Like most of you readers, I first learned about Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes from the film “Clerks” where they portrayed Jay and Silent Bob. Now, so many years later the pair return to their original roles in a new film called “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot”. The first trailer was just released so let’s take a look at it down below.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: From the looks of it, the film appears to be a star-studded load of obnoxious fun and that might be good for the folks who followed the earliest appearances of these two characters that Smith and Mewes created so long ago. I must admit that I didn’t follow through most of them and will likely be taking a pass myself based on a bevy of conventions, Metal concerts and other things to do around the time of release but let’s see what happens. Perhaps I will find a screener coming that will ask me to overview for the website. I wouldn’t mind that at all. What did you readers think about this film? Chime in down below in the comments section. See you next time.
