SModcast is the meandering palaver of a pair of dudes whose voices are so dull, they don’t deserve to be on the radio (and, hence, aren’t). Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier are SModcast.The best thing about SModcast? It don’t cost nothing.

SModcast 54: SModder’s Day –

In which, fittingly, our heroes talk about childish things.

[CONTENT WARNING] SModcast features harsh language and even harsher notions of propriety. Listener discretion is advised.

Stop giving Kev negativity for this SModcast! I think its great that he loves his kid and talks to her for his Father’s Day SModCast. Why waste your time giving him bad vibes. Happy belated birthday Harley. I love it when he mixes it up with guests…

This Smodcast was kind of like the Jersey Girl of Smodcasts.
It’s what he wanted to do, but not exactly what a lot of his fans were looking for.

i liked this smodcast.
yes it was different and i missed moiser…but how great is it that harley has this broadcast for the rest of her life.
i lost my dad at 11 years old and i would kill to have this banter with my dad recorded.

i think it was great and it was a great fathers day present.

ps….harley is very lucky to have a kick a$$ dad!!

I actually thought it was alright and even liked it, These are convo’s Kevin puts up with the people close to him, convo’s about everyday things in which he talks about and lets us listen in on every once in awhile, i have alot of lil sisters so i may be used to hearing lil girls giggle, and it even reminds me of home, (In the Marines) but its nice having a mix in thier and for a second even though the show had a child in it, it still had a more mature tone then most other smodcasts, I love all the smodcasts and no matter how much people take them for granted or bitch and complain i hope thier continues to be a variety of guests and smodcast topics 🙂

Very cool. It’s pretty much the same usual humour but instead of saying ass and dick they’re sayin hiney-hole and weinie, which is probably funnier in a “tee hee hee” kinda way. Well it made me tee hee hee anyway.

I love Harley and Kevin is such a good father. There’s nothing nicer than seeing a father who likes to hang out with his daughter (instead of his son) and interact with them on their level, something that a lot of us didn’t have. She’s lucky to have such dedicated and supportive parents. So if you don’t want to be cheered up by one of the cutest kids and her amazing father than don’t listen but don’t give Kev shit for it if you don’t want to listen to it.

I finally have the illlustration of the gift horse parable I’ve been looking for… hey guys, sometimes it’s a stallion and sometimes it’s a pretty pony but it’s ALWAYS a gift horse! Get away from it’s fecking tonsils!

Kevin needs to talk about “The Happening” on the next smodcast!!
And Harley Quinn is super cute.

Kevin

There was nothing wrong with this episode. It fits the timing of its release perfectly, but it just happens to not appeal to the core audience who love every other episode. As a 21 year old dude, I can’t relate to either side of this conversation. I’m not a father, and I’m not a chick so I can’t be nostalgiac about how I used to be.

There were still a few laughs, and I’d certainly rather have it then no episode. I would have preferred a couple of the trademark what-if scenarios that always lead to awesome SModder fodder, but this was still enjoyable.

Just wanted to post since I saw so many people unhappy with this weeks SMODcast. I’m 23, unmarried, not a huge fan of children and yet I loved this episode. I listen to SMODcast and watch “An Evening With Kevin Smith” because you are such a unique and entertaining voice in hollywood that I enjoy finding out more about just how you live and what goes on in casa de Kev. Wouldn’t mind her back for another episode, keep on rocking sir.

This is not the worst Smod ever, smod 44 takes the cake easily; don’t be a douche, Mr. Smith took the time to share his fathers day with all of us.

The happening is the worst movie I have seen in two or three years, and I saw one missed call. I would love to hear Kevin’s take on it. I can honestly say based on the last three M Night pictures, this was my last one. Never again. If you haven’t seen it please don’t, if you have, and know where I can get my 1 1/2 hours back, not to mention my 20.50 for a pair of tickets I would appreciate it. The thrilling scenes were comical in parts and I can’t wait for Scary movie 6. Although the Wayen’s brothers might just show clips of the original, and I’ll laugh again.

While this was a very sweet moment with his daughter, I think it should’ve been left as that. I listened to all of it, and it was like talking to my little brother for about an hour.

