George your audio is a bit quiet in the no sync version, not sure if it continues like this throughout (just started the reaction) but both the lionsgate intro and the fire sfx at the start are loud enough that you can’t be heard speaking at all

Amelie W

This is about where Kevin Smith started leaning into how he can just get his friends together to make movies and make millions of dollars no matter what those movies are. Just a nested tree of self-references. Not that they're especially "bad" movies, mind you, but it's somewhat noticeable. I mean, I'll always take Alanis Morrisette as God. And yes, Randall was always that bad. His thoughtless prejudices just seemed more acceptable in 1994.

gfixler

Yay, Clerks Day!

Canadianant

Is it just me or is there a weird audio balance between the movie and George and Simone's commentary?

Matt88g

rosario dawson was a child actor, she been acting since mid 90s

Anonymous Andy

Some people take issue with the fact that Dante and Randall, more specifically Dante, are in sort of the same position they were at the end of the last film at the start of this one. Some people feel that this sort of robs the meaning of the end of the first film, which was about understanding that you need to stop languishing in self-pity and grow up and move on with your life. I actually kind of think that this works in this film’s favor, because a lot of times people don’t always make those changes that they need to, even after they have some big epiphany about it. It feels almost more realistic, that despite trying to do different things and “grow up”, Dante ended up just still working at the Quick Stop. I also really like the final message of the film, which is that you can find meaning in the place you are right now and from the things that really are important to you, and you don’t necessarily have to abandon where you came from to “grow”.

Paul T Hewes

She was in the 90s art movie "Kids", which is as soul crushing a movie as I have ever seen...

Matt88g

Jay and bob have money because of the blunt man and chronic movie based on them in jay and silent bob strike back

Jeff K.

This one is for Simone: since you’re such a fan of Jason Mewes you might already know this, but if not, he has a YouTube channel called 5 Things where he interviews a celebrity while they pick out snacks at a convenience store.

Paul T Hewes

-Not sure if they realized the bit that Jay did was from "Silence of the Lambs"...No...they realized... -I really liked the end of this one...the next Clerks movie...that was a brutal punch...

Brandon

Every director has at least one dance number that they need to get out of their system. This was my first time seeing this in more than a decade. I always liked it, but I think I like it even more now. I said in the 'Coming Next Week' post that this was one of Smith's last good movies before he started to fall off for me. There's still 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' which I always liked a lot too. I've heard Smith dismissively say that he was "trying to make a Judd Apatow comedy" with that one, but I think it deserves a little more credit than that. Seth Rogen was shocked to hear that he wasn't really a pothead in real life, but he became one after working with him on that movie. The story of when he first smoked a joint with his wife is in one of the "Evening With Kevin Smith" videos and the story is priceless. Speaking of Smith's wife Jennifer Schwalbach, that's her playing Dante's fiance Emma. She was also in 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' as one of the four girls in the gang of jewel thieves that pretend to be animal activists.

Rev

Surely they'll do Scream 3 soon...

Zac Parker

Request: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) - Jack Nicholson's 1st Oscar win; based on the best-selling book by Ken Kesey

Captain Kermit

I am a HUGE Kevin Smith fan, but I hate Zach and Miri. That should never be recommended to anyone. After Clerks II, I'm recommending Jersey Girl as his only decent non View Askewniverse movie.

Captain Kermit

The bloopers to Clerks II are a FUNNY watch! I'd love to see a Patreon video to you two reacting to the bloopers, and you'd get to see the Elias actor out of character.

Brandon

Agree to disagree, I guess. I always thought Jersey Girl was kind of bland.

REDR58

Therefore we should watch it here? I can't imagine that movie being made today...

Spacedone

I've been waiting for you to see the 'Buffalo Bill' scene since you first started watching Clerks and it didn't disappoint :D

s0rd3z

Best donkey show I have ever seen.

Canadianant

Even though I don't really think either of them are great movies I would like to see a reaction to Jay and silent Bob reboot and clerks 3. I don't really like either of them as movies, but I do like some aspects of them and how they build some of the mythology within the Kevin Smith universe. That being said I wouldn't mind reactions to non askewniverse Kevin Smith movies red state and Zack and Miri make a porno. I think both of them are underrated. I know some don't like it as it's more mainstream I guess in some regards but I actually don't mind Jersey girl either.

