Isn't that kind of what Jersey Girl was about, albeit one guy, not two? A guy in his 30s trying to find his place?
I read News Askew also. Although not as often anymore. The problem with being a Kevin Smith-sanctioned site means that you have to be 100% gung-ho about everything the man does. And let's face it...the man does NOT take criticism well.

I think it can work. I trust Kevin Smith to write a funny and thoughtful script and I trust Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson to portray Dante and Randal. I'll be in line to see it opening day.

I hope it works. Listen, I'm confident that Kevin can write new material for J&SB until the cows come home, and it'll be funny most of the time, especially because Kevin's target audience is the dick-and-fart-joke demographic. It's just a matter of whether he wants to escape that. Jersey Girl was his first attempt. So it didn't work. That's okay. But I just can't help but feel that Kevin's running back home with his tail between his legs.
