Clerks (1994) Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

Look, I screwed up as my end of summer imploded, OK? So this is a rare episode with no guest host, just Jason and me (the only other movies when that has happened were Die Hard, Heat, The Dead Zone, To Live and Die in L.A., and both parts of Denis’ Dune.) Perfect timing for two old Gen X broskis to cut it up about Kevin Smith’s 1994 masterpiece, Clerks. Can you feel the nostalgia?

Show notes

For over 200 consecutive episodes (starting all the way back on Episode 12, our S2 premiere covering David Lynch’s Dune!), one man has been along for the ride every step of the way, leaving us a voicemail.

And true to form, he takes us into the deep dark world of 90’s exploitation cinema, with Quentin Tarantino & Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.!

Then, we cover Tommy’s HUGE PICK, Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg’s The Goonies. Unbelievable ep!
