yeah, I was wondering because to explain you use the real reason which is that the lighting to counteract for the rest of the light would be too expensive you have to shoot in black and white. And then you have these sort of two grandiose explanations. Right. Well, we don't even go for the too expensive. They go for, oh, it just looks bad. Yeah, they're like, it would look ghastly, is what the cinematographer says. Yeah, that was, of course, predicated on Dave Klein, who's our DP now shoots like The Mandalorian and stuff. When he got quick stop, he was like, well, these are all fluorescent lights. And I was like, yeah. Because if we shoot under these in color, everyone's going to be kind of green. I was like, well, how do we correct that? And he was like, ah, we have to write a new lighting package. And I was like, well, when you say new, you mean a lighting package, sure. Because I thought these lights are sufficed. And he goes, these lights will work if you're shooting black and white. And I was like, can we shoot black and white? I mean, that would look cool. So there's a game as a black and white. And suddenly we were in black and white, by default. Yeah. But yeah, that fed into the clerk's three version of it. In the clerk's three version of it though, silent bob goes a bit more eloquent. There was a review that I read early on on clerks and I wish I could remember who it was because they deserve co writing credit on Clark's story. They said that the film is shot and stark black and white, as if presented from the point of view of the store security camera. And I made the fucking movie that's never occurred to me. So from that point forward when people would be like, why black and white instead of just being like, oh, it was cheaper. I was like, well, we wanted to present the film from the point of view of historic security. So I adopted it for the movie as well. You edited clerks. You actually added all your movies except for Mallory, I believe. Yeah. Which is interesting. Yeah. They wouldn't let us out at the second one. Yeah. There are two editing decisions. One, and then maybe it was in the script form, but there was the theocracy part of the Star Wars stuff is in the original. I don't think we ever shot that. Got it. And the other thing is you add in J stealing food. Yes. Is that just a rhythm choice? That may be abandoned to cover the religious theocracy shit. Maybe we did shoot it because otherwise, I can't imagine a young Kevin Smith having it on the page and not having them say it. Yeah. So chances are we probably shot that and then what I use J four was to cut away from them so that I can cover material because I didn't do any angles at the counter, right? It's like once Thomas Burke comes in as the roofer, it's this shot that stays that way forever. So yeah, Jay was a band aid. So I guess we probably did shoot the religious theocracy stuff. Yeah. Last question about clerks, which is free watching it forget every time the title cards with words like per Cassidy. I forgot him in clerks three as well. I didn't use them at all. That came out of the last minute. I was sitting there going, I might need chapter headings because originally in the script, it was like the first circle of how all the second circle. We really played with Dante's name. Instead, I was like, let me go for chapter headings. And this is the precocious like 22, 23 year old Kevin Smith. Let me just find big words. Yeah. I've always loved big words and put them up there and fucking the word will have something to do with what happens next. Yeah, this is under syntax right before vagary. Yes. Yes. And that literally wasn't me going. Let me pick my ten favorite fucking words. That was me in a car with Scott drive and Dave in the passenger seat and me randomly thumbing through a fucking pocket dictionary and going vagary and they're like, sure. I will say plays and this is not an insult. Like a more pretentious way and precious than you have ever been.

I never really got to be because right away. People were like you're born voice of a generation. Say some things.

A funny thing went to very serious very very quickly. So after that i was like look is wanna make a movie after this were nobody gets mad at me. Nobody pulls out a statue of mary and rubs at my face and says a rosary at me. Because i'm going to hell because they think my movie is is the pathway to to the devil as we'll make something fun and so i may. Jane saw bob strike back and that movies so drastically different from clerks mallrats chasing amy dogma because those movies clerks mallrats chasing amy and dogma. That's my entire life laid out across four movies. Everything i learned and loved was passionate about like that was all in me when i was able to start my career as a filmmaker and by the time he gets a dogma like i was like this is this is the ball's easiest thing i'll ever say plow and put it out there and then you know there is a threat of violence so at that point i was like well. I don't wanna say anything important because that gets one in trouble so let me. Just say something. That won't offend anybody. Let me just have a good time. Let me you know we. We made four moves. It was kind of a celebration. Jade's alabama back kinda like unfair. Maybe early. I know a lot of people. When they saw the movie back in the day they were like this is like a youtube.

