Movies Never Say Die - Episode 14: Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

On this episode of Movies Never Say Die we get into Kevin Smith's latest movie Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. It's a sequel and a reboot. It was kind of a given our little podcast about reboots and sequels would discuss this movie. It's right there in the title!

Before Matt and Justin get to the Pipeline segment they talk about how the coronavirus has affected their lives and the world of movies. To our loyal listeners out there, and anyone else who happens to stumble upon our show, we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy through this ordeal that we are all facing. Take care of each other, social distance, stay at home if you can, wear a mask if you do have to go out, and.......

Wash Your Hands!

In the Pipeline we talk about currently in production (even if production is currently suspended) and recently announced movies like The Matrix 4, Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, and Shrunk the new sequel in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids franchise. We also give our reactions to two trailers for hopefully soon to be released sequels A Quiet Place 2 and the next Candyman film. Oh we also mention the announcement of a Dragon's Lair video game adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds.

But in our main segment we do get all up into Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Is it really "literally the same fuсking movie all over again" as director/star Kevin James...I mean Kevin Smith has said? If you saw the movie you will understand that joke. The 8th movie in Smith's View Askewniverse, does it live up to his prior entries? There are a lot of actors and characters from the past that return for this outing. We know Smith is trying to bring some of his greatest hits like Mallrats and Clerks back to the big screen for sequels. Does Jay and Silent Bob Reboot do well enough to make us think that's a good idea? We're not going to spoil that here, you'll have to listen to get our takes.

As always, thanks for giving us a shot. We hope we keep you entertained enough to give our next episodes a listen. If you subscribe, that's just icing on the cake for us. Make sure you get in touch with us to let us know what you want to see on upcoming episodes!
