Kevin Smith — Writer/Director of JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT

Guest: Kevin Smith is an American writer/director and actor. His first movie, Clerks (1994), was filmed in the convenience store where Smith worked and he was only allowed to shoot at night after the store closed. This movie won the highest award at the Sundance film festival and was brought to theaters by Miramax. He went on to make numerous films including Chasing Amy (1997), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), and Jersey Girl (2004). He returns with Jay and Silent Bob Reboot which I'm happy to report is hilarious. It’s an unconventional father/daughter love story that even has some tender, emotional moments. Kevin talks about of the origins of the characters jay and silent bob, working with his daughter and even shares how his heart attack last year empowered his career.  Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will be playing on Oct. 15 & Oct. 17 in 600 theaters around the country.