KIERON

I didn't even realise Zach and Miri was a Smith film. I probably would've guessed it was an Apatow flop, so mission accomplished I suppose.

Temba His Arms Wide

Can't wait for you to see Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and then Clerks 3!

Jonathan Eaton

Bachelor Party (1984), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

Icarius

You guys should do Clerks the Cartoon series too! It's only 6 episodes, and has Alex Baldwin as the villain!

michael denny

I saw this in the theater and still quote it with my besties.

michael denny

Randall isn't an idiot most of the time usually he's just prodding and causing chaos for entertainment, he doesn't actually believe most of the shit he says.

Chris Davies

Oh yes, the hobbit movies were terrible. Even the 1977 animated version of the hobbit was vastly superior to the new 'trilogy'

Stefan Daniw

Please have more comedies on the channel this August I’m having a real rough time and really need a good laugh

mcfierce24

Because you don't like it, it shouldn't be recommended? lol

mcfierce24

The woman at the end with the milk (Kevin Smith's mother) wasn't looking for unexpired milk, she was looking for the bottle with the latest expiration date possible, just like she did in the original film. Also, the little girl in the restaurant that waved to Dante is Kevin's daughter Harley Quinn.

Raven Blackrose

Ayy. Now to bug y'all about UHF and Black Dynamite instead (kidding :P) No joke, my favorite movie. I'll just say: It's the perfect portrait of 30-something melancholic crisis. Doing the same thing again just adds to it. Kevin Smith facing the same thing as his characters: you're in your 30's, it's not the 90's anymore, and life moved on.

Monica Alarcon

It has been this way since someone complained the movie audio was too low. It's one of those "you can't win either way" situations. I just use the closed captions and go with it...

Raven Blackrose

I recommend clerks 3 eventually. You will cry.

Raven Blackrose

Forgot about that! Really is great, makes all kinds of internet lists about "best cancelled cartoons" and whatnot.

beefjerkywizard

Not technically part of view askewniverse, Zach and Miri is definitely up your alley especially based on George's previous career. Jersey Girl is also great.

Michael Kemmet

I'm just sitting here chuckling at how odd the first fifteen minutes of the movie are with Dante and his fiancé constantly making out. The fiancé that's played by Kevin Smith's wife. I bet that was an interesting day or two of shooting considering how hard they were going at it. Considering the personalities involved, I'd figure Kevin was making all sorts of wild "suggestions", and everyone was collapsing in laughter between takes.

Michael Kemmet

I actually got lightheaded from laughter from the "Oooh. Cake." Thank you Simone. LOL

Dabba King

"Malibu's Most Wanted 2003" Can that please go on the next poll !??! ☺️

Chris Kelley

Agreed. Would love to see more comedy and feel good stuff for a couple of weeks. I hope things get better for you soon.

mcfierce24

Love Z&M! Got to ask Kevin a question about it at a meet and greet and he said that nobody ever asks about it. Coming out of the men's locker room, Zack said: "Sorry about the elbow" to Roxanne. This was improvised by Seth Rogen who told Kevin it was because he n*tted on Roxanne's elbow.

Lyle Morgan

Must have been a real dilemma for the Academy to decide who was Best Actor and who was Best Supporting between Randall and Dante that year.

Alexrandom

"Ooh cake !" I laughed so hard 🤣

Robbie Corrie

It's been retroactively added by Kevin Smith to be part of the View Askewniverse but Zack and Miri is definitely worthwhile watch before you get to the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. It also features Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson and knowing George's experience with the industry, i think it would be a pretty fun reaction

s0rd3z

Bear driving car? How can that be?!?

Senec

Uh oh George, you're running out of Askewniverse films. Gonna have to do Zack And Miri Make A Porno

Steve Mercier

"I'm not eating something that was cooked by some cracker-ass hatemonger!" "I will. Baby, you can't taste racism!"