BUT, being an adult podcast, it would’ve been nice to hear stories about Mos and Kev’s fathers if we’re doing a themed podcast.

Again, it’s great he has so much love for his kid, but not so great SModder.

I gained a ton of respect for Harley when she introduced her Dad at Roy Thomson Hall a couple of years back in front of a big crowd (especially to a kid) and I’m glad to see her getting involved in the Askewniverse quite nicely.

And to top it off Mosier now as the not-so-secret weapon of crunching ice into the mic at his disposal should things go awry.

Gosh, youre the best mr. smith. you are the funniest man alive. your movies are the best ever made by anyone ever. your blogs are the bloggiest. your views on not killing bugs should put you in the running for the Nobel(tm). I bet your car is the fastest, your pool water the wettest, and your beard probably feels like a mink stole.

seriously you people gotta realize he isnt going to invite you over to his home to be friends. kevin smith is a great entertainer. he can tell the shit out of a story and is quite funny. but these electronic hand jobs need to stop. i think there is more processed sugar in one of the comments than in kevins daily diet. sad sad bunch of losers.

Kevin, please stop mispronouncing DACHSHUND. I know you are trying to sound intelligent and are pronouncing it with what you think is the correct German pronunciation, but you’re mistaken. DACHSHUND is not spoken as DOCKSHUND, as you say it.

It is actually two distinct words. Dachs (meaning Badger), and Hund (meaning dog), pronounced hoond). Dachs Hund.

I second that. But unlike the people who are giving him said electronic hand jobs, I cut & pasted a few neg. comments from here to show some backlash (my mistake, but I really meant no disrespect to Mr. Smith) and he banished me from the View Askew board for not liking Queen or Freddie Mercury. Is that a way to treat a fan who buys View ASkew merch, no, but then again, as I said before my mistake was quoting the negative people here. Such militant yes-men, the people on the VA mesage board are.

The moral? Watch your words, people. Because Kevin Smith and all his militant yes-men will come back to bite you.

Peace out.

Matrix Pod 1138

So I just synced my Zune with my computer today and I had plans to work on my house and listen to the newest smodcast which was already downloaded and synced. So when I synced my software and the computer, it removed my smodcast 54 because it was no longer on my computer because of download failures I guess. So I’ve restarted my computer and all of my programs, then I tried downloading the episode from this site and Itunes and my normal zune marketplace, none of which will work and keep failing or giving me error messages. Is there a problem on your end with the downloading sites right now?? Plus that really sux I was looking forward to working and listening to another cast. Keep up the good work at any rate.

Son of a Darrell Eugene

vigilantenumber9,

So I find it funny that people expect posters on this thread to take them seriously that they are so upset and hateful towards Kevin and his fans. We are very sad individuals because we have admiration and respect for someone who entertains us, and then actually sends some respect back to us as well. The fact that you take the time to get online and post on this thread says to me that you in fact are the sad individual who wants to be heard and thrives for attention, negative or otherwise. So you come on here to throw stones at anyone who will give a you an ear to listen to your tripe. We will continue to listen to smodcasts, buy merch, and tickets to the films, and you will continue to do it as well just so you can come on here and piss and moan. I feel bad for even posting this comment because you will now believe that people actually listen or care about what you think. So I’ll leave you with this, use your wit you have about you since your so much better then everyone else and actually make your own film so we can see how great you are instead of spending all your time killing our day and kevin’s day with your nonsensical attitude. Oh and Arngrim, you know you did more then you say you did buddy. There is a reason why there is a “terms of agreement” when you sign up for the VA thread board. Not because the “yes men” will get you, but because that board should be for fans who would like to discuss a multitude of things intelligently and entertainingly for fun and not fear of threats and hateful comments. Your reasoning that you did nothing wrong and that Kevin has some sort of entourage mafia of “yes-men” is ridiculous and ignorant.

