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 73.5: SMod-Half –

In which new ground is temporarily broken at the expense of sound quality.

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

Kurt Russell is totally a movie star. The stories by Malcolm, at the end, prove his judgement is questionable, at best. Plissken Rules!!

Thanks for the double SMod Kevin. Makes up for the fact that it took me 4 hours to DL #72…

Good looking out on the bonus SMod, sirs. So awesome!

Malcomn laughs just like Hugh Hefner . . . I guess that’s not surprising though.

Yah, Dreamer is a cool (tear-jerker) flick.

Thanks for the extra Smod, guys, but have you considered the program “Skype” for long-distance Smodding?

I was recently invited to participate in a podcast out of Chicago (I’m on the west coast), and when I asked about the issue of distance, “Skype” was my one-word answer.

I don’t have first-hand experience, but as I understand it, it’s a fairly simple process that yields rather high-quality results (pending the quality of the microphones plugged into the computers).

That dude is on crack! Kurt Russel is totally a movie star, the Carpenter movies alone make him a huge star.

By the way, Kurt Russell has been acting since the mid-50’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been working since before Orlando Bloom’s PARENTS were born.

Nice try Malcom … now you’ll have to give up that other pinky!

Mr. Graves

Lets give it up for Malcolm, doing the best impression of Gordo the righteously indignant canadian ever in his hatred for Kurt.

How f’d up is it that a stupid Kevin James flick filled with “fat guy falling down” scenes grabs over 30 mil on a weekend, and Z&M didn’t hit that big. Smith’s stuff is far more original, the masses have just become so dumbed down. Case in point, all the shitty tv based on half ass idiots dancing and yodeling and sitting in desks with 5th graders. Thanks for all the original stuff KS.

He said video SMod in the future, open your ears Arnie.

Kurt Russell is more of a movie star than Val Kilmer, who is absolutely not a movie star. Goldie Hawn is not a movie star. Orlando Bloom is not a movie star.

.5 thats so cool wont get any work done today thanks K and S you guys are awsome.

John

My god that is even dumber than the Canadian prime minister fiasco.

He clearly said Kurt wasn’t a movie star without thinking about it, and is now defending it to the bitter end, against all rhyme and reason.

Kevin, learn to recognise the signs… You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. Let it go.

they sound like they’re both stoned lol but yeah nice two smods

“You are such a fucking obnoxious loser.” Awesome.

Ok. I love that these two are both blasted, yet they’re miles away from eachother.

The quality isn’t terrible, though it could use some tweaking. I really enjoyed this smod, Malcolm is always funny. You should record all your chats and post them up, assuming they’re not private.
January 20, 2009

Carlos

Kev,

first time im posting here, but hope this helps for the future podcasts, Skype has a nice quality audio and video so maybe I think that you could use that…
I hope im correct cuz if im championing skype and its worst Ill feel like an ass
lol.

anyways, thanks for the smodcasts! they rock!

to all those knocking malcom: you guys are fools! that man is hilarious! and he does make a pretty good point about ‘backdraft’. show him some respect.

ive heard podcast where the hosts were in different countries using skype and it sounded good
January 20, 2009

kenneth hall

Kevin love the podcast but you have to call out Malcolm on the next show. Kurt Russell has a career box office of $1,054,491,609 according to box office mojo, Val Kilmer’s at $936,136,745 and they don’t even bother listing Goldie Hawn. So if anyone of them is a movie star it’s definitely Kurt.
January 20, 2009

Jason

Malcolm is hilarious, whether you agree with him or not. Still funny as hell.

