"BUT I'M LACTOSE!" - Brad Jones 2001

Your 37?! This was the perfect age to see this movie!

"Maybe you're just getting older." "No. That's impossible. It's Kevin Smith who's getting older."

“Why would I marry you if I barely tolerate you?” Sadly, this question gets a different tone when asked towards the end of a relationship.

Bonus fact: Harley Quinn Smith was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back too. She plays baby silent bob at the beginning.

Brad: Hmm... damn. Don't have a Jay & Silent Bob related shirt. I'll wear my White Castle shirt, it's close enough, I guess. (cue the Harold & Kumar reference in "Jay & Silent Bob Reboot") Brad: Oh, thank goodness.

Btw.. The viewaskewniverse not only predates the mcu, but was also doing the Stan Lee cameo first!💖

But does Martin Scorcese see it as cinema?

I'm the CLIT commander!

“Your the only 20 year old that would bring in a thing of milk.” “At THAT screening that’s debatable”

I’m 20 and I loved Clerks 1 and 2, Mallrats I also enjoyed, Dogma I loved and I also liked Chasing Amy. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back I liked but it wasn't my favorite Kevin Smith movie and never demanded a sequel to it. I'm more excited for Clerks 3 then anything

Since it isn't playing anywhere near me, I'm kind of glad for this perspective. Surely it will be a good one to watch at home.

I'm part of Gen Z, and I've seen the entire Viewaskewniverse, and I absolutely loved this one. Kinda feels like the perfect ending to the series. I kinda wish we would have gotten to see more of what happened to Dante and Randell though.

Kevin Smith would had approved of the Milk until he went Vegan he use to drink like 2 gallons a day he said.

Whatever your next film is, you gotta use that "But I'm lactose" line somewhere. Or sell it as a T-shirt.

*Its funny, Kevin Smith said the MCU stole the cinematic universe from him, but he stole the idea from marvel comics so it came full circle*

I'm pretty sure my wife and I were at the same screening as both of you last night. I thought I had recognized you. I agree with a lot of what Brad said. I was thinking a lot of the same things just after seeing this. It does have funny moments, but some scenes do feel like they go on too long, and I also very much agree about the lack of a variety in the shots. I know Kevin Smith isn't the most visual director out there, but compared to most of his films, especially things like Mallrats, Dogma, and Strike Back which had a lot more going on in terms of characters traveling places, etc. (as opposed to the Clerks films where they are mostly standing around one location for most of the film.... and even then it didn't feel as monotonous), this still felt very lacking in that respect by comparison. It also doesn't help that they are trying to basically do a new version of/throwback to "Strike Back" on less than half of the budget for that movie (not adjusting for inflation). "Strike Back's" budget was $22 mil, while "Reboot's" is $10mil. So they couldn't even do nearly as much with this as they could with the prior one, and honestly it showed. Where we had the bong-saber battle in "Strike Back," here we see a clip from the new "Bluntman V Chronic" which is mostly just standing around and talking... and that is a clip that was kind of funny, but went on too long, as was the case with many scenes. While there are a lot of cameos in the movie, in some respects even that felt lacking compared to "Strike Back," as this had less past Aksewniverse characters show up in it than Strike Back did. And in this movie it was much more painfully obvious that they were shooting around the brief time that the people making cameos had available to film their scenes. Budget still doesn't explain all of the problems though, because IMO even Chasing Amy was a more visually interesting film than this and was made for $250 thousand. Getting back to scenes dragging on, the odd thing is that his films have always been very dialogue heavy, and at least for the previous Askewniverse movies, usually it was interesting and it rarely if ever felt like it was dragging out too long. This one, however, often felt like scenes should have ended long before they actually did. Sure, this is still better than movies like Zoolander 2 that just try to hit all of the same beats again and don't do much new with it. At least this is doing some clever riffing on reboots and the like. But that only goes so far. I was actually pleasantly surprised with Kevin's daughter in her role. I think she did a great job overall in her part, and gave a performance that justifies her being in the movie for reasons beyond being the director's daughter. I just felt like the new version of the "girl gang" wasn't really fleshed out very well. The other three gang members were more or less there and didn't really stand out in any capacity beyond the fact that they are different races (and in one case, def). You could have swapped any one of the other three out with someone else and it really wouldn't have mattered (comparatively speaking, at least the characters from the girl gang from Strike Back were mostly memorable on their own individual merits). Even when something unexpected happens later in the movie with them, it still didn't do much to change that IMO. Overall this just feels like it should be a rough cut of a new Kevin Smith "Askewniverse" movie rather than the final product. And that disappoints me. While not the greatest films of all time, I still hold the past Askewniverse films in relatively high regard overall. If I had to rank them all from best to worst, this one would be on the bottom of the list by a pretty wide margin.

