Valerie is back, which means we all had to watch Kevin talk about his dick on stage for four hours, and you get to hear all about it! I'm screaming on the inside.

They say if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. But can you teach a woman... to love?

In order to gain a complete understanding of Mr. Smith's failings as a filmmaker, we occasionally need to venture outside of his oeuvre and analyze the work of a true cinematic genius. I'm speaking of course of the great Canadian auteur, Tom Green. In Green's sublime debut FREDDY GOT FINGERED, he displays a supreme mastery of the raunchy comedy genre that places the flaws of our namesake in sharp relief. A truly original voice with a bold creative vision and unparalleled performance skills....

Listeners beware! This podcast is not for the faint of heart! Horror aficionado Leslie Lee III is back for a bone-chilling new Halloween episode of We Need to Talk About Kevin! We're talking HOLIDAYS, a horror anthology film you've probably never heard of, notable for including a frightfully awful contribution from the spookmaster himself, Kevin Smith. Plus, on a terrifying new Kevin's Receipts, we explore some truly hair-raising tales from Kevin's sordid past. Tune in... if you dare!! And...

It's "Rose Week" on We Need to Talk About Kevin, and we're mixing it up with a special Rose-hosted episode inspired by some recent bad tweets by our esteemed colleague, the Movie Bob. He posted some very stupid takes about the Amazon Prime Original Series THE BOYS and we are here to offer the correct ones. Also: we talk about some other stuff too!

Well folks, apparently AMC aired a reality show all about Kevin's boring friends running Kevin's vanity comic shop, and it's every bit as dull as it is fake. Inexplicably, it ran for seven seasons. Seven seasons of this garbage! For this week's episode, we watched as much as we could stomach of COMIC BOOK MEN.

Well, folks, we really blew it. We've been lucky enough to have future legendary filmmaker Vera Drew (Beef House, The People's Joker) on the show twice so far in season 2, and both times we bungled the recording! So rather than let all that time and effort go to waste, we cobbled together this supercut of all the best bits we were able to salvage from each of these failed episodes. First we discuss VULGAR, a truly disgusting, abhorrent work of filth from Kevin's friend Bryan Johnson, and then...

Inevitably and regrettably, we expand our scope beyond Kevin Smith the filmmaker and into the equally upsetting world of Kevin Smith the comic book writer. Niel Jacoby, host of Spall Talk and Mature Listeners, helps us unpack the painful experience of reading Kevin's two consecutive Batman series, Cacophony and The Widening Gyre.

Our good friend Valerie is back again, to suffer through another excruciatingly long Kevin Q&A session with us. AN EVENING WITH KEVIN SMITH is almost four hours long and absolutely packed with rambling stories that go nowhere. This one is so long that even the audience of adoring Kevin fans becomes visibly bored by the end. We f*****g hated this shit, but we do it all for you, folks!

For the first time in the history of the podcast, Rose, Trev, and [Edward] talk about a movie that Kevin Smith had absolutely nothing to do with. Don't worry, we'll be back next week with more god-awful Kevin material. But BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC is just too important for us not to talk about, and it provides a perfect counterexample to pretty much every s****y thing Kevin has ever done.

Writer/photographer/erstwhile podcaster Abdul Y. Malik joins the Kevin crew to analyze the utterly pointless MAGNUM DOPUS: THE MAKING OF JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT. Were you dying to learn the inside story of how and why Kevin Smith's latest film was made? Of course not. Nobody was. But Kevin is addicted to talking to a camera, so here's a whole documentary about it.

Our good friend Kurt Schiller makes a return appearance for a very special episode in which we discuss something that we actually liked and only sort of involves Kevin. SOUTHLAND TALES is an incredibly weird, audacious, operatic mess of a movie that we all fell in love with and had a great time talking about. It also features a brief appearance by filmmaker Kevin Smith. Check out Kurt's awesome new online magazine BLOOD KNIFE at http://bloodknife.com And become a patron at...

We're back! On the probing and incisive season premiere of We Need to Talk About Kevin, we dig into Kevin Smith's heroic origin story and learn the names of all the individual creeps responsible for giving him a career. Yes, apparently there is a feature-length documentary about the making of CLERKS and we watched it on purpose.

Wow! It's a very special season finale of We Need to Talk About Kevin featuring none other than Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House! It's been a long, regrettable journey, but we've finally reached our destination. We watched Kevin Smith's most recent (and hopefully last ever) movie, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT, and our esteemed guest is here to help us decide whether it's the best or worst movie of his miserable career. Thanks for listening, everybody! We're taking a hiatus for the sake of...

Hey, it's your two favorite guys, Jay and the other one, together again in extremely s****y, ugly animated form. This is the kind of garbage that only truly committed Kevin Smith scholars would even dare to watch. That's right, it's JAY & SILENT BOB'S SUPER GROOVY CARTOON MOVIE!

Well, folks, this one is dark. The time for fun and games is over. We've crossed the threshold into the land of shadows and there's no turning back. What was once a puzzled fascination has curdled into a grim and mournful task. There is no catharsis here, only damnation. YOGA HOSERS is a deeply cursed film.

Our buddy Kevin made a guest appearance on The Simpsons, so we felt obligated to watch it and talk about it. Turns out Kev was only on it for like a second, but that's fine. It was a very funny and cool episode about weed and we all enjoyed it a lot. Check it out if you love weed!

The world's leading Kevin Smith scholar, Valerie, returns to WNTTAK to help us break down an excruciating piece of performance art called KEVIN SMITH: TOO FAT FOR 40. It's basically just Kevin on a stage talking about taking a shit for OVER THREE HOURS. And if that's not enough, Valerie also brought along some juicy excerpts from Kevin's obnoxiously-titled memoir "Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good."

Bryan Quinby aka MurderBryan, host of Street Fight Radio, joins us to talk about COP OUT, Kevin Smith's lackluster contribution to the buddy cop genre. Folks, we hated this movie almost as much as Bruce Willis hated starring in it. Tune in for the sordid details of Kevin's on-set feud with his leading man, and stick around to hear his epic clapback against the nasty movie critics.

Your old pals Dante and Randall are back on the big screen in the long-awaited sequel to the movie that started it all. That's right, folks, we watched CLERKS II, and we all hated it! Trev thought that Rose and Ted were going to like this one, but he was dead wrong! We're beginning to suspect that Kevin Smith might be a huge idiot who sucks at making movies.
