Speaker 1: Hi. My name is Tom Welling.
Speaker 2: I played Clark Kent on Smallville and you are listening
Speaker 2: to Always Hold On to Smallville.
Speaker 3: Welcome Always Onto Smallville. In this podcast, we talk about
Speaker 3: each in every episode of the Young Superman Show. And
Speaker 3: we're from two thousand and one to twenty eleven on
Speaker 3: the WB and the CW. I'm your host, Zach Moore,
Speaker 3: and we're back with mail Bag number.
Speaker 1: Thirteen, Part one, Part one. You heard him, You Love Him.
Speaker 4: We're joined by Lance Laster from Always Ald on the
Speaker 4: Arrow and Nick Ryan Macdoze.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be a mail bag without Nick. Welcome back, Nick.
Speaker 2: It's god to be back.
Speaker 1: It's glad to be back.
Speaker 5: Indeed, it's a fresh episode today.
Speaker 1: Oh right.
Speaker 3: We have emails, messages, podcast reviews, correspondence, we have him
Speaker 3: here and we're gonna read them out for you. And
Speaker 3: it's a really enjoyable Uh.
Speaker 1: I was enjoying this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Nick, how are you on watching Smallville?
Speaker 5: My favorite question, it's the it's every single time it
Speaker 5: comes up and nowhere it hasn't changed since the last
Speaker 5: time we've asked that question.
Speaker 1: You haven't watched since two thousand and four. So what
Speaker 1: you're telling me no, to be fair, the first happened
Speaker 1: to Kloe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first couple of seasons I did rewatch, But
Speaker 5: since then I have felt fall enough.
Speaker 1: Are you more of a marvel you guy?
Speaker 2: These days?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Neither. It's just whatever is on and it's entertaining these days.
Speaker 1: It's fair. I feel the same way about politics. Let's
Speaker 1: move on. So let's go to.
Speaker 3: Our first message. We have a five star Apple podcast review.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm gonna call it Apple Podcasts giving in
Speaker 3: not iTunes. Anybody hasn't been iTunes in years. I can't
Speaker 3: even open my old iTunes libraries anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I spent so much time like curating that stuff and
Speaker 4: making it just right, and like with the album art,
Speaker 4: so it looked a certain way, and now all that
Speaker 4: effort is gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the files are still there, the folders,
Speaker 3: but it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I completely switch over streaming at one point. I
Speaker 5: use YouTube music. I'm not even a Spotify.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not a physical media person. What happens to you?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 1: Know? The Internet? What do you do?
Speaker 2: I have downloaded playlists?
Speaker 4: They allow you to do that.
Speaker 1: There you go. That's true. Spotify, let you gentle on,
Speaker 1: yeah too.
Speaker 4: Just gotta pay you gotta pay. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So let's read our first five star Apple Podcasts
Speaker 3: review from Josh Ems titled awesome podcast. I love how
Speaker 3: they talk about the show. I have never read any
Speaker 3: Superman comics, so it is fun to hear their insight.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Josh.
Speaker 3: Hopefully we've encouraged you to pick up some Superman combooks.
Speaker 3: If if not, that maybe Smallville season eleven.
Speaker 4: Alrighty The next is a five star review on Apple
Speaker 4: Podcasts from Rocky eleven title I found some new podcast friends.
Speaker 4: Found this podcast the rewatching small Ble on Hulu in
Speaker 4: August of twenty twenty three. I started in season seven
Speaker 4: since that was where I was in my rewatch. I
Speaker 4: love the banter between the guest host and Zach. I
Speaker 4: love that we all don't agree on different aspects of
Speaker 4: the show, but all love the show overall. Keep up
Speaker 4: the good work because we still have a season and
Speaker 4: a half to go.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks, Rocky, I believe it. We have some emails
Speaker 3: from you as well. Down the road here we'll get
Speaker 3: to you. So thank you for that five star review.
Speaker 3: I think we're sitting at a four point nine. Okay,
Speaker 3: right now, nice, we have two hundred something reviews.
Speaker 2: Nice?
Speaker 1: Is that a lot?
Speaker 2: I think that's a lot. That's a lot. I think
Speaker 2: that's enough to make changes on a rotten tomake. Keep
Speaker 2: saying that, but you forget it.
Speaker 3: You go figure it out for me and I'll do
Speaker 3: it all right, so I can start review bombing stuff.
Speaker 2: There you go. I don't think it would be bombing
Speaker 2: if it's true.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, right, view bombing works both ways,
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh man, I really want this to
Speaker 3: do well, so I'm going to give it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Oh I really hate this. I'm going to give it
Speaker 3: zero percent. People don't don't tell me that doesn't happen
Speaker 3: on both sides, right, But no, I keep it.
Speaker 1: I keep it a one hundred right, Yes, that's what
Speaker 1: the was it? Right? That is?
Speaker 4: That is the phrase?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Anyway, But I think when now we've moved on to
Speaker 4: standing on business is the newer one.
Speaker 2: No cap no cap that's been around for a while.
Speaker 3: It's a wild time, right, Well again, thanks Rocky and
Speaker 3: uh leading off with to Apple Podcasts review here. As
Speaker 3: Nick always tells me, either every time he sees me
Speaker 3: or every time we do one of these, it.
Speaker 1: Might be on an off microphone.
Speaker 3: Apparently, if you have a certain amount of reviews somewhere
Speaker 3: and you're consistent enough of your publication, you can become
Speaker 3: an official certified reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 2: And I'm probably gonna still bring it up even after.
Speaker 3: Well, guys done so overwritten, Like I fundamentally disagree with
Speaker 3: what that website represents and what it has done for
Speaker 3: criticism of film, but I would gladly be a certified Sure.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I want you to take the next one.
Speaker 5: Nick. Yeah, and we got an email here from our
Speaker 5: Corey Moore.
Speaker 1: Our Corey Moore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our we know Corey Moore very well. It's a friend,
Speaker 2: the legend.
Speaker 1: No relation.
Speaker 5: His emails chyled happy New Year twenty two, twenty four,
Speaker 5: long time, no message. When it comes to sports, I'm
Speaker 5: very superstitious. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Right, superstitious not on the ball to look, do not
Speaker 1: know any more of the lecture.
Speaker 2: I just know the superstitious.
Speaker 1: But who's saying that song? Oh man, that was softball?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 1: I'm just okay, oh well this is it? Okay.
Speaker 3: He wears sunglasses. You got a fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 3: Don't say the wrong one.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it because I don't I
Speaker 2: don't want to be wrong.
Speaker 1: It was Ray Charles. Let's keep going, Okay, I had
Speaker 1: it right in my head so serious, right, No, No,
Speaker 1: that was Stevie Wonder. That was Stevieee. That was a
Speaker 1: test and you failed. All right, rafter a great star.
Speaker 5: Anyways, he goes on, you know what I'm talking about, right,
Speaker 5: For example, if you play a great game about basketball,
Speaker 5: then you wear the same shorts next time, or coming
Speaker 5: off the baseball field, never stepping on the foul line, chalk, etc.
Speaker 5: Early on in our fantasy football league, my team devoted
Speaker 5: to cad Or Raid was three to three on the
Speaker 5: early season. Around that time, I was gonna message you,
Speaker 5: but I was in the stretch of a two game
Speaker 5: winning streak. I thought, surely don't call me. Surely I've
Speaker 5: won back to back games because I forgot to message
Speaker 5: Zach this weekend. So I decided not to message you
Speaker 5: until I lost the game. Ridiculous, right, Well, little did
Speaker 5: I know my team would go on a ten game
Speaker 5: winning streak and lead the league. So I'm now just
Speaker 5: sending you a message because it's official. I've lost one
Speaker 5: game away from the super Bowl. My ten game winning
Speaker 5: streak is over, and my heart is ripped out and
Speaker 5: stepped on by none other than Lance. Oh Lance, whyde
Speaker 5: be the land? He is now in the super Bowl
Speaker 5: against keV. Great job you guys, and I can't wait
Speaker 5: to see who wins.
Speaker 1: Who did win? Lance?
Speaker 2: keV?
Speaker 1: I was rooting for you, I was on record.
Speaker 2: I appreciate keV. I'm I was rooting for you, but
Speaker 2: I wasn't on record. He continues.
Speaker 5: Great job on your season nine reviews, and I've listened
Speaker 5: to them all. That was pretty cool that you had
Speaker 5: Jeff Johns as a guest. No, not the Jeff Johns
Speaker 5: from the Recruit episode, but the comic book writer up
Speaker 5: up in the way more ten game winning streaks.
Speaker 2: Ps. Lance, is my lex luthor now? Or am I
Speaker 2: his Lex luthor? Haha?
Speaker 4: Well we are both double l's.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh?
Speaker 1: Would you just realize that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I did excellent.
Speaker 1: You never realized his name was a double level four?
Speaker 2: No, I actually did. Well, I know his name, and actually.
Speaker 3: It's a bit I just want everybody to realize that
Speaker 3: we'll come in here and say, Nick, want you say
Speaker 3: some really silly stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make funny wrong and I would be laugh.
Speaker 5: This is all just no, I've always known your name,
Speaker 5: but I just never thought about ll huh like yeah.
Speaker 3: That's all our best friends, all right? Well thank you Corey. Yes,
Speaker 3: keV one Fantasy football always son football last season and
Speaker 3: uh Wellance got second place?
Speaker 4: Do you need the solid number two if you're not
Speaker 4: fresh to last?
Speaker 1: That's what I heard.
Speaker 3: I would know because I think I was last Fantasy.
Speaker 3: All right, So we have a Spotify comment from Maya
Speaker 3: Dean on episode nine seven. Candor personally enjoyed Sorry like
Speaker 3: a week behind, just got on this episode, and I'm
Speaker 3: really loving the season so far. I enjoyed knowing more
Speaker 3: about Jirel and his hardship.
Speaker 1: Was Zod? I love Zod this season?
Speaker 3: Yes, that was the big flashback episode to cryptommy a
Speaker 3: little backstory With than this, Joel and Zod get fleshed
Speaker 3: out Zod's motivations a bit. You know, he had a
Speaker 3: wife and son who died and wanted he wanted Drew
Speaker 3: to clone his son and Dreel and do it. So
Speaker 3: so he holds that against Joerel. So that that's that's
Speaker 3: really cool wrinkle for this version of n and Girel
Speaker 3: for Zod to kind of hold that against Joel's son,
Speaker 3: and I really like to Odd was a great villain.
Speaker 3: He's to me, he's the best non lex Nonlinel villain
Speaker 3: of the show. So when you ever watched these nine dick,
Speaker 3: you'll enjoy it. Yeah, so thank you for that comment.
Speaker 4: Yep. Oh, we have another Spotify comment here. This is
Speaker 4: from Panther Benjamin uh titled Superman Special number twenty five
Speaker 4: Superman Legacy Casting Part.
