Flix 147: Clerks aka "He could be a great accountant‪"‬ Flix

Kevin Smith will always have a special place in my heart. I fell in love with his films as a teen, and my respect for him has endured to my adulthood.

But even for a Kevin Smith fan such as I, his more recent efforts have been… lackluster. So I thought it would be a good idea to relive the glory days by delving into his back catalog to wash away the taste of Yoga Hosers.

It starts, fittingly, at the beginning, with Clerks. It was made with very little money and even less studio interference, but it produced a film that put Smith on the map and had people raving about him as a paragon of the indie film scene. But is it any good?

To help me decide, I enlisted the help of a fine looking woman who makes great lasagne and doesn’t cheat on me, Tiffany B. Through our exploration of the film we chatted about the correct pronunciation of the title for English people, how the film is really just Shakespeare in a way, and how relieving it is when a teacher shows up in a school play.

There's a spoiler-free section, followed by a spoiler-filled, so if you've seen all of the films or none of the films, there's something for you to listen to!

Cheers!
