Unpacking the "Aural Sects": What Happens on Tour?
The name "Aural Sects" is a classic Kevin Smith pun, a cheeky nod to his fanbase—the "Sect" of listeners who tune into his podcasts and the devoted followers of the *View Askewniverse*. The show itself is an unscripted, two-man comedy and storytelling event where the performers shed their characters (mostly) to connect directly with the audience.
The format is a simple, yet highly effective, spoken-word session. Mewes and Smith sit down and use their "mouths on you for money," as they jokingly put it, to deliver a stream of consciousness narrative that covers a vast array of topics.
1. The Unseen View Askewniverse History
Fans flock to the tour for the behind-the-scenes secrets of their favorite movies. Smith and Mewes recount hilarious and often unbelievable stories from the sets of *Clerks*, *Mallrats*, *Chasing Amy*, and the more recent *Jay and Silent Bob Reboot*. They discuss the struggles of independent filmmaking, the process of getting major stars like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon involved, and the on-set shenanigans that often mirror the chaos of their films. This is where the topical authority of the show shines, as they provide an "oral history" of their entire cinematic universe.
2. Candid Confessions and Personal Growth
One of the most compelling aspects of the "Aural Sects Tour" is the openness with which the duo discusses their personal lives. Jason Mewes, in particular, has been very candid about his journey to sobriety, a topic that resonates deeply with many fans. He shares stories about the challenges of recovery, the impact of his past on his career, and the support of Kevin Smith. Smith also talks about his own major life events, including his heart attack and the experience of parenting a daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, who is now a filmmaker herself.
3. The Enduring Power of Friendship
At its core, the show is a celebration of the unique, lifelong friendship between Smith and Mewes. They have been friends since childhood, and their chemistry is palpable. The live format allows the audience to witness their natural banter, their inside jokes, and the genuine affection that has kept them working together for over three decades. This dynamic is what elevates the show from a simple Q&A to a truly entertaining and heartwarming performance.