Speaker 1: Three academic called Superman Legacy. That was episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, loving all the content y'all made number two on
Speaker 4: my podcast Spotify rap beating out Talkville interestingly enough our
Speaker 4: spent list thing while i'm five star podcasts.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks Panther Benjamin. Yeah, I often listen to podcasts
Speaker 3: when I'm doing the artwork, so I get that. I
Speaker 3: feel that we probably beat out talk Field because our
Speaker 3: episodes are three times as long.
Speaker 1: There's that. That's probably that's a good reasonably.
Speaker 5: All right, And now we have another Apple podcast five
Speaker 5: star are from a fan of Zach titled Great Insight
Speaker 5: Love hearing the clearly passionate fans speak on timeless hero
Speaker 5: and classic show. Zach's a great podcast host.
Speaker 1: Well thanks a fan of Zach, I wonder I know
Speaker 1: who this is? Actually?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, was it you? Was it you?
Speaker 3: You know, asking for a friend shout out to us
Speaker 3: or not?
Speaker 2: That's who?
Speaker 1: That is? So nice? All right?
Speaker 3: So hey, here's our email from from from Rocky Tomlin
Speaker 3: has promised. Email says, always hold on to Superman and Lois.
Speaker 1: Oh look at that? Look at that?
Speaker 3: Hello happy twenty twenty four, Still twenty twenty four, as
Speaker 3: its recording.
Speaker 1: Could mean anything.
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying your podcast on Superman on Lois mainly because
Speaker 3: since you were watching it as it happens, you can't
Speaker 3: spoil the finale every episode.
Speaker 1: Surplay.
Speaker 3: I also like that I can actually watch ahead because
Speaker 3: I just started last month. You can watch a few
Speaker 3: episodes a week and then listen to the podcast having
Speaker 3: more knowledge than you allow me to really enjoy your
Speaker 3: speculation about the show and whether you're wrong or right,
Speaker 3: or if they use our com book knowledge against us.
Speaker 3: It's a common phrase that I mentioned when it comes
Speaker 3: to these CW shows. It's like time traveling in a
Speaker 3: way to me, because I know you've watched the whole
Speaker 3: show now up until season four, which as of this email,
Speaker 3: had just started filming. Now, the main reason I'm emailing
Speaker 3: I just started watching season three, and in the podcast,
Speaker 3: I'm only to the season two finale, so I'm devastated
Speaker 3: by the recast of Jonathan Kent. Now, my wife and
Speaker 3: son watch General Hospital. Every once in a while, they
Speaker 3: will temporarily recast someone who is sick or had something
Speaker 3: come up, but we get the original actor back, or
Speaker 3: they do recast permanently, like the character Franco on General
Speaker 3: Hospital with James Franco, but then change to a different
Speaker 3: actor but it is still Franco. I haven't seen on
Speaker 3: a big budget primetime showlie this, especially when the actors
Speaker 3: all had great chemistry for two seasons. Now they have
Speaker 3: this new actor looks different and doesn't have the same
Speaker 3: screen chemistry with everyone so far.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It seems like they could have just written him off,
Speaker 3: like you definitely want them to do.
Speaker 1: With the Sophie Watch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best part of that show. Although when
Speaker 3: you are binge watching all of them together, the Sophie
Speaker 3: Watch really isn't that big of a deal. But I
Speaker 3: do enjoy it. On the podcast, so do we now?
Speaker 3: The next part is just for me? In season one,
Speaker 3: Talroad definitely destroyed the console and Crystal in the Fortress. Also,
Speaker 3: its location was no longer secret, neither was the Desert Fortress,
Speaker 3: so it definitely makes sense that he had to make
Speaker 3: a new one. Another thing from season two when they
Speaker 3: flashed back to Talroad meaning Ilana in the bar on
Speaker 3: the Bizarro inverse world, Kyle is playing pool the square
Speaker 3: pool balls, so if you're paying attention to the pool game,
Speaker 3: you blink and you miss him. I don't even know
Speaker 3: if they will ever go back there, because I'm only
Speaker 3: one episode in the season three, so we will see again.
Speaker 3: Love the show. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Speaker 3: Rocky from Texas Well, thanks Rocky in the Hospital. It's
Speaker 3: funny mentioned that because my mom watched that when I
Speaker 3: was a kid, so therefore I watched a lot of
Speaker 3: it through osmosis, and yes, I remember like when somebody
Speaker 3: would change. It's like the character Jason is now being
Speaker 3: played by Sue, and so I'm like, oh, well that
Speaker 3: guy's gone.
Speaker 4: You know, Well you know who they haven't changed, Steve.
Speaker 1: He's on General Hospital.
Speaker 2: Believe, So yeah, that's still going.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the opera's work.
Speaker 3: Man, Days of our lives, they're just gone forever, hundreds
Speaker 3: and thousands of episodes, five five a week, forever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I you know, I I really liked the first Johnathan Kin.
Speaker 3: I think that character, that actor was one of the
Speaker 3: highlights of the first two seasons. I was like, whenever
Speaker 3: they recast them, I'm like, really, you can't write off
Speaker 3: a character like that. It's a twin brother and there's two.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you can't do like. I don't know
Speaker 3: how else they would have gone about it.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: So Yeah, and apparently, you know, whatever was going on
Speaker 3: in the actors's personal life, he seems to figure it
Speaker 3: out and he's still he's I've seen him be friends
Speaker 3: again with the cast and all that. So if they
Speaker 3: had any issues, they've kind of ironed the mouths, the
Speaker 3: least publicly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that's good to see. So so that's what you hate,
Speaker 3: don't like, Oh man, what really happened? There is people
Speaker 3: mad at each other's some rift there. I think the
Speaker 3: new guy is really good. I mean, I guess there's
Speaker 3: two ways to do it right. You could try to,
Speaker 3: like cast someone who looks exactly like him and has
Speaker 3: him like, hey, act exactly like this guy, or can say,
Speaker 3: let's just capture the energy of what this character she means.
Speaker 3: You know, I think, I mean, they're very different, but
Speaker 3: I like them.
Speaker 1: I like them both.
Speaker 4: I did too, And it is a shame of that
Speaker 4: first act because I really liked him too. I got
Speaker 4: to meet him when I.
Speaker 1: You had a picture with the twins, I did the
Speaker 1: O G Twins.
Speaker 4: So uh. And then when they when they rec Like
Speaker 4: the funny thing is like I found out about the
Speaker 4: recasting stuff like a month after.
Speaker 3: That takes you a lot more viable now, it sure is. Sure,
Speaker 3: that's that's the tradition of Superman shows. They're always recasting people.
Speaker 3: Even in the Eventure of Superman, the nineteen fifty show
Speaker 3: with George Reaves, the recast Littles Lane.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Then and the super Boys show they recast super Boy
Speaker 3: and likes Luthor, you know. And then in Lewis and
Speaker 3: Clark they recast Jimmy Olsen and Small Bold. They never
Speaker 3: really recast her by They like the whole plastic surgery
Speaker 3: wants the Morgan edge and that was like, that's a
Speaker 3: guest start. Like the main characters ever had to be recast.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they would have done in season
Speaker 3: ten if micro Rosmom didn't come back. They might have
Speaker 3: actually just had to do it just to like, well,
Speaker 3: we have to resolve, we have to resolve the Starry
Speaker 3: now they did. I mean, they did have Kinsey Gray
Speaker 3: play Lex and the season ten premiere. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 3: a little again, that's like, all right, we're working towards Lex.
Speaker 3: He's a he's an old clone, guys. But uh, anyway,
Speaker 3: I'll have to say no, I I really he mentions
Speaker 3: how I really like that character. First, I was like,
Speaker 3: it was probably morgana edge just using your compag knowledge
Speaker 3: against you again like you said earlier, but turned out
Speaker 3: to be one of the best characters. I love Uncle
Speaker 3: tow and I hope he comes back for season four.
Speaker 3: I don't want to look up if he's there or not,
Speaker 3: because I'm gonna be disappointed when inevitably to find out, No,
Speaker 3: he's not gonna back. But I guess he did go
Speaker 3: off to that bizarre worth at the end of he
Speaker 3: that's where he is, so we get at least you
Speaker 3: can say that's where he went instead of being like, uh,
Speaker 3: where is he?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, are you are you watching Shumane Lowis?
Speaker 5: No, no, but actually should this This particular email heads
Speaker 5: me interested.
Speaker 2: It has me peaked good. So it's all in season
Speaker 2: four now, or it's about it's.
Speaker 3: About to be season four later this year, okay, and
Speaker 3: it's the final season.
Speaker 2: Because I was like, oh, they did all of that
Speaker 2: in the first season, as.
Speaker 1: He clearly says, their second season.
Speaker 5: No, no, I knew what happened the first season, but
Speaker 5: I was just saying that a lot more happened in
Speaker 5: the second one.
Speaker 1: It's a really good show. Do you have Max?
Speaker 2: I do not. I don't have any streaming things, right
Speaker 2: except for YouTube.
Speaker 3: Although you were just talking about how you're like mister streamer.
Speaker 4: That was music.
Speaker 2: That was music.
Speaker 3: Okay, well it's on Max. Okay, it's also on physical media,
Speaker 3: but you're against that, as I understand it.
Speaker 5: I don't have anything that can play well, I guess
Speaker 5: my P five. But you have one of those, so
Speaker 5: I guess I could go that route, or I just
Speaker 5: find a friend with Max.
Speaker 1: I'm sure if you look around here you might find
Speaker 1: a friend with Max.
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, we will talk later.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thanks again for that email. Rocket I'm
Speaker 3: glad you're enjoining. I always want to Superman low It's
Speaker 3: it's one of our favorite projects here as well, and
Speaker 3: looking forward to season four. Only ten more episodes. That's right,
Speaker 3: I know Sarah's really excited. There's only ten more.
Speaker 4: Next, we have an email from Ken Crowley Junior. What's
Speaker 4: up Kenny, So listener feedback. Always hold on to Smallville. Hello,
Speaker 4: Zach and friends. I've been catching up on the past
Speaker 4: episodes of the podcast, but now caught up been rewatching
Speaker 4: my favorite episodes of Smallville and the DCTV aerover shows
Speaker 4: like Superman and Lois and Supergirl. By the way, WB
Speaker 4: Home Entertainment still needs Superman season three on Blu ray
Speaker 4: disc right now that hopefully, now that the writer and
Speaker 4: actor strikes are over with, we can get the past
Speaker 4: seasons of TV shows on Blu ray disc and DVD.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is out now.
Speaker 3: I own it on there is nice as I support
Speaker 3: physical media.
Speaker 2: There it is, I probably should.
Speaker 4: Here are my final thoughts on the DCEU DC Extended
Speaker 4: Universe film.
Speaker 1: You're the perfec person. We don't plan this at all.
Speaker 1: This is it's fantastic.
Speaker 4: From twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three. Keep in mind
Speaker 4: I have yet to see Aquaman in the Lost Kingdom yet,
Speaker 4: getting it on four k U h D Blue ray
Speaker 4: disc in.
