A Severe Drop in Quality

“I’ve been a fan of SModcast for a long time, but ever since Scot Mosier has ostensibly left the show and the archive has been put behind a ridiculously priced paywall, it feels a thankless task to be a fan anymore. While sometimes the guests are funny or interesting, usually the people who Kevin grew up with or his family, the random celebrities are pretty boring. The heart of the show was Kevin and Scott, their dynamic kept it funny, light, and interesting. These random guests either have it or they don’t, and the episodes are too far between for them to not all be hits. If the uploading schedule was regular, then I wouldn’t complain, but since there are so few, when an episode is boring or lackluster it really is annoying.
I understand podcasting is not as cheap as people think it is, especially if Kevin is employing people, and it does take a lot of time. However, putting all the old episodes behind a paywall on sticher and now the ThatKevinSmithClub just sticks it in to your diehard fans. No one has given him enough money over the years, he needs my five bucks a month as well for episodes that he already published for free.
That’s what bothers me the most, it’s not that the show has changed, it’s how it’s changed. If Kevin Smith started a new podcast and started charging for those episodes, or if he were releasing these new episodes behind a paywall I’d at least understand it. The fact that he’s taking episodes that were initially free and released as free and now making them cost money feels cheap and low. It’s an alteration of the understanding we as fans had with him.”

“I feel as if I sold my soul, and it paid off. I have been waiting for a Kevin Smith podcast for quite some time. Smith and Mos touch on everything from "Pump Up the Volume" (A cinematic classic) to Kevin celebrating on his girlfriend while she was getting ready to go out. The fact is,...”Read full review »

“New to the podcast world, I subscribed to like 15 different podcasts in one sitting.One of them was how to order lattes in Spanish while maintaining a proper Irish brogue. Another one was a very relaxed woman running an invisible Yoga class, that apparently only she can see. Comparatively, this...”Read full review »
