Win Tickets to the Jay & Silent Bob Reboot Roadshow

Throughout the 90s and into the 2000s, Kevin Smith made movies that defined a generation. Clerks, Mallrats, and Dogma are just a few of his many iconic films. Because of these films, we all look at chocolate covered pretzels in a different way, think of Alanis Morisette as God, and have said "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" on more than one occasion. These movies gave us some of our favorite characters of all time, and the two that top that list are Jay & Silent Bob.

It has been twenty-five years since the release of Clerks, and Jay & Silent Bob are still at it and have a new movie, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. In the movie, the two friends, "return to Hollywood to stop a reboot of 'Bluntman and Chronic' movie from getting made." If you know anything about this duo, you know there will be more to the story than this and that it will be hilarious. The film also stars fan favorites like Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Jason Lee, among others. See the full cast list here and check out the official trailer below.

This Tuesday, October 22nd, you have a chance to see the film for yourself with the one and only Jay & Silent Bob. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith are coming to town to watch their new movie with you at The Fillmore in Detroit. Tickets to this awesome event start at $29 and can be purchased in advance here. Thanks to our friends at The Fillmore and Live Nation Detroit, we are giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky reader. To enter to win, send your name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with #reboot in the subject line. We will draw our winner on Monday morning and will send them details on how to claim their prize. Good luck!