Bryce,
Two things you should think about before you go off on your rant.
1> These other people you mention in your comment that do podcast and put a lot of time into the presentation each week. Most of these people are probably unestablished and find the podcast to be a way of getting there entertainment out there to a larger audience. If they are established they may be doing it anyway and are just choosing to broadcast it by podcast and condensing the normal presentation, or they are news value casts which are scripted to a point.
2> When you make a comment like that you sound like an asshole. You sound like you DESERVE to be entertained by Kevin for free. Its free its his cast and he can do with what he feels, he wanted to share some time with his kid, now I know your disappointed but you gotta at least respect the guy for including his kid right. It was cute and entertaining for having an eight year old involved. Not too mention the moment this feels like a job to kevin or scott the smodcast will cease to exist so i say bravo do what you can do. So the next time you feel like ranting, think about how much of an ass you’ll sound like. Although you sound like you are a true fan and this was not meant in a harsh manner just to make you think like you wanted us all to think about your comment. So keep this in mind and for sure “You will not be the one who is the asshole!”
Cheers!

A great smodcast for smodder’s day.
My only complaint: not enough dick and fart jokes.
And I missed Kevin’s usual 10-15 vivid descriptions of the last time he took a shit.
June 22, 2008

I am a huge fan of SModcast and have listened to and enjoyed every single one of them. I was a huge fan of any commentary track that Kevin lends his voice to. I bought Donnie Darko based solely on the fact that Kevin did commentary.

This one was no exception, it was quite enjoyable for the most part. I didn’t mind Harley doing the entire thing so much, but the audio was unbalanced. Harley’s voice level was much louder than Kevin’s and got shrill at times. Other than that minor gripe, it was a great SModcast, hope to hear a new one later today.
June 22, 2008

I guess this is the Podcast Jen asked for in what was it… 21? The Schwalcast? The one that not necessarily would have to be made into a SModcast but Kevin should definitely do for Harley to have when she’s grown up and Kev maybe would be gone (can hardly imagine that, hopefully he’ll threefold his 37th).

So since this one was to be expected and therefor canon I still also have to express that it’s not really my cup o’ tea.

It’s like watching a happy couple. It gives me this “me too!” feeling after a certain amount of time and I hate to get jealous. I already have co-workers who have so effing cute kids I could punch them just for being so lucky and I am not.

Maybe you should look behind all the fat comic book guys saying “worst episode ever” here and maybe guess why they say it. Of course it is out of disappointment, for a lot of reasons.

This Podcast was like a fat guy buying a bunch of candy bars and up on unwrapping them finding carrot sticks. It’s all healthy and good and shit but still it leaves you with the fix you sought.

Bryan, since you’re somewhat obsessive compulsive in terms of the DACHSHUND I gotta assume you’re German, so forgive me if I’m wrong, but — who gives a shit about the correct proper german pronounciation? I’m Austrian and I don’t, so why exactly do you think people from non-german-speaking countries would? I bet you mispronounce the shit out of most Italian (or maybe Chinese) dishes, and I’m pretty sure that since you’re German, your English is probably lousy as hell as well, so get over it. You’re probably one of those who won’t watch Die Hard because of the phony Germans in it, aren’t you? 😉

Sorry, aber ich find’s einfach nur extrem peinlich wenn sich Deutsche Ã¼ber so einen unwichtigen Scheiss brÃ¼skieren. Lederhosen, Massbier, bayrische Blasmusik, Nazi-Witze … let the Americans have it, they need their stereotypes and clichÃ©s, just like we, as Europeans, need to be able to have ours. In fact, let’s have a shot at this – Americans are undereducated, gun-totin’, fat, stupid, analphabetical imperialists who believe that the world was created 4000 years ago by an invisible surveillance camera somewhere up in the sky and that therefor we must have co-existed with the Dinosaurs, maybe even rode them, hence “The Flintstones”. See? Important to understand how the world works, man!

June 22, 2008

Sebastian

It’s so nice to see so many people unable to distinguish constructive criticism from “bitching”.

Kevin isn’t the pope and this is no religion. This isn’t bitching, it’s telling it like it is. We didn’t really love this episode of an otherwise great Podcast. Hell I came here three weeks ago for the first time, got all the episodes and am now in the process of listening to them for the third time. It’s been absolute bliss. So what now? Is that kissing ass?

I mean Kevin is considered to be the most approachable Hollywood director of them all and you expect his peers to just stand there in awe and taketh what cometh as the body of christ or what?

