  • Clerks: The Animated Series (feat. Valerie)

    We're joined by very special guest and fellow Kevin Smith scholar Valerie (aka StealingValerie) to chat about the short-lived TV show CLERKS: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Everybody liked it except for Trevor because he's a grumpy old curmudgeon. We also briefly discuss the aborted pilot for a live-action Clerks sitcom, which nobody liked. Later, in Kevin's Receipts, we talk Weight Watchers sponcon and Feige juice.

  • Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

    Phase One of the View Askewniverse comes to its momentous conclusion in the pre-9/11 comedy classic JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. Rose and Ted have their high hopes shattered by this irredeemable mess of a movie, and the future looks bright for #TeamTrev. Also, Kevin Smith wants you to know that he's NOT a homophobe.

  • Dogma (feat. Kurt Schiller)

    We're joined by special guest Kurt Schiller to unpack Kevin Smith's star-studded Bible adventure, DOGMA. We try to figure out what, if anything, this film has to say about Catholicism, and Kurt lends his expertise as a New Jersey native to help us understand the mythical state that molded Kevin into the manchild he is today.

  • Chasing Amy

    In 1997, auteur filmmaker Kevin Smith shocked the world with CHASING AMY, a groundbreaking story of queer romance in the world of comic books, and earned himself a spot in the pantheon of LGBTQ+ cinema. On an inspirational new episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin, we all learn an important lesson about love and acceptance from this breathtaking classic.

  • Mallrats

    We're back, and we're discussing the profound emptiness of MALLRATS, Kevin Smith's sophomore film about a couple of whiny jerks who go to the mall to yell at their ex-girlfriends. Why does this movie exist? Why did we all watch the painfully long extended version? And why does Ted keep insisting that he actually liked it? None of these questions will be answered on this week's episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin!

  • Clerks

    Welcome to We Need to Talk About Kevin, a podcast in which we investigate the life and works of filmmaker Kevin Smith and attempt to figure out what, if anything, is going on inside his brain. On this inaugural episode, your hosts, Ted, Rose, and Trevor, take a look back at the movie that started it all, 1994's black-and-white cult classic CLERKS and try to determine whether or not it's worthy of its reputation. Plus, we revisit Kevin's most infamous Twitter post.

  • The Player (feat. Brianna Zigler)
    We're really stretching the limits of LEMMON PARTY with a movie in which Jack Lemmon is just barely visible in the background of a couple of shots, Robert Altman's THE PLAYER. But it's a great episode nonetheless with our special guest Brianna Zigler, whose fantastic writing you can find in Paste magazine and many more fine outlets as well as on her own Substack newsletter THAT'S WEIRD. For context, please note that this episode was recorded in January prior to the release of JACKASS FOREVER. Now if you've read this far, you're required to click on all of these wonderful links:

  • The Apartment (feat. Queer Quadrant)
    Jordan and Brooke from the Queer Quadrant podcast join Val and Trev to unpack the hidden queer subtext in one of the all-time certified Lemmon Classics, THE APARTMENT! Actually I don't remember if we discussed any queer stuff in this movie. Maybe we did. I mainly just said that because that's the thing that they do on their show.

  • LEMMON PARTY - Getting Away With Murder (feat. Will Sloan)
    Former MATTHAU MAY guest Will Sloan is back, as promised, and we're bound by verbal contract to watch and discuss GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER, a terrible movie starring an actor whom Will seems to truly hate. But don't blame us, it was his idea! To be honest though, if we hadn't previously committed to doing this episode with him, it's pretty likely that LEMMON PARTY never would have existed in the first place. So there's that.
