Same here!! I'm already on ep 13 :) I've been thinking.. when I watched the show years ago I used to see these characters older than me.. and now rewatching the series I can't avoid the thought that I'm older than them and appreciate more the Jonathan-Clark scenes.
@@MatMcB You can pretty much ask whatever you want about the current season they are on as long as you don't spoil anything for future seasons and if you feel they missed anything, you can still ask them about it. They're cool about it.
@@dansgaming2064 Yes, don’t spoil anything for future seasons, like Micheal talking about Lex being President or Lex being in an insane asylum. Lol just kidding.
I hope so, maybe once MR gets invested in the series as a viewer and gets past his episodes he’ll see how the writers didn’t handle his absence well and maybe better understand why the fans were SO frustrated when he left.
@@ermixonscraziesttheories I think the episode were Clark gose to the other earth would have been different if Michael stayed. We probably would have seen Lex as a good guy on that earth.
@@joshuarojas5543 right. Michael quit a couple years earlier, so they said Lex died by Clark Luthor. I think they did that mainly because Michael quit and no longer wanted anything to do with the show. If he didn't, I feel that episode would have been different.
Do not stop this. I believe you guys are onto something. This is like a DVD commentary exclusive for every episode. and you guys are running the show. I love it. I wouldn’t be surprised if other shows are influence by your show.
Dvd commentaries are probably the second biggest reason I collect stuff I love on physical media (much to wife's chagrin, when I immediately start rewatching something after we finish it at midnight...). Commentaries used to be the first, but finding out that Netflix (and now other streamers) gets rid of shows after selling off favorites that I thought I didn't need anymore due to online access made physical stuff even more of a priority. But yeah, insights into stuff you live just makes you love it more.
I loved this episode for Clark not only discovering a new ability and using it but an enemy that had a connection with a main side character & had an ability Clark had to counter with his X ray sight. SmallVille so good!
To answer your question about watching the show. I've started the show twice now (once when it was new, and again a couple years ago). I've never gotten past season 6. So while these episodes are a rewatch, if this podcast goes on long enough, I'll get to episodes that are new to me. I figured what a better time to watch the entire series than with the actors themselves! Thank you for doing this, I enjoy the added insight from you guys!
My favorite scene from this episode definetely is the Lex Luthor scene with the reporter when he turns the table around agaisnt the reporter, a great moment to show off the darker side of Lex
I'm rewatching the episodes right before I watch the podcast. But I didn't watch the show when it was airing (college & living on my own with no cable got in the way). I watched the whole series for the 1st time 1 yr after season 10 was over. And it's now my feel-good series.
I am watching "Smallville" for the first time. I started watching back around Feb or March and try to watch one episode per night. It's a great show and I got hooked after watching the first episode. I'm now in season nine and bummed out that I only have one more season after this one. You guys age well let me tell you, and Michael seems to have found a way to grow more hair over the last 12 years.
Hey guys, I started watching Smallville when you guys were in season 5 or 6. And actually started REwatching the series a little over a year ago with some friends that have never watched it. We're getting close to the end now, only a few episodes left in season 9. Love the show and the podcast, Rock on guys!
24:19 when Tom talks about the smile at the end of the line a good supervillain would wear a mask it’s so awesome he said that because I’m rewatching it now, because of this podcast, and I caught that watching this episode and saying that looks so genuine 😂 and it is
I rewatched the whole series.recently. It's tied form my favorite series, Star Trek, which I watched as a kid in the1960s. When Smalville was airing, each year for my birthday my best friend bough me the previous season on DVD. Each time I went to watch the latest DVDs, I'd have to watch all the previous ones. The only one I didn't watch initially on DVD the following year was Season 10, because I couldn't stand the fact that the show had ended. I grieved the ending of Smallville even more than I grieved the ending of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and maybe as much as I did the ending of original Trek. I'm really enjoying watching the two of you react to watching your own show. It's a real treat!
My favorite part of this episode is that Lana reaches out to Chloe when she has a problem and Chloe comes through for her. I really like that they are becoming friends.
You guys are hilarious, love watching the podcast. I LOVE Smallville and have rewatched it at least 6 times this podcast is such a treat. Such a fun way to rewatch :)
You guys should really bring me in around the 5th season. Having two Ryans give their input, one who's seen, and one who hasn't, that would be epic. Anyway, I've spent enough time grilling food and listening to the first season, I'll be picking this up tomorrow.
I think X-Ray was a solid episode! I really enjoyed the unexpected moments of when you'd suddenly find out a character wasn't them, but was Tina. Also lol I didn't even notice Pete's reaction until you mentioned it. Maybe he's already used to all the weird stuff in this town. 🤷♀
(SPOILERS (AGAIN)) - Lex first has a vision of becoming President in 1x06 Hourglass. There's a lady in the nursing home who can see peope's futures. But it's a vision that we see again multiple times over the years. It's a great bit of foreshadowing for who Lex will later become. I remember being so excited when I first saw that scene.
Fantastic video I have the complete series of smallville on dvd that's how im watching it has all 10 seasons a special newspaper it's awesome love you all incredible content 😊❤🎉
Smallville is my all time favorite show, I've watched Smallville at least once a year all the way through since it aired! I also just found this podcast so idk if you guys will even see this, but how would Lex have turned out if the Kents would have accepted him from the very start instead of pushing him away and giving him the cold shoulder? Would he have turned into an ally for Clark or do you think he would have turned into a villain either way?
I liked "freak of the week" episodes but I didn't really categorize them as such. Rather, I saw them as episodes that explored how the meteor shower had far-reaching effects beyond JUST Clark arriving. It added a lot of nuance and sorrow to the history of Smallville's residents, even down to their family trees and DNA, a bit like the history of Maine in IT.
Tina Greer Returns in Season 2 Visage...She takes Whitney Personality......also the episode that Michael is talking about is the episode Hourglass in S1 where Cassandra Carver shows him a vision that he is the president of the U.S.
Talking about lex having Jonathan as a father. One of my favorite lines in the series has to be when Lex tells Clark “When my dad dies, kings will come to his funeral. When your dad does, his friends will.” I don’t remember when that line comes up, but it’s always stuck with me.
@@H8nb8n That's a biblical reference, right? "Blessed are the meek, for it is they who shall inherit the earth" or something like that? I don't understand it, to be honest. How does Jonathan inherit the earth? What does that mean?
One thing I'd like to say, Tom and Michael often point out how Tom is somewhat inexperienced as an actor at that point. I want to say that I think it works really well for him portraying Clark because we see Tom figuring out Clark while Clark is at that age where he's trying to figure himself out. Tom was the right guy for this show!
