The year was 1994 and an unknown New Jersey director named Kevin Smith maxed out his credit cards to create a black-and-white indie comedy film about foul-mouthed service employees. The rest, as they say, is history. Clerks went on to launch Smith's career in Hollywood. He has since become a "name," associated with such low-budget cult classics as Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Clerks II . Now, as Smith seems to be entering a new phase in his career with his use of new-media to spawn interests for projects like Tusk, we revisit Clerks and see if it's worthy of a re-view. Is it a genuine comedy classic? Or, did Smith just produce his film at the right time? With the 2015 Sundance film festival just on the horizon, Ivan, Mike, and Dave do their best to answer that all important question.