Frank

There's a lot here that I like, but will just stick to yes please, to Sex Drive. There were so many good comedies in the 2000s, to the point that this one snuck by a lot of people. Obviously they'd have to watch the 1st one first, but D2 The Mighty Ducks was always my favorite.

akaTheBAY-AY-RON

when watching a reaction I usually just start at the beginning of the video and watch until the end (ground breaking approach, I know). But every now and again, before I do that, sometimes the movie they're watching has a part in it that makes me quickly skip right to a part where I just have to see how they react to it, and in this case, the "tucked back" scene was it XD

BigGuy209

if you want a early Rosario Dawson movie you guys should check out Kids (1995)

Frank

Can you believe Trevor Fehrman (Elias) didn't act again until Clerks 3? Idk if he quit acting by choice, but I kinda hope it is because I have no idea how he wouldn't be able to get acting gigs after this performance.

Frank

@RedR I've never seen it, but a quick google search it looks and sounds like a Requiem For a Dream type movie? I guess there's more controversy in Kids, though, if you think there's a chance it wouldn't be made today.

Frank

I believe those awards went to Kinky Kelly and the Sexy Stud

Old School Drew

Now they need to check out Zack and miri make a porno.

Chris Kelley

George laughing was pretty great too.

Jayson Phillips

Bout time you ripped off the Band-aid lmao!! It's like watching 2 girls 1 cup for the 1st time lol

funky weapon

bit of a read because this is one of the few areas I actually know a fair bit about this era of Kevin Smith. this movie kind of broke Kevin Smith. he and everyone else were sure that this was going to be his breakout film after Jersey Girl flopped and that would open the door to more lucrative opportunities. when it did okay at the box office (it earned its budget back but not much else), it convinced Kevin that his audience wasn't really big enough to sustain the kind of movies he eventually wanted to make. this led to him making Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which is a Judd Apatow movie right down to the filmmaking style of letting people riff and adlib everywhere. Kevin before this was really, really anal about people reading the script he wrote. Zach and Miri bombed, and that sent him spiraling into a depression where he cocooned in his home and just smoked weed and watched Wayne Gretzky documentaries all day. the next several years weren't great for him either. He made Cop Out for Warner Brothers with Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan, and it was around this time that Bruce (who had previously gotten along with Kevin on the set of Die Hard 4 and genuinely liked Kevin) was diagnosed with Aphasia. Bruce's attitude on set was volatile to say the least and there's no other way to say it other than Willis actively bullied Kevin. it was so bad that Kevin never wanted to go to the set on some days. When Cop Out did fairly well at the box office, Kevin saw two roads. One where he signed a deal with Warner Bros. and kept making other people's movies, and the other where he'd go out on his own and do it independently but have total control over his films. he decided on the latter, feeling that what held movies like Clerks 2, Zack and Miri, and Cop Out back was dealing with studios and the internal politics of Hollywood. Then came Red State. A horror movie by Kevin Smith. it's fucking excellent and you will never, ever think it was a Kevin Smith movie. After Tusk, it becomes clear that his writing was suffering badly due to his admitted dependence on weed. eventually he just stopped making movies and became a podcaster/influencer full-time. although recently he's gotten sober and I think is starting to get the bug for filmmaking again. So yeah, if you want off the Askewniverse train, this is probably your best stop. everything after Red State (a horror movie, not Askewniverse) is YMMV or outright bad. which is a shame. I feel like if Kevin Smith came around when nerd culture was fully embraced by the masses, his films would've done so, so much better than their cult classic status.

Adam Vialpando

Still don't know why they cut that line

Jay Johnson

the pinnacle will always be Leonard Nimoy's Bilbo Baggins music video

Jay Johnson

it is kind of sad how much I enjoyed hearing Simone say "I love Jay so much". (cuz that's my name too)

Brandon

I remember hearing about this film's disappointing box office and was kind of shocked at the time. Where I live, Smith seems to have a huge audience and it's not uncommon for his movies to sell out theaters on opening weekend. This and Zack and Miri both had packed theaters when I saw them. Sadly I guess it's not like that everywhere else.

ShittyShittyGameGang

YES Jersey Girl & Zack & Miri Make A Porno, especially Z&M for more Jason Mewes!

Paul T Hewes

@Frank...Requiem is a fever dream nightmare. Kids is more like looking in on some place and some time and seeing the truth you didnt know was there.

ShittyShittyGameGang

I hope you continue on the Veiwaskewniverse journey, I genuinely love Clerks 3 and Zack & Miri Make A Porno (which yes is tied to the VAU). I also love some of Kevin's other films like Tusk & Jersey Girl. It's been awhile since I watched Jay & Silent Bob Reboot but I do remember enjoying it. And seeing Red State recommended here as a Kevin Smith film has me curious cuz I've never watched it!

