In this episode of The Collection, filmmaker Kevin Smith joins us for an unfiltered conversation about one of the most controversial and beloved films of his career: DOGMA. We dive deep into the origins of the film, the backlash from religious groups, the battle over distribution rights, and why DOGMA remains one of the most elusive cult classics in modern cinema. Kevin opens up about casting Alanis Morissette as God, working with Alan Rickman, and how the film’s themes of faith, doubt, and dogma are more relevant today than ever. Plus, we get the real story behind why you can’t stream DOGMA anywhere—and what it would take to bring it back. Whether you’re a die-hard View Askewniverse fan or discovering DOGMA for the first time, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 🔊 Stream now on all platforms. #KevinSmith #Dogma #TheCollectionPodcast #ViewAskewniverse #FilmHistory #MovieRights #CultClassic #Podcast