Agreed. Tom has even made comments like "It literally could have been anybody" and its like NO!!! He really was the best guy for the role and I love listening to these guys talk about it!!
19:47 Michael talks about how they’ll eventually get to the S6 episode that he directs, which actually ends up answering a question I’ve been wanting to ask. Do they plan on doing literally every episode of the entire series. If the pod does last that long, then I’m all for it. Every episode.
@@Blue-ub8ld 8,9 and 10 are my favorite - it would be so sad to stop before then. (Even though there's no Michael (until the finale), there still is quite a bit of Lex looming in the background, so it would be interesting to hear his take)
Please bring in John glover for his thoughts,especially on the growth of the father son relationship then obvious demise,you guys are killin it with the podcast I’ll be here until the end 100percent and I need a mike Tom shirt with a mic in the middle in green like kryptonite
@@TalkVillePodcast I have a question for one of the next episodes "cool". In the scene where Shawn (I think is his name) walks by the candles and the flames turn to ice, was that a practical effect? and who's idea was it because I don't think that would happen lol. I'm definitely gonna call in soon and I am definitely a super fan lol
“Tina” was in an episode where she pretends to be Whitney after he had died. He had joined the military and had been gone for a while but Tina takes the place of him to get close to Lana again. She was so good at playing a crazy person 😂😂
@@elisetesdal2371 because she's in love with Lana and thought if she pretended to be him Lana will be hers. However she didn't know Lana broke up with him beforehand.
That scene with Pete has always cracked me up. Four episodes in and the kids of Smallville High are already unfazed by dead bodies falling out of random household objects🤣
I mean Chole called the town out on its lack of ignorance in the pilot. "Just because everyone else chooses to ignore the strange things that happen in this leafy little hamlet doesn't mean that they don't happen." -Chloe So I'm not surprised
I remember there is a later episode, once Clark trusts Pete with his secret, and during a conversation Pete asks if he had used his x-ray vision to look into the girls' locker room. Of course, Clark answers with a smile, Pete just says something along the lines of " my man". I guess we didn't see much of Clark using his powers as a regular teenage boy rather than for doing chores on the farm or against the meteor inflicted people.
Me it's the pocket knife lines with Jonathan when he asks Clark what he has in his hand and Clark replies it is his pocket knife and he tells him that he knows because he always has it in his left pocket. 😂😂
Man this podcast is everything! It’s been fun doing the rewatch of a show that means so much to me with my 11 year old daughter. She’s been loving the show and one of these days she says she wants to call in. :) Just two friends talking about something that was a huge part of their lives. This is what it’s about. 🌹 🌹
I genuinely love Michael and Tom. They’re both such genuine, humble and wholesome individuals. Not only that but they vibe with one another like blood brothers.
I just remeber the bloopers where they were goofing around during filming n Lionels actor was getting irritated at least in in scene. They didn't goof sound as much as Jared n Jensen on SPN from what I saw but almost.
@@azahora22 Jared & Jensen’s bloopers are absolutely hilarious. The blooper compilations could be a whole show by itself & I love how they annoy Misha and rest of the cast.
@@RuanAntunes7 yeah Jared and Jenson are legends in pranks i don't think it was to that level at all behind the scenes. but those guys also are like brothers as well and if i recall Tom and Michael saying it wasn't until long after Michael left and maybe even once the show ended that they became like brothers like they are now
Thing I love about this episode is that it's the first time we see Chloe and Lana getting along, like Chloe realizes maybe there's more to know about Lana. For me this is where the path to become best friends starts for them ♡
I'm glad Allison was brought up a bit in this episode. Sadly, we all understand how terrible things went with her in the end, but Cloe is BY FAR my favorite character in Smallville. She's like Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings: Good hearted and loyal to a fault. Clark wouldn't have gotten far without Cloe. I hope you don't shy away from talking about her... at least in the context of the show.
Her and green arrow was my fav couple on that show. When green arrow came on I was 😍. My fav scenes are from those two. I always wondered why they didn’t show more of Chloe and Oliver’s relationship bc their love scenes were ❤️. I guesss bc the show was about Clark. I was reading why green arrow never got his spin off. I def thought of ways to get around what the writers said but I do think Justin Hartley who played green arrow could have had that spin off that would have done realky well. I miss Chloe and Oliver
I’m so glad Michael pointed out Pete’s non-reaction to Tina’s mom’s body. 😂 Also, Martha’s response to Clark’s question with, “Learn to close my eyes,” is EASILY the best line in ALL of Smallville.
This episode does an effective job in showing that Clark emerging powers came gradually through various circumstances, in this case it was in the form of a headache that trigger flashes. As the series progresses we'll see different types of ways he'd discover different power set and how he harness them effectively in life. Tom sold the performance with the way he portrayed his mannerism as Clark using his X-ray Vision. I really liked the scene between him and his parents teaching him to focus his vision like a telescope. John and Annette really had great onscreen chemistry portraying The Kent's.
"Learn to close my eyes"...Probably the best mother ever😍. This is first " Martha centered" episode. Annette brought warmth to the character and she is ❤of the show. Always loved her and Clark scenes. Lizzy was great freak😀. This episode is important, although freak of the week😀... X Ray debuted🙂+ Roger Nixon debuted.
And Lionel's words to Lex in the pilot were , "You will never get anywhere with your eyes closed." Interesting contrast between the Kent and the Luthor parenting styles.
Can someone tell me what Martha meant by saying " Learn to close my eyes" ....Was that just her motherly way of saying " Mind your business Clark " ? 😅
@@__JASON__.Martha's advice is multilayered... It means that you don't need to see everything that's surrounds you. For example,sometimes people can really hurt you, so you have to be careful. And Clark literary has the ability to see through people. So he is exposed to many good but also many bad things, and he need to learn how to protect himself. Like we all do in " real life".
The reason meteor freaks become evil so fast is because the meteor rocks effect their judgement (similarly to how the red meteors effect Clark’s judgement). This is explained later on in the series and is brought up a couple times.
It depends on the person. Depends on whether it’s meteor in the water, soil, etc. Clark’s reaction is very different, as his body is reacting to the radiation, and changes him, due to his Kryptonian physiology. Humans are being mutated, not unlike how fallout from nuclear waste, or the people of Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl, altered some people and there children for generations. *Forgot to say, I agree. Just wanted to point out that not all meteor things lead to evil, madness, etc.