Speaker 1: March Tiscal Media.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the DCU had a ton of good concepts and ideas,
Speaker 4: but ultimately it just did not work out as well
Speaker 4: as it could have been, and it was wasted potential. Sure,
Speaker 4: we got some great films like Wonder Woman, aquamanages Am,
Speaker 4: plus Zack Snyder's Cut Up Justice Leag.
Speaker 1: Those are my top four, So I agree with you
Speaker 1: through ranking. They're kiddy not necessarily that order, but I
Speaker 1: agree with that. There is my top four, my mount
Speaker 1: Rushmore if you will. Oh did you see EU? But
Speaker 1: yours too? I think? Is it.
Speaker 4: Of those films?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 1: Have you seen any of these whilps?
Speaker 2: I've seen the first three, I still have not.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the Snyder cut.
Speaker 5: I have not seen the Snyder cut. Remember I told you.
Speaker 5: I think we talked about this before. Somebody somebody can
Speaker 5: email and say that, but h I The version that
Speaker 5: my friends wanted me to watch was the black and
Speaker 5: white version, and we were a watch it online on
Speaker 5: Discord and I just fell asleep.
Speaker 1: Watching it as Jack watching online on Discord.
Speaker 5: All right, that's what they wanted to do that night.
Speaker 5: It was probably already one o'clock and I fell asleep.
Speaker 4: Just hilarious.
Speaker 2: AFK guy in a different channel.
Speaker 4: Look, I've even seen it in black and white.
Speaker 1: You watched it in black and white? Yeah, well look
Speaker 1: at you?
Speaker 3: All right, welcome aboard. I watched them black and white
Speaker 3: once too, and I was like, well, this doesn't need
Speaker 3: to be black and white.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2: I think that's what drew me away. It is like,
Speaker 2: this doesn't have to be black and white, but I
Speaker 2: have to get around to watching it. Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 4: Anyway. So plus Zack snyders cut in the Justice League,
Speaker 4: but for me as a whole good try, but needed
Speaker 4: to be great. Compare that to the cw DC TV
Speaker 4: era verse, which felt more like those early DC Silver
Speaker 4: age and Bronze age, plus the New fifty two comic books.
Speaker 4: The TV it felt like those the TV show's flaws
Speaker 4: and all did so much better than the DCEU on
Speaker 4: the big screen. Can I get an amen?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 4: Overall because the darker tone the DCEU, aside from the
Speaker 4: three films, just did not do it for me. It
Speaker 4: fell way below the DCAU and the DCTV Aero Verse,
Speaker 4: and I don't plan on revisiting the films anytime soon. Also,
Speaker 4: the DCEU felt more like the New fifty two comics,
Speaker 4: which were a hit and miss for me, and I
Speaker 4: just did not like the way they handled Henry Cavill
Speaker 4: Superman and the DCEU w B would not let him
Speaker 4: be Superman, be Superman, be the character and it showed
Speaker 4: plus not having him enough. As Clark Kent, I find
Speaker 4: your podcast, guys, very entertaining and I love it every week.
Speaker 4: Keep up the super amazing work, guys. We're all part
Speaker 4: of the same team and always hold on the small
Speaker 4: Ville Sincerely, longtime DCTV Smallville and Superman fan Kenny Crowle
Speaker 4: Junior from Ohio.

Speaker 2: It's hilarious.
Speaker 3: That's great, so well, thanks Kenny. Yeah, and I like
Speaker 3: the DCU more than Lance. Yes, but I do agree

Speaker 3: did you think about the dc Are you glad it's over?
Speaker 1: Are you sad?
Speaker 2: I'm kind of indifferent.
Speaker 5: I enjoyed the movies that I watched just for like
Speaker 5: entertainment purposes. Uh, but it didn't really feel as cohesive
Speaker 5: that it should be.
Speaker 2: But we'll see what the.
Speaker 1: New diplomatic answer. It's okay to have some real opinions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, Unfortunately I don't have opinions. That's how I
Speaker 5: am a very middle around fence guy. I mean, if anything,
Speaker 5: Adam with the Rock with the Rock, Oh yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: What did you think?
Speaker 2: I really liked it?
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, I completely forgot about that movie though.
Speaker 4: Actually there there lies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, there lies a problem. I've completely
Speaker 2: forgotten me.
Speaker 1: It is one of the most generic, forgetable mid movies
Speaker 1: of all time. But I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: It was enjoyable. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a great post credit scene, didn't.
Speaker 4: Let's all right, poor man man, poor guy.
Speaker 1: Al Right, Well, thanks kidding. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: All right, And now we got an Apple podcast review
Speaker 5: five stars by bisc Underscore L nine nine one two.
Speaker 5: It's a legends review. Great job, love listening, he said,
Speaker 5: the three of you doing this review.
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think this is Eddie Bissell, who's
Speaker 3: one of our listeners, and awesome it's been on the
Speaker 3: show as well, and I think he said, well, he's
Speaker 3: talking about the episode Legends when I had Jeff Johnson.
Speaker 3: So it's me and Jeff Johns and my friend John
Speaker 3: Brody who was making Yeah, John really coming through making
Speaker 3: these connections. Now connect us with Sam Whitber, now, connect
Speaker 3: us with Jeff Johns for friends with all that now
Speaker 3: and that was that was really fun. Jeff Johns is
Speaker 3: my favorite comic writer, so it was really fun talking
Speaker 3: to him about that episode. And he's going to be
Speaker 3: back for Booster this season. It all goes well, schedules allowed.
Speaker 3: He's a busy guy, but yeah, we're gonna make it
Speaker 3: work in our schedules if we can. So uh yeah,
Speaker 3: that was that was a lot of fun. And that was,
Speaker 3: you know, part two of a two party he worked on.
Speaker 3: This will just when he's back for Booster, just be
Speaker 3: that just one that one episode. Yeah, he's a nice
Speaker 3: split society and Legends into two is just to have
Speaker 3: more content really because that's absolutely just do you know
Speaker 3: absolute justice small absolute justice?
Speaker 2: Nick not off the top of my head?
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't think.
Speaker 2: So you're asking me.
Speaker 1: Why you asked questions you.
Speaker 3: Send me anyway, Thanks Eddie uh for that five star
Speaker 3: Apple Podcast review. All right, have an email from Brandon
Speaker 3: Litele our of our new stats guys. Got three stats guys.
Speaker 3: I've got Corey Moore dare to win a and Brandon.
Speaker 4: Litele appreciate you have an analytics department.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's we got Moneyball working over here. Analytics departments. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it goes.
Speaker 3: Always Hold on to Heroes is the title. Hey, Zach,
Speaker 3: I think it's funny how none of your guests have
Speaker 3: ever really watched past season two of Heroes.
Speaker 1: False?
Speaker 3: Well, I have you have? Really the only two If
Speaker 3: they've watch it, it all like you. I suck with
Speaker 3: it through all four seasons. Even though let's call it
Speaker 3: interesting direction they took a postseason two despite the baffling
Speaker 3: character in writing decisions they made, I still think Heroes
Speaker 3: is a really interesting take on the superhero genre. Every
Speaker 3: other different take relies heavily on evil Superman looking at you,
Speaker 3: the boys in Invincible, and it's gotten pretty stale.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: You may not really want to go do Heroes once
Speaker 3: Always on the smuvel is finished, But even if nobody listens,
Speaker 3: I'll be there to the whole rod. I enjoy that
Speaker 3: show and to be excited to hear your thoughts on it,
Speaker 3: so you can just rest assured you'll have at least
Speaker 3: one listener. Thanks again for all the content you've put out,
Speaker 3: Brandon litele.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I have joked about always on Heroes eight from day one,
Speaker 3: from the jump around here, because remember when I started
Speaker 3: the podcast Heroes, it had been relatively recently ended and
Speaker 3: Heroes Reborn was coming. Now there's been talk of a
Speaker 3: further continuation and I'm like, well, if they do that,
Speaker 3: I have to do it.
Speaker 2: And we don't have any celebrities doing rewatch.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's true. As soon as I started, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be uh my little how I've never been able
Speaker 3: to Mile Damilia and Aiden Panetary.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll we'll continued to always along the Heroes
Speaker 3: when we are another round here.
Speaker 1: So thanks Brandon.
Speaker 4: All right, Next, we have an email from Gretchen Clements.
Speaker 4: Hello from a new fan.
Speaker 2: Hi, Zach.
Speaker 4: My name is Gretchen. I've been binging always holding on
Speaker 4: a small bill and I felt compelled to write in
Speaker 4: after I listened to your episode on tune where you
Speaker 4: and Lance both said that you didn't know anybody named
Speaker 4: Gretchen Tragic. You also said that's a good name for
Speaker 4: a dead girl. I'll ignore that.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Gretchen, I forget the context of that.
Speaker 2: David side as well.
Speaker 4: That was also a long time he Look, you're reading.
Speaker 1: This one again. We don't plan this all work out.
Speaker 4: But Gretchen, you'll be happy to know that I sat
Speaker 4: next to a pretty bad ass trombone player named Gretchen
Speaker 4: for about two and a half years. So you are
Speaker 4: now this second person name Gretchen that I know. Um,
Speaker 4: please d meet you. Continuing, I just started listening to
Speaker 4: your podcast a few weeks ago, and I'm so sorry
Speaker 4: I didn't start sooner. I remember hearing about it a
Speaker 4: few years back, but I had my doubts about the
Speaker 4: quality of a fan made show. I was so wrong.
Speaker 4: I've been listening to Talkville since it began, and I
Speaker 4: find it sort of enjoyable in its own way. But
Speaker 4: my not having an actual fan on the show, I
Speaker 4: feel they miss out on so much. That frustration led
Speaker 4: me to finally listen to your show, and I really
Speaker 4: love it. It's been great hearing you guys lovingly pick
Speaker 4: on all the silly little things about the show. You
Speaker 4: guys get it. Thank you one last thing, if you
Speaker 4: are ever in southwest Missouri. I recommend checking out this
Speaker 4: little Superman Museum ice cream parlor. I discovered it's called Carterville,
Speaker 4: population eighteen fifty five. I guess you could say it's
Speaker 4: a small vill I visited it there last year and
Speaker 4: got a drink called a Kryptonian Delight. I don't think
Speaker 4: they used real meteor rocks, though, because I didn't get
Speaker 4: any powers afterward or put on a chilling chiad outfit.
Speaker 4: Thanks again for making great a great show. Hopefully I
Speaker 4: will be caught up before you start the final season. Gretchen,
Speaker 4: not the one in the talent bathroom.
Speaker 3: It showed that. Not the one in the talent bathroom.
Speaker 3: All very goodson.
Speaker 1: I have read that episode in a while back.
Speaker 3: I haven't listened. I haven't really listened to that one.
