Well folks, apparently AMC aired a reality show all about Kevin's boring friends running Kevin's vanity comic shop, and it's every bit as dull as it is fake. Inexplicably, it ran for seven seasons. Seven seasons of this garbage! For this week's episode, we watched as much as we could stomach of COMIC BOOK MEN.

Well, folks, we really blew it. We've been lucky enough to have future legendary filmmaker Vera Drew (Beef House, The People's Joker) on the show twice so far in season 2, and both times we bungled the recording! So rather than let all that time and effort go to waste, we cobbled together this supercut of all the best bits we were able to salvage from each of these failed episodes. First we discuss VULGAR, a truly disgusting, abhorrent work of filth from Kevin's friend Bryan Johnson, and then we talk MADNESS IN THE METHOD, the strange, cathartic directorial debut from Jason Mewes.

Inevitably and regrettably, we expand our scope beyond Kevin Smith the filmmaker and into the equally upsetting world of Kevin Smith the comic book writer. Niel Jacoby, host of Spall Talk and Mature Listeners, helps us unpack the painful experience of reading Kevin's two consecutive Batman series, Cacophony and The Widening Gyre.

Our good friend Valerie is back again, to suffer through another excruciatingly long Kevin Q&A session with us. AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH is almost four hours long and absolutely packed with rambling stories that go nowhere. This one is so long that even the audience of adoring Kevin fans becomes visibly bored by the end. We fucking hated this shit, but we do it all for you, folks!

For the first time in the history of the podcast, Rose, Trev, and [Edward] talk about a movie that Kevin Smith had absolutely nothing to do with. Don't worry, we'll be back next week with more god-awful Kevin material. But BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC is just too important for us not to talk about, and it provides a perfect counterexample to pretty much every shitty thing Kevin has ever done.

Writer/photographer/erstwhile podcaster Abdul Y. Malik joins the Kevin crew to analyze the utterly pointless MAGNUM DOPUS: THE MAKING OF JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT. Were you dying to learn the inside story of how and why Kevin Smith's latest film was made? Of course not. Nobody was. But Kevin is addicted to talking to a camera, so here's a whole documentary about it.

Our good friend Kurt Schiller makes a return appearance for a very special episode in which we discuss something that we actually liked and only sort of involves Kevin. SOUTHLAND TALES is an incredibly weird, audacious, operatic mess of a movie that we all fell in love with and had a great time talking about. It also features a brief appearance by filmmaker Kevin Smith.

We're back! On the probing and incisive season premiere of We Need to Talk About Kevin, we dig into Kevin Smith's heroic origin story and learn the names of all the individual creeps responsible for giving him a career. Yes, apparently there is a feature-length documentary about the making of CLERKS and we watched it on purpose.

Wow! It's a very special season finale of We Need to Talk About Kevin featuring none other than Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House! It's been a long, regrettable journey, but we've finally reached our destination. We watched Kevin Smith's most recent (and hopefully last ever) movie, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT, and our esteemed guest is here to help us decide whether it's the best or worst movie of his miserable career.

Thanks for listening, everybody! We're taking a hiatus for the sake of our mental health, but there's still plenty of Kevin-related garbage left to sift through, so we'll see you all in season 2! Maybe.

Hey, it's your two favorite guys, Jay and the other one, together again in extremely shitty, ugly animated form. This is the kind of garbage that only truly committed Kevin Smith scholars would even dare to watch. That's right, it's JAY & SILENT BOB'S SUPER GROOVY CARTOON MOVIE!