@@CorbCorbin Wouldn't that also imply that Smallville and its vicinities comcentrates a really higher-than-average concentration of individuals (and sometimes animals) carrying the metahuman gene at a dormant state within its population, and somehow the rocks randomly trigger the awakening of their powers and abilities in regard to their mental and emotional states, skill-sets, baseline traits and environment prior to the mutation??
@@ZUSHxH exactly, it gives powers, and power corrupts - its dependent on the person. when the son reaper kills people he thinks hes helping them when he realises he is not he kills himself. most people are corruptible so most become eveil. thats why HEROS are so important. they are people with power who choose good
Michael, Tom, Ryan, people think this show is about superman and his powers, when in actuality it's about Clark who is trying to be like his father despite being tempted by all his powers, and Lex who is giving his all not to become like his father, and ends up becoming worse. Also, start a count on the amount of times the words "My father" is said on the show. It's a lot. like. drinking-game-a-lot Best Wishes
Brilliant as always. I’d love to know what’s the coolest prop/replica/item either of you two kept from being on the show. Thanks for the great episodes! Also, will Tom appear in person again for some episodes ? (I understand why he can’t for every episode)
Honestly the acting flub Tom speaks about in regards to the scene with Lana and clark on the porch where tom repeats "Well you're lucky... you're lucky you got at least that" Really works for clark given that he's talking to his crush. It seemed like something a nervous clark would do having a legit heart to heart with Lana. I think thats why they kept it edit: I literally paused while they were speaking about this to comment but upon resuming the video Tom nails it spot on by saying clark should be nervous talking to lana. Dude that was awesome insight, Im really loving this pod
I started watching Smallville for the first time in April. During the second episode, my husband joined in and we both loved it a lot. Once we finsihed the series, I was so bummed it ended that I started watching it again after a week of looking for something similar and not finding anything as entertaining as Smallville. I am now watching it yet again using this podcast as an excuse. This show is fantastic, even to me, a middle aged wife and mother. It's even better knowing that the actors behind the characters are so humble and likable. Thank you for this podcast!
@@yomercecordero Arrow kind of turns into the "Arrowverse": Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, etc. But, as someone who adored Smallville growing up, I have to say a really like a lot of the shows.
Whenever Clark smiled in the show, I just thought it was so adorable and innocent. Then Red Clark shows up and that smile just says so many naughty things. 😎
To answer the question about the IMDB credit, its technically a spoiler but Tina appears later on in the series disguised as Whitney when he "returns" from the marine corps so she can be with Lana
I think they were showing that the “freaks” had underlying issues before they developed their powers. That’s why they didn’t focus on them being likeable people per se. They even say in the later seasons that the meteor rocks also impact the persons thoughts and that the power really gets to their head. (E.g When Pete and Lana got temporary powers). The powers emphasized issues the characters had that they tried to bury deep down. We also eventually meet meteor freaks that are actually not crazy LOL but then they wouldn’t be the type to draw attention to themselves and clark wouldn’t be saving others from them.
Loving the pod so far fellas; Tom's earnestness is super endearing and of course Rosey's humor and charm just drives it. Smallville was my jam for so many years; was obsessed with it, so this is great to remember it and get some insider info on it. Keep it up guys! And seriously, please, please get Kristen, the Johns (Schneider and Glover) and Annette on as guests at some point! this show had so many talented people working on it over the years, it'd be criminal not to get some of their insight.
Hey guys, i wanted to thank you all for the great job you guys did as actors...there was a time when i was maniacally depressed and on some days the only thing that got me through the day was bingwatching smallville...i am no longer depressed but i really want you guys to know that you really have saved some lives, i believe...this podcast is awesome and you three are great!!! Iy is kewl to hear about Ryan's experience watching for the first time...i love you all and again, thank you!!!
Can’t wait for years down the line where Michael watches the episode in Season 10 where Clark is found by Lionel and explores exactly what they talked a little bit about this episode. Loving the podcast! It’s so amazing to hear all the behind the scenes and both Michael and Tom’s perspective on the episodes!
As good of a dramatic actor Michael is, he is actually really talented at comedy also. I absolutely died of laughter with his performance in sorority boys😅.
I'm really enjoying the podcast and rewatching Smallville as a whole. X-Ray is one of my favorite Season 1 episodes. i really love the episodes when Clark gets a new power.
Some of my favorite episodes is when Clark gets new powers. Always loved Clark and Johnathan's relationship and how he helps Clark train his new ability.
I'm assiduously watching every episode of Talkville, and I always watch the episode of Smallville that's going to be discussed first. I really hope the podcast fulfills its purpose of commenting on more than 200 episodes of this great phenomenal series. I'm very excited about the idea and looking forward to finally getting to the episode that marked my life (and still marks today), and that made me stop liking the series, to start idolizing. I'm referring to season 3 episode 19 "Memoria". An episode that could be simple, but that revealed bombastic secrets about the past of Lex, Lionel, and also Clark. The episode ends with the huge difference in warmth and family love between Clark and Lex, to the tune of Evanescence's "My Immortal". I cried so much with this episode, I had dreams for several nights. Congratulations on your amazing performance. And if it's not too much to ask, I'd like John Glover to participate in this podcast specifically. Thank you so much and I wish Talkville much success. SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAVE MEEEE!!!!!!
On the rewatch i did last night I was impressed that “Lex” signs with his right hand at the bank. It’s such a subtle detail I probably missed 20 years ago but was just a perfect little addition, and it’s stuff like that which made the show phenomenal.
Smallville is the one superhero show that changes the origins and stories of a loved superhero character and not only makes it work and is accepted by most fanbase and still seem like it's just natural for superman's story to be played out like these events in the show.
One of things I think that makes season 1 so interesting is that within it, almost all of the major storylines from all the other seasons are foreshadowed or seeds for those seasons are planted. Good examples of this would be level 3 at Luthor's plant and then in season 7 when it gets revealed that Lionel Luthor, the Queens, and Virgil Swan had formed the Veritas society for the Traveler (the first shot of Lionel Luthor is him reading a newspaper that states the tragic deaths of the Queens- which later will be revealed that he killed them right before so that he could get to the Traveler before them). This piece of information can make one go back to season and "re-interpret" almost all of Lionel Luthor's scenes with the possibility that he already suspects that Clark is the traveler (further evidenced by the adoption backstory episode where he helps pay for the Kents adoption of Clark).
Really enjoying the show, looking forward to every Wednesday! Is there any chance of getting Justin Hartley on when his episodes come up not only to talk about Oliver but also his casting in the aquaman TV show that didn't get picked up
I remember this episode the debut of Tina Greer played by Lizzy Caplan. She was great as a villain and the episode kind of felt like Fatal Attraction in some way.