Speaker 3: I should obviously. You know, we do so many of these,
Speaker 3: and you forget what you say, and they're always fun
Speaker 3: to revisit, and sometimes it's like, oh yeah, sometimes I
Speaker 3: feel like I could have said that yesterday, And sometimes
Speaker 3: it's like, wow, yeah, what you've been talking about. So
Speaker 3: you also include a couple of pictures in your email.
Speaker 1: I'll post that and our and our social media kryptonite
Speaker 1: delight is that drink?
Speaker 3: You know, the reference to the caterade from from devoted,
Speaker 3: So that's the where the cheerleading outfit joke comes from
Speaker 3: or not I can any powers, but no, I'll check
Speaker 3: out that that though, that that town and the Superman museum.
Speaker 3: Always gonna look out for a good Superman museum and
Speaker 3: get some ice cream.
Speaker 5: Eighteen fifty five is small, right, that's right. How how
Speaker 5: many kids was in our high school?
Speaker 1: About more than that more than that, right, two thousand
Speaker 1: at least at least.
Speaker 4: Right, because my graduating class was six eighty six, right,
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 3: Was about six hundred as well, So there you go,
Speaker 3: twenty five hundred, three thousand kids probably then do.
Speaker 1: The match that small town the h yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: small was like population. You know, you're driving a smallville.
Speaker 3: You know you're driving a small on the show people,
Speaker 3: And this is the big signs like population is like
Speaker 3: forty thousand, like forty thousands, like Sureland.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, climb at the top of the windmills downtown Houston,
Speaker 3: right exactly, just like our watchtow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right back in the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks again for that Emailgrention.
Speaker 2: That was great, all right, now we have an email
Speaker 2: from Jan Rollings a passionate defense of season eight, and
Speaker 2: I said my passionate defense of season.
Speaker 1: Six Boilers Munich.
Speaker 5: So you haven't seen I'm sure I'll not remember any
Speaker 5: of this when I watch it, Zach. This is Jan Rollings.
Speaker 5: First off, I wanted to thank you for this awesome podcast.
Speaker 5: I just I covered this in the fall of last
Speaker 5: year and have been listening to it ever since. I
Speaker 5: haven't listened to every episode, but I've been hopping around randomly.
Speaker 5: I've been doing the same with the show proper, so
Speaker 5: I usually listen to your coverage for whatever batch of
Speaker 5: episodes I just binged. It's been so fun to listen
Speaker 5: to you talk about the show, Superman in general and
Speaker 5: everything else. It's also gotten me hook on digging for
Speaker 5: Kryptonite and all Stars super Fan.
Speaker 2: Shout out to our friends over there. Yeah, loved the
Speaker 2: little web of Superman shows.
Speaker 1: Y'all have no I love those two shows.
Speaker 3: All those guys do those shows of Anthony, Rob and Allen.
Speaker 3: Shout out to them, and yeah, I rebroadcast their posts
Speaker 3: because I love their shows and forward to them and Eddieah.
Speaker 3: If you were looking for other Superman content, definitely I
Speaker 3: recommend those two shows.
Speaker 5: So I was listening to some season eight coverage and
Speaker 5: I noticed that you seem to have season five really
Speaker 5: high and pretty down on Season eight second half, which
Speaker 5: drags the whole season down and in your overall rankings.
Speaker 5: As someone who loves season eight, I wanted to pin
Speaker 5: a passionate defense. Season five has obvious strengths, but as
Speaker 5: I rewatched several episodes from it last week, I found
Speaker 5: myself skipping large chunks of several episodes. I think the
Speaker 5: Clark Lawana drama is especially insufferable that season, and I
Speaker 5: think Clark himself becomes incredibly frustrating throughout season five. He's
Speaker 5: so whiny and passive. Several episodes Looking at You, Mercy
Speaker 5: and Hypnotic barely focus on him at all, and there's
Speaker 5: a huge chunk of season where he's not involved in
Speaker 5: the Brainiac plot whatsoever. This really hampers the season for me.
Speaker 5: Wellings brings charm where he can, but Clark's kind of
Speaker 5: a bummer. This gets even worse in season seven.
Speaker 1: I don't argue with you there, where Clark is.
Speaker 5: Almost a non entity while Brainiac, Veritas, Lionel, and Lex
Speaker 5: are all playing these fourth dimensional chess games about a
Speaker 5: guy who spends time looking MOPy in a bar. I
Speaker 5: find myself yelling at my TV for him to take
Speaker 5: some control over his life. Than that season it drives
Speaker 5: me insane compared to season eight, where Clark is absolutely
Speaker 5: on point. The writer's cleverly retcon season seven and honestly
Speaker 5: most of the college dropout years as this long depression
Speaker 5: existential crisis that Clark fell into after his dad died.
Speaker 5: I doubt that was the intention. Alan Miles probably just
Speaker 5: didn't want to take Clark too far, and we're thinking
Speaker 5: of ways to extend the show as well to keep
Speaker 5: it getting renewed, but it was a clever piece of writing.
Speaker 5: Clark in season eight is so good. He's proactive, strong willed,
Speaker 5: a good leader, funny, is invested in protecting complete strangers
Speaker 5: and not just as friends and family, and actually starts
Speaker 5: holding himself and the others to a strong moral code.
Speaker 5: He's no longer upon of the other characters, but is
Speaker 5: actually playing a chess game himself. See his brilliant manipulation
Speaker 5: of Oliver and Injustice. Yes, season eight falls apart plot
Speaker 5: wise at the end, but those weaker storylines are so
Speaker 5: much easier for me to swah. I have a protagonist
Speaker 5: that I can one hundred percent get behind and root for.
Speaker 5: Take Injustice again. This episode embodies some of Smallville's worst tendencies.
Speaker 5: It's awkwardly written around cast absences. It offers a pretty
Speaker 5: crappy payoff to what was a cool setup. This is
Speaker 5: our Injustice League, sure, Butcher's three Superman rogues that I
Speaker 5: love it very much feels like it's patting out the
Speaker 5: final stretch of the season. But I found this episode
Speaker 5: was incredibly enjoyable on this watch because Clark is so
Speaker 5: damn competent. He's rightfully holding Allian test for task, how
Speaker 5: moral and violent they've been acting. He puts together a
Speaker 5: truly smart and clever plant to save Davis and get
Speaker 5: rid of Doomsday. He manages to save Plastique and Parasite
Speaker 5: from getting suicide squatted.
Speaker 2: He truly feels.
Speaker 5: Like he's become Superman by this point, and I'd hold
Speaker 5: this episode's portrayal of Clark over all of Superman's DCEU
Speaker 5: appearances as a superior version and even without a costume,
Speaker 5: even when he's out of line in season eight, like
Speaker 5: giving Chloe's list of Metea or infected patients to the cops,
Speaker 5: or almost leaving his life in Metropolis behind to run
Speaker 5: away with Lana. It feels more reasonable. In the case
Speaker 5: of the former, he had just seen a dozen people
Speaker 5: get brutally killed and was desperate to stop more murders,
Speaker 5: and in the latter he is much more self aware
Speaker 5: and is berating himself for falling to the same traps
Speaker 5: by the start of the following episode. So while I
Speaker 5: can agree with your frustrations on Doomsday as a finale,
Speaker 5: I think season eight deserves some real credit for truly
Speaker 5: revitalizing the show and for salvaging wellings Clark. I also
Speaker 5: think season six is a little better than you gave
Speaker 5: it credit for, again thanks to Clark's acting a little
Speaker 5: more proactive there. But this emails already getting way too long. Anyways,
Speaker 5: what do you think Have I swayed you at all?
Speaker 5: Am I silly for your giving crappy writing just because
Speaker 5: this is my Superman. Love the show and can't wait
Speaker 5: to listen to more episodes.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks, jan, I hear you, But I would say,
Speaker 3: you know the phrase, it's not how you start.
Speaker 1: It's how you finish.
Speaker 3: That's season eight for you. Because that the first ass
Speaker 3: Season eight great everything you're seeing proactive Clark. The Daily
Speaker 3: Planet Vibe had going on being being a active because
Speaker 3: you've been so passive in those college drop out of years.
Speaker 3: But then the Bride is a great season finale, right,
Speaker 3: but then unfortunately there's there's twelve more episodes in season
Speaker 3: eight and all this kind of nonsense happens. But Clark
Speaker 3: Clark is good in there. Chloe is the one that
Speaker 3: has the real problem in season in season eight. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean season eight, it's it's a bottom middle tier
Speaker 3: for the seasons for me. If that it's great, you
Speaker 3: have so many seasons as small but you can say
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, Season six is still probably the
Speaker 3: worst season Justice League being its fools gold because they
Speaker 3: leave and then we have fake pregnancy and alexan a
Speaker 3: wedding and although Fans is pretty fun season finale, so
Speaker 3: there is that. Phantom is better than Arctic, but season
Speaker 3: seven has stuff like Descent Apocalypse, Traveler Partos, Travelers better
Speaker 3: than Fracture. You know, he's got Supergirl in it. Season six,
Speaker 3: I mean he's got Justice and what else? So what's
Speaker 3: the great it was.
Speaker 1: From season six? Lances other than Justice Justice. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: about slow era?
Speaker 2: Definitely not slow era.
Speaker 3: There is merit to be had in every season. I
Speaker 3: do feel interesting about Clark's Clark's characterization despite all the
Speaker 3: plot's happening around him, definitely good in season eight, way
Speaker 3: better than it was in Well. You talk season about
Speaker 3: season five, you know at the time. And I said
Speaker 3: this when I was on dog Field recently. At the time,
Speaker 3: if you asked me when the show was on, I'd say, oh,
Speaker 3: my favorite season, season five, giving all the stuff you
Speaker 3: always wanted. Then you kind of look back at it like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Like Brainank's been gone for like
Speaker 3: eight episodes. They're doing a weird way to break up
Speaker 3: Clark and Lana, and they just lost other momentum after
Speaker 3: a hundredth episode because clearly they were like, oh, this
Speaker 3: is it and then they were told this is not
Speaker 3: it and they're like, oh, well, let's let's some things.
Speaker 3: But season five at the time, I mean, would you
Speaker 3: agree that you're watching it live with me?
Speaker 1: Yes? Would you think of you favorite season as time?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And that probably held him till I started this podcast.
Speaker 2: What about you, Nick, I don't think I ever made it.
Speaker 1: Season five, well, season four is pretty rough, so I
Speaker 1: don't blame you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Now what show we talked about here? Hero or Small?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Is that a tracking thing? Like for every.
Speaker 3: Superhero show, every show period? I mean season fours are
Speaker 3: hard season most most Superman shows to make past season before?
Speaker 2: What's the season four of Community?
Speaker 1: Though? That was the gas like here, we don't talk
Speaker 1: about here.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: You don't breath large one in the community. Yeah, look
Speaker 1: at you, Look at you.
