That’s right, that pesky duo are back with another movie. Its been 18 years since Jay & Silent Bob graced the big screen with “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back” and they are back with a sequel to that movie. Not only is it a sequel for Strike Back, but basically every single View Askewiverse movie Kevin Smith has ever made.
Going over the trailer this morning it looks like we are in for one hell of a cameo appearance movie. We see the likes of Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Hemsworth, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek and many more to pop up.
The overview of the movie is that Jay & Silent Bob return to Hollywood to stop the reboot of their “Bluntman & Chronic” movie getting made. Sounds alot like Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, so expect similar jokes and lots of witty references.
Jay & Silent Bob Reboot is expected to hit cinemas later this year
Do you feel the need for speed? Well, we do! Thats right people…after 34 years since the original Top Gun release, the sequel is finally here!
San Diego Comic Con has kicked off over night, and the first wave of trailers have started to hit the internet. Tom Cruise surprised the crowd in Hall H by showing up on stage right after the conclusion to the Terminator: Dark Fate panel and unveiled the trailer.
To me, Top Gun is still one of the greatest movies ever made. Mind you, i was only 4 years old when the movie first came out. 34 years on, we now have a sequel.
While the plot line for the movie is still unknown, the trailer does give us a look at some incredible footage from the movie. What we do know is that both Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer are both back in their roles as Maverick & Iceman. Let us know what you think.
Top Gun: Maverick is due to hit cinemas in June/July 2020.

Starting in 2016, Ryugi started as a series of breakin’ battles to help liven the local street dance scene. This time they’ve brought it back to the roots with the party vibes hosting the event at Ching-a-Lings bar and having toprock battles as this events concept.
Many laughs and drinks were had while bboys and bgirls battled for glory of becoming the toprock champion but in the end Bboy Chico took the W in the end!
The Kickz Stand was one of the sponsors and helped everyone who came down stay fresh with chance to win new kicks, G-Shocks and accessories. Check out below of just a sample of what went down and check out Ryugi 〜流儀〜 over on Facebook for more.
The crazy off-season of trades continues, with another HUGE trade today. This time around, between Houston Rockets & Oklahoma City Thunder.
Russell Westbrook is heading to Houston after a deal was reached between Houston and Oklahoma were Houston will send Chris Paul and first round picks in 2024 & 2026, along with pick swaps in 2021 & 2025 for the one time NBA MVP Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook will now reunite with former team mate James Harden where when they were playing along side each other in Oklahoma caused some damage together.
This is just one crazy trade in what has been a crazy few weeks of off-season trades in the NBA. All we can say is bring on the 2019/20 season. It’s anyone’s game at the moment.
The “It’s More Than Just Sneakers” tour finally hit Melbourne on Saturday 29th June. This marks the first time this tour stops in The Garden State and I was curious to see what the city had to offer. Having been to previous IMTJS events in Sydney, I had an idea of how the day was going to play out but was keen to see how the Melbourne locals add their flavour to it. The Friday before the event, my car was packed, my son was excited (also because he took a day off school) and we started our 9+ hour drive down to Melbourne with high expectations.
It’s More Than Just Sneakers – Melbourne 2019 by KIXPLORE
The event officially started at 11am at Batman Royale in Coburg. My son and I were part of the volunteer group who helped set up the event so we had a sneak peak of how big this event was going to be. Tables were set up for the 60 vendors that were going to showcase their products, stage was set up and the performers were doing their mic checks, food and drink vendors arrived and were getting ready to feed the masses, modified cars from Dragon Motorsport were carefully positioning themselves for a showroom like display. This was shaping up to be a different type of event.
I had one of the best jobs in the event as I was working the front door, welcoming everyone as I collected the entry fee while my son was handing out the wristbands and raffle ticket. Roughly 1500 people came through those doors and everyone seemed excited to see what this event would bring. I don’t think they were disappointed. Vendors had almost anything “street” culture had to offer and the vendors were more than happy to have a chat about their products (and maybe even give a good deal). While you were walking around deciding what to spend your money on, performances from the talented Voltak and Bay City Boys kept you entertained. If you wanted a good feed, the crew at Gorilla Grill and Bao x Waffle were at their best, serving up juicy burgers or tasty bao’s. The Refresher Truck did exactly what you think they do and kept you refreshed with smoothies, juices and coffee.
Similar to other IMTJS events, the hourly raffle drew a lot of interest and I can understand why. This event gave away approximately $6000 worth of prizes which included items such as GShock watch, 3 x $200 Foot Locker Gift Vouchers and full collection of the Star Wars x Bata Heritage collection (which did not release in Australia). Working at the front door, I saw so many people walk out smiling while holding onto their prize. Here’s a tip for anyone who attends future IMTJS events: PrePay your entry ticket! This gives you 3 tickets instead of one. Otherwise, check your pockets for any loose change and buy extra tickets for $1 a ticket.
Overall, this was a great event but I haven’t even mentioned my favourite part yet! I love the Sydney event because it gives me a chance to catch up with others who have the same interest as me and talk about what they are now rocking on their feet or tell stories of how they were able to cop (or miss out on) their grails. This same vibe and conversations were present in Melbourne too but this time I actually got to meet different people who I’ve only met by reading their posts on The Kickz Stand pages. From the volunteers I worked with, to some of the vendors and even to people who I bought some kicks off previously it was great to finally meet our broader community.
Oh, did I mention all this was happening
while the rain was coming down hard! Not even the bad weather could have ruined
this event.
Can’t wait to do it all again next year but in the meantime, BRISBANE, your next!

After the release of the live action versions of Aladdin and Lion King it was only a matter of time til they made one of the Oriental favourites into one too. Mulan is already in the making and interests are high. But there has been some controversy already regarding some of the songs and characters in the original film that might not make an appearance in the live adaptation.
Will Mushu make the cut? I guess only time will tell as there are not any premier dates give yet. But for now let’s just enjoy the teaser