Rose and Bomb rating system: Tom: 1.5🌹 Michael: 1🌹 Ryan: 1🌹 Translate to out of 10: Tom: 7.5/10 Michael: 6.7/10 Ryan: 6.7/10 Average rating for the episode: 7/10.
Again thanks to Tom and Michael for doing this podcast, love hearing what was going on behind the camera with these episodes and after watching this episode last night i got to say the special effects held up pretty good another enjoyable episode and great acting from everyone, Annette has always been a beautiful and classy woman, great actress.
Listening to you guys brings me back to my teenage years as a pretty unpopular dude in a french high school watching Smallville saturday evenings. And now I'm about to become a father! Thanks for doing this, it was a great show and now a great podcast!
This has become the show I expect the most every week, and getting to rewatch Smallville is the cherry on top of the cake. Don’t mind the freak of the week format at all. It’s part of the show’s tone. I really dig that, in-universe, the town of Smallville is a place where crazy things happen.
I cannot wait for the episodes on the developing Clark and Lana epic love. Brings back great memories! Your podcast rocks! Thank you for being our teenage source of joy!
Michael's take on Clark's power being like getting an erection is pretty spot on for another one of Clark's eye based powers. His heat vision was heavily influenced by how aroused he was around the girls at school and the hot new teacher...who married lex 😂
I rewatched it pretty recently and prob my second time doing it. Loved the show it really helped me out a lot during my early teenage years cause it was though. So glad this podcast came together and to hear your thoughts surrounding Smallville :)
Thanks for another great episode. Would be great if you would consider upping the release schedule to twice a week with 21 episode seasons we have a lot of freak of the week episodes that lose momentum when waiting weekly for the next one
Smallville's first season reminded me of Highlander the TV series that came out in 92. The first season was a little more campy but still good. As it progressed you really got to see the character development and the stories improve drastically as everybody started really finding their character. Season 1 was the amuse-bouche leading up to that great meal.
I'm probably a million years behind, but i would love to see john sneider appear as a guest for one of these episodes. He really felt like the dad everyone wanted and needed in their lives on smallville.
I remember that episode Michael is talking about and it's called "Hourglass" season 1 episode 6. That's the one with Eric Christian Olsen as a guest star where he plays a criminal with his older counterpart played by George Murdock in a retirement home who falls into a pond that's laced with kryptonite turning him young like the fountain of youth. In that episode the character that Murdock/Olsen (Harry Volk) portrays is a criminal going after the descendants of the victims for putting him in prison.
Yeah the woman named Cassandra in the nursing home that is rumored to see the future, actually passes away from seeing his vision of being the President and it raining blood after the field of sunflowers die to his touch.
Yep. The old blind lady sees into the future by touching people. I'm sure Michael and Tom will talk about this but the actress who played the blind woman also played Christopher Walken's mother in The Dead Zone, and she has the exact same power that Walken had in that movie!
Fantastic podcast episode! Probably my favorite so far. I was dying laughing at Michael's comment about Pete's reaction to the dead body cause it's so true 🤣LMAO. Michael's has an excellent eye and makes great points, this explains why he was such a great Lex Luthor because it is clear he is methodical and a good critic. Side Note: Loved 'Inside of You' this week with Cassidy Freedman!! Fantastic interview and hope that you both get to season 8 and have her on the podcast. I really enjoyed hearing her experience, and seeing Michael's reaction to things that he wasn't apart of in reference to those last 3 years. Anyway, I would give this episode X-Ray 🌹🌹 (2/3 Roses)
I just LOVE how you talk about things that happen in the show that YOU have trouble remembering the tinier details about, but WE the hard core fans know instantly what it is, what ep it was in, who the actor was and probably the dialogue without even having to go back and check! That is what a hard core Smallville fan is all about : "Always hold on to Smallville" . What is so special about this podcast is to hear you guys pick up on the scenes that need a tiny bit of suspension of belief yet as a fan I happily overlooked and kept going with because.....it's Smallville!! Keep up the fun and clever observations...loving the insights on how scenes were shot. Damn!

Same here!! I'm already on ep 13 :) I've been thinking.. when I watched the show years ago I used to see these characters older than me.. and now rewatching the series I can't avoid the thought that I'm older than them and appreciate more the Jonathan-Clark scenes.

plus it's nice to have someone say okay this episode is really good and here's why or it's fucking terrible and here's why.
I second that emotion
Dvd commentaries are probably the second biggest reason I collect stuff I love on physical media (much to wife's chagrin, when I immediately start rewatching something after we finish it at midnight...).

I loved this episode for Clark not only discovering a new ability and using it but an enemy that had a connection with a main side character & had an ability Clark had to counter with his X ray sight. SmallVille so good!
🙌🙌
To answer your question about watching the show. I've started the show twice now (once when it was new, and again a couple years ago). I've never gotten past season 6. So while these episodes are a rewatch, if this podcast goes on long enough, I'll get to episodes that are new to me. I figured what a better time to watch the entire series than with the actors themselves! Thank you for doing this, I enjoy the added insight from you guys!
My favorite scene from this episode definetely is the Lex Luthor scene with the reporter when he turns the table around agaisnt the reporter, a great moment to show off the darker side of Lex
I'm rewatching the episodes right before I watch the podcast. But I didn't watch the show when it was airing (college & living on my own with no cable got in the way). I watched the whole series for the 1st time 1 yr after season 10 was over. And it's now my feel-good series.

I'm now in season nine and bummed out that I only have one more season after this one.

Hey guys, I started watching Smallville when you guys were in season 5 or 6. And actually started REwatching the series a little over a year ago with some friends that have never watched it. We're getting close to the end now, only a few episodes left in season 9. Love the show and the podcast, Rock on guys!
I am amazed just how good the sound track was for Smallville! I remember it was good but rewatching again has made me appreciate it even more.
24:19 when Tom talks about the smile at the end of the line a good supervillain would wear a mask it’s so awesome he said that because I’m rewatching it now, because of this podcast, and I caught that watching this episode and saying that looks so genuine 😂 and it is
Their reaction to their first dead body-I was thinking the same thing!! 😂
We don't have Hulu in Canada, we have STAR as part of our Disney+ subscription, and Smallville isn't on STAR, but on Amazon Prime Canada.