Speaker 3: See he knows things. I knew he would do that
Speaker 3: and set him up for a wink. We give Nick
Speaker 3: a hard time on here. We have a good laugh again.
Speaker 3: We've all been friends for years and probably like you
Speaker 3: hate this guy. No, we don't bring him on here
Speaker 3: to be the fool. We're here having a good time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, definitely.
Speaker 3: Oh thanks to you. I know, very well thought out email.
Speaker 3: You always send some very detailed messages and it's always appreciated.
Speaker 5: And actually this is probably getting me to you won
Speaker 5: me over for season eight, but I have never watched it.
Speaker 3: Just stop at the mid season finale midas. It's got
Speaker 3: an incredible sequence in a song too. That's the song
Speaker 3: all right? Have an email from Maurice titled awesome podcast.
Speaker 3: How's it going, Zach Lance and family Family Nick like
Speaker 3: Olive Garden because when you're here your family. I just
Speaker 3: started watching season seven and listen to your podcast of
Speaker 3: the same season and episode three fears you all reference
Speaker 3: whisper when Clark goes blind when he uses heat vision
Speaker 3: on the kryptonite versus when Carra uses it in this episode.
Speaker 3: If you all remember when Clark tried to destroy the
Speaker 3: crypt Nite, a piece of jewelry refracted the kryptonite back
Speaker 3: to Clark's eyes and blinded him. So that's why he went.
Speaker 2: It's not playing guys, it just happens.
Speaker 3: That's incredible serendipitous. Uh and Karen didn't. However, the show
Speaker 3: does a horrible job with Clark's powers when he's around
Speaker 3: the kryptonite. The krypt Knite doesn't instantly take away his power,
Speaker 3: so he should still be able to use powers and
Speaker 3: get away from the kryptonite. This is Is this another
Speaker 3: mental block like his flight? By the way, when did
Speaker 3: Bizarro come back and Clark leave? They never made the
Speaker 3: transition in the show, did they. One day he was
Speaker 3: hugging Laana and we saw Clark was with the Bizarro
Speaker 3: and Clark was in the fortress in an icicle. What's
Speaker 3: up with that? Let me answer that before. That's a
Speaker 3: big twist in the in the in the Midseas finale,
Speaker 3: season seven, I think the timing was just really perfect
Speaker 3: for Bizarrow, I guess because Clark going for the fortress
Speaker 3: to Zarrell Drew got mad at him and froz him there.
Speaker 3: It was apparently according to I think in the Companions
Speaker 3: they talk about this, the plan was like he was
Speaker 3: just gonna keep him there for like one hundred year
Speaker 3: until all his friends and family died, which is really
Speaker 3: messed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3: But then Bizarro showed up and Droll's like, all right, Clark,
Speaker 3: you got a call the most defeat the finals to him,
Speaker 3: my son. So he let him go. But then Bizarrow
Speaker 3: had escaped from like Mars or something. In my head
Speaker 3: canon's because Zorel made the eclipse, and then you know,
Speaker 3: all that's just go look it up. But you all
Speaker 3: listen to the podcast. But then Bizarre just came back
Speaker 3: and was like, well, I guess Clark's not here. I
Speaker 3: guess I'll just take over his life. Even Brainyc's like,
Speaker 3: you don't think he's gonna be upset when he sees
Speaker 3: you playing house with his girlfriend or there. I'll tell
Speaker 3: you what Season seven, brainiact is better than season seven
Speaker 3: season five of I think yea ultimately, because he's just
Speaker 3: more interesting that we has to be moly deplative and
Speaker 3: and he's there. I just feel like jameson Marshers is
Speaker 3: like he's not there for like the middle of the season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're over the portal for ZN which is the
Speaker 1: last time I quite that all the time. For some reason.
Speaker 3: It's just that that's that delivery that lives in my
Speaker 3: head went free, so that that's what happened there. Bizarre
Speaker 3: just got really lucky inconvenient with with taking over Clark's life.
Speaker 3: He goes on to say, also, I think a lot
Speaker 3: of should have really died before she revealed herself to Clark.
Speaker 3: I felt that Clark was beginning to move on, but
Speaker 3: she had to come back and screw everything up. So far,
Speaker 3: I'm loving you guys's commentary on this season. I also
Speaker 3: liked the roundtables for the Snyder cut of Justice League.
Speaker 3: Mister Lance I agreed that the first two seasons of
Speaker 3: Arrow were the best. I didn't hate season three, but
Speaker 3: I thought it was decent. I stopped watching Arrow after that,
Speaker 3: but right back up when the series was on Netflix.
Speaker 3: Excuse the long email. Catch later, Maurice. By the way,
Speaker 3: I did leave a five star rating on iTunes, but
Speaker 3: I'm under a different alias.
Speaker 1: Remember that show. We thanks Mark do iTunes.
Speaker 3: I also still in my heart to call it iTunes
Speaker 3: some good points there.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think a lot.
Speaker 3: I don't think you should have died in like season six,
Speaker 3: but I think she should have died in Reckoning anything
Speaker 3: that should have switched those deaths, because we're all expecting
Speaker 3: Jonathan to die, right, because that's kind of like this
Speaker 3: one of the rights of pastors are trouperman and most
Speaker 3: of the interpretations, So if he died first, you're like, oh, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what happened. And then when he undoes it, you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, what's gonna happen now? And then Lana
Speaker 3: dies and then she becomes the Gwinn Stacey and like
Speaker 3: and again that the trope of like, you know, killing
Speaker 3: off the love interest to propel the hero to the
Speaker 3: next you know, propel the hero to his next journey
Speaker 3: sort of thing. That is a trope and I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I don't like Little Hope she died.
Speaker 3: I was like, they literally had nothing to do with
Speaker 3: his character after the middle of season five. I really
Speaker 3: liked him at the very beginning season five where he
Speaker 3: was powerless and they had a great thing going on.
Speaker 3: But look what what does what happens to Lana after Reckoning?
Speaker 3: After Hunt this episode, her and Clark break up in
Speaker 3: a real weird, messy way. Uh, Lex gets with her. Uh,
Speaker 3: he fakes a pregnancy. She marries Lex Luthor. She captures
Speaker 3: Lionel in a bear trap and the cabin in the woods. Right,
Speaker 3: she goes on some revenge rampage. The Clark has to
Speaker 3: stop her kill Lex. Then she gets kryptonite powers. Oh
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. She gets possessed by Brainiac and then get
Speaker 3: goes in, goes in off the grid, breaks up the
Speaker 3: Clerk with a Dear John video only douse. Christian Kirk
Speaker 3: went to go make the Street Friday movie comes back.
Speaker 3: Derail season eight gets a subdermal kryptonite super suit, so
Speaker 3: she physically can't be with Clark, and that's how they
Speaker 3: break them up. Spoiler's nick, Yeah, that is so wild,
Speaker 3: just to hear that, Does they get you excited to
Speaker 3: watch the novel?
Speaker 2: Not really?
Speaker 3: So that is why I say, maybe she just killed
Speaker 3: her off? Well right, people be upset about it, Yes,
Speaker 3: but then you finally forced you to move on from Lata.
Speaker 3: They just they just really dropped the wall with him
Speaker 3: moving on from wat the show. I guess never thought
Speaker 3: it would have to do it, But you're ranning tin,
Speaker 3: you're running ten years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what if toun Leu took off and that's what
Speaker 2: they were hoping for and then she wouldn't be able
Speaker 2: to do shows?
Speaker 3: Well, she would contractedly obvieiated to come back from five
Speaker 3: episodes because of the writers strike.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, because she didn't.
Speaker 3: She didn't come back when all the other actors did,
Speaker 3: so they got her for season eight. So yeah, I
Speaker 3: agree with you there. Thanks for the email, Laurie's yes
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 4: Next we have an email from mister Brandon Lytel again
Speaker 4: titled X Files. Hey, is that you talk about the
Speaker 4: X Files a decent bit on your podcast And I
Speaker 4: had a lot of friends when I was younger that
Speaker 4: really liked it, so I decided to try it out
Speaker 4: for the first time. I think it's a really interesting show,
Speaker 4: but I can't help but look at it through the
Speaker 4: small lens of Smallville. Do you ever watch X Files
Speaker 4: and think to yourself that this is an alternate universe
Speaker 4: of Smallville where the media Shower happened, but Clark never
Speaker 4: came to Earth. All the alien technology and mutations is
Speaker 4: just basically the FBI dealing with the freaks of the
Speaker 4: week because Superman isn't around to fix the problems.
Speaker 2: Just some food for thought, Brandon Letel.
Speaker 3: Brandon, I've never thought that, but it's an interesting thought experiment.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of DNA between Smallville and
Speaker 3: The X Files, all the actors, the locations they film
Speaker 3: that up in Canada, that the music Mark Snow did
Speaker 3: the music on the X Files and the music on
Speaker 3: the first half of Smallville.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's part.
Speaker 3: Of the part of the appeal, is all that kind
Speaker 3: of you know, sci fi supernatural stuff going on. And
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's some Elseworld's column book where you could
Speaker 3: have something like this, because imagine what if the hell
Speaker 3: is be your rights and all these mutations and there's
Speaker 3: no Superman around.
Speaker 1: That would be the worst.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but hey, do you like the X Files
Speaker 3: and I'm sure you've If you've heard me mention The
Speaker 3: X Files, you've heard me mentioning French. And I highly
Speaker 3: recommend French as well. And it's got the Dragon at Atlanta.
Speaker 4: It sure does, has a bunch of people in.
Speaker 3: It, and yeah, the Dragon, the Duchess of Wales making
Speaker 3: Markle yeah in two episodes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: It's so weird because they were like in the beginning
Speaker 3: of season two in Fringe, they're like, have this new
Speaker 3: character and like, you know, like, oh, okay, Megan Markle's
Speaker 3: gonna be on the show. This is before she was
Speaker 3: who she was, right, and then they just completely drop
Speaker 3: her after two episodes and like for no explanation.
Speaker 1: It'd be like if it'd be like.
Speaker 3: What they did with Kat grant On that lost the
Speaker 3: Clark a little bit, right anyway, So yeah, I highly
Speaker 3: recommend French. I described Fringe as The X Files, but
Speaker 3: half as long, and it's just alternate universes instead of aliens.
Speaker 1: So what do you watch French? Nick?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: Actually, okay, another show.
Speaker 5: You watch and I didn't complete Okay, but I just
Speaker 5: want a fan And it's funny because uh, I can't
Speaker 5: think of the scientist's name, the old guy because Walter Bishop, Yes,
Speaker 5: Walter Bishop.
Speaker 1: Steward of Gondor, Yes.
Speaker 4: And the tomato eating.
Speaker 2: That You're so creepy, That's what I mean.
Speaker 5: It's like I started to seeing him everywhere after the show,
Speaker 5: and I kept pointing out, Oh, he's the guy for Fringe,
Speaker 5: and everyone's like, what's Fringe?
Speaker 1: That's rough.
