Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) joins us this week to share the duality of having immense gratitude for everything he’s been able to accomplish throughout his career, all the while being cursed with ambition that drives him to create more. Being a trailblazer in independent film, Kevin gives us his opinion about the current state of filmmaking post pandemic, the cyclical similarities between major sci-fi franchises, and the problem with today’s movie rating system. We also talk about creating a legacy off of a basic name, bottoming your way through life, and embracing fandom.
In other words if you have the money for an entire film? You can adhere to your vision. If you need somebody else's money? Compromise.
Even if you have the money to self finance a film, it's intelligent to take on constructive criticism. Case in point Jenifer Lopez's latest self financed film where she surrounded her self with yes people. Same with George Lucas on the Staw Wars prequel trilogy. In the original trilogy, many people helped amend George's script which made it more watchable.
@@hubey Up to a point, yes. I think Smith goes way beyond that point. He's tired and blase. Is that really a bad thing? I don't know.
"Modify your expectations" ... I love that. You're never going to get everything you want, it's about compromise and collaboration. Being stubborn usually gets you nowhere fast. - Jay Thomas
Is it weird that Kevin looks healthier than ever as an older man than a younger one?
Losing weight can do that to a person.
Carrying less fat often has that effect.
no, that is how weight loss works
It's because he is.
Sounds like maturity.
No matter what decision you make or action you take in your adult life, compromise is going to be part of it whether you realize it or not. Just try to use it as a strength
Love the channel Michael!
I fund my own movies still. No need for compromise unless an actor or camera dept has a cool idea.
Did you know that the subscribe button flashes when Kevin says "I don't subscribe to that"? Click on 1:46 and see.
Wow it does!
Interesting clip, I’d say his wife didn’t modify her expectations she was opened up to different possibilities, after all everything we experience is unique😊
Kevin Smith is a great interview! lol
“If you bend, that’s when they get ya” 😂
I agree with Smith about just being into the stuff that interests you regardless of others opinions. However that model was fine when the studios and actors just did their job and didn't spew their entire thought process onto social media. They scream their agenda from the rooftops now and call their fanbases all the ists and phobes under the sun, before the project even hits the screens! Hell most of em feel it's their moral obligation to lecture the audience on whatever nonsense is in their heads just because they have a platform? With so much agenda in everything nowadays, of course the audience is gonna latch onto critics who will inform them of what a project has at it's heart before they waste cash seeing it. It's such a pity that the normies are even going there but still get stuck with mouthpiece sites like IMDB or Rotten Tomatos. Surprised a professional like Micheal goes to those sites when there are so many more honest outlets to hit up. Great talk 👍
Right because the 10000 anti woke content mills youtube channels you drool over are any better
@@plaidchuckWho mentioned woke? That term is so overused it has become meaningless anyway. The paying customer may have preferences. Rotten tomato’s was based on honest reviews for the customer with a budget. That became really popular for a reason. They sold out. Go to someone else who does give honest reviews is all I’m saying.
What that guy said about Kevin Smith has some validity.
Meaning?
@@MrMisuma oh, I was just thinking of a quote from a book of film criticism called Hatchet Job.
Also don't cast your wife if she can't act.
Ouch!
I thought his wife was a very good actress.
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 She's also 90% plastic at this point.
You have seen his movies right? He’s not going for Oscar performances. He’s having fun. She’s not an actress. Smoke a joint man.
@@joegrayii Wasn't Tusk nominated?
@@joegrayii Didn't you watch this? There's a lot of money invested in making and releasing a movie, it's a business.
There's compromise, then there's outright lying to your fans and the fans of an IP.
Still waiting for that apology to Clownfish. They offered you a way where you didn't have to compromise, just honest. But you lied for months until the He-man show hit the streets then everyone realised you lied.
Yup, feel the same way
Stop talking like you know these people and are addressing them personally, it's cringe
@plaidchuck so if I talk about CNN it means I know them personally. Crispy. The guy is a shill just to put it lightly. He flushed his decades of credibility down the loo because the studios relied on his street cred to pass their agenda. People might have respected him more if he came out frank about it, but he shilled hard, so hard he couldn't hold his tears back.
He still needs to apologise to Clownfish TV! Never forget
Nah, clownfish can jump in a hole.
@@gwell2118 you can dislike them all you want, but they were right and this dude tried to bury them publicly.
@@justmeok2as he should. They suck and the world will be better off with less clickbait in it. Them’s the truth 🤷♂️
Clownfish TV?
Is there any evidence of Kevin Smith ever getting better?
Has he made anything worth watching in the past 20 years?
I'll bet nobody can name his last film. And it wasn't Yoga Hosers.
clerks 2 is worth watching
All of his stuff is insightful. But he tapered off probably around Red State. I think his last film was jay and silent bob revisited. And there was a horror movie with Jericho. Both of which i haven't seen, mainly because of distribution and some disappointment with his connection to Weinstein, not that I blame Kevin.
Still waiting for the day Kevin Smith dresses like an adult and not a stoner 19 year old.
Get comfortable
He's literally wearing a blazer... Seems pretty adult to me
@@WildOneFilms I love me some KS, just bustin balls a bit.
The dude definitely has a look he likes... it's essentially same one from Clerks, when he was 23.
it's just the hat, the rest of the outfit is quite mature
@WildOneFilms yeah i know, wtf is with that guys comment?
I’m surprised he didn’t quit and walk into the woods after She-Woman.
The He Man he created never became that. I watched it & enjoyed it.
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 I also watched it. It was woke garbage. Kill He-Man in the first episode and make a woman the main protagonist. They literally put a chick in it and made her lame and gay.
If you stuck with it, you’d have seen where he was going. It was actually pretty good.
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 Killed He-Man in the first episode and made a 💪 🏳️🌈 👩 the protagonist. That’s exactly what they did.
@@lonestarrk9308 I’ll say this much. I was challenged to watch the first season & much to my surprise, I enjoyed it! Farther more, He - Man never became She - Woman & even clownfish tv explained the two female characters in it were just friends. One last thing, I know you disagree with Kevin’s treatment to it, but are you telling me, you wouldn’t jump at the chance to make a new He - Man cartoon, if given the chance too?
I wanted a badass He-Man and The Masters Of The Universe reboot but had to modify my expectations and watch a lame "Teela: The Animated Series" show.
You caaaaan't always git watcha waant
I havent seen it. But i bet it was good.
He lied about being a masters of the universe fan and then proceeded to crap all over the legacy of the show with his Netflix version
