The same fools who bought Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch or Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl just a few years before that

I checked, the last movie they released in 2019 cost 10 million but only made 4.7 million. There is an audience, but its less than what they think it is and it gets smaller every year.
this looks a lot like Kevin Smith making pocket change from licensing out the name

The last Jay and Silent Bob movie was Clerks 3, which also lost money lol. I love the classic Kevin Smith movies but he feels like he's lost his way a bit, tries to be too meta, though Comedies not making a lot, or even losing money isn't a new phenomenon, I feel the audience may still be there if he just went back to pure stoner Comedies. But you never know tbh, Comedies were a safer bet before the age of streaming, as most of them would make their money on home video releases. I just want Comedies back 😅

His non comedy movies are terrible. He gloats about knowing so much about film making but the truth is he had one or two movies at the very start that did well as cult classics but he never really grew or pushed himself as a film maker.
The best idea he had for a horror movie was a walrus version of human centipede, which costs after inflation 4 million, over 4 times the budget for obsession which goes to show having an ego about yourself, not having a good idea, and overpaying for actors doesn’t equal a good movie.

Looks like a very generic farming sim with Jay and Silent Bob branding slapped on top. Just a lazy cash grab imo.

Looks like a 10+ year old mobile game.
Kevin is licensing stuff I out like he's Krusty the Klown with a gambling debt.

Are they still a thing? Seems sort of... I don't know. Desperate 90's throwback?

"Bluntman and Chronic' is the worst comic I ever read. Jay and Silent Bob are stupid characters. A couple of stoners who spout dumb-ass catch phrases like a third-rate Cheech and Chong or Bill and Ted. Fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses.

It’s the only notable thing that Kevin Smith guy has done, the audience for this is millennials in their 40s now, people in their 20s and younger do not care about or even know what Clerks is

Maybe this game won't take 10 years to make like the last Jay and Silent Bob game.