Speaker 3: He was also on DC's Lege of Tomorrow Ya, playing
Speaker 3: John Noble. Yeah, that show's wacky, y'all.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, John Nobles.
Speaker 3: He also voiced Brainiac in the Superman unbount in the
Speaker 3: animated film.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That movie wasn't that great, though, wasn't lance. That's not
Speaker 3: that Yeah, it's disappointing because it was based off the
Speaker 3: Gary Frank Jeff John's run Brainiac and they didn't draw
Speaker 3: it anything like that. But Matthew Bumer got to voice Superman,
Speaker 3: which is cool because he was always in the running
Speaker 3: to play Superman. He was in the running with Cavil
Speaker 3: and Ralph for all those years and he only got
Speaker 3: to play Superman in live action in the Japanese car commercials.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh, but then you got the voice Superman
Speaker 3: in that. So anyways, all that to say, I recommend Fringe,
Speaker 3: and yes, so we haven't watched the x Fols. I'd
Speaker 3: be curious if someone like starting it now what they
Speaker 3: feel about the x Foles because I grew up watching
Speaker 3: it as a kid and it's very nineties. If you
Speaker 3: watch that from scratch today, I don't know if audiences
Speaker 3: today would respond as well to.
Speaker 2: It, right, yeah, because it's probably things that you could
Speaker 2: be related. So why is it taken for ever of
Speaker 2: them to download this thing?
Speaker 1: Also?
Speaker 3: I mean we live in this like it's a different
Speaker 3: era now with the Internet and all that stuff that
Speaker 3: the conspiracy era and all that. If it is lost
Speaker 3: to shine because like it's oh veras huh as a
Speaker 3: certain vibe to it these days. But I love the
Speaker 3: Xfols and I really love the revival. The x Wells
Speaker 3: came back for a couple of seasons. Oh yeah, that's right,
Speaker 3: Seasons ten, which was not that good, and Season elevel
Speaker 3: which was really good. And you know, I recommend the
Speaker 3: x Foles. So thanks Brendan.
Speaker 5: All right, Now, we got an email from Rocky Tomlin
Speaker 5: always hold on to a real cast photo, Hello, Zach.
Speaker 5: In two thousand and four, my wife got made this
Speaker 5: cast photo online, and though I have always loved it,
Speaker 5: I have no idea if it's real. I've included a
Speaker 5: pick of the sign photo by the whole Cast based
Speaker 5: on your knowledge. Do you think they really signed it?
Speaker 5: I know for sure. Tom doesn't like doing stuff like this.
Speaker 2: Just curious. Thank you Rocky from the East Texas well.
Speaker 3: Thanks Rocky, And we'll post this picture as well on
Speaker 3: our social media. And I looked at it, and I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess, like I'll be like, if you got if
Speaker 3: you got it in two thousand and four good year.
Speaker 3: I mean it might have been it might have been
Speaker 3: like a charity thing or something.
Speaker 1: I don't like.
Speaker 3: Having the whole cast sign it and know it might
Speaker 3: have been the height of the smallest popularity was in
Speaker 3: maybe doing promotional things like if you told me like
Speaker 3: you got it in like two thousand and like thirteen,
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's probably fake, Tom Wallis Tom. But I
Speaker 3: mean it looked as I mean, I've seen their signatures,
Speaker 3: I have their signatures.
Speaker 1: Like it looks legit to me. I'm not.
Speaker 3: I can't give you that sticker of authenticity if that's
Speaker 3: what you're looking for, but I would I would hang
Speaker 3: it up on my wall and feel confident that that's
Speaker 3: that's really the whole cast signature's there all right. Next
Speaker 3: emails from Brandon Lytel, This one titled missed Opportunity, Hey,
Speaker 3: Zach and guess that's y'all.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 3: As you're nearing the end of your covers of Small
Speaker 3: bl I was wondering, what do you think the biggest
Speaker 3: missed opportunity of the series was. I think Whitney being
Speaker 3: killed off was a mistake. I think instead of having Lana, Chloe,
Speaker 3: and Pete all have powers in Louis Flexana, Whitney should
Speaker 3: have developed powers. He had Alana's necklace in a war zone,
Speaker 3: which is full ground for power development, and then he
Speaker 3: and Clark could have become friends who team up with
Speaker 3: Lana and not understanding how Clark could be opening with
Speaker 3: her ex and not her, And then Whitney could have
Speaker 3: later retired from hero work because it's not his calling
Speaker 3: like it is Clark's, and Ilana could have gotten back
Speaker 3: together and deway, thus removing them from the show. Curious
Speaker 3: on your thoughts, and thanks again for a great show,
Speaker 3: Brandon Lytele.
Speaker 1: Interesting. I think.
Speaker 3: There's definitely one hundred things that could have done with
Speaker 3: that character. I like what they did, but then you
Speaker 3: think about like man like he's the whole like, hey,
Speaker 3: watch off to my girl, I'm gone, and then he dies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you never like quote unquote Winny comes home. That's not winning,
Speaker 3: that's Tina Grare. So they never let's it. I mean
Speaker 3: there's a certain like real life rowdness to that, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this guy went off to warn he died, but then
Speaker 3: like I don't know that he would be a character
Speaker 3: who because Himclark went on this journey in season one together,
Speaker 3: you know where like he went from like you know,
Speaker 3: bully and jealousy and all that to like, hey, like
Speaker 3: they kind of like, you know, I've hit a weird
Speaker 3: ear at the end.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, something like some guys became bros through.
Speaker 3: All their experiences together. Like they're not being best friends
Speaker 3: or anything, just scial respect. It's a hair standing stay
Speaker 3: away from my girl. If I tell you that, she
Speaker 3: wouldn't be my girl. Hey logan, stay away with my girl.
Speaker 4: So but now in the comics they're on the reasons appropriate.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I remember when that came out that their rooms connected,
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that was very interesting.
Speaker 1: That's meant it very progressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Whitney, he's not a character. I mean, he's
Speaker 3: a vined for the show, right, if anything, like they
Speaker 3: should have Uh, there are comic book characters in Small,
Speaker 3: but like Kenny Braverman, yes, right, you could have made
Speaker 3: him one of these cast members or something like that.
Speaker 3: But I think with with the with the characters they
Speaker 3: created on their own, you're like, well, they're probably gonna die, right,
Speaker 3: because I mean we all kind of knew line was
Speaker 3: gonna die. I mean the comics like that killed his parents,
Speaker 3: but we all kind of figured that was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: And then Cholee were like, well, they teased her having
Speaker 3: a bad end forever, but then Alison Mack stayed around.
Speaker 1: They're like, well she's.
Speaker 3: Gonna stay and everybody else is gone, we should probably
Speaker 3: keep it around. So they they changed her ending about
Speaker 3: four times on the show.
Speaker 4: And Allison changed her other end so.
Speaker 3: Much for her happy ending. So that's a that's a
Speaker 3: reference to season four Small, you know the dunk tank
Speaker 3: episode Nick that one time.
Speaker 1: So much?
Speaker 2: That was the song I was singing in my head
Speaker 2: too so much?
Speaker 1: Okay this time anyway, that was that long ago.
Speaker 2: It was, Yes, it was.
Speaker 3: So well let's what you thinking about Whitney here, He's.
Speaker 4: Not like, I don't think that was. That wouldn't be
Speaker 4: my biggest missed opportunity. I actually like Brandon's Brandon's idea here.
Speaker 4: My biggest missed opportunity honestly is just the mishandling of
Speaker 4: of Lana, Like she should have been off the show earlier,
Speaker 4: like you were saying earlier, just so that way we
Speaker 4: wouldn't have had to wait so long for Lois, who
Speaker 4: was on the show while Anna was still the main
Speaker 4: character to finally become Lois, because she spent what four
Speaker 4: seasons just kind of screwing around before being Lois Lane.
Speaker 3: Well, it's the thing, but the show didn't have to.
Speaker 3: Chloe's one of the problems a lot of there, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because Chloe was doing all the things young Loew's Lane
Speaker 3: should be doing. Yes, Wna is not only in the
Speaker 3: way because it wouldn't want Clark.
Speaker 4: The way in the way of Clark right, well.
Speaker 1: I would want him to get at her with Lewis
Speaker 1: in like season five.
Speaker 4: No, well he could have just you know, he could
Speaker 4: have not been with.
Speaker 1: Somebody you know.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Lana was definitely holding him back, and I
Speaker 3: think I think my biggest misopportunity is with Lana. It
Speaker 3: would be like them actually breaking up becoming mature dolls. Hey,
Speaker 3: we're not right for each other.
Speaker 4: Because I think, yeah, that was one like like when
Speaker 4: in Bride, right, Like that's like I thought that there
Speaker 4: was like an understanding between the two.
Speaker 3: Like maybe Clark king just to talk about it, like perfect.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had like an adult, mature conversation about the
Speaker 4: status of their relationship and their association, and they both
Speaker 4: were just like, this is probably not gonna work. It's
Speaker 4: great to see you. Right, It's a little awkward, I
Speaker 4: have to admit, but it's great to see you. This
Speaker 4: is you know, let's just get through this wedding and
Speaker 4: you know, we'll just you know, we'll be we'll be
Speaker 4: done with it. We'll go our separate ways. That's what
Speaker 4: they should have done, but they didn't.
Speaker 1: Yep, w my biggest misopportunity. Do you have anything?
Speaker 2: I didn't make it that far, so.
Speaker 1: Spoilers spoilers.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Uh other email from Brandon This is about Warrior. Hello
Speaker 4: zacting guests. Hey, yeah, I just listened to your coverage
Speaker 4: for Warrior and you may have missed something. The writers
Speaker 4: didn't for yet where the talent was. Chloe obviously just
Speaker 4: appropriated some more of that queen money, which she's known
Speaker 4: to do, and build an exact replica of the talent
Speaker 4: apartment inside the Watchtop Tower. Plot hole filled thanks Brandon.
Speaker 3: So the Brandon is referring to is an episode Warrior.
Speaker 3: They're in the talent apartment, which is in small Ble,
Speaker 3: which where all the main characters live at one point
Speaker 3: or another in their lives and employees. They are talking
Speaker 3: to the guy who's Warrior Angel and then he's the
Speaker 3: whole like Aladdin, do you trust me?
Speaker 4: Thing?
Speaker 3: And they go fly out the window. It's really adorable stuff.
Speaker 3: I was really shipping those two. I mean, he's a
Speaker 3: twel year old kids, so it's problematic, but it's a
Speaker 3: big situation, a big situation. So then then they fly
Speaker 3: out the window, and then then the background played is Metropolis.
Speaker 3: It's like somebody forgot. Someone thought, well, surely these people
Speaker 3: don't live in Smallville, but they forgot they do. And
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of funny that now you could say, oh,
Speaker 3: they just super split over there, know, somebody forgot where
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 1: So that's it.
