Silent Bob Speaks

I love Kevin Smith's movies, but my favorite Smith material is, hands down, his An Evening with Kevin Smith DVDs (get volumes 1 and 2 here). In those, Smith jumps onstage and conducts Q&A sessions with the audience, usually with hilarious results. That's why, when I heard about his podcasts, I typed the website address as fast as I could, and proceeded to download those assuredly gemmies. The podcast's name is SModcast, and in them Smith is joined by his long time friend and producer Scott Mosier. It is, like they say, the radio show they never had (that nobody let them have). Each episode is usually 52 minutes long and extremely funny. Mosier and Smith just talk about different things, be it some piece of news or some memories from high school, but it all usually leads them to sex and other great topics, such as sex, or… sex. The thing is, their conversations are fun to listen to and absolutely uncensored, so if you're easily offended, don't bother with SModcast. (Then again, if you're easily offended, you're probably not my friend and are, therefore, not reading this.) So if you just want to laugh wildly and be supremely entertained, go to iTunes or to this site, and download away. And if you don't like it, it's not as if you wasted your money, because SModcast is totally free. It's not too often you find great entertainment for zero bucks, so I suggest you take advantage of the offer.

Todavía recuerdo las risas que nos echamos viendo al bueno de Kevin Smith hablando sobre las locuras de Prince y también sobre la nueva peli de Superman que quería hacer un productor chiflado. Con arañas gigantes, jejeje. Muy bueno este Kevin Smith. Hubiera triunfado sin dudas con un programa de radio, ya te digo!

Hehehe, sí. Los DVDs de An Evening with Kevin Smith son estupendos. Los podcasts de SModcast no son tan graciosos porque -creo- SModcast consiste en Smith y su colega Mosier hablando de cosas suyas. Muchas veces (la mayor parte del tiempo) sabes de qué hablan y sus referencias son referencias que tú también tienes. Sin embargo, es distinto porque SModcast son dos amigos hablando, mientras que los DVDs nos presentan a Kevin SMith haciendo de showman, contestando preguntas de la audiencia. Como ya he dicho, son muy divertidos, pero creo que los DVDs son superiores. Y de todas formas, SModcast es gratis, así que no pierdes nada escuchándolo. De momento, yo he oído los ocho primeros, y creo que los números 6 y 8 son mis favoritos. Aun así, ninguno tiene desperdicio, eso seguro.
