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 1: Welcome Always One to Smallville. In this podcast, we talk
Speaker 1: about each and every episode of the Young Superman Show
Speaker 1: The RAM from two thousand and one to twenty eleven
Speaker 1: on the WB and the c W. I'm her hose
Speaker 1: Zach More and we're back for another mail bag, number fourteen,
Speaker 1: and I'm drawn by from Always Holding the Arrow Lance
Speaker 1: Last or What's up? Plants? And Nick Ryan mcdoze.
Speaker 3: Hello, it's me.
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know we are friends. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is a stick you see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, it's what you said, number fourteen. It's been
Speaker 2: fourteen you guys. Yeah, we're friends.
Speaker 1: So we're in between episodes. This is the last hiatus
Speaker 1: at that Smallville took him before it's final batch of episodes.
Speaker 1: So we are in between our final batch of episodes
Speaker 1: on the on the small which is crazy to think about. Right,
Speaker 1: eight years later, we finally got through ten seasons of television.
Speaker 1: But it's time for another mail bag, and not the
Speaker 1: last mail bag, by the way, We'll be back for more.
Speaker 1: You guys know the routine, right We open up our
Speaker 1: mail bag. We have podcast reviews, emails, messages, things like that,
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna go on the list and read
Speaker 1: some of your your questions. It's great to receive these,
Speaker 1: you know. Whenever we see a message come in and
Speaker 1: I share it with you guys. A lot of the times.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I want to save it for these, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then sometimes I forget because I'll look at him
Speaker 1: and I compile them as I go, and then I'll forget,
Speaker 1: you know. So if you've been waiting for me to
Speaker 1: respond to your email for a while, I am sorry.
Speaker 1: When there are time sensitive emails, I do respond to them.
Speaker 1: But for the most part, you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: wait because I think it's more exciting to hear Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: your message on the air for sure. First off, we
Speaker 1: have an email from Dylan D'Antonio titled Smallville question. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: thank you for all your great work interviews. If they
Speaker 1: ever get that Smallville sequel animated series off the ground,
Speaker 1: what direction would you want it to take? Would you
Speaker 1: want it to follow the comics, bring in villains the
Speaker 1: show didn't do like Hank Kinshaw, Maybe develop the Justice League,
Speaker 1: bring back Lana, stick to daily Planet Shenanigans. Either way,
Speaker 1: I hope it happens. Thank you, Dylan, Well, Dylan. As
Speaker 1: exciting as it would be to get Small Veil the
Speaker 1: animated series, if I had to bet one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: on it, I would put all one hundred dollars on
Speaker 1: it not happening, unfortunately, one hundred dollars because I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, Lance and I read Awesome con twenty eighteen, Yes,
Speaker 1: where they like kind of first floated that idea. Was
Speaker 1: Tom's first convention. We went to watching DC. It was
Speaker 1: a great time and they floated this idea. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense because Rosenbaum's a voice
Speaker 1: actor and he's like championing for all these things right now.
Speaker 1: And and that was that was seven years ago. There
Speaker 1: has been actual conversations about this. It's not just like
Speaker 1: a fun idea they reference every time. And then they
Speaker 1: want to get Al Goff and Miles Millar involved, their
Speaker 1: creators of the show of Smallville. They want to get
Speaker 1: all the cast back. They've talked a lot of the
Speaker 1: cast and they'd be all happy and willing to do it,
Speaker 1: but I mean voice acting, right, So it's a lot less.
Speaker 3: Phone and records, so it's all good. Yeah, no limitations there.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean Tom's not going to put on the
Speaker 1: cost to him, Michael's not going to shave his head.
Speaker 1: If you ever want to see them quote Unque's characters
Speaker 1: again and anime, it shows a great way to go right.
Speaker 1: So what I would want to do is I would
Speaker 1: set it in between you know, the last scene of
Speaker 1: the finale and the flash forward at the end of
Speaker 1: the finale, so you see, you see all the stuff
Speaker 1: in between, kind of we know where they end up
Speaker 1: seven years in the future. So you could do seven
Speaker 1: seasons if you wanted ten episodes each. These days, they
Speaker 1: never would because nothing can last past like thirty episodes
Speaker 1: and two seasons. It's such a shame. I would explore
Speaker 1: Lex trying to get his memories back, you know, him
Speaker 1: trying to piece his life back. To the other thing
Speaker 1: that's a really fascinating component. A key thing for me
Speaker 1: is on they want to get John Glover involved, and
Speaker 1: obviously Lionel's dead, oh yeah, spoiler's neck, and I think
Speaker 1: they should have Lionel kind of be the manifestation of
Speaker 1: Lex's memories that got erased. Season in the mirror, the
Speaker 1: way Harry Osbourne sees Norman Osborne's and that's a great
Speaker 1: way to incorporate John Glover exactly. I mean, just do it.
