MONDAY NOTE: We realize a Monday without SModcast is a sad one — Alas, this week, due to production setup for “Zack and Miri”, there will be no new episode. Kevin was still out in Los Angeles, while Scott and the recording gear were in Pittsburgh. Expect some delays here and there as pre-production on “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” is going to take a lot of time and effort, but we’re sure the guys will check in with new episodes as often as they possibly can.

This month’s issue of “Wizard” magazine has a feature article titled “Hollywood Hotlist” (”From J.J. Abrams to Zack Snyder, take a look at the 25 hottest filmmakers that all of tinseltown is chasing”). Kevin comes in at number 17. Our newest member of the View Askew family, Seth Rogen, takes the number 9 slot. Scans are here, as always. Click and enjoy, and congrats to both Kevin and Seth on their Hollywood elite status.

Congrats to Dogma’s “God”, Alanis Morissette, who will be inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame and be presented with a lifetime achievement award this March.

Check out the podcast titled “Panel Borders”, which recently aired on the UK’s Resonance 104.4 FM. The episode features a new interview with Jim Mahfood and his comics career so far, including his work on the Clerks comic and the influence that had on the look of the Clerks animated series. The podcast should appear as a plugin that streams on the left hand side of the page once it loads up (give it a few extra seconds).

Things always tend to slow up a bit over the Thanksgiving weekend, as folks get into the holiday spirit. We’re expecting a busier December than usual, though, with a lot of “Zack and Miri” news coming our way. We’re also putting the finishing touches on our dedicated Zack and Miri site, where we’ll collect all the news specific to that film, past, present, and future. Watch for it soon. See ya tomorrow!
