 KEVIN SMITH: HIS FILMS AND FANS by David Gati is a photo-filled biography that celebrates the life, films, and fans of the director responsible for such indie cult classics as Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Movie-industry veteran David Gati has compiled and edited a humorous and insightful look at Smith’s nearly 30-year filmmaking journey. Through Smith’s own funny, honest, and uncensored stories—taken from podcasts, Q&As, and documentaries—readers get to know him as a person, the struggles he’s been through, and the people he’s worked with, as well as his process for writing, directing, casting, shooting, editing, and showing his films to the public. The book is arranged chronologically with each chapter exploring how an aspect of Kevin’s life is reflected in one of his 14 films. Not to be overlooked is Smith’s outsized fan base, who relate to the director’s down-to-earth persona and his geeky, sometimes juvenile, often-nostalgic regular-person

Today I’m joined by Sav Rodgers to discuss his documentary film Chasing Chasing Amy In ‘Chasing Chasing Amy’, filmmaker Sav Rodgers goes on a journey of self-discovery while making a documentary on the development and creation of Kevin Smith’s controversial LGBTQ+ film, Chasing Amy.

'Chasing Chasing Amy' is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 8

On this episode, the three of us have gathered to say WalrusYes to TUSK, about a man who has the simple dream of wanting to turn another man into a walrus. This inspires a look back at other mishaps in the history of man becoming more than human with 1986’s THE FLY and the 2009 film, SPLICE.  We also discuss Jeff Goldblum's hair and the exploding interest in podcasts about men's hair on film.  So before you race off and start the hashtag  WarmachinehorseYes, check out this episode. You may find our podcast just as terrifying.
