Fatman on Batman!!

I just had to promote this...one of my favourite writer/directors/Internet personalities and all around funny guy Kevin Smith has added a new podcast to his ever-growing Smodcast network...Not burying the lead here, it's called Fatman on Batman!

Love or hate Kevin Smith, if you're at ALL interested in Batman you'll like this!  Episode 1 features a riveting interview with Batman: The Animated Series writer and producer Paul Dini that made me jones to watch the whole series all over again!

Episodes 2 and 3 are a two-part interview with the man, the myth, the Maniac of Mirth, The Joker himself, Mr. Mark Hamill!  I could not STOP laughing and LEARNING!  Fascinating, entertaining stuff that EVERY fan of Batman should be dying to hear!

Best part?  ALL FREE!  Go to Smodcast.com to download free of charge or subscribe on iTunes!  You can thank me later, after you've listened!

AMC Presents - Comic Book Men!

So I've know about this for a while, but wanted to see what you all think...



Comic Book Men is a new reality TV show starting on AMC February 12, 2012....finally a reality show for Geeks!!  Set in a comic book store and using the same basic principles as shows such as Pawn Stars (I guess), it's scheduled to follow The Walking Dead and appeal to the same audience.  The comic book store in questions is Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash and the employees of the store are already somewhat known from the podcasts "Tell 'Em Steve-Dave" and "I Sell Comics!", both available at Smodcast.com.  None of that is really important though, except that I've been listening to both podcasts for a long time and can vouch for the oft-hilarious content.  It also means that Kevin Smith is heavily involved in this.  Whether you find that a good or a bad thing is up to you.  Personally, I'm a big fan.  Anyway, If we MUST be stuck with reality TV shows, this has GOT to be better than another whiny model or bad singer show, right?  Right!

Kevin Smith - RED STATE

I LOVE Kevin Smith.  I became a huge fan instantly upon seeing his fourth movie, "Dogma" in theatres back in 1999 and I've never looked back.  All of his movies mean something to me and I listen to his many podcasts on an almost daily basis.  So when I say that I was looking forward to his latest feature, "Red State" you understand the context.  Kevin Smith is something of a hero and a role model for me and I'm always tremendously excited to see what he's planning next.  So on Labour Day weekend, when "Red State" became available to the world through Video-On-Demand I couldn't wait to finally check it out (two nights in a row!). What did I think?  Find out after the jump...