Speaker 1: They wrote Spider Man two, Alan Miles wrote Spider Man too,
Speaker 1: so that that's what I would like to see. And
Speaker 1: then obviously you have the only planet stuff you can bring.
Speaker 1: I mean, do not just make small molest Season eleven
Speaker 1: in animation for him, like just that's its own thing.
Speaker 1: But do some Superman stuff. Bring in Batman at some point.
Speaker 1: It's inevitable, Yes, right, it's inevitable. They do that wonderful one.
Speaker 1: It is inevitable. And I know they did that in
Speaker 1: the comics, but I would just ignore the comics. It's
Speaker 1: a fun thing they did on the side, but it's
Speaker 1: not canon. That's what I want to see. Bring yeah,
Speaker 1: bring back lawa like wrap that up properly, right, So
Speaker 1: do that kind of stuff. I guess you really could
Speaker 1: use Jimmyilsen because he's not old enough. He's just a kid.
Speaker 1: And if we're starting where I want to start it right,
Speaker 1: a Neto tool, Michael McKean, who get a husband wife
Speaker 1: discount and bring them in. You gotta have Michael McKean.
Speaker 3: They can get them on the phone.
Speaker 1: That's true. Like that's the thing. Like the the Michael
Speaker 1: mckan's voice actor too. Yeah, he did the Joker in
Speaker 1: the Legend of the Dark Night episode, for example. So
Speaker 1: we love this. It would be a great continuation of
Speaker 1: the show, the only way they really can continue it now.
Speaker 1: And oh my god, what do we do about Chloe? Well,
Speaker 1: you actually you can use the phone, y'all.
Speaker 3: She's been able to use a phone this whole time.
Speaker 1: The thing about Chloe is you either don't eat her
Speaker 1: in the show because they're her and Oliver Queen are
Speaker 1: off in Star City, right, because you don't not gonna
Speaker 1: Justin Hartley is too busy to be doing this right now, right,
Speaker 1: so calling Steven, No, you just don't have the minute.
Speaker 1: And if you do have to have the minute, you
Speaker 1: get Kristen Bell. Let's Chloe problem, solve next problem. Right,
Speaker 1: It's it's it's that simple. The hook, the the overarching
Speaker 1: story would be lecturing his memories back. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: the episodic stuff would be the you know, villains of
Speaker 1: the Week and that sort of thing. So that's what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, that's what I want to see.
Speaker 3: Have you thought about that? A lot or is that
Speaker 3: all on spot?
Speaker 1: I think about it every day. Nick. Oh, but you
Speaker 1: bring back characters like Mattallo or z Atana, like you
Speaker 1: know for for guest stars, Like I really would want
Speaker 1: to get the actress back, but not as essential, you know.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3: You do a fun phantom his own thing, have z
Speaker 3: A come back. You're the finest investigator.
Speaker 1: All right, you just want to do this? Do have
Speaker 1: him show up is odd? And like have him fight Superman?
Speaker 1: Like that's the time. Finally gold the Superman stories never
Speaker 1: got to do right and and then the possibilities are
Speaker 1: endless because there's no constraints for like budget and stuff,
Speaker 1: because you can draw anything. So just come out of it.
Speaker 1: I would only ask that, did you do you know what?
Speaker 1: Do you would think ten episodes of season?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: But okay ten episodes of season? What one season a year? Please?
Speaker 1: Just like here's ten episodes and guess what we'll be
Speaker 1: back in three years with ten more? Like what has
Speaker 1: happened to animation these days? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Some have like realized the mistake and are just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're not gonna do that anymore. So shout out to
Speaker 3: Invincible for realizing that and delivering the goods.
Speaker 1: Well, it's unfortunate because James Gunn and Micro Rosemon and friends,
Speaker 1: and James Gunn is ahead of DC. I mean, like
Speaker 1: you would think he would do his boy a solid
Speaker 1: and give him a small bull show.
