Love or hate him, Kevin Smith has built up quite a rapport with his fans over the years, primarily through ridiculously extensive and in-depth Q and A sessions. His last special Too Fat For 40 managed to cover one person’s question in an hour and a half. In his new appropriately titled special, Burn In Hell, Smith will cover several new topics fans want to hear about, such as dealing with Sundance, filming Red State and being followed around the country by an angered Phelps family.
Smith has a real knack for making himself familiar to any audience and even if you’re not the biggest fans of his movies, you have to respect his process. There aren’t too many directors out there that are willing to share the amount of information he does, especially about the Hollywood process and all the bullshit that goes with it.
I don’t know everything that’s in store for his forthcoming special, but based on what I’ve seen it will at least be very entertaining. Below are a couple of clips regarding groupies and filming in Austin, Texas for Red State.
The new special, Burn in Hell will come to Epix February 11th.

I love Kevin Smith’s Live DVD’s.
I own everything (inlcuding the too fat for 40)and download his ‘get old’ podcast. I think he delivers a story like no-one else and I simply cannot wait for this one. I enjoy it when the audience asks him many questions (like in the first dvd) so hopefully this is more like that
Just thought I’d warn everyone who’s excited to watch the premiere Sunday that Smith does slightly spoil the end of Red State, but his discussion of the alternate ending as well as the stories surrounding the Phelps centered around the protests of that film are absolutely priceless.