Frank

@Paul gotcha. I've seen requiem. The description of Kids from you and a couple of other non-spoiler summaries, made them sound similar to me with the drug theme and overall bleakness. I appreciate the info.

MacGuffinStuff

George and Simone, I could not wait to see this reaction to Randall's LOTR rant! I was nervous. You handled it more magnanimously than I expected. But I do love how it's really just a joke about ALL of us LORE nerds (if you know fictional lore, you are a nerd, fact), me too) Toy Boy is good, Jedi WAS my favorite until Lucas butchered it, but that's... Anyway, stop blaming the Ewoks lol No but I love this movie, suffices to say I still relate to these characters a little too much (but I'm still trying), but being honest, I moved back to my home town, at first out of necessity but now I'm seeing, there's a reason my parents moved here, they were smart. Like these characters I'm going through this life transition, and that's what's up, but I love how Kevin Smith is such a human and I feel like I know all of the people in the View Askewniverse, in our neighborhood we had like three different Jays, always had a lighter and probably something illegal, several things. Would start fires with any aerosal can you forgot to hide.

jure kell

idk if anyone's said this before but there's a new Avatar Aang The Last Airbender animated movie and since you reacted to the show would be cool if you reacted to this movie too

Tits McGee

You guys should watch the animated tv show. It was on ABC so they really didn’t know how to market it properly. I think if it was on a network like MTv it would have done much better.

Cc Decc

Just a question here, but Kevin Smith codes for me as very much "of an era". A 10 year run or so from the late 90s to early 00s. And if you were around and watching movies in that era, you obviously know his work and may be a fan. But I don't think I've met (I haven't asked of course) any Gen Z fans of his. Do people under 30 know him at all?

Sporty Taco

Listening to the discussion before the movie, I couldn't help but think of what a wild ride you were in for. Speaking of wild rides, Clerks III is a must see. Have plenty of tissues ready. For all the laughing. Yeah. The laughing.

Icarius

As a huge fan through the 90s, this is where the View Askewniverse ended for me, and it was a great stopping point, I genuinely love the ending here: Finding your place, where you've always been. I did see Jersey Girl and Zack&Miri and enjoyed them, but I'm skeptical of everything else I've heard about after that.

CT

There’s not ready for Clerks 3! Not ready at all!!

Shawn

26:38 Rosario Dawson dancing on the roof ( no bra) "george .. lol I know bro.. nuff said", and a always love yall's and the cinabits

Hiphopopotamus

The movie “Kids” is what I remember Rosario Dawson from.

Frank

Idk if Gen Z even know what movies are. Lol, but seriously, as a millennial, I feel like we were the last generation who still had blockbuster and going to the movies was a staple for us. Everyone younger grew up watching YouTubers and those are their celebs, so I feel like they aren't as big movie buffs. I'm probably dead wrong, but that's my 2 cents anyway haha

REDR58

Speaking of the Ewoks, I maintain that "Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure" (1984) and "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" (1985) are better movies than Episodes 8 and 9.

Frank

I too was waiting for this reaction specifically to that scene, lol. I kind of wanted to see one of them rage quit 🤣 but ya, they took it like champs.

REDR58

Bachelor Party (1984)... with Tom Hanks (yes I own this movie on disc)!

REDR58

I thought the dance sequence turned out quite good!

REDR58

Frank, "Kids" was given an NC-17 rating and, yeah, it was *highly* controversial at the time of its release. The 2001 movie "Bully" concerning teenagers is perhaps even more unsettling, to say the least.

REDR58

Lots of fire in that opening scene. Not *nearly* enough smoke. George, the bridge you noted in opening scene is the Stone Bridge or Atlantic Highlands Viaduct in Monmouth County, New Jersey and was built in 1896. There is a staircase built next to the bridge: https://youtu.be/eZfGJyELMcw?is=8VngH0xN2yS6tWt7 lat: 40.410833 / lon: -74.030278 I miss those old eat-in Pizza Hut restaurants. George, Talking Heads could not be any less Cowboy Bebop music if it tried. The ultimate fan site for Lord of the rings is of course theonering.net! The guys who worked the skidmarks go-cart place had tire/ skidmarks on their tops. CHUD is a reference to the 1984 movie “C.H.U.D.” or “Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.”

