Snoochie Boochies! On-Air Film Review of ‘Clerks III’
Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on September 15th, 2022, reviewing “Clerks III,” the third film in Kevin Smith’s New Jersey convenience story trilogy. Currently in theaters after opening on September 13th.
When we last encountered Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), they had bought the Quick Stop in Leonardo, New Jersey, and continue their drab lives as Clerks. Along for the ride is Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith, also the writer and director), the weed dealers who hang out in the store’s parking lot, and the usual gang of customers and fellow travelers. When the forty-something Randal has a heart attack, he decides to stop obsessing about movies, and actually make one. So his new movie “Inconvenience” starts to film, making “Clerks III” a meta movie which is a movie that was once a movie.