Speaker 3: You would think you would do a lot of things
Speaker 3: as the head of DC.
Speaker 1: That's you know what. You know what, Guys, you think
Speaker 1: I'm negative about James Gunn, all will be forgiven if
Speaker 1: he greenly at the Small Mill Animated series. Show would
Speaker 1: be a lot more positive about James Gunn. I would
Speaker 1: be happy to see him popping up every time I
Speaker 1: turn around like we are now.
Speaker 3: If James gun delivers like any Milestone character, I will
Speaker 3: start drinking all the kool aid. Well, he won't be
Speaker 3: doing that, les, So that's why I will not be
Speaker 3: drinking any kool aid.
Speaker 1: Nick, do you know who the nick? You know who
Speaker 1: the Milestone characters are?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I was gonna try to lie, but you've ain't calling
Speaker 3: me out all night today.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 1: Lance, why don't you tell him who they are?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: The most famous one is Static Oh okay, yeah, so
Speaker 3: uh but particularly like Static Icon, Rocket Hardware, the Blood Syndicate.
Speaker 3: Oh Miles Okay, I thought, like a Milestone, like, what's
Speaker 3: it called?
Speaker 1: We hit this? No, no, no, no no. I would
Speaker 1: love to see some Milestone characters. So that's so much
Speaker 1: untapped potential.
Speaker 3: I know, So do that, Yeah, d you se was
Speaker 3: locked in, they'd be using him that.
Speaker 1: Those are my top three projects. If you like you're
Speaker 1: in Georgia, DC. What do you do well those four? Yeah,
Speaker 1: small Boy, mid Series, Batman, me on with Michael Keaton,
Speaker 1: Milestone and Jack Cutter, Juste particularly, That's what I.
Speaker 3: Do, all right, shout out to his grace, So this Grace.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that email, Dylan. I'm sure we'll be
Speaker 1: talking about small with the animated series a lot as
Speaker 1: we go forward. Yeah, laughing about it's non existing.
Speaker 3: For sure. All right. Next, we have an email from
Speaker 3: Alana bearing the title is new Listener Old Crow. Hey all,
Speaker 3: I found your podcast a while back when I watched
Speaker 3: Smallwool with my brother he's seven years older, while visiting him,
Speaker 3: visiting him for a week. He was in season nine
Speaker 3: or ten, uh whatever. Season started with Lois coming Back
Speaker 3: from the future. Question mark, question mark, question mark. I
Speaker 3: stopped watching somewhere after Alexana many years back. I'm about
Speaker 3: to turn forty next month. So when I say many
Speaker 3: years back, I mean back when that season was actually airing.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 3: Stopped watching after that nightmare, but decided my head back
Speaker 3: in two seasons later, and freaking Lana was there again,
Speaker 3: so I came up and never went back until now.
Speaker 3: I still remember when I first heard about Smallville. I
Speaker 3: was in college, still visiting my old comic book store
Speaker 3: for new releases, and I saw it. A single page
Speaker 3: ad A boy in a cornfield and s Paydon on
Speaker 3: his chest, glon Kryptonie hanging from his neck, and I knew.
Speaker 3: I knew before I read the title Young kal El.
Speaker 3: I literally said that out loud. Yes, I call him
Speaker 3: by his Kryptonian name. Whenever possible, I would. I have
Speaker 3: loved Superman since I saw the first film with Christopher Reeve,
Speaker 3: probably when I was three. Heck, most likely in utero.
Speaker 3: I could hear it. Okay, I grew up with Christopher
Speaker 3: as my Superman, but as Clark not so much, because,
Speaker 3: as you said, all the movies always sped through his
Speaker 3: childhood in teen years and then just skipped his entirely
Speaker 3: his early adulthood. Boom. He's thirty, so Smallville became a
Speaker 3: true love of mine for many years. So when my brother,
Speaker 3: who lived in Vermont, offered me gummies and to watch Smallville,
Speaker 3: I didn't quite realize what I was getting myself into.
