FUNimation has sent us some information on
Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi, a new title that has a lot of people talking. Kevin Smith is a
huge Degrassi fan, and jumped at the opportunity to appear on the series in a three-episode arc. FUNimation is releasing the disc in two versions; rated, and unrated (wooohooo!).
Snoogans! What are Jay and Silent Bob doing in Canada? Rewind. what are they doing at DEGRASSI?
One major perk to being a director is that you can live out your fantasies. Kevin Smith's fantasy? To be featured in a three episode arc of Degrassi: The Next Generation!
Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes (Clerks... nuff said) head north to film their next movie in which their alter egos are forced to go back to high school, called "Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?" And what better high school to shoot at than Degrassi Community School? But drama ensues even before the cameras begin to roll!
This director's cut edition is a MUST WATCH for any fan of Kevin Smith or Degrassi. Your library (Smith, Degrassi or otherwise) will not be complete without this DVD.
The unrated edition contains a totally unrated version of the episodes (*gasp* an unrated
Degrassi?!?).