I rewatched the whole series.recently. It's tied form my favorite series, Star Trek, which I watched as a kid in the1960s. When Smalville was airing, each year for my birthday my best friend bough me the previous season on DVD. Each time I went to watch the latest DVDs, I'd have to watch all the previous ones. The only one I didn't watch initially on DVD the following year was Season 10, because I couldn't stand the fact that the show had ended. I grieved the ending of Smallville even more than I grieved the ending of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and maybe as much as I did the ending of original Trek. I'm really enjoying watching the two of you react to watching your own show. It's a real treat!
My favorite part of this episode is that Lana reaches out to Chloe when she has a problem and Chloe comes through for her. I really like that they are becoming friends.
When Mike and Tom were doing the Geico bit I just thought about Tom as Clark breaking something and being like "Oh well, this is why I have Geico."
You guys are hilarious, love watching the podcast. I LOVE Smallville and have rewatched it at least 6 times this podcast is such a treat. Such a fun way to rewatch :)
( DAMN WHOS THAT ) ON T SHIRTS
MUGS & SOME MERCHANDISE LOL
Currently
I watch Smallville in a guard shack.
Right under the monitors.
I'm a security officer.
Nothing to do with the episode, just a complement. Rosenbaum definitely does one of the best Seinfeld impressions I've ever heard. Lmao 🤣
You guys should really bring me in around the 5th season. Having two Ryans give their input, one who's seen, and one who hasn't, that would be epic. Anyway, I've spent enough time grilling food and listening to the first season, I'll be picking this up tomorrow.
I think X-Ray was a solid episode! I really enjoyed the unexpected moments of when you'd suddenly find out a character wasn't them, but was Tina. Also lol I didn't even notice Pete's reaction until you mentioned it. Maybe he's already used to all the weird stuff in this town. 🤷♀
I'd like to hear Mike's impression of Sam's reaction to the body if he could have sworn on the show 😂
2:18 that dazed and confused Matthew McConaughey!
The ups and downs between Clark and Lana was that hard going back and forth emotionally?
0:42 Umm.... petition to have Michael and Tom sing more often!!!😀😍
(SPOILERS (AGAIN)) - Lex first has a vision of becoming President in 1x06 Hourglass. There's a lady in the nursing home who can see peope's futures. But it's a vision that we see again multiple times over the years. It's a great bit of foreshadowing for who Lex will later become. I remember being so excited when I first saw that scene.
Fantastic video I have the complete series of smallville on dvd that's how im watching it has all 10 seasons a special newspaper it's awesome love you all incredible content 😊❤🎉
Smallville is also on Netflix
This is great - The Scandinavian
Smallville is my all time favorite show, I've watched Smallville at least once a year all the way through since it aired!
I also just found this podcast so idk if you guys will even see this, but how would Lex have turned out if the Kents would have accepted him from the very start instead of pushing him away and giving him the cold shoulder? Would he have turned into an ally for Clark or do you think he would have turned into a villain either way?
I liked "freak of the week" episodes but I didn't really categorize them as such. Rather, I saw them as episodes that explored how the meteor shower had far-reaching effects beyond JUST Clark arriving. It added a lot of nuance and sorrow to the history of Smallville's residents, even down to their family trees and DNA, a bit like the history of Maine in IT.
40:20 to be fair, not the first dead mom they've seen, and the first was in a hell of a lot worse condition
Loving this podcast. Good call on not discussing the Allison stuff. We all know what happened and we’re here for talk about the show. Well handled.
Also the Lex as President episode is season 1 episode 6
Tina Greer Returns in Season 2 Visage...She takes Whitney Personality......also the episode that Michael is talking about is the episode Hourglass in S1 where Cassandra Carver shows him a vision that he is the president of the U.S.
If that episode was released today Tina p would have been a lesibian with a crush on Lana
A new girl started at work “Christina Greer”. I’d never seen her before, so it took me FOREVER to figure out how I knew that name! 🤣🤣
Damn… good episode.
I love this idea! Talk Ville!
Talking about lex having Jonathan as a father. One of my favorite lines in the series has to be when Lex tells Clark “When my dad dies, kings will come to his funeral. When your dad does, his friends will.” I don’t remember when that line comes up, but it’s always stuck with me.
and who came to Loinals funeral. HIS FRIND AND A GOD
Wow I forgot about that. That’s an amazing line
There was an also an episode where Lionel does find lex in a alternate universe
I always loved that line. Another: "My father may try and rule the world, but yours will inherit the earth."
@@H8nb8n That's a biblical reference, right? "Blessed are the meek, for it is they who shall inherit the earth" or something like that? I don't understand it, to be honest. How does Jonathan inherit the earth? What does that mean?
One thing I'd like to say, Tom and Michael often point out how Tom is somewhat inexperienced as an actor at that point. I want to say that I think it works really well for him portraying Clark because we see Tom figuring out Clark while Clark is at that age where he's trying to figure himself out. Tom was the right guy for this show!
Also Tom has the same personality as Clark so it feels natural for him to play his role I think
Agreed. Tom has even made comments like "It literally could have been anybody" and its like NO!!! He really was the best guy for the role and I love listening to these guys talk about it!!
tom was definitely perfect for the role
They also said exactly that. That Tom didn't know what he was doing, and that worked because neither did Clark.
19:47 Michael talks about how they’ll eventually get to the S6 episode that he directs, which actually ends up answering a question I’ve been wanting to ask. Do they plan on doing literally every episode of the entire series. If the pod does last that long, then I’m all for it. Every episode.
seasons 8, 9, and 10 might be a bit weird to reminisce about as he wasn't there for most of it
@@Blue-ub8ld 8,9 and 10 are my favorite - it would be so sad to stop before then. (Even though there's no Michael (until the finale), there still is quite a bit of Lex looming in the background, so it would be interesting to hear his take)
Please bring in John glover for his thoughts,especially on the growth of the father son relationship then obvious demise,you guys are killin it with the podcast I’ll be here until the end 100percent and I need a mike Tom shirt with a mic in the middle in green like kryptonite
we definitely need to
@@TalkVillePodcast I have a question for one of the next episodes "cool". In the scene where Shawn (I think is his name) walks by the candles and the flames turn to ice, was that a practical effect? and who's idea was it because I don't think that would happen lol. I'm definitely gonna call in soon and I am definitely a super fan lol
that would be awesome. it would be great if he was randomly in character as well.
Hell yeah they better act fast Mr Glover is like 80 years old.
That would be awwsome
“Tina” was in an episode where she pretends to be Whitney after he had died. He had joined the military and had been gone for a while but Tina takes the place of him to get close to Lana again. She was so good at playing a crazy person 😂😂
Why???
