View Askewniverse - Watch Order: Story Timeline

1994 - 20228 Films13h 56m3.7 Average

This chronological watch order follows the View Askewniverse storyline as it unfolds within the fictional timeline, rather than by release date. Mallrats takes place approximately one day before the events of Clerks, despite being released a year later.

Watching in Story Timeline order provides a slightly more natural narrative flow but doesn't change the viewing experience in a major way.