I saw it last night to. Got the same poster 😏 I’m going again for the road show and get to meet kevin & burnboy.

Hi Laura & Brad. I always remember (in 1995) , when I celebrated one whole week long a double feature of 'Clerks' & Linklaters 'Before Sunrise'. bonté

OMG. you brought up so many memories. once upon a time i went to a midnight screening of Jay and Silent Bob. we had white Russians and we were hi as hell. i thought we were gonna get kicked out but other people kept asking us for weed and shots of the vodka we had. good times

According to Kevin Smith, he said the budget was $10 million, as opposed to Strike Back's $22 million. One of the reasons why Reboot got a two-night Fathom Event is to keep the marketing cost low. He did also say when the movie reaches a Reboot Roadshow Tour city in the following months, the movie will release in some places around that particular area.

Been awhile since I've last seen Jay and Silent Bob In action!

I've been to a live show of Jay and Silent Bob get old podcast in Orlando. I hope to catch a q & a if he does one again soon.

I respect a man that cross-Promotes with no motive.

Does the car in the background have another movie review going on in there?

I LOVED it! Haters can hate. The so-called Kevin Smith fans who go he lost it but apparently don't like his humor are the ones out of touch. Lmao. It has hella heart. The daughter stuff, Ben Affleck & Stan Lee cameos.. Yes, there's fan service, corny comedy but so what! It's a stoner movie of nostalgia. I mean my god.. err Alanis Morrisette. Heh

Well seeing as Kevin no longer has Scott mosier and David Klien I don't think any thing will feel 100% the same. David Klien never got the respect he deserved for his editing in the early years of viewaskew.

Yay regal theatre. Love that place. Reclining seats are very nice

Hey, since you're living in Chicago now, is Jojo Rabbit playing anywhere near you this weekend?

They were making another one?

I finally sat down and watched this movie. While the first 30 min was slow the rest was pretty good.

Clerks 2 is the funniest film ever made. The deleted scene where Randal and Dante are driving from the Go-Carts and talking about Jizzing on the seat and the mother getting pregnant is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Red state is easily kevin smiths most underrated movie.

As one from Generation Z, I love Kevin Smith and his films

In-jokes, self-deprecation, having fun and nodding to the camera.... It's almost like Kevin Smith makes movies FOR his fans instead of insulting them! BLASPHEMY!!!!

I enjoyed Reboot but between Mewes just being hard to look at now(say no to drugs, kids) and Smith's mugging being completely insufferable, the 2 leads are the worst thing about it. But everything else is a lot of fun, and Smith's daughter is legit great.

It’s a mess of a film but You can tell Smith poured his heart and soul into this movie and it’s legitimately the best thing he’s made in a while.

Saw this last night really good 8/10

This movie actually slipped my mind (Shame on me!) but I'll definitely get around to seeing it. I remember hearing about it and honestly, didn't think it sounded too great but so far, the reviews are mostly positive.

During the movie, I literally thought the same thing at one point when it comes to part of the Ben Affleck shot looking like a featurette. Still, it was good to see that scene overall.

Just started the video - praying for the best here! By-the-way, big fan Brad! Would you be up to doing a voice cameo in a video me and some friends are making for January 2020?

To answer Laura's question, I'm 22 and most of Kevin Smith's movies speak to me. Mallrats is my favorite, with Clerks 1 & 2 a close second & third, and Dogma behind that. I liked Chasing Amy when I saw it, but I remember next to nothing from it. The only one, ironically, I was not a big fan of was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I know the reasoning for his weight loss but I can't get used to thin Kevin Smith. But I loved the movie, I just wish Randall's actor hadn't held out. I'd love to see what happened with RST Video being gone.

Gotta love a couple that can plaid together

Goddamn....I come back to this channel after a year. She's even hotter than ever, and Brad now has a porno moustache. I forgot how awesome this channel is.

How old is your wife? I’m just curious because she’s always saying she’s too young to know about many things.

Milk? Like whole plain? Not strawberry or chocolate?

Keith Coogan?!!? From Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, Toy Soldiers and Adventures In Babysitting??? That's awesome!

The only time I ever sniggered in this movie was at the eggplant emoji joke. Apart from that it was as funny as cot death. Not even a Jason Lee cameo could save it.

Finally caught this last night, after it never made it to my wood's neck. It was... Something I watched. Biggest problem was it was safe, it was soft. There was no spark, no edge. Too much sentimentality wearing a knock off coat of forced humour. I've seen worse (Caddyshack 2, Mortdecai), but I've seen far better. It was like it took all the wrong steps from Clerks 2 and fed them until they were ripe to turn into pate. Makes me fear for Clerks 3.