Holdenk

Just wait till Clerks 3. Elias is beautiful in it. Only a couple of movies left in this universe, but plenty of other Kevin Smith movies. Jersey Girl, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, The Green Hornet.

Charles

That oohh cake moment was hilarious 😝

The Real Andrew Kim

It seems like you guys forgot that Jay and Silent Bob had the money because they got rich off the movie deal from Bluntman and Chronic, the plot of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. But this always confused me cuz they ended up at the Third Bank of Leonardo for a loan at the end XD maybe that was just to sign the deeds? Also that was Kevin Smith's mother playing the "milk maid" which is a reference from the the first movie, who always looks for the milk in the back with longer expiration date. Unfortunately she passed very recently and as you can imagine hit Kevin Smith pretty hard. RIP Grace Smith

Nicholas Bielik

In the scene with Elias telling the story about “Pillow Pants” to Randal, I had never noticed that the music that comes up is “Dream of the Witch’s Sabbath” by Berlioz—which was famously used in the opening of The Shining.

Jacob Colson

I do wish the subtitles were turned on on the movie Obsession. It was getting hard to hear some of the characters' lines.

Jacob Colson

Or Cars 2 & 3, Scream 3-7, or American Reunion (American Pie 4.... don't bother with the non-OG cast spin-offs).

James W.

I didn't know his mom passed, that fucking sucks. He loved that lady to bits, and was always talking about her on his podcast. I know he was traveling back and forth to take of her for awhile there. Kev's a good dude, I feel bad for him.

Happy Hanukkah

Maybe what they got from Jay and no-longer-Silent Bob was just money for the down payment.

James W.

I really dug this film, the edge lord weirdness of Randall was a little much at times, but Kev got some great performances out of Jeff and Brian, especially towards the end. I think it helped Brian immensely that Rosario was his scene partner. I feel like I can see that in Brian's eyes sometimes. Not much acting needed if Rosario just makes you fall in love with her. Mewes was impeccable is this for me, like everytime he does anything he was funny. I think he was pretty deep in his addiction at this point. I am happy he managed to work his way through that and come out on the other side, with the family and career he has now. Kev loves his friends, and loves making stories with them, I will show up for that. He makes what he wants to make, and sometimes we get weird things like Yoga Hosers and Moosejaws, but at least he is having fun. First thing I remember Rosario from was the movie 'Kids' (1995) which is a quintessential 90s indie flick. I feel like if Euphoria was made in the mid-90s, it would look a lot like 'Kids'. I'm not sure what her biggest film was but I haven't seen her be bad in anything. She is so fucking attractive it is hard to be objective. Like I KNOW she is a good performer but I also know that she could just read the dictionary and I'd still watch the whole thing. Crush is the correct word, I am crushed.

Tim Pierce

Jay and Silent Bob had the money to help Dante and Randall because in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back they had gotten paid for the rights to their comic book Bluntman and Chronic. Also, in the behind the scenes Rosario Dawson says the donkey show was primarily why she did the movie.

Ben Stevens

I am partial to Kev and his passion projects, so I would love for you guys to continue watching his movies. Tusk and Yoga Hosers will take a little suspension of disbelief and committing to the bit, but Zack and Miri, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, and Clerks 3 should definitely be in future polls/discussions since the humor is so in line with your guys'. k bye <3 just a cinebitch sittin' on the porch (i'm bringing it back)

David

Snoogans!

Andrew Hussey

Unsure if this has been mentioned but you asked, if memory serves Rosario Dawson's first big breakout role was in the movie Kids by Larry Clark, Chloe sevigny too I think, profoundly fucked up movie, a bunch of the people involved in it are long since dead now, some had careers that just took off. Its really well made and written just super unsettling, partly because it was basically my youth, I was about 14 or so when it came out and came from a way smaller town but it stuck the atmosphere of mid-90's ennui pretty perfectly

Dwight Scarn

Im a huge Kevin Smith fan, but i didn't bother with that one i had a few spoilers and thought he just ruined it because he had a midlife crisis and sucked all the joy out.