Spoilers! xD
The episode was called “Visage”
@@elisetesdal2371 because she's in love with Lana and thought if she pretended to be him Lana will be hers. However she didn't know Lana broke up with him beforehand.
@@SolidSnake0621 idk if he said that was the ep name
That scene with Pete has always cracked me up. Four episodes in and the kids of Smallville High are already unfazed by dead bodies falling out of random household objects🤣
small town, *BIG ISSUES*
crazy
I mean Chole called the town out on its lack of ignorance in the pilot.
"Just because everyone else chooses to ignore the strange things that happen in this leafy little hamlet doesn't mean that they don't happen." -Chloe
So I'm not surprised
They are ae unfazed when their classmates die or go to jail.
I remember there is a later episode, once Clark trusts Pete with his secret, and during a conversation Pete asks if he had used his x-ray vision to look into the girls' locker room. Of course, Clark answers with a smile, Pete just says something along the lines of " my man". I guess we didn't see much of Clark using his powers as a regular teenage boy rather than for doing chores on the farm or against the meteor inflicted people.
I loved that line from Annette when Clark asks her "what would you do if you could see anything" and Martha says "learn to close my eyes"
@Phantom of the Past **Riverdale and the ghost of Luke Perry are leaving this chatroom...**
@Phantom of the Past Indeed. 🤣
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 huh?
I remember lmbo, but saying ''she's not wrong''.
But what if "anything" includes your eyelids? Wait, can Superman see through his own eyelids?
Please don’t stop this podcast, if you can go all the way to season 10 finale!
same!
Loved when Lex says "I promise Clark, I'm not a criminal mastermind." Great line.
.....yet.
Me it's the pocket knife lines with Jonathan when he asks Clark what he has in his hand and Clark replies it is his pocket knife and he tells him that he knows because he always has it in his left pocket. 😂😂
Man this podcast is everything! It’s been fun doing the rewatch of a show that means so much to me with my 11 year old daughter. She’s been loving the show and one of these days she says she wants to call in. :)
Just two friends talking about something that was a huge part of their lives. This is what it’s about. 🌹 🌹
haha love it ❤️
Very glad you and your daughter are having a good time together.
I love how Tom loses his mind every time Michael says “damn” 😂
😂😂😂
"Damn...who's that?"
Loving the podcast and re-watching the show with you guys, much love🤙
That's how i will respond to people knocking on my door from now on......Damn....Who's that ?
I genuinely love Michael and Tom. They’re both such genuine, humble and wholesome individuals. Not only that but they vibe with one another like blood brothers.
I just remeber the bloopers where they were goofing around during filming n Lionels actor was getting irritated at least in in scene. They didn't goof sound as much as Jared n Jensen on SPN from what I saw but almost.
@@azahora22 Jared & Jensen’s bloopers are absolutely hilarious. The blooper compilations could be a whole show by itself & I love how they annoy Misha and rest of the cast.
@@RuanAntunes7 yeah Jared and Jenson are legends in pranks i don't think it was to that level at all behind the scenes. but those guys also are like brothers as well and if i recall Tom and Michael saying it wasn't until long after Michael left and maybe even once the show ended that they became like brothers like they are now
Tom is always so kind when he talks about Lana/Kristin 🥰 As a huge Clana fan I’m glad to see that.
❤️❤️
Thing I love about this episode is that it's the first time we see Chloe and Lana getting along, like Chloe realizes maybe there's more to know about Lana. For me this is where the path to become best friends starts for them ♡
Clark "mum if you could see anything what would you do?
"Learn to close my eyes "
Great line by Al and miles
I'm glad Allison was brought up a bit in this episode. Sadly, we all understand how terrible things went with her in the end, but Cloe is BY FAR my favorite character in Smallville. She's like Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings: Good hearted and loyal to a fault. Clark wouldn't have gotten far without Cloe. I hope you don't shy away from talking about her... at least in the context of the show.
More love for Chloe, please.
She's my favorite character. Still is, regardless of what the actress has done.
Same! Chloe was amazing. Hope they talk about her at least in context to this show
Her and green arrow was my fav couple on that show. When green arrow came on I was 😍. My fav scenes are from those two. I always wondered why they didn’t show more of Chloe and Oliver’s relationship bc their love scenes were ❤️. I guesss bc the show was about Clark. I was reading why green arrow never got his spin off. I def thought of ways to get around what the writers said but I do think Justin Hartley who played green arrow could have had that spin off that would have done realky well. I miss Chloe and Oliver
Or Ron weasley from Harry Potter
Toms Audio is much improved!!! Amazing episode guys! The show is getting better and better! 🙌🏼
thanks for all the support bud
I’m so glad Michael pointed out Pete’s non-reaction to Tina’s mom’s body. 😂
Also, Martha’s response to Clark’s question with, “Learn to close my eyes,” is EASILY the best line in ALL of Smallville.
This episode does an effective job in showing that Clark emerging powers came gradually through various circumstances, in this case it was in the form of a headache that trigger flashes. As the series progresses we'll see different types of ways he'd discover different power set and how he harness them effectively in life. Tom sold the performance with the way he portrayed his mannerism as Clark using his X-ray Vision. I really liked the scene between him and his parents teaching him to focus his vision like a telescope. John and Annette really had great onscreen chemistry portraying The Kent's.
well said
Petition to get Tom to sing more 😁
Yeah
"Learn to close my eyes"...Probably the best mother ever😍. This is first " Martha centered" episode. Annette brought warmth to the character and she is ❤of the show. Always loved her and Clark scenes. Lizzy was great freak😀. This episode is important, although freak of the week😀... X Ray debuted🙂+ Roger Nixon debuted.
And Lionel's words to Lex in the pilot were , "You will never get anywhere with your eyes closed." Interesting contrast between the Kent and the Luthor parenting styles.
great Annette episode
Can someone tell me what Martha meant by saying " Learn to close my eyes" ....Was that just her motherly way of saying " Mind your business Clark " ? 😅
I loved that ending, great line and when Clark used his x-ray vision and sees Whitney and lana kissing, it's such a beautiful scene.
@@__JASON__.Martha's advice is multilayered... It means that you don't need to see everything that's surrounds you. For example,sometimes people can really hurt you, so you have to be careful. And Clark literary has the ability to see through people. So he is exposed to many good but also many bad things, and he need to learn how to protect himself. Like we all do in " real life".
The reason meteor freaks become evil so fast is because the meteor rocks effect their judgement (similarly to how the red meteors effect Clark’s judgement). This is explained later on in the series and is brought up a couple times.
