The victory-lap for the View Askewniverse — Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was originally the final chapter of these movies and who better to lead than the connective tissue between the films themselves. Dylan, Ryan and Buddy discuss the films more typical early 2000’s humour and some of the crazy cameos.

Dogma was the first, but not last Kevin Smith film picketed by a church for its theme, characters and story. But like Dylan, Ryan and Buddy debate on this episode: is Dogma even anti-religion? The three also discuss the films high use of Jay and Silent Bob and if it's necessary and also the inclusion of a bunch of higher-profile names, including, of course, Alan Rickman and Chris Rock.

Chasing Amy proves to be a super-interesting movie to discuss in 2019. Its representation of LGBTQ culture was, at the time of release, both praised and criticised. Dylan, Ryan and Buddy take a look at the films discussing its characters and some of its more seemingly homophobic dialogue.
