Kevin Smith: interesting and long interview

KCRW’s The Business has a long and interesting interview with filmmaker Kevin Smith.  He talks about everything from self-distribution of Red State to Wayne Gretzky’s advice as applied to filmmaking to his love of pot.  You may or may not love all of his films, but there’s plenty to learn here.  Here’s the blurb:

Listen to the largely unedited version of Kim Masters’ interview with Kevin Smith, recorded in his Hollywood hills home. You’ll hear things that didn’t make it in the show like his sentimental love of Harvey Weinstein, his vast podcast network, his emotions about his daughter, the impact of the Southwest Airlines ordeal, and his successful efforts to lose weight. At one point, he even calls Kim a ‘sexy thing!’  This version takes you right into the interview which took place in his home office as The Business producer, Darby Maloney makes the observation — looking at all the Wayne Gretzky memorabilia — that Smith comes by his love of the hockey hero honestly.
