Movie Review: Jay and Silent Bob Get Irish (2013)

Many know the story behind this show, but for those who don't, I'll give you a quick rundown. As Kevin Smith began the transformation from filmmaker to podcaster, his friend Jason Mewes was dealing with a relapse. As a way to keep Jay on the right path, Smith started a live podcast called Jay and Silent Bob Get Old. This made Jay accountable to an audience, as he announces his days sober at every show. Years later, the duo tours the globe performing live. I enjoyed the first DVD, Tea Bagging in the UK, and this was even better.

Movie Review: Jay and Silent Bob Get Old - Tea Bagging in the UK (2012)

Kevin Smith fans are already aware of his network of podcasts, but if you don't listen to Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, you don't know that it's more than an average show. After Jason Mewes, a recovering heroine addict, had a relapse with Vicodin, his wife asked Kevin Smith for help, and Mewes was sent to rehab. When he got out, he needed to be held accountable. Mewes tried podcasting before with Mewescast, but that didn't last. Smith had an idea. He would give Mewes an audience to share his life stories, and during every show, he'd have to share how many days he's been sober with the live audience. It worked, and it made for an interesting podcast.
