This week on ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris decide to check out THE place to hang in the 90’s, the mall. That’s right! Our journey through the works of Kevin Smith continues with ‘Mallrats’. Smith’s follow up to ‘Clerks’ was considered a disappointment by critics, its box office returns, and Chris as well. But The Lady Wan has found memories of Brody, TS, Brandi, Rene, and the rest of the gang. Even the guy that likes to do it in uncomfortable places. So it’s been years. Could attitudes have changed on either, or both, ends? Is ‘Mallrats’ a cult classic after all? It is the birth of “snootchie bootchies”, so it’s got that going for it, which is nice. So light ‘em up, take your comics out of their secure plastic bags, and settle in for the second episode of ScreenRun. Notes go here

That’s right, our journey through the works of Kevin Smith continues with ‘Dogma’. Jay and Silent Bob are joined by a motley cast of ruffians, featuring the Voice of God, the Lost Apostle, a couple muses, and a sh!t demon. Can Smith’s attempt to mine his deeply held religious beliefs for raunchy humor possibly payoff with big laughs and just a dusting of protest?

And can Wan and Chris possibly reconcile their differences?