Speaker 3: That's a Brandon's referring to and I find that pretty amusing,
Speaker 3: so good, good, good, good call that. Also, yeah, Chloe
Speaker 3: was stealing Oliver Queen's money, fling it to thinking kryptonite
Speaker 3: to fight the panton the Candorians, right.
Speaker 1: I think, or something like that anyway, smoke lebble stuff.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: All right, we have an email from doctor Michael Christopher Cardiff.
Speaker 5: It's titled the Psychology. Sorry again that I'm so far behind.
Speaker 5: Believe me, you are not someone coming from somebody who
Speaker 5: has experienced I'm very far behind. I've just listened to
Speaker 5: Crypto from season four, Way behind love the whole section
Speaker 5: on emotional connection to dogs and stories about dogs. I'm
Speaker 5: with you on that. My dog George is sitting on
Speaker 5: my feet while writing this. His name's after George Bailey,
Speaker 5: but from It's a Wonderful Life, George George Bailey.
Speaker 1: I'm Murray Merry Christmas movie Those Pals.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's a great film, right, just sho this is
Speaker 3: this is before the internet. We just shouted out before
Speaker 3: the remives. You just shout out things you know from
Speaker 3: things Potter, Potter, Potter, You've seen it. It's a wonderful life.
Speaker 5: It was always one of those background movies in the
Speaker 5: back and whenever I was at a party or something
Speaker 5: like that during Christmas.
Speaker 1: You didn't. You didn't make it a point to sit down.
Speaker 5: And watch it, watch it, watch it, watch a proper
Speaker 5: I feel like I should just can somebody just make
Speaker 5: a list of movies and things that I need to watch?
Speaker 1: You need you need it, like you need an America list.
Speaker 4: You need a list like Captain America.
Speaker 1: The Internet so helpful.
Speaker 2: Yes, there you go, really helped me catch up.
Speaker 3: You know, you know the cops in Wonderful Life they're
Speaker 3: named Burt and Ernie.
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is that based off burd and Early or Burt and Early?
Speaker 1: I assume that.
Speaker 3: I assume Jan Hinson was a fan because it came
Speaker 3: out before that nineteen forty nine.
Speaker 4: I think so it was a George R. Martin, who's
Speaker 4: who has characters of House Tully or like Oscar Bert Ernie,
Speaker 4: like really Rover.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hilarious, okay, and he continues, bizarrely, I was
Speaker 5: interested as a film. Through an episode of Batman, the
Speaker 5: animated series, Robin compared Batman to George Bailey and that
Speaker 5: way they both don't understand the value that they've had
Speaker 5: on their had to their talents.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, so Batman had not seen that film. He's like,
Speaker 3: have a good pested title, which I think is always
Speaker 3: stuck with me. Yeah, because it's like, yeah, like no,
Speaker 3: not for me.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 5: You've used the term sociopath again in this episode. A
Speaker 5: lot of people use that term about antisocial traits and
Speaker 5: behavior that shows a lack of conscience. So I get it.
Speaker 5: It is a very outdated term now, maybe thirty years
Speaker 5: since it's been used. Incredible literature about psychopathy. This isn't
Speaker 5: a dig, but reminded me that if you ever feel
Speaker 5: like a psychological angle on a review of an episode
Speaker 5: would be fun, maybe I can help. That's my background,
Speaker 5: Michael Rosenbaug mentioned in an episode of Inside of You Shows,
Speaker 5: So that gave me an idea.
Speaker 2: I guess love the podcast regardless. It keeps me company
Speaker 2: while walking. George best wishes Mike.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks, Mike, I appreciate that medical insight. Well, we'll
Speaker 3: have to find an excuse for us to talk sometime
Speaker 3: on the podcast. We'll work you out here because that'd
Speaker 3: be fast. That'd be fascinating discussion about this stuffrom that perspective.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that that again, love that your dog is
Speaker 3: named George from Its Wonderful Life.
Speaker 1: That is a great movie.
Speaker 3: Hopefully you hopefully you enjoyed our shouting out lines. This
Speaker 3: is a doctor here, I feel, No, that's a great
Speaker 3: that's a great film. And yeah, sociopaths, psycho But these
Speaker 3: are all I mean, we as we evolve as society. Obviously,
Speaker 3: there are terms that people used to say all the
Speaker 3: time that we don't say anymore, and perhaps that's when
Speaker 3: we should just kind of phase out.
Speaker 1: And I know, I agree.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people use it interchangeably. I mean,
Speaker 3: my use of these terms comes from my observing in
Speaker 3: a pop culture and how it's been used there, and
Speaker 3: so I just kind of repeat, repeat it, you know what. So, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: there are differences between sociopass, psychopath, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well we'll be in touch.
Speaker 3: Like an email from Brandon Lytle titled turbulence, Hey, Zach,
Speaker 3: and guess I thought it was pretty interesting conceit that
Speaker 3: Clerk couldn't fly to the mental block of being afraid
Speaker 3: of heights. However, I don't think the writers crwly use
Speaker 3: that for Park literally jumps out of a plane, doesn't
Speaker 3: seem like he's afraid eyes anymore. Just wondering what you
Speaker 3: thought about that. Brandon Litel a good point. Actually made
Speaker 3: this point myself when I was originally on Talkville, and
Speaker 3: Tom agreed with me. He was like, he had to
Speaker 3: reach his higher, higher consciousness man, And I was like,
Speaker 3: that's deep. He's like, well, I didn't know that then.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Turbulence is an episode of season eight that I remembered
Speaker 3: zero about except for one thing, and it was Clark Shop.
Speaker 3: I think it was like, look, it was a like
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do with situation?
Speaker 1: Right? You know what option?
Speaker 3: And he isn't vulnerable. I wonder like, so what did
Speaker 3: you do? Like did he just curl up in like
Speaker 3: a round test and they hit the ground like a crater?
Speaker 1: They got it? I don't know. Maybe he didn't land
Speaker 1: on his feet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I haven't seen that episode, but even if
Speaker 2: there still would be.
Speaker 3: We don't see him land by the way, you know.
Speaker 1: The budget for that. But lived, Yeah, she was fine.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's some force magic.
Speaker 1: Then. Well.
Speaker 3: The thing with Superman is when he can fly, he
Speaker 3: control his his speed and that's why he can catch people.
Speaker 1: And they don't like break.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when you can't fly, you're all at the
Speaker 3: same gravity, you know, So huh. I don't know that's
Speaker 3: that's that's a good point there, But I that would
Speaker 3: have would that have cured your fear? I maybe would
Speaker 3: have cured your fear of heights exposure therapy, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll have to talk to Mike about that, doctor Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, thanks for that, Thanks to that question. That's
Speaker 3: an interesting question, Brandon, but I you have to go
Speaker 3: with that otherwise wise Clark not flying.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 4: Another one from Brandon. This one's Persuasion. Uh hey, Zach,
Speaker 4: just listen to your coverage of Persuasion, which I agree
Speaker 4: is a fun episode. I do agree that they unified
Speaker 4: undefined effects of Gemstone kryptonite are a bit of a letdown.
Speaker 4: And wonder what your thoughts are on the idea of
Speaker 4: having them used pink kryptonite for the Valentine's episode instead.
Speaker 4: It would have been a quite unique, quite different episode,
Speaker 4: but I think it could have been a fun just
Speaker 4: for a one off rad it.
Speaker 1: So that's screat me if I'm wrong. What does pink
Speaker 1: kryptonite too, It's a great question.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it changes your sexual orientation. Somebody looked
Speaker 3: that up as we're talking.
Speaker 4: Pink.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is live because there was a story in
Speaker 3: the early two thousands where he super Meg is exposed
Speaker 3: to pink kryptonite, and they did a lot of tropes
Speaker 3: now frowned upon tropes of those sorts of things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the pink kryptonite is a type of cryptonite that
Speaker 4: seemingly turns Kryptonians gay, according to the Superman fandom Wikipedia.
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, so I definitely see why they didn't use that.
Speaker 3: We've evolved as a society people, Okay, so what else
Speaker 3: to say about that. I'm glad they did not use
Speaker 3: pink krypton on Smallville, I think, and I never read
Speaker 3: that issue, but from what I heard from it, it
Speaker 3: was like all of the bad tropes you can think
Speaker 3: of that happened was, oh he's gay now, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: those happen, right, and it's like, hmm, well, let's not
Speaker 3: do that. And I hope that pink Kryptie does not
Speaker 3: appear in any other iterationis forman or they just change
Speaker 3: what it means. They've changed what the meaning A lot
Speaker 3: of these colors do so many times they can easily
Speaker 3: change that to make it more acceptable, socially acceptable these.
Speaker 2: Days, because that's and not offensive.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, so no, but the gymstone kryptonite, that was
Speaker 3: the kind of that it was you know something about you.
Speaker 3: It's undefied, as I said, undefined because like his eyes
Speaker 3: would glow and something with somebody would do something that
Speaker 3: the asked for.
Speaker 1: But like does he have to say a specific word?
Speaker 1: Is it magic? Is it?
Speaker 3: They should have made a kryptonite basically, like I should
Speaker 3: have just made it some magic potion. And I don't
Speaker 3: like magic and Superman mixing like that, honestly, but in
Speaker 3: this case, there's no science to this magic. So why
Speaker 3: how do you make because this woman has like spark
Speaker 3: like sparkles, would you do some industrial thing that's gonna
Speaker 3: grind down alien rock into this is corey and small
Speaker 3: than Okay.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I love that episode.
Speaker 3: Actually, it's the better of the two Valentins the episodes
Speaker 3: because there's Crimson and there's persuasion. But it's season nine,
Speaker 3: which automatically gives it a lake up over season six
Speaker 3: is Crimson if you ask me, So there you go.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the email, Brandon.
Speaker 5: All Right, we have an email from Brittany Hawkins titled
Speaker 5: fan Mail. I started listening to you guys two years ago.
Speaker 5: I usually binge through Smallville every two years, but I
Speaker 5: thought it would be fun to switch it up and
Speaker 5: listen through a podcast instead. At the time, you had
Speaker 5: already finished seventh seasons, so I assumed by the time
Speaker 5: I got through your posted episodes you would reach season ten.
Speaker 5: I really underestimated how much I would enjoy your podcast
Speaker 5: and race through it. Having to wait each week for
Speaker 5: you to release an episode was painful. Your podcast is
Speaker 5: so good. I'm in my thirties and I was watching
Speaker 5: the last seasons of Smallville in high school, so I
Speaker 5: have such fond memories of the show. You really get
Speaker 5: the heart of the show, and I love getting to
Speaker 5: hear your conversations.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: That being said, I have to correct you about something
Speaker 5: really important.
Speaker 2: Season eight is excellent.
Speaker 1: Season four. Everyone I didn't like Firm was like, dude,
Speaker 1: that's my favorite season.
Speaker 5: How do you all not see this? You guys love
Speaker 5: to say small Ville is a blueprint, Yet how do
Speaker 5: you not see Smallville ran so so that you Netflix
Speaker 5: could fly.