It depends on the person. Depends on whether it’s meteor in the water, soil, etc.
Clark’s reaction is very different, as his body is reacting to the radiation, and changes him, due to his Kryptonian physiology.
Humans are being mutated, not unlike how fallout from nuclear waste, or the people of Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl, altered some people and there children for generations.
*Forgot to say, I agree. Just wanted to point out that not all meteor things lead to evil, madness, etc.
@@CorbCorbin Wouldn't that also imply that Smallville and its vicinities comcentrates a really higher-than-average concentration of individuals (and sometimes animals) carrying the metahuman gene at a dormant state within its population, and somehow the rocks randomly trigger the awakening of their powers and abilities in regard to their mental and emotional states, skill-sets, baseline traits and environment prior to the mutation??
like the ep where 2 partners are exposed, and one is evil and the other is GOOD - it's about the person and how power corrupts humans, MOST humans.
wouldn't say so. Cause Cloey was effected by Meteor rocks, she wasnt evil or bad.
@@ZUSHxH exactly, it gives powers, and power corrupts - its dependent on the person. when the son reaper kills people he thinks hes helping them when he realises he is not he kills himself. most people are corruptible so most become eveil. thats why HEROS are so important. they are people with power who choose good
Michael, Tom, Ryan, people think this show is about superman and his powers, when in actuality it's about Clark who is trying to be like his father despite being tempted by all his powers, and Lex who is giving his all not to become like his father, and ends up becoming worse.
Also, start a count on the amount of times the words "My father" is said on the show. It's a lot. like. drinking-game-a-lot
Best Wishes
Brilliant as always. I’d love to know what’s the coolest prop/replica/item either of you two kept from being on the show. Thanks for the great episodes! Also, will Tom appear in person again for some episodes ? (I understand why he can’t for every episode)
Honestly the acting flub Tom speaks about in regards to the scene with Lana and clark on the porch where tom repeats "Well you're lucky... you're lucky you got at least that" Really works for clark given that he's talking to his crush. It seemed like something a nervous clark would do having a legit heart to heart with Lana. I think thats why they kept it
edit: I literally paused while they were speaking about this to comment but upon resuming the video Tom nails it spot on by saying clark should be nervous talking to lana. Dude that was awesome insight, Im really loving this pod
I started watching Smallville for the first time in April. During the second episode, my husband joined in and we both loved it a lot. Once we finsihed the series, I was so bummed it ended that I started watching it again after a week of looking for something similar and not finding anything as entertaining as Smallville. I am now watching it yet again using this podcast as an excuse. This show is fantastic, even to me, a middle aged wife and mother. It's even better knowing that the actors behind the characters are so humble and likable. Thank you for this podcast!
Tried Arrow or Agents of SHIELD?
glad you found us
@@PeverellTheThird Didn't know about those. I'll check them out. Thanks!
@@yomercecordero Arrow kind of turns into the "Arrowverse": Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, etc. But, as someone who adored Smallville growing up, I have to say a really like a lot of the shows.
For a similar show check out Merlin. It's a show that ran for five seasons and it's basically Smallville in Camelot. I think it's on Netflix.
Whenever Clark smiled in the show, I just thought it was so adorable and innocent. Then Red Clark shows up and that smile just says so many naughty things. 😎
To answer the question about the IMDB credit, its technically a spoiler but Tina appears later on in the series disguised as Whitney when he "returns" from the marine corps so she can be with Lana
Yeah, I couldn't remember if her return was that or Chloe as prom queen...
@@emersonk2139that was a ghost
I think they were showing that the “freaks” had underlying issues before they developed their powers. That’s why they didn’t focus on them being likeable people per se. They even say in the later seasons that the meteor rocks also impact the persons thoughts and that the power really gets to their head. (E.g When Pete and Lana got temporary powers). The powers emphasized issues the characters had that they tried to bury deep down. We also eventually meet meteor freaks that are actually not crazy LOL but then they wouldn’t be the type to draw attention to themselves and clark wouldn’t be saving others from them.
Loving the pod so far fellas; Tom's earnestness is super endearing and of course Rosey's humor and charm just drives it. Smallville was my jam for so many years; was obsessed with it, so this is great to remember it and get some insider info on it. Keep it up guys! And seriously, please, please get Kristen, the Johns (Schneider and Glover) and Annette on as guests at some point! this show had so many talented people working on it over the years, it'd be criminal not to get some of their insight.
glad you’re diggin it pal
Hey guys, i wanted to thank you all for the great job you guys did as actors...there was a time when i was maniacally depressed and on some days the only thing that got me through the day was bingwatching smallville...i am no longer depressed but i really want you guys to know that you really have saved some lives, i believe...this podcast is awesome and you three are great!!! Iy is kewl to hear about Ryan's experience watching for the first time...i love you all and again, thank you!!!
glad we could help 🙌
Can’t wait for years down the line where Michael watches the episode in Season 10 where Clark is found by Lionel and explores exactly what they talked a little bit about this episode. Loving the podcast! It’s so amazing to hear all the behind the scenes and both Michael and Tom’s perspective on the episodes!
As good of a dramatic actor Michael is, he is actually really talented at comedy also. I absolutely died of laughter with his performance in sorority boys😅.
The mini-behind scenes you just talked about is what I love. It's those little funny moments is just awesome for Smallville.
Love getting into those
I'm really enjoying the podcast and rewatching Smallville as a whole. X-Ray is one of my favorite Season 1 episodes. i really love the episodes when Clark gets a new power.
glad you’re enjoying pal
Those are always the best episodes. Xray, heat, whisper all amongst my favorites
@@danielocean3699 Yeah, mine too!
Some of my favorite episodes is when Clark gets new powers. Always loved Clark and Johnathan's relationship and how he helps Clark train his new ability.
Father of the century being able to figure out Superman's powers for him. 😆
I loved this Jonathan. Great father figure. He was hard on Clark but he loved him.
