Kevin Smith made his directorial debut in 1994, with the low-budget indie darling Clerks. More than a quarter-century later, he is treating us to a third installment: Clerks III, which is set to release this autumn. Before you see it in cinemas, you should definitely watch Clerks and its sequel, Clerks II.
Hardcore fans of Smith will know there's a larger film universe encompassing more of his films - nine, to be exact. It's called the View Askewniverse. (Smith's production company is called View Askew Productions.) Smith wrote and directed every film in this universe. Most of them feature the characters Jay and Silent Bob, played by Jason Mewes and Smith, respectively. Another recurring actor in the View Askewniverse is Ben Affleck, who's credited as playing seven different characters across eight films. He'll even have a cameo in Clerks III.
But the films in the View Askewniverse didn't release chronologically. According to Smith, the events that happened in 1995's Mallrats actually occurred about a day before the events of 1994's Clerks. If you want to watch all of Smith's films in chronological order ahead of seeing Clerks III in September, we've rounded them up and explained the best way to watch them.Â
