Original SModcast hits episode #110 (and celebrates the return of Mosier) this week with “Pink Lip Moan”, a new episode where “our heroes secure both a sponsor AND a lover.” Followers of Kevin’s twitter may already know who that sponsor is, the rest of you will want to head on over to www.smodcast.com to find out. Don’t forget, episode #109 was the great Steve-Dave crossover episode, a landmark event that you shouldn’t miss. Speaking of…

Tell ‘Em Steve-Dave has hit episode #3 , “An Affair to Forget”: “Desperate to impress their special guest, Bry’s depravity sinks to new lows with the admission of a 20 year-old secret. Walt’s toadyism gives douche chills to even the most practiced ass-kisser.” If you’re not listening, you’re missing one of the top-rated comedic podcasts in the nation. Yes, Steve-Dave is a hit.

Don’t forget the newest member of the family, The “Mo and Glo” show from Toronto, Ontario, starring Malcolm Ingram and his Mom. Episode #2, “Salut and Sayanora”, went live last week. Like its brothers, this is another top-rated podcast on iTunes and well worth your valuable listening time.

New episodes of all three programs appear exclusively at www.smodcast.com all week long, and yes, all three are TOTALLY FREE. You can download at will, or subscribe via iTunes or your podcast program of choice, and they’ll show up as soon as they’re live (no more waiting). Enjoy, and much thanks to the entire family for the free, fun, weekly entertainment.

Via @GothyChainsaw “saw COP OUT. I totally loved it!” This week it’ll be the first film I directed to have a 4 at head of box office gross.

Via @AnZsDad “Fantastic episode. Glad to have Scott back. Now to order a Fleshlight” In two weeks: SCOTT’S tale of Fleshlight ribaldry…

If you love(d) Carlin, come see him get blown posthumously @ NY Public Library’s George Carlin tribute event, March 24th. I’m totally going.

Lots more fun as always, direct on the feed – We’re just spotlighting the big news. For all the fun, humor, and random comments, you gotta follow @ThatKevinSmith.

“Gyre” has been full of action, twists, and major events in the Bat-verse, and should not be missed. Pick up Batman: Widening Gyre at your local comic shop — If you don’t see it, ask for it — Or directly through the Secret Stash, the greatest comic book shop in all the land.

If you didn’t already know, this series is tremendous. Clerks: The Animated Series tackles a lot of the same topics as in the movies but thanks to the additional freedom that animation grants, the series shines like a freaking diamond. The humor found here is not fully like in the movie, where vulgarity and cruelness plays a big part. In the series, the jokes are expanded into unique ideas that were absolutely made for television. Jokes, references, and pop culture hysteria are quickly rattled off one after another in a hilarious string of continuance. Not to mention the fantastic jabs they take against popular sitcom devices: fake sitcom introductions (“this show was drawn in front of a live studio audience”), narrative recap devices (“previously on Clerks – beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep”), infamous television staples (such as the clip show episode being only the second episode of the series) movie spoofs (Schindler’s List + Flintstones = Flintstone’s List), and other popular culture figures.

Via @FiendishDrWu “Any chance of Mewescast being resurrected?” He’s shooting two gigs, so no time. But I’ve still got 2 more pods coming…

Via @KIRedford “saw #COPOUT but i didnt see Morgan funny “hand-twitch” as mentioned in SMod. Why?” Scene was shortened. Deleted scene now.

Consider for a moment that both Bryan & Walt, and Malcolm & his Mom both saw their podcasts debut at #20 in iTunes. Out of what? 2million?

Via @DaveHarper1888 “DUBLIN shows. WHEN?” We’re looking at Sept/Oct/Nov at the moment. That’d be London, Glasgow, Dublin again, + new stops.

Via @billlehecka “$9.1mil weekend. #CopOut looks profitable. Better: profitable or have critical acclaim?” The former means you work again.

Don’t forget — Kevin exclusively offers a dirt cheap swag item each day via his Twitter feed , but only to the first 37 twitter users who buy it. Then, it’s gone. That, and the daily laughs, are but two of the many reasons you gotta be following @ThatKevinSmith if you’re not already. While you’re at it, don’t forget, @NewsAskew is on there too.

“Brian Fiete, who co-founded the company along with Jason Kapalka and me, was our primary coder in those days (he’s still our chief tech guru). Right after we made the decision to offer a ‘deluxe’ version of Bejeweled for $19.95, Brian devised a little ‘applet’ that would cause a “cha-ching!” old school cash register sound every time someone actually ponied up $20 for the game. At first it was great fun to hear it go off… on one occasion the three of us were sitting around watching the film “Clerks” and one of the characters said something like “dude, you’ll never get rich sitting around on your ass all day” – and the “cha-ching” sounded and we just fell over laughing… after a couple of days that damned “cha-ching” was going off every minute or two and it was driving us nuts… but that was when we realized we might actually have a hit on our hands.”

Congrats to Kevin and all the cast and crew of “Cop Out” for getting the job done. Box office analysts are calling the film a win as well, citing that it’s one of Willis’ best openings in years. This weekend’s numbers also tell us that word of mouth is good, and that audiences are continuining to check out the movie despite some other big releases looking to push it out of the way. With many international releases still on the way, and the eventual DVD/Bluray versions, we’re expecting continued kudos to Kevin, and crossing our fingers for good news on the “Hit Somebody” and “Red State” projects here in 2010. Stick around, it’s gonna get even more interesting around here. More news later today.

Kevin Smith’s 40th Birthday
Presented by: Count Basie Theatre

Monday, August 2, 2010 – 7pm

Join writer, producer, director, actor and Monmouth County native Kevin Smith on his 40th birthday for a no-holds-barred evening of questions and answers. Clever, but profane and spiked with pop-culture references, Smith’s scripts have been described as, “David Mamet meets Howard Stern.” A limited number of Gold Circle tickets to benefit the Count Basie Theatre’s restoration will be sold, including a post-event meet-and-greet with Kevin.

Tickets: $500, $79.50, $69.50, $49.50, $29.50

(The $500 ticket price includes a post-show meet-and-greet with Kevin and will benefit the Count Basie Theatre’s restoration)

Reserve your seats today. The Basie is not a general admission type venue, so you’ll be able to pick the best, most specific seats RIGHT NOW. As you can see, there’s a large range of prices, and for those of you with deeper pockets, a rare chance to have some face time with Kevin following the show. See you there!

Today, our SModcast Podcast Network (home of SMODCAST, as well as TELL ‘EM STEVE-DAVE) has to extend the belt one more notch as we grow. If you’ve been a SModcast listener, or if you’ve only listened to SModcast108, then you’re familiar w/ true (North) original @MalcolmIngram. Today, like Bry & Walt, @MalcolmIngram gets his very own podcast. And for a regular co-host, he chose Oedipally: his Mom, Gloria Ingram. So without further ado, SModcast network proudly presents… THE TORONTO, ONTARIO ‘MO & GLO(ria) SHOW! http://smodcast.com/moandglo/

The complete SModcast scheudle will be a new SModcast every Sunday, Mo & Glo on Wednesday, and Tell ‘Em Steve-Dave on Fridays. Eventually, Kevin would like the network to have a regular Monday-Friday schedule, with a total of 5 programs, one new each weekday, with the weekends off.