Brian K.

Rosario got her start in the movie Kids. It’s worth a watch.

Robert Gendron

Clerks 2 today, but Clerks: The Animated Series wasn't on the short series poll two days earlier?

RJ aka LEMental

When you say rookie numbers about those LOTR guys, keep in mind that those are Theatrical showings. Streaming was not huge yet. Me personally theatrical: 2 for Fellow, 3 for TT, and 7 for ROTK

REDR58

The Extended Edition DVDs were released between 2002 and 2004 and it *appears* that the Extended Editions first came to streaming in 2021? The Extended Blu-ray Discs came out in 2011. Speaking of the DVDs, those Extended Edition's Behind the Scenes supplemental material is some of the most comprehensive ever put out for any major film as far as I'm aware.

RJ aka LEMental

Kids was Rosario Dawson's first film role.

REDR58

She was in Men in Black II (2002) and that did quite well. I'd have to check the numbers but that would surely have to be one of her biggest movies, if not the biggest. She was in "Seven Pounds" (2007) alongside Will Smith once again and "Unstoppable" in 2010, a good action film which has been recommended here a number of times. She is also in Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) which we should watch here.

REDR58

Ask kids today who the biggest movie star is? "What's a movie star?"

Matt Blanchette

He's also got a podcast going with the "Murdoch Mysteries" people! :-D

David

Please, if y'all haven't seen it, watch My Name Is Earl.

RJ aka LEMental

You're right; I should have done more research. I always place things later than they were. Getting old, I guess.

MacGuffinStuff

I'm gonna have to watch those, I remember I made my parents watch a TV movie about Ewoks, had to be that, and they were so annoyed! 😂 They probably wanted to watch Falcon's Crest or something haha

MacGuffinStuff

George has seen it, I remember him referencing it, but I don't know if Simone has. That would be cool.

Cc Decc

Be careful my friends. Down that road lies verbal tics such as "Back in my day" and eventually "young whippersnappers!" and in terminal cases "Get off my lawn!" :p

mcfierce24

The guy with Wanda Sykes is stand up comedian "Earthquake". He's got some great routines out there.

mcfierce24

The fire truck at the end was engine # 37. Nice little callback.

CouchCheese

People are silly. Dante literally gets married, has a child, and becomes a business owner in this one. He is definitely not in the same position as in the last film.

OddThomas

I kind of like Yoga Hosers in all its awfulness but otherwise this is where I'd leave the Kevin Smith bus. He just repeats himself to diminishing returns.

Kevin Cormier

I saw Kids at a CMJ screening in 1995 and it's haunted me ever since. But it gave us Rosario Dawson, and for that I'm grateful. Now they need to watch Unstoppable.

Alexander Kirichenko

next stop, Zach and Miri make a porno please, it is one of the Kevin's better work

DM DC

I agree Simone. The numbers they mention for how many times they saw the Lord of the Rings are definitely amateur numbers. I saw Fellowship 10 times at the theatre, Two Towers 10 times. I was only able to see Return of the King 5 times. Rough year that year for me. But overall, I do always find that scene pretty funny. I actually liked the Hobbit movies. And I am okay with it being a Trilogy. One thing that always bugged me about the book was it delt with such an epic situation but was dwindled down to a short story. I for one liked that they made it grander and more expanded upon it. To me it's no different than a DM expanding upon a published adventure module for D&D.

DM DC

Also, regarding Randell, I think I'd have to disagree with George a bit there. I feel like what he was saying about Jay could also apply to Randell. I myself wouldn't consider Randell maliciously ignorant. Also about the 50,000 grand. Remember Jay and Silent bog are getting a movie check. That accounts for them having the money to lend to Randell and Dante.

Owenrock1221

I know its not everyones cup of tea, but the entire donkey show scene is the reason I think this film is better than the 1st one. Kevin Smith is an expert at taking an awkward topic or situation that some might be disgusted with if it happened in real life and making it hilarious...takes a special kind of writer to walk that line

fwfwfwfwf wfwfw

My favorite part of this reaction the jay reenactment in the parking lot and caught them off gaurd. Georgre just bursting laughing from the absurdity and Simeon uncomfortable reaction of weither it was ok to look or not lol! i replayed the part of reaction several times. :-)