Hahaha omg, literally haven't seen this show since 2013 and ofcourse the damn interior car light still goes out. Oh well, I guess I come back in 2025 and hope for the best.

On the left: "The future", on the right someone disoriented (talky, talky)...

I'm 28 years old european (from Czech republic) and these movies definitely speaks to me.

I'd love to see you review Vulgar.

It's 10 million dollars of fan service wrapped in a road movie and it paved the way for Clerks 3 happening soooooooooo I'm ok with it.

Yay! Here early!!!

22 jump street was meta

Gummies with milk is tasty AF.

The Cali movie showing last night was the same thing, and it was groovy and fun. We were totally watching this thing and did a review. Scary. I had a cup of cinnamon balls, not gummy penises, as in your older story. Ha. But last night there totally were these two old grumpy dudes who thought I was a pesky young person stopping in the 'aisle' to text, "no blocking the road" and it was like the whole freaking mall and the corridor was plenty opened enough to get around me. No Millennial would have been fooled at me dressed like a stoner with a psychedelic cat shirt, as I am an x gen around the same age as Smith. I was not actually stoned. I don't know him of course. Marvel fans, stay for those end credits!

when the cinema snob reboot movie?

My boyfriend and I are big Kevin Smith fans and were really excited to see Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. But watching it just made me want to watch the other movies. Stale jokes that were stale in Strike Back, clunky editing and too long of scenes made it drag and felt longer that it’s 1 hour 45 minute runtime. If you do want to see it, I would say It’s definitely a watch at home movie.

So, am I to believe we're getting this instead of a Clerks 3?

Midnight screening? It had a strict 7pm release no?

it was such a good movie, there were no issues in it at all as it was a nice tribute to the past movies!

Kevin Smith daughter stared in that movie about DiCaprio and Pitt as actor and stuntman

Laura check out RED STATE, TUSK is cool... DRAWING FLIES? VULGAR? MADNESS IN THE METHOD?

Why are they wearing the same shirt

I liked it enough but there were too many tight shots with lengthy dialogue. The movie didn't feel as grand as Strike Back and a lot of the jokes felt stale

I know this gets commented on every video but I seriously hope you guys stick with the car format. Even though it's less convenient for you it feels like it has a lot more energy to it and everyone seems much more excited to talk about the movie

really what I was really afraid of, the dogma commentary track really does show his problems as a director. And that was 20 years ago.

I'd rather skip the teen team scenes. Whenever the daughter is on screen, the movie drags

I couldn’t go see it since the tickets got sold out

Brad's wife ALWAYS looks sooo disinterested haha! She must have AMAZING willpower!

why would i marry you, if i didn't tolerate you ? because i have so many diamonds .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If this movie does not have a 30 minute long scene with a character like Todd from Breaking Bad that was in desperate need of an editor; It is fine by me.

laura is cool

there are two different types of groups ones who are Kevin Smith fans & those who love Stoner flicks !

anthem

Milk is disgusting? :O How can you say that!?

Brian O'Halloran had what, 5 roles in this movie? Step up Batfleck.

issues

Yaknow whatreally sucks? I cant really watch old kevin smith movies. I know they say they cleaned jay up for them, but one junkie can spot another across miles, haha, and thats all i can think about only being off dope for a little over a year now. Lmao.

didnt know margret thatcher once worked in a cinema . SHE TOOK HIS MILK

I have a beautiful wife and still amazed she puts up with my stupidity.

might even be worse than yoga hosers. he should be embarassed. just an excuse to put his daughter in a starring role

Nice to see Sarah again.

Fewer camera angles??? Great one. But, erneut, nothing was funny!

What a painful movie to sit through

Don't talk shit about milk !

Is Laura always checking herself on camera every minute? 😁

I like Kevin Smith as a Podcaster and as a person overrall, but I watched Chasing Amy for the first time and oof. Couldn't do it.

I have never liked Kevin Smith at all😕And this comes a guy who thinks Seth MacFarlane is one of the funniest people ever ❗️

selena gomez

I need a life. Being first just solidified that fact.

Stoned... it's no excuse! You will like Clerks III! Whatever. Another shitty film (like this one, there were no jokes!) build on the death on He-Man (not really, but the money to fuck up the next fim). Retire, please... That's the point! I like "Jay and Silent Bob strike back" but that was nothing and hard to get trough.

I HATE WHEN WOMAN FINALLY CONVINCE HER GUY TO DRESS "BETTER".

"but im lactose"

I agree with Laura. Milk is disgusting!

If you're not a boomer, this movie will bore you at it's worst or make you cringe-laugh at it's best. "But it's for the fans!" Yeah, the fans are boomers.

*Likes Kevin Smith films* *Sees a Kevin Smith film, complains about it being a Kevin Smith film* So much eyeroll