Here is another point for you Malcolm:

Executive Decision Kurt shared title billing with a guy that dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
January 20, 2009

Weirdsmobile

Damn! This SModucopia officially exempts you guys from any future bitching about the length of time between SMods!
January 20, 2009

Cucumber Jones

Malcom did make a good point about Backdraft, I was actually amazed. I find Malcom constantly annoying and obnoxious and I deleted this SMod from my HD as soon as I listened to it.

kurt russell not a movie star? malcolm should lose more than a pinky for that statement. still, bloody hilarious. malcolm should have his own tv show. i’d tune in. or, even his own podcast. that wood be awesome!
January 20, 2009

Ian

Fact: Kurt Russel’s movies have grossed more than:
Al Pacino
Gwyneth Paltrow
Kevin Bacon
Michael Douglas
Robert Downey Jr.
and many, many more. Dude’s a fuckin movie star.
January 20, 2009

Jay Schizoid

That episode rocked.
Malcolm is awesome you should have him more on Smodcast
He’s a HEEEEEEATSEAKER
And he’s right
FUCK Kurt Russell, he’s a l0s3r. All his movies are lame
I would never go to war with Kurt Russell as my leader, he’s like Nicolas Cage, an aging nobody just drifting through bad movies. Yech
He did kind of ruin Death Proof but the great part was watching those chicks beat his Kurt Russell ass down into the pavemnent. KABOPOW!
January 20, 2009

Alan in Wis

yeah… Fuck Malcom… and Ned down the street!

I don’t know if Kurt Russel is a movie star, but I know he’s more of a movie star than Malcom is a director…

And fucking 10 guys in 6 days? Jesus H… I hope he’s using protection…

Great Smod. I’m a huge Stargate fan, and though I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Kurt Russell, I liked 3000 Miles to Graceland, Executive Decision and Grindhouse as well.

That said, I agree with Malcom. He’s not a movie star. He doesn’t sell pics.
January 21, 2009

Scott

Never argue with an idiot. He’ll drag you down to his level then beat you with experience. Kurt has always been movie star to me. When Big Trouble In Little China came out, I grew a mullet to emulate him….In my defense I was 8, but it was still a sweet mullet.

you shouldnt have no idea why you wasted your time melcom is a horriable guess

Kurt Russell is a movie star

Goldie Hon isnt she blow her way to the top like her daughter

Friends don’t let friends use Skype!! I listen to a lot of podcasts and several of them use Skype regualarly. Crappy audio quality. Delays. Constant dropped calls. Please don’t do it. I would rather wait for the guys to come in “studio”.

Kurt Russell is a movie star ,this was the dumbest argument ever

The Thing FFS !!!!
January 22, 2009

Shrinky Jon

Dumb argument, but I could see Malcolm’s point. And what is SMODCAST with Malcolm if it is not dumb arguments?
Will Smith, Cruise, Hanks, Clooney, Pitt etc. Actors who can open a film based on their marquee are movie stars! (AKA A Listers). I do like a lot of film Russell is in, but maketh a movie star does not.

On sound quality, don’t care as we have the conversational quality as max! Maybe gifting Malcolm his own podcast equipment and a double recording can be merged during music layering to increase quality? The only danger here is that the masses will demand Smodcast regardless of where Mosier goes on his Hols.

Please make just one more J&B movie. I think strike back was your funniest movie.

Jus’ Wonderin’. What happened to the sponsor?

Regarding the audio quality of online chat-sessions, here’s what I’d do (and what a lot of people are doing):

Buy a cable that connects the line-out of your computer to that recording device you usually use. Use your regular Postcasting-Mic on Channel 1, record the computers output on Channel 2, and you’ve cleaned up half of the conversation.

Alternatively if you’re really serious about audio quality you could do a “regular” recording on both sides, encode it to AAC 128 (which is sufficient) and send both files to the guy who does post to sync em. http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower is free and can be setup to record just the mic of the guy in front of the computer (instead of recording the entire Skype or iChat session). It’s not that difficult to do.

To the guy who does the post: Whatever DAW or sound editor you use, be sure to use a plugin chain like this: DeEsser, Compressor (4:1 Ratio, Threshold depending on the levels, but I’d guess around -12 to -15 dBs, Attack 50-80ms, Release 300-400ms) and either a mastering limiter or normalizer to get the level up to around -3 db.
