Goddamn, Kevin can TALK. He's so engrossing...even stoned off his gourd, his mind is razor-sharp. Love the guy.
I swear, every interview I've seen with George is great... Seriously one of the best interviewers.
+dylan plantenga It is despite being Canadian. ;)
Kevin Smith is without question the greatest interviewee of all time. His insight as well as his depth of honesty is profound and I have never seen any one that established in the film industry be so transparent with his thoughts.
Ah, the classic duster, hockey jersey, and cargo shorts look. Timeless.
+rockforlight I Have Ok Respect For Kevin Smith Even Though He's a NJ Devils and Edmonton Oilers Fan In Life I Think He Should Taken Off His Jacket After Sitting Down In The Chair!
@@vinceniederman3235 and is
@@vinceniederman3235 is going
I hope to God that's not his outfit he needs a makeover of course
As a Fan Of Film Directors Kevin Smith is The Best Guy To Interview Big Time!
Kevin Smith is my 5th favorite film director but he goes on and on about even though he's asked a few questions very funny interview!
love Kevin Smith, could listen to him for hours.
Crazy how many people shit on him great story teller
Jake Binion jealousy
Fuck who ever shits on him he's a good dude with unique movies and a GREAT story teller
@@PleasestopcallingmeDoctorImath🙄 yeah that's exactly it...🤡
He's a master storyteller....
i completely agree ! he can say the same story on a different show and he still keeps my interest.
i completely agree ! he can say the same story on a different show and he still keeps my interest.
Michelle Louise Right?! I can listen to him forever.
It blows my mind it doesn't translate to his scripts.
He has a clear understanding of how to tell a story.
@@pleaserewind295 it does show in his movies
Kevin Smith Is The Best Story Teller Ever I'm The Same Way In Life Even Though I Do Let People Ask Me Questions The Stories Kevin Smith Talks About Are The Best Ever!
Could listen to Kevin talk about anything.
Me Too He's So Awesome!
You don't even have to interview the dude, you just ask a couple of questions and he spills his guts on everything you've ever wanted to know.
Agreed Kevin Smith is One Hell of a Storyteller!
Kevin Smith is One Word During Interviews: Awesome LOL!
Kevin Smith is such a wonderful human being. His films may not be the favorites among film buffs but he understands people and emotions and situations that we all find ourselves in so we're able to relate to his work very easily. I personally also relate to him in that I myself am a Jersey boy from the same general area and I love hockey and actually I love only hockey as far as sports go. I have so much in common with Kevin besides anything I've mentioned and would love to meet him and just actually hang out in a non-professional setting where we just chill and maybe drink or get stoned and talk about all the things we are passionate about. That would probably be number one on my own personal bucket list because although I'd love to sky dive or see Rome etc. etc. The real reason I love life is just meeting people like myself and sharing all the things I'm passionate about. In my personal opinion he'd be the perfect person for me to chill and share all those things with. Can't wait for Clerk 3 and possibly a Mallrats TV series.
Btw, does anyone know how to get in contact with Kevin personally? I know I could easily call The Secret Stash and maybe get in touch but I know he lives on the west coast now and s it wouldn't be as easy as getting in touch with Walt or anyone who works at the Stash.
I Agree and I'm Not a Huge Fan Of Him But I Do Respect Him Big Time!
Excellent interview! Kevin rules, I have to say!
1.Would love to see a word count on this interview.
2.I like how Strombo lets his guest talk. Good job GS.
Kevin Smith is The Best Guy to Hear Different Stories About Anything and Very Good To Hear He Doesn't Need a Host LOL!
That was great! Guy puts his whole life out there! Ups, downs, everything. Crazy life as a director, writer. And everything else.
I somehow have not heard of Kevin Smith and just really accidentally found him looking for reviews of Endgame. Now if I’m not working or sleeping I am watching this man. It is amazing how absolutely anything he is talking about is so completely funny or sad or emotional or educational but ALWAYS fascinating. No wonder Kevin is a writer because I love watching this man tell his stories. He seems to me to be so genuine and to find out all the movies he has been involved with that I loved and had no idea. Great stuff Kevin! Thank you!
I bet dogma blew your mind
I Hope I Meet Kevin Smith Someday Hear That He's a Nice Guy!
Kevin Smith is a Fantastic Storyteller For a Film Director Like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese During Their Interviews!
Kevin Smith seems like one of the nicest, down to earth guys ever, I have been listening to his "Fatman on Batman" podcast at work and he sounds like an awesome guy I would love to just sit down and talk to him about comics and geek culture forever.
+WOWman1919 yea i really love listening to that podcast too. i dont even read comics or know anything about what the hell they are talking about usually...but the stories they tell are so interesting. i dont know if you are aware, but he does 5 podcasts a week....u can listen to all of them for free on smodcast.com.
