Age of The Nerd
Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are on the road once again. The two best friends have worked in movies and television shows for decades. Smith and Mewes, better known as their fictional stoner selves, Jay and Silent Bob, are the total opposite in real life.
For one thing, writer/director Kevin Smith, who portrays Silent Bob, is silent. When Smith is not behind the camera, he usually hosts one of his many podcasts or hits the road, telling stories and giving inspirational talks on filmmaking and following your dreams.
Jason Mewes, who has portrayed Jay the loudmouth Jay, is an accomplished actor, director, and father. His directorial debut movie Madness in the Method was good. I’m looking forward to seeing him behind the camera the next time. And if he ever needs any advice, he can ask one of his best friends.
Kevin Smith has always been an inspirational person to me. The first Smith movie I saw was not Clerks ( the debut of Jay and Silent Bob back in the early 90s) but Mallrats. I loved the dialogue in Mallrats so much that I had to check out all his movies, and I’m glad I did.
So, if you are around the first state this weekend and looking for a fun time, come check them out. You won’t be disappointed. You can get tickets here: https://tickets.thegrandwilmington.org/8667
