Kevin Smith Vulgarthon: A Review Of The Awesome 17-Hour Day
At Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, all 8 “Jersey” related movies from Kevin Smith were shown in a marathon. Let’s do a Kevin Smith Vulgarthon Review. I wanted to let you know about my experience and talk about what it was like this past Saturday.
I grew up being a big fan of Kevin Smith from Clerks all the way to Clerks III and everything in between. So, when Vulgarthon 2024 was announced, my best friend and I were like “We NEEED to go!”
What Is The Kevin Smith Vulgarthon?
What exactly was this day? It was a chance to relive all the awesomeness of the View Askewniverse.
These movies are Jersey-related, which makes it pretty cool. They tie back to characters from previous films and of course are very funny and vulgar with great conversations – Kevin Smith has a knack for writing good conversational scenes.
Now, this was a long day. It started at 9 am with Clerks being shown (they went in order). The last film, Clerks III began at midnight. If you made it through all 8 films you got a special coin to commemorate the event.
Plus, with your ticket purchase, you received a Kevin Smith signed poster of Vulgarthon. They had concessions because of course Smodcastle Cinemas is a real working movie theater.
There were also several spots on the same block to grab food for lunch or dinner. Plus, behind the theatre was a food truck parked for most of the day.
I have to say that while I love the humor in most of his films, after rewatching these movies, his two strongest features out of this universe are Chasing Amy and Dogma. They are both so well written, have some really cool shots, and are just plain different. Especially in terms of what we usually get from Hollywood.
What a fun day my friend and I had. If Kevin decides to do more of these I highly recommend you try and attend. Veen if you don’t make it through every movie. It’s still really fun.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, in between each movie Kevin Smith came into the theater to do a Q&A where you could ask him literally anything! He was candid, funny, and an open book like always.
Below is a picture of the coin we each received.
