I wish I had known about this channel when it was still active. I had a similar experience as you, including the Wizard magazine bit. I hope you are doing well, random algorithm guy.
Thank you, cool new viewer! Yea I haven't uploaded anything in quite a while. I'm in film school right now. There is a lot of stuff I've written and I'm planning on jumping back in next month.
I will have to admit that I am NOT a comic book junkie but diving into one and escaping everyday realty is something that is more appealing to me these days. The life of a husband, worker, dad, and now this pandemic... yeah, comic books sound like a win-win. The movie itself, well, it's simply a great movie for a teen or young adult to view. Maybe anyone of the legal age hahaha! Yes, it touches many areas of life in a vivid fashion. It's way out there but that's part of why it's so entertaining. I need to watch more of his current stuff because I need to know if he still has it (Kevin Smith). Great job, Robbie!!!
Really enjoyed this analysis man. One of my favorite Kevin Smith movies growing up. I know everyone loves Clerks, but this was the one I really LOVED as a teen.
True story I grew up down the street where this movie was filmed and used to go up to this mall as a kid and teenager, food courts, the arcade all of it. Loved this movie too, I remember when they were filming there they had parts of the mall closed off for obviously filming etc.. it really is a 90's gem! All the stars this movie spawned as well, incredible.
Mallrats and Dogma are my two favorite Kevin Smith movies. The piece of art that made me think like Mallrats did for you was Fight Club believe it or not. And not in the way people would think. To me FIght Club was not about a failed ideology, schizophrenia, or the criticism of the type of Capitalism the world runs on. For me Fight Club was about a person who kept living his day to day life without doing anything. And because of that his subconscious did it for him. It was about the dangers of just going through the motions and not living life.
Ooooooh. Fantastic analysis and something people don't discuss. See this is why art is so abstract. That isn't, according to the author, what the piece is about but I TOTALLY see that theme in the film. It's in there for sure. I love that take away.
Oh man, Robbie! I still remember the day that I rented this movie from Movies Plus (George Urban/Dick Road) and brought it home. I have to say that I only watched it 2-3 times in my life. My first Kevin Smith experience was Clerks. Overall, I might enjoy the comedy of that one a little more but that doesn't diminish Mallrats. I lived the same era as you and realize how awesome it was to hang out at the mall. I LOVED arcades (even know the one at the Galleria Mall was way overpriced); I loved Putt-Putt. The relationship aspect of this one was real to me. I just graduated high school in June of 1994. Your breakdown was great to hear. I enjoyed how this one impacted you. I can't put my finger on a film that changed my life like this one did to you bu American History X could have helped me realize that hate truly is baggage. Congrats on 500!!!
I really enjoy listening to you. The voice over is very fluid and you explain this very well! :) but omfg all these comments know what these movies and magazines are. I’m so out of touch XD
Definitely one of Smith's best. Hard to imagine that this only has 55% on rotten tomatoes. Also, RIP Stan Lee, his role in this is one of my favorites. Guess I'm binging now. Great review sir
Hi Nerdynomicon I remember watching Spawn ,Blade ,Batman and all those best comic moves when i was a kid. But my favored one was Jay and silent Bob strike back and Clerks from Kevin Smith. I think i still have that movie from him. Mallrats was awesome to watch and i have slackers too. This was a awesome review on this epic movie Brother i really enjoy it.
I agree. I loved Tim Burton’s Batman growing up, too. I loved the narration and editing with the music in this video. Great job and quality. 👌 I can’t wait for the new Justice League haha Kevin Smith has had some hilarious interviews. Have you seen the one where he talked about the guy who produced or was the exec of Wild Wild West? Crazy and hilarious and hard to believe story haha I haven’t seen Mallrats tho haha
I think I saw this movie before but I'm not sure, maybe i was too young to remember but I can honestly say that the theme of this movie is timeless, regardless of what year it was made the overall message of this movie is applicable to every one of us. at least that what my thought is. I have watched many movies during my life, and i am attached to a specific one Final Fantasy King's Glaive.
When i saw this in the theater I was 15 (target demographic) and I was very disappointed, I wasn't expecting Clerks 2 but it felt like Kevin Smith tried to remake Dazed and Confused for the 90s. He even hired half the cast from that movie. Jeremy London was horribly miscast, his acting is atrocious. Jason Lee saves the movie to make it watchable. I thought I had nostalgia for this movie and I just recently watched it on HBO Max, I was even more disappointed this time, the movie does not hold up at all and the only laughs were from Jay and Silent Bob. I appreciate it for what it tried to be, but it is not something I would ever watch again. Nice review.
And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan, but even I don't like everything he's made. In all honesty I give you props for trying to watch it again! If there's 1 thing ive noticed being a TH-camr it's that people base their lives on first reactions and love to sh** all over everyone who don't agree with them. You hear that Clerks 3 is happening to us?
MALLRATS is hilarious. Last Friday i attended the Screening and Q&A with Kevin Smith Jason Lee and Jeremy London!
Omg that's amazing! I'm sure that made it even better!
@@Nerdynomicon it did indeed. My pic is of the 3 of them with me from the event
Dude Mallrats really changed life especially now that in going to college, Kevin Smith is really influencing me right now.
I miss Wizard Magazine, especially Twisted Toyfare theater (which evolved into Robot Chicken).

Me too. I mean I love clerks too. And chasing Amy. And dogma. But this one will always be special to me.

That's absolutely awesome dude!!! Is that mall still around?

Maan, the way you narrate and put it all together is so awesome... I enjoy your voice a lot as well haha! 🥰
U humble me, you math wizard. 😁

Hi Nerdynomicon

Mallrats was awesome to watch and i have slackers too.
This was a awesome review on this epic movie Brother i really enjoy it.
Great movie in my collection for life, michael rooker (Later was Merle in Walking dead) my fav character ever!
Also Yandu!
It's my favorite of Smith's films even though I've only watched most of them once. I definitely need to go on a binge and skip Jersey Girl.
I liked Jersey girl! Lol
I agree. I loved Tim Burton’s Batman growing up, too. I loved the narration and editing with the music in this video.

I'm glad you liked the video! And oh yes. I have absolutelt seen the interview of which you speak. Smith is always hilarious. 😁
I think I saw this movie before but I'm not sure, maybe i was too young to remember but I can honestly say that the theme of this movie is timeless, regardless of what year it was made the overall message of this movie is applicable to every one of us. at least that what my thought is.
I have watched many movies during my life, and i am attached to a specific one Final Fantasy King's Glaive.
Ive never seen it! I'll have to check that one out.
This is great. I enjoyed this one. Also my movie is Goonies.
OoOoOo. Good pull! Id love to know what Goonies did and meant to you.
Yes! Yes! YES!!!
You know what? The Easter Bunny isnt real! Over there, thats just a guy in a suit!
Working on my script for my next video and this just gave me that added motivation. 😂😂😂😂
Haha nice. You know I also started on mallrats although I was never into comics I somehow felt I was when I watched Smith's movies

Are you alive?
Yeah I'm still here. I've been in film school.
@@Nerdynomicon well that's good to hear.
@mryes413 I'm planning on doing a few more videos this summer.
@@Nerdynomicon will you cover films by Dwayne Johnson?
I don't think he's in any of the films on my list tbh....
