At the dawn of the new millennium, no figure stood higher for nerds than Kevin Smith. Fresh off of his last major motion picture and right before his first attempt at closing the book on the View Askew-niverse, Smith fraternized with mass-market television with an animated interpretation of his silver screen debut. Like many of the shows from the early '00s prime-time cartoon boom, Clerks crashed hard, but the few episodes it produced remain dear in the hearts of anyone who grew up cutting their teeth on Kevin Smith's Gen-X surliness. This week, Cartoons 101's Matthew Jay joins us to explore one of the two episodes to air on ABC in the fabled year of 2000.

I watched plenty of Kevin Smith in my younger days (right up until Red State, which was a fine one time watch but Tusk just seemed to weird for me) and hearing the clips from this cartoon made me want to circle back around and watch this because I missed it in when it aired originally. On a side note, I thought it was funny/tragic how you were talking about Bryan Cranston being on "Malcom in the Middle" and how nobody remembers he was on that show. One person who doesn't remember that fact is Frankie Muniz. He was really into racing at one point which lead to a series of head injuries that it is believed to have cause him to have a transient ischemic attack. As a result of this fact, the eponymous Malcom doesn't even remember being on that show. It has fallen into the same place as "Scrubs" as a show that I remember being pretty solid whenever I would catch it channel surfing, but if you talk to someone under 30, they have about an equal chance of remembering it or "The Honeymooners" which is just another thing that helps me feel old.

This was a BLAST! I was a huge Kevin Smith mark in the 90s and early 2000s, but being in the UK it was hard to get good access to the Clerks Animated Series. I had to wait until I could buy the DVD and watch that - which I did over and over again. It was so funny hearing Brian O'Halleren's recordings compared to everyone else - never noticed that you can hear the walls! My personal favourite episode is the clip show, or the Temple of Doom/Last Starfighter parody. Great stuff as always, chaps!
