This week, Faults in the Vaults navigates the
pitfalls of parenting with a pair of films centered around matriarchal tragedy
and the men left behind to pick up the pieces for their families. We say Aloha
to Alexander Payne's The Descendants
(2011) in order to right a past wrong and call for the re-evaluation and
redemption of Jersey Girl (2004)!
In celebration of the far too disrespected Jersey Girl, we speak to writer/director Kevin Smith about the genesis, execution, and history of the film. We interviewed Kevin at the world famous Hollywood Improv podcast studio and next week we'll be releasing the full, unedited 90 minute interview as Giant Size #3!
This Week in Torrents,
Josh praises the hard work of anonymous content creators with an up-scaled and
overhauled presentation of the classic 1993 episode of MST3K where they endured Manos:The Hands of Fate!
In another edition of Recycled Cinema, Mitch recalls the '80's comedy classic, Three Men and a Baby (1987) and its'
original award-winning French incarnation, Three Men and a Cradle, written and directed by Coline Serreau!

This was awesome! Thanks for catching up with Kevin regarding Jersey Girl, one of my favorite dad-daughter movies. Jay and Silent Bob worked into it... no way. It was smart to not put them in the film.
ReplyDeleteI personally have no quarrels about Jen. If Jen wasn't cast, who would have been a next-best choice? I wonder if Kevin had a back-up plan or another choice. Would the film have been perceived differently if there was a different actress in the role?
Either way, I enjoy and appreciate the film regardless. When I miss my dad (I live 500+ miles away from him) I turn on this flick. :)
Thanks! Also, congrats on being the first person ever to use the comment feature!!! We forgot we had one!!!
