SModcast Podcast Network
SModcast Podcast Network is a podcast network owned by Kevin Smith. The network was started in January 2010 to host the podcast SModcast alongside the popular Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! and Highlands: A Peephole History.
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, Bagged & Boarded's 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 and Jay & Silent Bob Get Old, "Bagged & Boarded", and more. It was also used for NHL video game tournaments, showing movies and weddings performed by Smith who is an ordained minister.
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 (later 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 Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre but the SModcastle Lounge never came to be. The final recording night in SModcastle took place on June 29, 2011. Of all the shows that featured at SModcastle, only Hollywood Babble-On and Jay & Silent Bob Get Old continued regularly at The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre until April 2013.
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.
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. 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).
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.
In 2013 more cartoons were released through iTunes under the name Kevin Smith's Cartoon Lagoon with the first installment released on April 18. The name was later changed to SModimations Volume 2: Sub-Standard Kevin Smith Cartoons after a copyright claim on cartoon lagoon. SModimations Volume 3: Jay & Silent Bob vs. Sant-Al Claus was released on November 27, 2013.
Kevin Smith announced at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival announced he would release his latest movie Red State himself under his own distribution company SModcast Pictures by touring the film instead of having a traditional release. After the success of the Red State tour, SModcast Pictures announced a partnership with Phase 4 Films to distribute up to twelve films a year in the US and Canada, with up to four of those films getting the roadshow treatment used for Red State. The first film to be picked was Bindlestiffs
