The film Jay and Silent Bob also appeared in Smith's later films Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which are set primarily in his home state of New Jersey. While not strictly sequential, the films have crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon known as the "View Askewniverse", named after Smith's production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier.
Since 2011, Smith has mostly made horror films, including Red State (2011) and the "comedy horror films" Tusk (2014) and Yoga Hosers (2016), two in a planned series of three such films set in Canada dubbed the True North trilogy.
Last year, Smith executive produced Masters of the Universe: Revelation for Netflix and coming later this year, Smith will release the much anticipated Clerks III via Lionsgate.

As a podcaster, Smith co-hosts several shows on his SModcast Podcast Network, including SModcast, Fatman Beyond, and the live show Hollywood Babble-On. He is known for /participating in long, humorous Q&A sessions that are often filmed for DVD release, beginning with An Evening with Kevin Smith.
Watching Kevin Smith talk for hours on end will always be worth the $80 you'll pay to see him. But what other stand up comedians will tellyou a story about J-Lo taking a dump at your place, wiping with your handtowel(due to lack of toiletpaper), then stealing it! Funny!
although i follow him on twitter, listen to smodcasts, watch his movies and play against him in the walter gretzky ball hockey tourney each year, he never ceases to amaze me. ksmith openly talks about his life, his work and hollywood for 3 or 4...or more hours. aside from stints on the actors studio, name one other star who does this? not only do i appreciate his openness, i also appreciate the fact that he's approachable and answers ANY question about his life that's asked. and when i say "any", i really do mean ANY! if you doubt me, just ask him about his fissure!
