Dude so wanted to pick Michael's brain about playing Lex but realized he was the one being interviewed. Michael should feel like a million bucks. That was awesome.
I'm really looking forward to the podcast when the new Superman movie is about to come out and Michael and Nicholas just talk about playing the role of Lex together
Michael is apart of history in terms of being lex, did a phenomenal job. I felt he set the standard as modern live action lex not to mention he was voicing Wally West around the same time as Smallville. He's a part of some iconic stuff.
@@jesseowenvillamor6348 All Star Supes is considered a bit of a watershed moment. One of the very best stories for the character and Comics in general.
The note Michael gave Nicholas about being charismatic with an undertone of rage was fundamental but perfect! Backed up with the description of an emotional event to draw from and the freedom to explore the character, I could see the moment the penny dropped. A great passing of the torch moment!
Yo a podcast episode with David Corenswet and Tom Welling chatting about their experiences being Superman once the movie comes out would be legit as hell
@@chrisb5243Tom would say he isn’t Superman. He signed on to Smallville to play Clark Kent, he had no interest in actually playing Superman because he found the human side to be more interesting
Nicholas is such a warm, genuine young man and this episode was a treat to listen to and I wish him every success with his forthcoming role as Lex Luthor🙂
First generation Skins has one of the most insane young casts looking back: Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel and Daniel Kaluuya! Also Joe Dempsie, Hannah Murray (GoT), Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Kaya Scodelario. What a talent pool. It's also such a shock to remember Peter Capaldi was in it.
The first ten mins hit me in the feels. Lex's first Lex!!! Could tell it meant a lot to both gentleman. For the British contingent, referencing Smallville on Channel 4, during T4, was a nostalgia blast. It was an institution for the young and the hungover.
Nicholas is a phenomenal actor, he went criminally underused as Beast in the X-Men movies, so it’ll be awesome to see him tackling a role like Lex that REFUSES to be ignored.
Loving this episode. I like how the best Lex ever is giving advice to the new Lex. Nicholas is going to do a great job. I remember watching him in About a Boy. He is such a talented actor. Also loved his X man role. Best podcast ever!
Loved Nicholas in Warm Bodies and my goodness he is too delightful in The Great. I honestly didn't watch all of Smallville, but I watched the first two seasons and his Lex Luthor and the dynamic with his father is what comes to my mind. Much more than Tom as Superman(no hate to Tom).
22:00 Wow Nicholas Hoult knows his subject (or maybe it's James Gunn who told him about it lol) but anyways All Star Superman is one of the best comics of Superman, it's cool to see an actor who seems to have done his research ! I can't wait to see his version of Lex.
I love Nicholas Hoult he's incredible from Warm Bodies to X Men to The Menu to Renfield whatever role he's in he knocks it out of the park he's a Legend I'm beyond excited to see how he plays Lex
Michael, in my opinion, you have been the best Lex to date... and it's not even close. I'm a big Hackman fan, but you gave Lex layers that no one has before or since. Nicholas, break a leg, brother. I am looking forward to your take. I hope you pass the high bar Michael set.
Very cool, the fact that Smallville was Nicholas' first Lex and that it meant so much to Rosey was really heartwarming to see. Gonna fancast for a moment, it would be really cool to have Rosey play Lionel Luthor in the Gunn movies, just sayin'... plus he could keep his hair!
I can see Gunn giving him a cameo. He gave him a small role in Guardians, so I have 0 doubt he’ll give him a cameo in the new DCU somewhere. Having him play Lionel would be too on the nose though.
Handled the sensitive topic of Nicholas not wanting to go into something that was very personal to him. Very well done handling that uncomfortable moment making Nicholas feel at ease while interviewing him.
I mentioned this before, but this is honestly one of my favorite Podcasts and youtube channels. It almost feels like a crime that you don't have over a million subscribers. The guests are amazing. The interactions and discussions are genuine, interesting, heartfelt and many times, funny. Thank you Michael for making us smile and laugh week after week and giving us a chance to look Inside of You, and in turn, Inside of Us.
