Favorite SModcasts

Halagan expressed interest in starting to listen to SModcast, but he found the task daunting because of the number of episodes already out. I suggested I could give him a list of my favorite installments and that he could start by listening to those, and he thought that was a great idea. (And of course it was.) So, I gave it some thought, and I came up with the following Top Ten SMods (plus an extra 11 great episodes). Before I give you the names though, keep in mind that SModcast is best friends Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier talking about stuff, but sometimes, for different reasons, Scott Mosier can't record the show and we get one or two guest hosts to cover for him. I love Scott Mosier, but some of my favorite episodes are the ones with Walt Flanagan, another one of Smith's best friends. That said, let's get this party started:

Top Ten SMods
1. SModcast 14: On Guard For Thee
Along with #13, this is probably my favorite SMod ever. Malcolm Ingram joins Kevin and Walter Flanagan for several of the funniest things you've ever heard. I don't want to oversell this episode, but it is pure genius from beginning to end.

2. SModcast 13: SFodcast (or SWodcast)
This one is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Walt Flanagan guest-hosts for the first time, and the flea market story is one for the ages. I don't know how many times I've listened to this one, and it cracks me up every time I play it.

3. SModcast 15: The Pretty-Good Worker
Kev and Scott discuss Helen Keller in one of the funniest episodes SModcast has ever seen. You really need to listen to this one.

4. SModcast 56: And Now a Word from Our Sponsor
How far would you go for a Make-a-Wish kid? How would road rage blind you? This is one of my favorite episodes ever!

5. SModcast 52: The (c)Rapture
Kev and Mos plot a movie I would definitely want to see. The whole thing is so absurd and bizarre it will make you laugh until you cry.

6. SModcast 28: Scottacita Wants a Carnita!
Kev and Mos discuss bizarre experiments. Laughter ensues.

7. SModcast 34: Jersey Justice League
Walt Flanagan and Bryan Johnson guest-host and talk with Kevin about the Tooth Fairy and being kicked out of parties for being too charismatic. I love this episode, I really do.

8. SModcast 43: SMorpheus
Kev and Mos dissect The Matrix and try to make sense out of it. Plus, we find out how the movie would have turned out if they had made it.

9. SModcast 57: Terrorist Pizza
It's the righteously indignant Canadian! 'Nuff said.

10. SModcast 37: In A Row?
Kev and Mos talk about the body snatchers and how creepy baristas can be. Priceless!

The Eleven Runner-ups
1. SModcast 40: Ned Smitty
Or how Kev could have been cast in an imaginary porn movie.

2. SModcast 58: Kodachrome
Kevin and Scott wonder who doesn't take naked pictures of their girlfriends.

3. SModcast 24: Rigg-er, Please!
Walt is back to talk about the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon movies, back when Bruce Willis had hair and Mel Gibson was a hot commodity instead of a laughingstock.

4. SModcast 49: Attack of the Banantulas
Creepy spiders and plenty of everything else.

5. SModcast 84: OUTBREAK!
Kevin talks with Bryan Johnson about having an affair with your girlfriend's mother.

6. SModcast 90: Forgeticus!
The best spell Harry Potter never knew.

7. SModcast 70: SMod Bless Us, Everyone!
A Christmas special in true SMod fashion. Definitely worth listening!

8. SModcast 42: SMerry Christmas
Another Christmas Special that will keep you laughing for a long time.

9. SModcast 10: Eating a Chicken’s Soul
Kevin and Scott talk about how humiliating it would be to be eaten by a shark.

10. SModcast 8: The Entirely Too Over-Long Episode
Kevin and Scott talk about directing the pilot episode of Reaper, the now-defunct TV show.

11. SModcast 7: An Icelander Showing You Your Own Beating Heart
Kevin reminisces about not having any freedom when he was a teenager.

There you go. I hope this gets you started, and that you enjoy your time with Kevin and Scott. And if you do, there are over seventy more episodes where these came from!
