As we wrap up Kevin Smith’s friends month, we take a look at the films of Jason Mewes. First up, he directs himself as he seeks to become a method actor in MADNESS IN THE METHOD. Then, just in time for July 4th, a slasher killer in a Ronald Regan mask kills off hippies at a music festival in THE TRIPPER.

Kevin Smith’s friends keep making movies so we keep dragging this concept out. First up, a guy who sits behind the counter at a record store is probably not supposed to be there today in PARADISE RECORDS. Then, a druggie punk singer gets kidnapped and forced to get clean in WRONG REASONS.