Completely agree, really get to know these celebrities at a personal level with his long duration interviews. Just shows how fake their 5 minute ones are on the talk shows like Kimmel and Fallon
@@ARBLACKxThat’s because in those interviews they’re promoting their work and doing stories/anecdotes. While here they can open up about their personal histories and experiences. So far a few of my favorite recent guests are Michael Biehn, James Gunn, Mark Sheppard, Katee Sackhoff and Kumail Nanjiani.
Love how Micheal humanizes and brings out a real positive energy from every guest. Really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait to see the follow up and his performance!
As a millennial from the South West of the UK, Skins was my absolute favourite thing. I've loved watching Nick, Joe and Dev go on to such incredible carers the past couple of decades.
What a Mensch Rosenbaum is. The grace and kindness he showed to Nicholas is unparalleled. Love how the og Lex is passing the torch to the new one. Truly epic ❤️❤️🙏.
Never saw his career coming this far watching Warm bodies. That was a film i watched on a whim and ended up really liking. Glad to see how far his come.
The best way I can describe this whole segment is it's basically big brother and little brother uniting together and the big brother handing down the torch to his little brother in full confidence that he knows he's going to do a good job and at the same time he's also humbled and honored that his younger brother looked up to his older brother for inspiration
Awesome to see Michael's reaction to how he was Nicholas' first Lex. The good advice Michael gives, under James Gunn's direction, we're definitely getting peak Lex Luthor in the DCU! Nicholas will be amazing. Wonderful to see the role whether it's in film or TV impacts someone's life. Now Nicholas will be Lex for kids today and kids being born. I can't wait for Superman!
I saw Gunn shared this and flew straight over to youtube. What a lovely interview and you always give so much, Michael. Im sure Nicholas felt some extra peer confidence after this. He is so nice and super talented. Creatives all need that support. 🥰
I finished watching Warm Bodies with my gf last weekend, and I've seen Nicholas in other films such as The Menu, X-Men First Class, and X-Men Days of Futures Past. He's an absolutely tremendous actor and I can't wait to see his portrayal of Lex.
An awesome chat. Nicholas is a fantastic actor. The range he has covered is amazing. And the new Lex. Definitely will be a wild & fun ride with this new Superman film Cannot wait to see him return, after the film. A Lex & Lex dialogue
Nick is a good dude, he comes from my home town & went to the gym my girlfriend worked at, after a late shift my girlfriend was waiting outside in the dark & Nick waited with her until her mum showed up, nothing weird about it - he just was being kind.
Some people wear that on their face and i always assumed it of him. Very nice seeming n in a way will be great for Lex cuz you’ll like him and be charmed
I have pretty much grown up watching Nicholas Hoult as we're both around the same age group, he's 4 years younger than me and it has been a real blast to watch him mature into an amazing actor in his own right. I've been a fan of his since his Skins day, he is going to absolutely kill it as Lex Luthor and i can't wait to see him in action.
This has to be a highlight of the podcast. Seeing Michael give advice and pass on his techniques to the next person to play his most iconic role of Lex Luthor is special.
This was great, the Lex chat between them really pulled me in, great character, two great guys! And Nic referencing smallville on channel 4 really took me back to my late teens
This episode was so lovely, probably one of my favorite episodes to date. 🥺 I’m hoping that Nicholas Hoult and James Gunn both agreeing that Michael’s Lex was the best is a good sign for how Lex is going to be presented in the movie. None of the other live action Lexes have really resonated with me, but Nicholas is an exceptional actor and has the right look for him, so I’m very optimistic about the movie!
What a lovely interview with a lovely guy. Great one Rosey! I love how much reverence Nicholas has for those who played the role before him. I'm so glad there are actors who will watch previous iterations of a popular character they will be playing. It gives me hope for a faithful adaptation.