Nobody said this episode was bad. Even bryce didn’t want to do that and I guess he just expressed his “god I have six kids of my own I want to listen to something that I can enjoy and usually that’s the Smodcast”-attitude in not too kind of a set of words and as soon as you say that you get bombarded with “it’s free shut up” replies.

This is the comment section for this episode. Where when not here should we leave or opinions about this?

If we only were to leave positive feedback it would say so somewhere don’t you think?

So why don’t all those people who think you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth write a greeting card and send it to Kevin. I guess that’s what you think is what he wants. I honestly don’t think he wants to read bitching about people who “bitch” either.

Again I am also always happy for my friends who are totally in love and shit and it’s all so cute and everything but you know how it is… all those folks who have kids: congrats. I don’t. I’m alone, I tend to eat when I am feeling blue and I currently have neither a girlfriend nor a daughter and guess what: I think there’s a not so small portion of listeners to this podcast who share this situation and it’s especially nerve-wrecking when somebody who “has it all” (and I DON’T mean Kevin) to tell you to STFU and “enjoy” because, you know, we DIDN’T and we gave REASONS. And we don’t even have any demands. Well maybe we do like “bring back Mosier” but that’s hardly a demand when you look at what this thing is named after. And Smodderday is only once a year and nobody said that we “the critics” don’t think it’s ok to have one of these once a year.

Seesh.

In SModcast 47 (I’m late on jumping on to this and am trying to listen to all of them as fast as I can) you mention your fascination with plumbing and say that if you pour a bucket of water into the toilet it just fills up. My suggestion is to try that… Like you’ll really try it… Point is: The toilet will, in fact, flush.
June 22, 2008

blahblah

Sebastian,

The problem with comments sections on websites is that it seems to suggest to so many people that their comments and opinions are important to anyone besides the person posting.

I think what the “it’s free” people are really trying to say is, “This podcast is produced every week for no charge and without any advertising whatsoever. When you pay to see a movie or sit through 8 minutes of commercials during a 30 minute episode of TV, your opinion and criticism becomes somewhat valid due to the fact that you’ve invested either ticket fare or assumed patronage of the advertisers businesses. This podcast, however, is presented to you without asking you to invest anything at all. Therefore, your criticism means exactly nothing. If you don’t like it, go listen to one of the other podcasts that are created by busy filmmakers out of their workout rooms every week.”

Also, there’s probably a very real concern that if all these anonymous bitchers bitch loud enough, Kevin and Scott will decide it’s not worth all the hassle and give it up for good. And those of us that are appreciative of the almost weekly entertainment will be out of luck because a group of “my opinion is oh so important” naysayers ruined it for everyone else.

I guess my point it, if you don’t like it, shut up and wait 7 days until the next go round. Just because a comment section exists doesn’t mean anyone cares about your opinion. And that includes mine.
June 22, 2008

Blahblah

Also, in the interest of leaving a comment that no one cares about, I’m a single father of a soon-to-be 6 year-old girl. This podcast definitely made me think more carefully about how I interact with my daughter.

Over the past weekend, my daughter and I went swimming twice, grocery shopping, and spent a couple hours at the local laundromat. In typical 5-year old fashion, she didn’t stop speaking for more than 30 seconds at a time. Thanks to Kevin and Harley, I enjoyed this weekend more than most. So, thank you to Kevin and his adorable kid for helping a guy in Minnesota remember what’s so beautiful about that type of relationship.

And to Harley, way to go kid. Let us know when your band makes it big and I’ll be sure to add your first single to my next mix-tape.

Also, a word of warning to all the other parents out there… This morning, my daughter asked me about the constitution and I did my best to explain it to her. Unfortunately, I learned that explaining our first amendment right to free speech to a five year-old means that you’ll probably be called “doo-doo head” for the rest of the day. Needless to say, I skipped the right to bear arms thing in the interest of my own safety.

I really didnt here this week anyone actually talk about the bodies exhibit that Kev and Harley went to that exhibit really is a violation of human rights first most the bodies come from China were they dont even get the choose of what was done with there bodies after they died, the families didnt even get the option to bury their loved ones. Imagine if that was your wife or husband, child, or parent. The exhibit is constantly protested. The ways those bodies were treated in life and death far out weigh the benefits of the knowledge gained.