I wanna meet Kevin Smith. Big fan.
I Have Great Respect For Kevin Smith Since He's One Hell of a Storyteller!
Kevin Smith is a badass loved tusk cant wait for clerks 3 fuck all you haters but it sucks to hear that your about done filmmaking, so thinks for all the laughs and good movies sir but it's good of you to help other people get there movies out there man your a good dude but again thinks for all the laughs
Fascinating interview. :)
that was so great what he said about The Dark Knight Returns and his life near the end.
I read a lot of the comments and I have to say this. I'm from Jersey. I'm not big like Kev (I'm actually, by definition, underweight), but I wear what I want and what I'm comfortable in. I live in South Carolina and still rock a 10 lb. leather trench coat with hoodie underneath because that's what I'm comfortable in and I know a lot of home staters are the same way. It's him, it's how he is. Does he sweat, yeah. Do I sweat in my attire, of course, but I'm comfortable and even though he does like going in front of people, I'd think a major part of getting through it is to be in your own skin. His is a few shirts, baggy jean shorts, and the iconic trench. He's not Hollywood or New York or Miami, getting all pressed up in some ridiculously over priced suit, or some ridiculously over priced designer bullshit "casual wear." He's bringing it his way, and in my opinion the Jersey way. Where what you feel best in.
Love your humour love your ideas!
This bloke is the best guest on any talk show,just wind him up n let him go..no filter.
It's funny Smith in every interview mentions the influence and inspiration Linklater's Slacker had on him to start making Clerks. But ironically I think Clerks is a much better film.
Neal Damiano I love Linklater, but yeah Clerks is a better film. I still laugh every time.
@@scottwolff2236 Clerks is better, Slacker was good but at the hour mark I was waiting for a change
"And then all of a sudden, a giant fucking spider shows up"
I love the concept of The Purge
Kevin Smith does Canada....
Wish he was my brother! True family love and loyalty.
the world engine in Man of Steel looks like a spider too
Holy shit you're right lol.
Hey Kevin, Canada isn't always cold!
Is Kevin Smith a fan of the Oilers? All of this jerseys are oilers jerseys with different logos.
your voice is your currency
I love kevin smith
who else thought it was rami malek interviewing kevin smith?
I like Kevin but it is brutal to watch him with 3 shirts on and a extra heavy coat on sweating buckets. Kevin you are not that big dude. Take off the coat.
I don't understand what the hell you're saying....and he's a pretty big dude buddy.
Shawn Tannehill o.
@@johnplayersstandard He mentioned it in more recent interviews that he was very shameful about his body and wore his clothes like that to hide it...what's wrong with feeling bad for that?
Just here to say that i love you Silent Bob. You prove that not all famous people are douches. You rule sir! Thanks for inspiring me to be a Film Writer!
Kevin Smith is a Very Great Speaker Without Taking a Breather LOL!
All these people talking of sweat have never been under a light display for recording apparently lol.
btw just found out we have the same birthday. yeah! hahah
Jason Mewes was right, this nigga isn't silent at all lol
I cannot believe how sweaty he is LOL
+Appleseedlol Well, he is a disgusting fatbody (it's okay, he said it!) with an additional 3 layers of clothing in a studio with p. damn hot lights beaming down on him. Can't fault the guy for leaving a wet imprint in the chair.
Dam Kev could you have sweat anymore lol. Love ya man
Affleck is a bad ass batman I cant wait to see him do it again!!!!
How hockey night in Canada going Strombo?
Clerks is great, Clerks 2 is fun, Dogma is awesome, Chasing Amy is good, Red State was meh, Cop Out wasn't really his movie, Jersey Girl is pretty bad as is Red State, low expectations for Tusk but I know Clerks 3 will rock. Great talker, gat person, great director.
What did you think about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back & Mallrats?
Kevin only did red state cause he's got a secret crush on megan phelps.
Terrance Porter
Jay and Silent Bob was okay, Mallrats was awful, but mainly because of the average acting.
***** I like the idea, but I kind of think (based on trailer) it's too much of a horror film. The idea is ridiculous and could be lots of fun, but I'm pretty sure the emphasis on horror will take away from his comedy and "philosophy".
I'm still going to see it (if it'll come to my country) though, and I hope it will deliver.
Kevin’s sweat is like a third character in this interview 😓
Kevin , take your coat off . You are boiling there !
Buffsbeard I Can’t Believe Kevin Didn’t Take Off His Coat Before Sitting Down!
That was Awesome! Ya I hated Red State too
Needs a new Joe Rogan and Kevin Smith podcast they are the gods of podcasting
LOOL @ (25:52)
Great interview. But, literally _all_ I could focus on was how insanely sweaty he was. Was it the lights? The heavy coat? Coke? All 3? Who knows...but it's still hilarious. He probably didn't want to be rude, but I was sort of hoping Strombo would say _something_ at least to break up the awkwardness of it all. lol... Great interview though.