Speaker 3: When I went to bed that night, I had season
Speaker 3: one playing on my laptop. Seriously, though, imagine being on
Speaker 3: gummies and watching the scenes between Clark and Lex through
Speaker 3: fifteen plus years of life, and whispering to yourself in
Speaker 3: the middle of Vermont night. It has to be delivered, right,
Speaker 3: They know what they're doing. It's just not weed subtext.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Still here, I am somewhere in season three of my rewatch,
Speaker 3: and I found your podcast, and I'm on season one
Speaker 3: of that so new fan. However, excuse me, what do
Speaker 3: you mean that every episode of Smallville, even the bad ones,
Speaker 3: even spell Kinetic, is better than a single episode of
Speaker 3: Agents of Shield You, sir, be smirks the honor of
Speaker 3: Agent Melinda the Cavalry May. Everybody likes Melinda, May so
Speaker 3: shout out to her. I am willing to overlook it
Speaker 3: because your Smallville takes, as well as the occasional twenty
Speaker 3: minute arrow rant, are hilarious.
Speaker 1: And those early days, yes, we swear on a fake beard.
Speaker 1: Check the tape. I called it.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that show, But I'm warning you. You're charming
Speaker 3: and have a great laugh and know everything about Marvel,
Speaker 3: but there is a limit and I will fight over Agents.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to listening further respectfully and strangely enough on
Speaker 3: gummies again.
Speaker 1: A well, thank you, manna Im.
Speaker 3: That was an email.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have said many times that you know last
Speaker 1: Night Roommates. When Agents show came out season one, we
Speaker 1: watched the first like ten eleven episodes. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's enough. I'm like, oh wait, you get
Speaker 1: the episode fourteen. It gets really good after them, like
Speaker 1: that's enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's enough.
Speaker 1: And I just saw them dissolve Shield in the Winter Soldiers,
Speaker 1: So why would I watch Jason's and Shield?
Speaker 3: But Fitz Ender Simmons. That was like one of the
Speaker 3: flights Simmons was really fun.
Speaker 1: What was which one is fits? Which one of the Simmons.
Speaker 1: You don't know, do you?
Speaker 3: The Fit's was the guy Simmons.
Speaker 1: We don't know. We called him Fitz Simmons, and we're
Speaker 1: like Fits and or Simmons. Well that's what we called them, yeah,
Speaker 1: because we know the difference.
Speaker 3: We didn't know the difference crap I'm.
Speaker 1: Actually thinking about, you know, Fitz Andersimmons. She was Lex
Speaker 1: Luther's daughter on Sir sus That's correct. Really, she's a
Speaker 1: directed to In real life. She directed some episodes of
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Elizabeth Hinterridge, Yes, shout out anyway, thanks Lena and
Speaker 1: uh Jore those gummies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, And we have an Apple Podcasts review
Speaker 2: for five stars from Clark's Creek titled if I'd known, yes, listener,
Speaker 2: you might have actually loved this podcast.
Speaker 1: That is a reference to what Lionel and Lex say
Speaker 1: to each other at the end of Memoria, one of
Speaker 1: the best episodes of the show. So yes, I caught
Speaker 1: that understood. That reference.
Speaker 2: Goes on saying, well, I'm ensuring that you do know,
Speaker 2: and that, unlike Lionel, you won't have to wait until
Speaker 2: your son is three seasons into his tragic descent into
Speaker 2: villainy to learn this important piece of information. This podcast
Speaker 2: is super I have such a blast listening to Zach
Speaker 2: knowledgeably and thoughtfully to discussed Smallville, and he's often very
Speaker 2: funny too.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Always hold on to always hold on to Smallville, Klana forever.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that was great to that last line there, Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Clark's Creek appreciate that. I do
Speaker 1: try to often be funny, so I thank you for
Speaker 1: that comment and knowledgeable and thoughtful. Yeah, it's very very flattering,
Speaker 1: five star either thinking. All right, I have an email
Speaker 1: from Jake Cleveland titled x ray Vision. Hi always Wanda Smallville.
Speaker 1: Did you ever notice every time Clark tells someone about
Speaker 1: his extra vision, they close or cover their chest, But
Speaker 1: he always assures them that he never do that because
Speaker 1: he has to focus. But he never tells Lana because
Speaker 1: he actually did X ray here in the locker room.
