SModCo encompasses all of Kevin Smith's Film, TV, internet and Games

SModcast Network

Current podcasts

Since SModcast had become so successful, Kevin Smith invited some of his former guest hosts on SModcast to create their own podcasts, which are found on the SModcast website, are part of the SModcast network and are broadcast on SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R).

  • Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! is hosted by Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan and Brian Quinn. The title refers to the characters Johnson and Flanagan played in many Kevin Smith films. Johnson played Steve-Dave and Flanagan played Fanboy who yelled "Tell 'em, Steve-Dave!" in Mallrats. This was the first podcast to join the network after SModcast and comes out on Fridays.
  • Jay & Silent Bob Get Old is hosted by Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. It features the two hosts talking about various experiences that they've had together during their twenty-plus year friendship. The first episodes recounted Jason Mewes' drug-related past and about his recent break from sobriety in 2010. Current episodes also include stories of Mewes' past sexual experiences, Smith's responses to Twitter messages while stoned and the game "Let Us Fuck", where via "air sex" Mewes—assisted by audience members—creates new sexual positions suggested by Smith. Smith often suggests the podcast is a weekly "intervention" and a way to keep Mewes sober. The podcast was originally recorded at SModcastle, but is now normally recorded at The Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre on Friday nights, with some episodes recorded at tour locations. The podcast comes out on Wednesdays.
  • Hollywood Babble-On is hosted by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman. The show involves the two hosts discussing film and entertainment news. The podcast was originally recorded at SModcastle, but is now normally recorded at The Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre on Saturday nights, with some episodes recorded at tour locations. The podcast comes out on Mondays.
  • Bagged & Boarded is hosted by Matt Cohen. The show is a geek chat show that features a celebrity guest each week. The show was recorded live at the SModCastle.
  • NetHeads is hosted by Will Wilkins and Trent Hunsaker. This is a podcast of their SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) show. The podcast comes out every Sunday.
  • Having Sex, with Katie Morgan is hosted by former pornstar Katie Morgan.

She answers sex related questions from the audience and tells stories. This is a podcast of their SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) show. The podcast comes out every Friday.
  • Get Up On This is hosted by Jensen Karp in which he and a guest discuss things they think will soon become popular. This is a podcast of his SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) show. The podcast comes out Tuesday.
  • I Sell Comics! is hosted by Ming Chen and Mike Zapcic in which they discuss comic books. This is a podcast of his SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) show. The podcast comes out Thursday.

In 2010, Jesse moved back to his home in Alabama, and shortly after Brendan Creecy, already a regular fixture on the show with a segment entitled "The Brendoman Minute", took over co-hosting duties. In late 2010, the show moved to the SModcast Network. As of Episode 92, Matt has been hosting the show by himself, either with a special celebrity guest co-host or a member of what is referred to as "The Bagged & Boarded: Brave and the Bold", which consists of a mix of Matt's personal friends and past interview subjects from Bagged & Boarded itself. In 2011, former adult performer and video game industry professional Misti Dawn became the new co-host.

SModcastle

After the first SMod tour, Smith mused in a tweet about having a theater solely for the purpose of recording his SModcast Network shows. Seeing this, fan, friend and fellow podcaster Matt Cohen searched for and found a small black box theatre that would become SModcastle, the "World's First Podcast Theater". SModcastle was located at 6468 Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles and had its opening night on July 25, 2010. SModcastle was used for live recordings of SModcast, Blow Hard, Jay & Silent Bob Get Old, Bagged & Boarded. It was also used for NHL video game tournaments, showing movies and weddings performed by Smith who is an ordained minister.[3]

However, SModcastle held only 50 seats and two shows recorded there were popular enough to regularly sell out, which led Smith to search for a larger Venue to record them in and found The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club (now called The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre). Smith successfully moved both the live recordings of Hollywood Babble-On and Jay & Silent Bob Get Old to the new venue. Several months after this, Smith announced the SModcastle will be shutting down and will re-open under the name of SModcastle Lounge in the top floor of The Jon Lovitz Podcast Theatre but the SModcastle Lounge never came to be. The final recording night in SModcastle took place on June 29, 2011.[4] Of all the shows that featured at Smodcastle, only Hollywood Babble-On and Jay & Silent Bob Get Old continued at The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club.

SModcost

SModcost is a monthly membership program, run by SModCo, which provides access to premium podcasts without pre-recorded ads, exclusive video downloads, early access to tickets and many other benefits.

SModco Cartoon Show

A fan of SModcast, Steve Stark, made two cartoons that played out stories which were told on SModcast and uploaded them to Youtube. Kevin Smith saw them and commissioned him to make more. SModimations are released the first Monday of each month.[5]

The first season of SModimations was later compiled together, complete with new material bridging the episodes, and released on DVD through Shout! Factory in late 2011. It is being sold both individually, and as part of two special boxed sets, the first of which includes the Kevin Smith: Too Fat for 40 DVD and an exclusive DVD featuring a fully filmed episode of Hollywood Babble-On.[6] The second set features all 3 DVDs and a Blu-ray/DVD Combo copy of Too Fat For 40 (with Disc 1 in Blu-ray format and Disc 2 in DVD format).[7]

In 2012, Smith held a contest for animators to create an animation of Batman encountering Darth Vader. The three winners were chosen to contribute to SModimations, now titled SModco Cartoon Show, as it became a weekly show on YouTube. Animators, including Stark, rotate every week.

SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.)

On February 23, 2011 Kevin Smith revealed on G4tv's Attack of the Show that on May 9, 2011 he would be launching SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) which would stream live content and feature live shows including SMorning with Jen & Kev, later renamed Plus One Per Diem, a morning radio show featuring Smith and wife Jennifer Schwalbach and the afternoon show Jay & Silent Bob Get Jobs featuring Smith and fellow podcaster, co-star, and friend Jason Mewes.[8]
