If you’re in the mood for a heartfelt and nostalgic rom com, look no further than Kevin Smith’s latest film, The 4:30 Movie. We got the chance to speak with Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, a Siena Agudong.
Synopsis: Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story — set in the summer of 1986 — that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. Justin Long, Rosario Dawson, Jason Biggs, and more contribute outrageous characters to this poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the ’80s.
The full cast includes Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, Siena Agudong, Betty Aberlin, Diedrich Bader, Ralph Garman, Kate Micucci, Jenny Mollen, Genesis Rodriguez, and Jennifer Schwalbach along with Jason Mewes, Jason Lee, Logic, Rachel Dratch, Adam Pally, Sam Richardson, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, and Harley Quinn Smith.
Check out our interview with the cast of The 4:30 Movie:
This movie is so fun to watch. It is loosely based on Kevin Smith’s own experiences of sneaking into movie theaters as a teenager and the shenanigans that ensued. Another fun fact about the film is that it was filmed at Smodcastle Cinemas, a New Jersey movie theater that Smith co-owns.
