would die if he had to run around getting permission for all those clips
it is fair use commentary, that makes fun of fuck ups in movies (like companies are going to authorize that) |
I'm sure it is only his podcast and not the millions of fans he has built up over a career of making movies. IMDB says that Kevin Smith has directed 17 different things. Of what they have listed I have seen 7 of those. I am obviously not the biggest Kevin Smith fan in the world, but I do consider myself a fan of his and I have never heard of his podcast, yet I still heard about him taking Red State on the road.
Still, if he is using those clips in a legitimate fair use way he should still have no problem. If a copyright holder filed a complaint against him he might have to prove the fair use rights, but so long as he is not doing anything shady he should have no worries.
