THIS IS GWAR
Special Screening & Q&A With Kevin Smith
at Smodcastle Cinemas on August 30th
40th Anniversary Tour Starts in May!
Smodcastle Cinemas, owned by filmmaker and pop culture icon Kevin Smith, will host a special screening of THIS IS GWAR on Saturday, August 30th, in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. This definitive documentary dives into the wild and blood-soaked history of GWAR, the most outrageous band in shock rock, chronicling their rise from underground misfits to intergalactic legends.
Following the screening, Kevin Smith himself will host an exclusive Q&A with members of GWAR, offering fans an inside look at the band’s decades-long reign of chaos. For the ultimate GWAR experience, attendees will also have the chance to participate in a photo op with Kevin and GWAR members in their blood-soaked battle armor.
“As a relic of the 90’s, I’m happy to help celebrate these bloody legends who’ve been enthralling audiences since the 80’s!” says Kevin Smith. “GWAR has not only stayed true to their gruesome roots all this time, they’ve also carved out their place in industry history.”
GWAR’s The Berserker Blöthar aka Dr. Michael Bishop, Ph.D., adds:
“You ridiculous humans could learn a few things from Kevin Smith. If you’ve seen any of his movies, you probably already have. He wrote the 37 dicks scene (genius), he cast Alanis Morissette as God, he’s the King of Jorts, and he is GWAR approved. We are stoked to get stoned and hang out at his theater drinking watered-down soda and answering the questions of our pimply-faced legion of fans.”
🎟 Ticket Options:

About GWAR:
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!
