Welcome to Smodcast.

We can't stop talking about, hello, and my name is Kevin Smith.

Is that how we start Smodcast?

I can't remember.

Yeah, I have to listen to it a very long time. But no, you may be wondering why are we talking about Kevin Smith again. Well, look, it's New Year's. Yep. We wanted to have some fun. We're on vacation. Yep. And I think we've both been thinking about Catman, as we always do.

Yep.

I mean, I just saw Dogma again.

Oh, did you go see it theatrically?

No, we did a Michael and us on it.

And I think we've both been thinking about Kevin, as we always do. Yep. I mean, I just saw dogma again.

Oh, did you go see it theatrically?

No, we did a Michael and us on it. And I'll tell you, I have two podcast co-hosts. I hope I'm not breaking that to you on air. Whoa. Wait, what? Yeah. And, and. Will I have something to tell you to? Well, we have very differing relations with Kevin Smith because you and I, we grow up with them.

We love them. to tell you to well we have very differing relations with Kevin Smith because you and I we grow up with

them we love them we've done so much content on him yeah Luke Savage saw dogma when he was a kid

and he says this is blasphemous and I will have nothing with it he protested it you know

I think he liked it when he was a kid but hadn hadn't seen any other Kevin Smith. Yeah, and had not come into the context of who Kevin Smith is. And I think, I think is repulsed by Kevin Smith. Visitorily. Just everything about him. Yeah, Luke has that too fat to fly t-shirt he wears all the time. Yeah, yeah. So, so I watched Dogma and when we did the Michael and us episode on Dogma, I thought, I'm going to be the guy who likes it. I want to like it. I'm, because I remember Dogma being one of the better ones. And, and I know what the flaws are. Yeah. But I thought, you've seen it a dozen times? Maybe four four in my life. I've seen it way more than four. Well, I thought that the parts of it that I thought would be, would, were good, would still be good. And I'm watching this movie and it's like, I don't know. It's not a lot. That's not good here. And this is one of the good ones ben afflick is a little wooden also

like the second half of the movie it's like watching the assembly cut it's like so long there are so many

scenes that are completely unnecessary and also like it's a cliche to say this about kevin smith at

not a visual stylist not a lot to look at. Not a lot to look at.

What are you talking about? The air conditioning turned on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The scene where Linda Furetino and Alan Rickman are at the table talking early on, it's like, this is dead. And they go to another place to keep talking. Like, this is dead. And they're just talking and talking and remember on And remember, on the commentary track, Kevin Smith goes, yeah, we were going to shoot inserts of all the stuff that they're talking about would appear. And it's like, hey, we decided not to. Yeah. All right. But we're here to praise him. Are you trying to come around and be like, but Luke Savage, he loved it. He liked it even less than me.

Yeah.

But I wanted to have this gathering to praise Kevin Smith, because this was prompted by probably Kevin Smith's fan number one that we know, Mike Wood.