I'm assiduously watching every episode of Talkville, and I always watch the episode of Smallville that's going to be discussed first. I really hope the podcast fulfills its purpose of commenting on more than 200 episodes of this great phenomenal series. I'm very excited about the idea and looking forward to finally getting to the episode that marked my life (and still marks today), and that made me stop liking the series, to start idolizing. I'm referring to season 3 episode 19 "Memoria". An episode that could be simple, but that revealed bombastic secrets about the past of Lex, Lionel, and also Clark. The episode ends with the huge difference in warmth and family love between Clark and Lex, to the tune of Evanescence's "My Immortal". I cried so much with this episode, I had dreams for several nights. Congratulations on your amazing performance. And if it's not too much to ask, I'd like John Glover to participate in this podcast specifically. Thank you so much and I wish Talkville much success. SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAVE MEEEE!!!!!!
that’s the plan Habib ❤️
On the rewatch i did last night I was impressed that “Lex” signs with his right hand at the bank. It’s such a subtle detail I probably missed 20 years ago but was just a perfect little addition, and it’s stuff like that which made the show phenomenal.
great catch
Smallville is the one superhero show that changes the origins and stories of a loved superhero character and not only makes it work and is accepted by most fanbase and still seem like it's just natural for superman's story to be played out like these events in the show.
One of things I think that makes season 1 so interesting is that within it, almost all of the major storylines from all the other seasons are foreshadowed or seeds for those seasons are planted. Good examples of this would be level 3 at Luthor's plant and then in season 7 when it gets revealed that Lionel Luthor, the Queens, and Virgil Swan had formed the Veritas society for the Traveler (the first shot of Lionel Luthor is him reading a newspaper that states the tragic deaths of the Queens- which later will be revealed that he killed them right before so that he could get to the Traveler before them). This piece of information can make one go back to season and "re-interpret" almost all of Lionel Luthor's scenes with the possibility that he already suspects that Clark is the traveler (further evidenced by the adoption backstory episode where he helps pay for the Kents adoption of Clark).
Really enjoying the show, looking forward to every Wednesday!
Is there any chance of getting Justin Hartley on when his episodes come up not only to talk about Oliver but also his casting in the aquaman TV show that didn't get picked up
I remember this episode the debut of Tina Greer played by Lizzy Caplan. She was great as a villain and the episode kind of felt like Fatal Attraction in some way.
Or Single white female!
Absolutely love watching you guys. A lot of nostalgia. Also, Lizzy Caplan is also in Season 2 Episode 11 called Visage.

Again thanks to Tom and Michael for doing this podcast, love hearing what was going on behind the camera with these episodes and after watching this episode last night i got to say the special effects held up pretty good another enjoyable episode and great acting from everyone, Annette has always been a beautiful and classy woman, great actress.
glad you agree 😄
Listening to you guys brings me back to my teenage years as a pretty unpopular dude in a french high school watching Smallville saturday evenings. And now I'm about to become a father!
Thanks for doing this, it was a great show and now a great podcast!
congrats bud
Are you choosing the Jonathan or Lionel parenting strategy?
@@Ixnatifual Hopefully I can be a good role model like Jonathan :) Even though we're having a girl :p
This has become the show I expect the most every week, and getting to rewatch Smallville is the cherry on top of the cake. Don’t mind the freak of the week format at all. It’s part of the show’s tone. I really dig that, in-universe, the town of Smallville is a place where crazy things happen.
I cannot wait for the episodes on the developing Clark and Lana epic love. Brings back great memories! Your podcast rocks! Thank you for being our teenage source of joy!
“What would you do if you could see everything?”
“I would learn to close my eyes.”
One question for each Talkville episode should be, “if you could have one piece of memorabilia from this episode, what would it be?”
Yes!!!!!
Love this podcast. This episode stood out. Keep up the good work.
appreciate ya Therese
Michael's take on Clark's power being like getting an erection is pretty spot on for another one of Clark's eye based powers.
His heat vision was heavily influenced by how aroused he was around the girls at school and the hot new teacher...who married lex 😂
I rewatched it pretty recently and prob my second time doing it. Loved the show it really helped me out a lot during my early teenage years cause it was though.
So glad this podcast came together and to hear your thoughts surrounding Smallville :)
Glad you enjoy it
Thanks for another great episode. Would be great if you would consider upping the release schedule to twice a week with 21 episode seasons we have a lot of freak of the week episodes that lose momentum when waiting weekly for the next one
Smallville's first season reminded me of Highlander the TV series that came out in 92. The first season was a little more campy but still good. As it progressed you really got to see the character development and the stories improve drastically as everybody started really finding their character. Season 1 was the amuse-bouche leading up to that great meal.
🎶Here we are,born to be kings we're the princes of the universe!!!🎶
I'm probably a million years behind, but i would love to see john sneider appear as a guest for one of these episodes. He really felt like the dad everyone wanted and needed in their lives on smallville.
I remember that episode Michael is talking about and it's called "Hourglass" season 1 episode 6. That's the one with Eric Christian Olsen as a guest star where he plays a criminal with his older counterpart played by George Murdock in a retirement home who falls into a pond that's laced with kryptonite turning him young like the fountain of youth. In that episode the character that Murdock/Olsen (Harry Volk) portrays is a criminal going after the descendants of the victims for putting him in prison.
Yeah the woman named Cassandra in the nursing home that is rumored to see the future, actually passes away from seeing his vision of being the President and it raining blood after the field of sunflowers die to his touch.
Yep. The old blind lady sees into the future by touching people. I'm sure Michael and Tom will talk about this but the actress who played the blind woman also played Christopher Walken's mother in The Dead Zone, and she has the exact same power that Walken had in that movie!
Fantastic podcast episode! Probably my favorite so far. I was dying laughing at Michael's comment about Pete's reaction to the dead body cause it's so true 🤣LMAO. Michael's has an excellent eye and makes great points, this explains why he was such a great Lex Luthor because it is clear he is methodical and a good critic. Side Note: Loved 'Inside of You' this week with Cassidy Freedman!! Fantastic interview and hope that you both get to season 8 and have her on the podcast. I really enjoyed hearing her experience, and seeing Michael's reaction to things that he wasn't apart of in reference to those last 3 years. Anyway, I would give this episode X-Ray 🌹🌹 (2/3 Roses)
Glad we’re getting better. Thanks pal
I just LOVE how you talk about things that happen in the show that YOU have trouble remembering the tinier details about, but WE the hard core fans know instantly what it is, what ep it was in, who the actor was and probably the dialogue without even having to go back and check! That is what a hard core Smallville fan is all about : "Always hold on to Smallville" . What is so special about this podcast is to hear you guys pick up on the scenes that need a tiny bit of suspension of belief yet as a fan I happily overlooked and kept going with because.....it's Smallville!! Keep up the fun and clever observations...loving the insights on how scenes were shot. Damn!
Always hold on to Smallwille! Also DCAC Rules!!!
@@amandananette ZOMG YES!! 🤣🤣💕💕💕😍
This is my first time watching the show. As a big Superman fan, I’m really enjoying it
Hope you dig the pod too
@@TalkVillePodcast sure do