Speaker 2: I've not seen you.
Speaker 5: Have you watched you I actually watched the first three
Speaker 5: or four seasons.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's been that many seasons of you. Yeah, there.
Speaker 5: It surprisingly goes that far. You'd think that it would
Speaker 5: stop at certain points, but it's pretty crazy. A crazy
Speaker 5: white boy ripping and running through the city's bearing bodies,
Speaker 5: a dumb blonde falling for as Bs every time he
Speaker 5: insists he's such a good guy, the charm turning up
Speaker 5: to one hundred every time he's about to get caught,
Speaker 5: even though you can still see the crazy leaking out
Speaker 5: of behind his eyes. That is TV Gold and Smallville
Speaker 5: did it first. Also, finally getting to see Clark deal
Speaker 5: with his emotions and Lois and being a boss is
Speaker 5: so great. It was everything we were waiting for. Oh
Speaker 5: and I know you love Chloe, but she has always
Speaker 5: been jealous and a terrible character, so it was nice
Speaker 5: to see her true colors finally coming out in season eight.
Speaker 5: You also miss something in the episode where Oliver confessed
Speaker 5: his love for Lois on the fake dating show, and
Speaker 5: later on Clark kissed Lois. I always interpreted that as
Speaker 5: the moment Clark finally manned up. He saw what it
Speaker 5: could be like for another man, and not just any man,
Speaker 5: but a billionaire Greek demigod hashtag shirtless Oliver to swoop
Speaker 5: in and get the woman that he loved. So he
Speaker 5: decided to step up, and Tess was so great she
Speaker 5: stole the show. And the wedding was such an epic episode.
Speaker 5: I know you don't like the ending with Davis having Jimmy,
Speaker 5: and you felt like it came out of nowhere in
Speaker 5: a way.
Speaker 2: It was shocking.
Speaker 5: But I've always thought Davis was freaking crazy for a
Speaker 5: long time. He was so manipulative and threatening. He seemed dangerous,
Speaker 5: and not just because he was doomsday, but because he
Speaker 5: enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that way, because I liked it because I
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that just so you know, good to.
Speaker 2: Do, because I want to do and I liked it.
Speaker 5: I'm glad that when you had the interview with Sam Whitwer,
Speaker 5: lols that bump though that.
Speaker 1: He mentioned what was funny about.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 1: I need to know, Brittany, let me know what's so funny.
Speaker 2: About his bumpkin that he mentioned.
Speaker 5: Davis was probably really messed up. I completely agree with him.
Speaker 5: You all need to rewatch season eight and given another
Speaker 5: chance with fresh eyes, enjoy the romance and the winks
Speaker 5: to the camera and except Chloe has always been such
Speaker 5: a pick me and Davis is clearly crazy for the jump,
Speaker 5: and I think you will enjoy the show more. I
Speaker 5: swear I wouldn't write to you guys, but now that
Speaker 5: I've started, I feel like I have so much to say.
Speaker 5: I don't want this to be overly long. The podcast
Speaker 5: was my first attempt at enjoying this form of media.
Speaker 5: I always thought podcasts were weird and boring, but I
Speaker 5: feel like I'm getting to be a part of a
Speaker 5: friendship around something that is a treasured memory. I know
Speaker 5: it's probably a lot of work, but your podcast brings
Speaker 5: a lot of people joy.
Speaker 3: Brittany Hawkins, Well, thanks, Brittany, And yeah, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 3: that's the goal, right doing the podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about talking about Sophie love.
Speaker 3: It's also you know, being able to talk to each
Speaker 3: other and having to stay on, you know, and re
Speaker 3: revisit something that we love together. But also you know,
Speaker 3: bring shorting people because I've been on the other side
Speaker 3: of that listening to other podcasts. Yeah, and so like
Speaker 3: you put that back into the world because anyway you're
Speaker 3: you're picking up, we're putting down, Like that's that's the goal.
Speaker 3: So there, really, Warren's my heart to see that the reaction. Yeah,
Speaker 3: being part of a friendship and a treasured memory, that's
Speaker 3: that's a great way to put it. And I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: as you heard in real time, I might stock on
Speaker 3: Chloe kind of hit hit hit the bottom during season eight,
Speaker 3: and I guess maybe, much like when with Lana and Lex,
Speaker 3: maybe they should just make Chloe full villain or something,
Speaker 3: because like because her and Clark are kind of odds
Speaker 3: and season nine a little bit, but then it kind
Speaker 3: of like all it's all fine, Like, no Chloe, everything
Speaker 3: bad that happened with Davis and Jimmy's because of you.
Speaker 3: So I don't think she really ever owned up to that.
Speaker 3: That's funny you mentioned that the taco samuelver. I think
Speaker 3: he made some good points like it Davis was already
Speaker 3: screwed up like that, that's true. But I do want
Speaker 3: to know why you laughed at the well set the bump. Yeah,
Speaker 3: please let us know. And you said you feel like
Speaker 3: you have so much to say, Please keep writing in love,
Speaker 3: your thoughts, love your takes and everything. Defending a defending
Speaker 3: season eight of It's apparently that's that's the thing now
Speaker 3: people do.
Speaker 2: It's sounding good.
Speaker 3: Season eight is the new season four, But no, I
Speaker 3: really want to know why you laughed at them.
Speaker 1: Please don't be a stranger. Keep writing in.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for that message. Brittany, all right,
Speaker 3: I have an email from Joah heern titled Mercy opera selection,
Speaker 3: Hi Zach because anybody responded with info but the opera
Speaker 3: Lionel was listening to on the car in the episode Mercy.
Speaker 3: Of course I'm years behind, since I've only been listening
Speaker 3: for about a year. Anyway, I reached out to Matthew Rocap,
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure that I reached him at an
Speaker 3: address he's currently replying to. I've not heard any update,
Speaker 3: either in a mailblike episode or subsequent Roca episode. I
Speaker 3: can imagine that he's very busy. Comes from the opera
Speaker 3: Eugene Onogen. I am interested in making a YouTube video
Speaker 3: showing a stipet by Sniper comparison of the episode to
Speaker 3: Tatiana's letter scene from Eugene Onnogen by Peter Shukowski, who's
Speaker 3: actually the name of my faceplan handle.
Speaker 4: So obviously I'm a big fan I am too, He's
Speaker 4: one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: Any advice on one equipment I would need illegal things
Speaker 3: I need to be aware of. I know it would
Speaker 3: not be money maker, just a challenge to see if
Speaker 3: I could do it. I'm not a big YouTube contributor.
Speaker 3: Once I added lyrics to a karaoke track for Modern
Speaker 3: Major General uploaded the video. If you're not worried about
Speaker 3: copyright and don't monetize, then you should be okay. Just
Speaker 3: put a disclaimer in there like this is just for
Speaker 3: entertainment purposes and you might get a seasoned assist at
Speaker 3: some point and then just take it down and then
Speaker 3: you'll be fine. Yeah, So do what you want to do.
Speaker 1: Just be where.
Speaker 3: It's a really money world out of there when it
Speaker 3: comes to that sort of thing, especially when dire with
Speaker 3: YouTube because they have algorithms that go seek out type
Speaker 3: of writing material.
Speaker 1: But that'd be fine and it's Farroka.
Speaker 3: I'll make sure that I tell him because he'll be
Speaker 3: back in season tens, don't worry, So I'll make sure
Speaker 3: that I tell him that we have identified the song
Speaker 3: that Lionel was listening to in that episode. Really enjoy
Speaker 3: your discussions, Tall Pill has some fascinating details by people
Speaker 3: who were there and sometimes can't even remember what they did.
Speaker 3: But the perspective of you and your guests somehow are
Speaker 3: even more riveting. I make sure to listen to both shows.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Joe, Well, thanks Joe. I appreciate that. And
Speaker 3: I think Gretchen had a similar sentiment early on, and
Speaker 3: it's like, hey, listen to Talkvielle, and then I'll listen
Speaker 3: to you, and here's your fun. And you know, I
Speaker 3: appreciate that. I mean, they they exist in a different
Speaker 3: lane than we do. Right, we were fans. We living well,
Speaker 3: you and I do.
Speaker 1: Nick doesn't see we.
Speaker 3: Eat, sleep and breathe this stuff. Yes, all right, we
Speaker 3: were in it. It was a job to those guys.
Speaker 3: But they have they have a unique perspective because they
Speaker 3: were there, right, And they are the guys, right, they
Speaker 3: are the Ris Clark and likes doing a show.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of fun laughing about certain things
Speaker 3: they say can do, and I will continue to do so.
Speaker 3: But I think we both can occupy.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't overlap, that's for sure. That's right.
Speaker 3: You get totally different flavor here from there. So thanks
Speaker 3: so much, Joe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I also just you know, it's it's cool
Speaker 4: to know another Tchaikowski fan out there. That's really cool.
Speaker 2: All right.

Speaker 3: you're really gonna make me pay for three or three point
Speaker 3: one to come on the pot and defend the gun verse.

Speaker 3: seen casting announcements and set pictures and and one official

Speaker 4: the pod. Uh pod later. Uh, just so I can
Speaker 4: reboot my brain from your lack of understanding of how
Speaker 4: a week's worth of activities are wrapped up into a
Speaker 4: one hour episode. You base things off of your experience,
Speaker 4: but your experience in life is extremely limited. Open your mind,
Speaker 4: stop making a substance based on you, and just talk
Speaker 4: about the episodes. Holy crap. I like the podcast, but dude,
Speaker 4: you on the show more than rosenbaumb does. That is
Speaker 4: a incorrect Oh, before you start analyzing me, I'm a
Speaker 4: twenty one year retired wolf fighter, Been there, done that,

Speaker 5: loving the podcast.
Speaker 2: Zach.
Speaker 5: Hey, I just wanted to reach out and let you
Speaker 5: know I'm loving the podcast. I've listened to most of
Speaker 5: the first two seasons in the past few weeks. Like you,
Speaker 5: I was a day one fan of the show. I'd
Speaker 5: stuck with it for all ten seasons. That includes two
Speaker 5: or three seasons where the only option was to pirate
Speaker 5: it because we didn't get a CW affiliate right away
Speaker 5: after the WBUPN merger.
Speaker 2: I forgot that happened. I actually host a pod recapping
Speaker 2: the show, Gossip Girl Non Judging Breakfast pod.
Speaker 3: Keep up the good work, all right, thanks leave. I
Speaker 3: you know I've never watched Cotch the Girl as Blake
Speaker 3: Lanley was on.

Speaker 5: of the wrong show.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've heard about you as well. I
Speaker 1: just have never watched it.
Speaker 3: Well, it seemed interesting, yeah, but there's somebody's out there
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, that seems interesting.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's so many of those. But yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks leif.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I understand the whole pirting thing because when I when

Speaker 3: episodes from non traditional means.
Speaker 1: So I understand.