1:07:55 ahah well done Michael for inviting yourself to the premiere 😂 Personally I will go at the premiere to Paris to the Grand Rex (because I'm French) but I hope that Michael you will really be there (we will see that the day of its release...), anyways, you really deserve to be invited because you are and will always be the best Lex Luthor (try to bring Tom Welling with you? It would be funny and nice to see you both at the premiere)
Incredible interview, Nicholas was so open and so great, you can tell he cares about acting and not the rest of the BS. Great questions Michael, you are our Lex always.
Many thanks to Rosey, Ryan and Nicholas! 🤩 I first saw Mr. Hoult in ABOUT A BOY (2002), then in THE WEATHER MAN (2005). By the time I watched him in two seasons of SKINS (2007) he was solidified as a talent to keep track of and I've happily done so all these years. I'm looking very forward to seeing his take on the 'Lex Luthor' character.
michael's take on lex was extremely nuanced, which is why his portrayal remains the best live action take clancy brown's take on lex is the best animated i think that nick should reach back to the character he portrayed in skins for use as lex
That was actually a really fantastic low key impression of Anthony Hopkins to be fair. He got his very light Welsh accent and his intonations just right and even stared off into the distance, like Sir Anthony does when he's being himself. That was dead on.
nick fanboying is great and i think it's something good ole lex(michael) needs to hear more often ♥ he was not the first lex i saw but he was the best lex by far
It always kind of makes me smile a little bit whenever two like well-known or semi-well known actors meet and it turns out they're actually fans of eachother. It just creates such an interesting, human atmosphere I think. Also Rosenbaum is really good as an interviewer (when he doesn't talk over his guests). But he really kind of seems to create a really good vibe that makes these people actually like being there, just talking like a regular human person.
Thanks for yet another good episode! 🥂🥂🍻🍻 Wishing Nic very best in role of Lex, which has been perfected by you (IMO). He's certainly has to fill big shoes!
Lex talking to Lex about Lex. Love it! Please interview David Corenswet next. He has a new movie coming out next month so now’s the perfect time. I really want to know more about the new Man of Steel.
Fury Road was the first thing I'd seen Nicholas in, and I've loved everything I've seen him in since. And I've gotta say, I never imagined him as Lex Luthor but I have no doubt he'll knock it out of the park.
This is awesome. Michael, you were hands down, the absolute best Lex. And it’s so brilliant to see you talking to the next Lex. Nicholas is a fantastic actor and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does.
Meeting of the Luthors! I was wondering it be cool if you had him on. Which means you've got to get Corenswet and Brosnahan on. Also I love Michael being that supportive older brother here giving him solid advice and how much Nicholas himself wants to hear Michael’s opinion and wisdom
I'm currently half way through Smallville reruns. I loved the show when it was first on. Always been a huge fan and supporter of Michael's. A couple of years ago I was really struggling with mental health and anxiety issues. I was spending a lot of time in solitude in a bad thinking pattern. I put Smallville on and it really helped take my mind off all the things that I was struggling with, which led me to the podcast which led me to getting better, getting healthier, mentally and physically. Without knowing it, Michael really helped me out of myself and to now living a much better life. The little things that have a knock on effect onto the big things. Nicholas Holt was absolutely brilliant in the Great. Really enjoyed it. Such a good actor and really funny too.
It was so awesome to have Nicholas on the podcast. He was so excited to talk Lex with Michael, I think he could have spent the whole hour on that subject. I love Nick and I agree he is excellent in everything that he is in but I’m not gonna lie, I had my reservations about him being Lex but after this podcast learning that he is a big fan of Michael’s Lex and the fact that he casually brought up All Star Superman has me feeling he is on the right path.
Really looking forward to Hoult's version of Lex. He's a great actor; did an amazing job as Beast, so we already know he's got some cachet in the superhero genre. fury Road is one of my favorite movies and Nux was such a great character in that; very likable and tragic in so many ways - easily the best character in the movie as far as I'm concerned. Dude just seems like a genuine and likable guy. Really hope he makes good on his promise to come back to the pod. Great job as always Rosey!
