Episode 18 - Clerks

I think when I saw it in college, there's just so much of it that I didn't know yet.

Like, I'd never seen Star Wars.

I wasn't a movie fan.

I wasn't a Star Wars fan.

I was raised evangelical Christian.

I wasn't exposed to this world that they were exposed to that most American children and teens were.

So for me, it was just like this put-upon guy who was like, I'm not even supposed to be here today.

I didn't understand how clever the dialogue was at the time.

That's a good point about how it really is just stand-up bits.

Maybe that's why I think it's smart now.

Does he still make good movies? I don't know what he's doing.

Let's look him up.

Maybe he's watching this going, it's not dumb.

Yeah.

Well, that's okay.

I'm like, I'm not going to disparage him.

I mean, he's a national treasure, but he made like Jersey girl, right? Like Jersey girl.

Everyone hated Jersey girl.

like that he makes movies about where he's from and that are inspired by his life.

Like, that's all I hope to do.

But Yoga Hosier's right.

I watched I saw Yoga Hosier's.

I think he made that for his daughter, which is really sweet.

So I like that he keeps it in the family and he keeps it personal.

I do love that.
