Yoga Hosers Kevin Smith

Even though Tusk hasn't yet been released in theaters, Kevin Smith is hard at work on another podcast-inspired movie. Smith has just completed the first draft of a new script called Yoga-Hosers, which is based on Smodcast 288: Yoga Hosers. In a Facebook post, Smith wrote, "Finishing a new SModcast Picture script. It has roots in TUSK, so your #WalrusYes votes went a long way. Thanks!" Tusk was based on a classified ad that Smith talked about during a podcast, and it appears that Yoga-Hosers will be about a newspaper article that Smith talked about during a podcast. In Smodcast 288, Scott Mosier coined the term "yoga hoser," while Kevin Smith was reading an Edmonton Journal article about a man charged with possessing a stolen artifact. According to the story, a stolen artifact valued at $1.2 million sat on a bookshelf in an Edmonton apartment above a plastic Star Wars spaceship for 2 years. Simon Metke had bought the statue from someone else, and he didn't realize the value of the item until a team of police officers working with Quebec RCMP's Integrated Art Crime Investigation Team banged on his door. The Edmonton Journal quotes Metke, who they note was sitting in his apartment cross-legged, as saying, "There's like 20 RCMP officers flooding my place, the sunshine's coming in, the crystals are making rainbows everywhere, the bougainvillea flowers are glowing in the sunrise light." When reading the article, Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier embellished the article with Canadian accents, cracking up at some of the more unusual statements in the article.
