To celebrate the release of The 4:30 Movie, which is available to rent on digital platforms now, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the legendary Kevin Smith to find out more about it. As the film celebrates cinema and the cinemagoing experience, we chatted about some of the favourites of his youth.
Chatting to Smith, we talk about his early days with friends and former partners at the cinemas watching such classics as Poltergeist 2, Batman, Slacker, Raging Bull, The World According to Garp, Masters of the Universe and many more and how, in one way or another, they impacted his life and career now his tackled superheroes, the He-Man legend on his Netflix animated series, and mixing his unique brand of humour with the more moving and melancholic tales of life. We also chat about his future plans, his thoughts on the cinema experience the impact of streaming on the community feel of going to the movies, and what we think could help save it, in part, for the future.
Essentially, it’s Smith and our own Scott J. Davis talking about their – and our – love of movies and how they bind us across the world and his brilliant new film.
