SModcastle

edit

After the first SMod tour, Smith mused in a tweet about having a theater solely for the purpose of recording his SModcast Network shows. Seeing this, Bagged & Boarded's Matt Cohen searched for and found a smallblack box theatrethat would become SModcastle, the "World's First Podcast Theater". SModcastle was located at 6468 Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles and had its opening night on July 25, 2010. SModcastle was used for live recordings ofSModcast,Blow HardandJay & Silent Bob Get Old,"Bagged & Boarded", and more. It was also used forNHL video gametournaments, showing movies and weddings performed by Smith who is an ordained minister.[3]

However, SModcastle held only 50 seats and two shows recorded there were popular enough to regularly sell out, which led Smith to search for a larger Venue to record them in and found The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club (later called The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre). Smith successfully moved both the live recordings ofHollywood Babble-OnandJay & Silent Bob Get Oldto the new venue. Several months after this, Smith announced the SModcastle will be shutting down and will re-open under the name ofSModcastle Loungein the top floor of The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre but theSModcastle Loungenever came to be. The final recording night in SModcastle took place on June 29, 2011.[4]Of all the shows that featured at SModcastle, onlyHollywood Babble-OnandJay & Silent Bob Get Oldcontinued regularly at The Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theatre until April 2013.
