Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
Kevin Smith saysJay and Silent Bob Rebootis like hisAvengers : Endgame . More than twenty - fives years after his steer debut on 1994’sClerks , Smith has evolved into a fan - best-loved filmmaker and staple fiber of the online eccentric person community . Onscreen , he ’s synonymous with hisClerkscharacter Silent Bob , a generally mum buster ( he ’s gotten much chattier over the years ) who lives with his foul - mouthed heterosexual life mate Jay ( Jason Mewes ) . Together , the twain have appeared in all seven live - action films inSmith ’s View Askewniverse franchiseto particular date , include last year’sJay and Silent Bob Reboot .
In nastiness of its title , Jay and Silent Bob Rebootis actually a legacy sequel in the vein ofStar Wars : The Force AwakensandTerminator : Dark Fate . The movie survey the eponymous duad as they move around to Los Angeles to halt a film reboot of Bluntman and Chronic ( the comic book superhero property model after them ) from being make out and regain their sound assignment right . But if anyone ’s considering hopping aboard the View Askewniverse string at this point , they may need to reconsider .

As part of aFacebook LiveQ&A ( which he dub the " Jay and Silent Bob # Quarantinentary track " ) , Smith talked aboutJay and Silent Bob Reboot ’s connection to the late films in the enfranchisement . In doing so , he explicate how the movie is to the View Askewniverse whatEndgameis to the MCU :
Adam Golberg [ creator of The Goldbergs ] … when he watched it , he was like " This is like your [ retaliator : Endgame ] . " Like , we brought everybody from the bench out and stuff . Yeah , kinda like Endgame . If you just sat down and watched Endgame for the first metre and never watched a Marvel movie before ( possibly one ) , you might be like " What the f**k is going on ? " Same affair with Jay and Silent Bob Reboot . If you ’ve never seen … any of the stuff I ’ve made , some of the caper might be lost on you .
It ’s a fair comparability and one manyreviews forJay and Silent Bob Rebootmade last year , when it started its traveling roadshow . The film is full of callbacks to not onlyClerks , but also Smith ’s moviesMallrats , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , andClerks II . It ’s every bit full of actor who appeared in those flick ( include , A - listers like Ben Affleck and Rosario Dawson ) , as well as View Askewniverse fledgling likeSupergirlTV show maven Melissa Benoist . Eventhe merchandising forJay and Silent Rebootdirectly referencedEndgame ’s posters , as a way of driving home the similarity between them while also pound fun at the monumental MCU crossover .
For the same cause , a draw ofJay and Silent Bob Reboot(from its reference and cameo to its in - jokes about Smith ) will go over your head unless you ’re up on the View Askewniverse as a whole , much likeEndgameand the MCU . as luck would have it , for those who ’re concerned in streaming the plastic film at home while they ’re ego - quarantining because of the coronavirus pandemic , the immense bulk of Smith ’s premature picture show are uncommitted to stream right away . The only exception isDogma , which is owned by the Weinstein Brothers and unavailable in the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein sexual wrongdoing article of faith . Otherwise , if you need to catch up before givingJay and Silent Bob Reboota go , you should have the way to do so .
