Jay & Silent Bob
The Backlot Perth are hosting special event screenings of 'Jay & Silent Bob Reboot' on 19 and 21 March. Jay & Silent Bob have discovered that a reboot of the 'Bluntman & Chronic' movie is being made, so they head off to ChronicCon in Hollywood to stop it. This movie takes on remakes, reboots and sequels, while simultaneously being all three! Filled to the brim with cameo appearances from myriad past characters in the View Askewniverse, as well as some new, but very familiar, faces.