Michael realizing he was Hoult's first Lex Luthor was pretty damn heartwarming.
DC Comics roles and the legacy they hold is always nice to see
Michael was my 3rd live Lex. But still my favorite.
Maybe heartwarming to you but it makes everyone else feel old lol
I never minded Jessie Eisenberg’s
He had Clancy Brown
That was my favourite moment
It’s always nice to see two Lexs hanging out together
You should be worried, Clark
Haha facts can’t wait for Hoult’s Lex loved the podcast as well
Get Jesse Eisenberg on the show too and have all three plan Clark's/Kal's demise.
Hopefully he'll be better than eisenburg

I was so excited to see this episode after Rosenbaum mentioned he did an episode with him, it also feels so surreal seeing a big actor on this podcast
Seen him grow up in the public eye ever since About a Boy and he genuinely seems like a nice chap.
Anyone from the u.k born in the 90s will always remember Nicholas as Tony from skins.
Yes.
First generation Skins has one of the most insane young casts looking back: Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel and Daniel Kaluuya! Also Joe Dempsie, Hannah Murray (GoT), Aimee-Ffion Edwards and Kaya Scodelario. What a talent pool.
It's also such a shock to remember Peter Capaldi was in it.
I have no idea how, but I remember watching Skins in the 90s until they changed the cast, and I lost interest. West Virginia is far from the u.k. 😅
First generation was the best. Second was good but not as interesting as the first. The rest went downhill after that@@roadrollerdio565

He was so great in Warm Bodies! Great movie and actor!
This podcast is such a gift
This is awesome. Michael, you were hands down, the absolute best Lex. And it’s so brilliant to see you talking to the next Lex. Nicholas is a fantastic actor and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does.
This was a great chat! Looking forward to seeing Nicholas's Lex and the follow up once its out
Meeting of the Luthors! I was wondering it be cool if you had him on. Which means you've got to get Corenswet and Brosnahan on. Also I love Michael being that supportive older brother here giving him solid advice and how much Nicholas himself wants to hear Michael’s opinion and wisdom
I'm currently half way through Smallville reruns. I loved the show when it was first on. Always been a huge fan and supporter of Michael's. A couple of years ago I was really struggling with mental health and anxiety issues. I was spending a lot of time in solitude in a bad thinking pattern. I put Smallville on and it really helped take my mind off all the things that I was struggling with, which led me to the podcast which led me to getting better, getting healthier, mentally and physically. Without knowing it, Michael really helped me out of myself and to now living a much better life. The little things that have a knock on effect onto the big things. Nicholas Holt was absolutely brilliant in the Great. Really enjoyed it. Such a good actor and really funny too.
It was so awesome to have Nicholas on the podcast. He was so excited to talk Lex with Michael, I think he could have spent the whole hour on that subject. I love Nick and I agree he is excellent in everything that he is in but I’m not gonna lie, I had my reservations about him being Lex but after this podcast learning that he is a big fan of Michael’s Lex and the fact that he casually brought up All Star Superman has me feeling he is on the right path.
I've met him...could not be nicer. He and Jennifer Lawrence. Huge proponents of " know your lines " backwards and forwards respect. Takes work
To answer Nick's question, Smallville was shown in the UK on Channel 4 (during the T4 all-weekend show), usually on Sunday afternoons.
Lex Luthors in the house lol. This is the biggest unexpected surprise and Michael Rosenbaum has out done himself really well.
for the crazy roll it was his acting in Renfield was great.
Really looking forward to Hoult's version of Lex. He's a great actor; did an amazing job as Beast, so we already know he's got some cachet in the superhero genre. fury Road is one of my favorite movies and Nux was such a great character in that; very likable and tragic in so many ways - easily the best character in the movie as far as I'm concerned. Dude just seems like a genuine and likable guy. Really hope he makes good on his promise to come back to the pod. Great job as always Rosey!
