It's the start of a new year and that means the beginning of the brand new trilogy! This month, Tyrie and Matt dive into the first three films of the self-made, foul-mouthed, American auteur, Kevin Smith - all of which take place in Kevin's beloved home state of New Jersey. In this episode, Tripod makes a pit-stop at the Quick-Stop to discuss Clerks - Smith's debut, cult-classic film which projected his own monotonous, everyday reality as a convenience-store worker onto the big screen, and saw every dorm-room in America plastered with it's now famous black and white poster. The boys discuss the incredible effort and economy that went into making Clerks, the value of cultural context when viewing films of a different time, and what it feels like to love a filmmaker while not entirely loving their films. Also Tyrie is capital T - TIRED.