"Hello i'm dan levy hard and a million years ago when i first started learning about creativity and started craving it. I needed a certain permission to choose a different path. So i couldn't help. But marvel at the writing producing and directing of kevin smith who made the movies clerks mallrats chasing amy and dogma. The story behind his first movie clerks is absurd and brave and dumb and inspiring. It was black and white movie because he couldn't afford lighting. He had such an absurdly low budget for it that his broke slacker as had to put it on cobbled together credit cards. He'd never otherwise us and had no way to repay that. One movie subsidized the rest of his artistic career and it looked like a movie. Any of us could have made or been in for that matter later. He helped break out. Ben affleck and matt damon his greatest work in my mind dogma. Both spoofed and celebrated catholicism and it starred his comic hero george carlin the hate for it was so loud and so cruel that he would choose to never get near those particular flames again. If you're kevin smith fan you'll really love this conversation. If you're not a kevin smith fan. I think you might be after this conversation. Because he gave me permission to choose a different path a million years ago and gives it to me again today with the choices he makes and how he explains why it is that he makes them. He's got a new book out. It's colorful it's his story. It's kevin smith secret stash the definitive visual history. It's a different looking book. It's a big book and if you like him. You should get this book. But i want you to get to know him and his story a little bit better. And so let's begin with kevin smith here. Thank you for joining us. What would you say among your early work. The most fulfilling and fun projects you had. I suppose those could be two different questions. A true So filling was probably clerks. 'cause it just keeps paying dividends even today. We just wrapped clerks. Three and clerks. Three is about randall. The guy from the video store Deciding at age fifty after a massive heart attack that he has nothing to leave behind so he wants after years of watching movies. He wants to make a movie himself so they wind up making clerks essentially a black and white movie about working at the convenience store so clerks probably the most billing because it still to this day. Pays the bills in some ways. I don't think not a day has gone by since nineteen ninety three that i haven't said.

The seattle seahawks obtained in prior to the twenty twenty one season in the steelers sent a fifth round draft. Pick to seattle for witherspoon. Okay this is another one of those moments where the steelers fan base is already reeling a little bit. they're frustrated. There's not j. watt contract. All of a sudden steph onto it zach banner anthony macfarlane gone injured reserve which means they are missing games one two and three no matter what then the steelers pull off a trade in. You probably saw breaking news trade alert the steelers make a trade for cornerback in. You're thinking okay here we go. Let's do this. And it's a keller witherspoon if you're like me and i'm being honest i'm always honest with you. That's why. I hope that. I can connect with you as my listeners. My reaction was who the heck is this guy. I never heard of this guy now. Granted i'm not a draft. Nick i did get into this draft in the twenty twenty one draft i was i studied. More prospects did more breakdowns. And i've ever had in my entire life. Mope witherspoon was drafted back in two thousand seventeen. So i definitely was not doing all that digging back then nonetheless you learn a little bit about the player after you get to know him in after the trade was announced as official by the steelers. Now you're looking at okay. What is this guy brain to the team. Well when we find out. And this is from people like jeffrey benedict. When people like kevin smith who find out that he's a an typically an outside cornerback. He's not a physical has good ball skills. Good size six to everyone always talks about. Oh you can't have a cornerback. That's under six foot. He sticks to ran a four five forty. I believe four or five. Maybe it was right around there.

This is a dark film or what is it? It's darkly comic on Lee.

As one of your favorite authors has died or one of your favorite actors has died, especially when they've created so many great characters. That's what he was. He was authored, and he was a crater and the story guy who's producer as you know, in Hollywood.

Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer will score 'Wonder Woman 1984'
"Let's move on to our next topic in this news discussion, and that is wonder, woman nineteen Eighty-four has gotten has announced their composer Brad tells us about it. Yeah, it's a pretty exciting. I think, upgrade in my opinion the the original score or wonder, woman was was pretty solid. I, you know, I, I enjoy the theme, but that came from the Batman versus superman ejection of wonder woman, but Rupert grace. Williams still did a pretty good job making a solid score for it. But for wonder, woman is eighty four. We're getting Hans Zimmer who is probably best known for providing the score for all the Christopher Nolan, Batman movies, and having him on board is definitely, I think going to make this movie even more epic than the first one Hans emerges has away with his orchestral arrangements that has really brought a lot of life to DC movies, and he's just he's really just one of the best, you know, composers out there like Hans Emmers among the household names that you hear when people know people who have scored movies among ended likes of John Williams and things like. That. So, yeah. Hear what he does. His score for the dark Knight, I think is still one of my favorites of all time. So if he could, if he could bring even a tenth of that to wonder woman, I would be happy each day. How do you feel about this new year? Big wonder, woman fan I make fed. I I remember Hans Zimmer was the one who composed wonderman. I sort of issue with you introduction theme and they reuse that for wonder woman. And I've maybe they'll kind of re imagine it for wonder, woman nineteen Eighty-four, which I'm very excited for perhaps a few more electric. Guitars. Ooh, I'm excited for him to sort of tap into maybe the cynth- of eighties music and see if he plays without a little bit. Oh, I didn't even think about that. That'd be. That'd be fantastic. I am so excited.