What's up with the coat?
So.., um, CLERKS III..?
And I'm out at 4:36. Can handle the drag queen part, but I draw the line at his Dad feelin up his Mom.
Omg Kevin smith is Ra's Ghul
_"You make found art out of art that you find!"_
Uh, no. Haha, that's not what that term means. I can't just display a Picasso I've bought as my own work.
It means you are inspired by those before you to create in a similar style. Smh
public enemy?... things just got better...
Wow. His brain runs fast when he’s not stoned.
I got a feeling that he would still be talkative while he's Stoned lol. I feel like he talks in his sleep lol. But I have had friends that when they smoked weed they either talked just as much or more. And i feel like that would be Kevin Smith. Unless he's completely torched then I don't know. I'd like to find out lol
"you'll be a walrus or you're be nothing at all"
Just wanna say, Spider-Man.
It seems like hes wearing baggy clothing to cover up his obesity, but is clearly too hot in them.
Shame, i think he looks great
No shit captain obvious, but he was obviously more comfortable...even with the sweating
@@justinamenta7241 Good job replying to a 6 year old comment with a comment that doesn't makes sense
We still have not seen hit somebody :/
Or clerks 3
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerks#Clerks_III
Seems cool, what's with the getup tho
I thought I have bodyshame but at least as a fat man I can go out in just a t-shirt if it's hot n' shit. Like Kev.. A black tee, a tall-cut hockey jersey *and* a felt trench? Shit, how about a burkha? It took me quite a while to learn wearing multiple long layers only makes one look fatter than they actually are.
If I were Kevin Smith I would had taken off the jacket before sitting down!
Spoken like a true butt-hurt Maple Leafs fan. "Pick a Philadelphia Flyer or Boston Bruin". He's apparently still upset over the Leafs choking that lead against the Bruins in 2013.
Yup Kevin Smith Should Had Said The NY Rangers Since They are The NJ Devils Closest Rival LOL!
I think George didn’t handle this right. You don’t ask Kevin 3 questions for a show that takes 30 minutes - he’s only got time to answer 1 or maybe 2! Kevin is talking on double speed and is sweating like a walrus, you’re giving him a heart attack!
I guess he is uncomfortable with his body image :(
Why is he sweating so hard is he off his face!
If I Was On a Talk Show I Would Take My Jacket Or Sweatshirt Off So I Don't Sweat Like Hell LOL Also I Enjoy This Interview Since I Have Respect For Kevin Smith Since He's a Movie Director and Actor!
He's wearing a huge ass trenchcoat and he's under red hot studio lights. I'd be sweating too.
The clothes Kevin wears make me uncomfortable
Why Does The Clothes Kevin Smith Wears Makes U So Uncomfortable For?
snoogins
He seems manic.
Jesus fuck sweat
Kevin should get thin. Not because of the aesthetics of it, but because of his health. His dad died of a heart attack. There's a chance he might too.
I agree. I think he looks great now, but it would be a shame if we lost him to a heart attack.
Prophetic comment
dude was having anxiety through the whole thing, hella sweating from the start! that's why you shouldnt smoke weed before going on TV programs, or atleast take a benzo along with it. But then you might get too fucked up hahaha
What Kevin Smith Should Had Done was To Take Off His Jacket Then Start Talking!
He lost 20 pounds and didn't even run
kevin smith still dresses like that, huh
Could it be that after Clerks Smith never did a good movie again? Maybe decent ones, but he never reached what he did in Clerks'n'shit. I think. N'Shit.
Dogma is his most solid movie overall. Clerks is fantastic for what it is and is a great movie, but to say it's a better movie than almost anything he's made/directed since is just film ignorance.
I've Not Seen Clerks Yet But I Hear It's So Good!
I think red state is really, really good! Tusk, pretty bad.
+andersenkalle Tusk may not be the best movie ever, but just how it came to be makes it good. It's a cool origin story.
+Matt Murley I loved it man it was like a sick joke
so does kevin always smell like a toilet by the time breakfast starts each day?
I love listening to Kevin, but he always sweats so much, which is fine, but I wish he would carry around a towel or sth. to wipe his face in between...
>surprised that you could drive to another country
oh Americans... you'd never survive Europe
He's wearing 4 layers of clothing no wonder he's sweating. Plus he was so overweight back then too.
Watching him just sitting there and sweat pouring down his face in streams make me want to puke.
marriage is for a man & woman.
Or, you know, for a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
marriage is for any idiot that wants to get married and the idiot who wants to marry them asshole
I don't give a fuck what people do I'm just tired of hearing the debates.
It is actual a contract between two people and the government to have those two people become one person under they eyes of taxation of the government.
marriage is for the government
Think the priests position now would be behind folk 😳
