Zack and Miri Make A Porno (Episode 12) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky

2008's Zack and Miri Make A Porno was Kevin Smith's most expensive, most high profile film at the time so a lot was riding on it's success.  Could Seth Rogen prove his star turn in the prior year's Knocked Up wasn't a fluke?  Could Elizabeth Banks (replacing the previously announced Rosario Dawson) hold her own in her first headlining vehicle?  Could a hard R movie with the word "Porno" in it's title be a crossover hit? Would this finally be Kevin Smith's entre into mainstream Hollywood? Well everyone involved went on to flourishing careers, but Zack and Miri Make a Porno would not be the raucous hit Harvey Weinstein was hoping for.  He had a hard time getting news outlets to run ads for the film, famously fought with director Kevin Smith over the film's marketing, and had the misfortune to release it amidst the most damaging recession since the 20's.  On their Hot Date, Vicky gives us a little background on the career of Kevin Smith, tells us about her recent love for everything Sherlock and wonders who the hell T.I. is.  Dan talks about his alien encounters (!), why being an asshole on film sets makes you famous and his new found appreciation for Justin Long.   And yeah, lots of porno talk!  The Zack and Miri kind.   Enjoy Hot Date 12.  Our dirtiest date yet!
