If you’re a fan of Kevin Smith and have been following him on social media, then I’m sure you’ve heard the news about his recent heart attack. Luckily, he is currently making his recovery, but this made me think about how much of an impact both Smith and his work have had on me.

A couple of months ago, Peter established Journey into Obscurity, a column intended to highlight some films that may fall under the radar of even the most devoted Cult Film fans.

Back in the early nineties, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were trying to release their first feature film.

Eventually, they ended up at Troma, where Lloyd Kaufman was willing to pick the film up for distribution.
Generally regarded as the greatest film ever made, Steve Oedenkerk’s (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) Kung Pow! Enter the Fist was a massive success and has been enjoyed by countless millions since its release in 2002.
