With The 4:30 Movie, writer-director Kevin Smith arguably presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story, as set in the summer of 1986. The 4:30 Movie 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 and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans. The 4:30 Movie serves as a poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the 1980s.

The star-studded cast of The 4:30 Movie includes Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup, Siena Agudong, Betty Aberlin, Diedrich Bader, Jason Biggs, Rosario Dawson, Rachel Dratch, Ralph Garman, Jason Lee, Logic, Justin Long, Jason Mewes, Kate Micucci, Jenny Mollen, Adam Pally, Sam Richardson, Genesis Rodriguez, Jennifer Schwalbach, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Harley Quinn Smith and Ken Jeong. The 87-minute film is being distributed by Saban Films and will be out in theaters later this week on September 13, 2024.

In September 2024, I had the pleasure of speaking with The 4:30 Movie stars Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo, Reed Northrup and Siena Agudong via Zoom, as embedded above and set to air via the Long Beach, New York-based Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz television series.