Speaker 1: Just a funny observation. True, well maybe once, yep, as
Speaker 1: my boy. Yeah, I like that because, look, he couldn't
Speaker 1: control it. He's fifteen years old. He's going with the
Speaker 1: flow for once. And uh, that's back when they were
Speaker 1: doing see through vision and vision was because yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like ooh a skeleton. Check out that femur. It's hot
Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, I do like the X ray X
Speaker 1: ray vision though. That's the right way. It's called X
Speaker 1: ray vision. So Smallville has been the best version of that,
Speaker 1: best version of a lot of the powers, but by
Speaker 1: far the best version of the X ray vision. So
Speaker 1: thanks Jake.
Speaker 3: All right, next, we have an email for Maurice.
Speaker 1: What's up Maurice?
Speaker 3: Email titled major Mad props Zach, Lance and Big Nick. Hello.
Speaker 1: That's right, we're supposed to start calling you Nick. I
Speaker 1: forgot about that. Thank you, hey, obviously, Maurice. Listen to
Speaker 1: the email.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not sure when the next mail bag would be,
Speaker 3: but I wanted to give you guys huge props on
Speaker 3: the Always Hold On To network of podcasts. You guys
Speaker 3: created something, and as busy as your schedules are, I'm
Speaker 3: glad these podcasts exist. I hope you all continue to
Speaker 3: keep these podcasts going. On another note, I was extremely
Speaker 3: harsh on Felicity on one of the previous emails I wrote.
Speaker 3: I wrote that email a not remembering what happened after
Speaker 3: season three on Arrow and B before I started listening
Speaker 3: to Lance and Kev's podcast. After listening to you guys
Speaker 3: read my email, I really went plus Ultra ko Ken
Speaker 3: times twenty on hers, so that's successfive. I didn't realize
Speaker 3: how bad that sounded, and after listening to the Always
Speaker 3: Held an Arrow podcast. It took some time, but Felicity
Speaker 3: did redeem herself. My bad. She did redeem herself a
Speaker 3: little bit. She has her moments. On a further note,
Speaker 3: James Gunn mentioned a while back that he wants DCTV, SLASH,
Speaker 3: streaming games, and movies to all be connected in the
Speaker 3: same universe. I'm not sure if he changed his mind
Speaker 3: about that, but do you think he's going to go
Speaker 3: through with that? That would mean having the Batman and
Speaker 3: Batman Brave in the Bold in the same universe. What
Speaker 3: are your thoughts about what he should do with TV,
Speaker 3: streaming games and movies. Keep up the good work and
Speaker 3: stay super Bro.
Speaker 1: Maurice, Well, thank you, Maurice. I think that you know,
Speaker 1: there's a strength to having the ability to do different
Speaker 1: things in different meatiams mm hm. Like have they had
Speaker 1: this rule back when The Dark Knight Triliger just coming out?
Speaker 1: You never would have gotten Batman Arkham Asylum for Arkham City, Like,
Speaker 1: think about that. Yeah, that's nuts, Why would you do that? So, Like,
Speaker 1: I think it's cool to have the different if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do different multiverses, which is great. Do that so
Speaker 1: you could have I don't know, small building animated series
Speaker 1: over here, yes, and then you could have the flash
Speaker 1: video game over here, and you can you know that
Speaker 1: sort of thing you could build out a you could
Speaker 1: build out a multiverse of video games.
Speaker 3: I thought we hated the multiverse. I thought we were
Speaker 3: tired of the multiverse. I thought we should never do
Speaker 3: the multiverse again.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're Marvel, so, look, it's used too
Speaker 1: much as a story. Crush is what people are giddy god,
Speaker 1: and I do agree, I mean not really, but well
Speaker 1: you tell me that now, wait till you see repertend
Speaker 1: engineers doctor do me?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 2: I still never mind. I was, I was just gonna say,
Speaker 2: I still think that's a red herring. I don't think
Speaker 2: he's actually gonna be doctor Dahom find out. It'll be
Speaker 2: twenty minutes of him, and then we find out who
Speaker 2: the real doctor dum is.
Speaker 1: Wow, we'll see. I think you're seeing that that problem
Speaker 1: with Marvel right now, honestly, where it's like there's so
Speaker 1: many shows and so many movies, like people, do you
Speaker 1: feel like you feel it.
Speaker 3: Too much homework?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have time to do my homework. Man,
Speaker 3: it's not all my students.
Speaker 1: Look, look, what you enjoy should never be felt like
Speaker 1: a chore, all right, But it's the same reason I
Speaker 1: fell behind on the air. Rose answer, there's too much.
Speaker 1: So I understand what people are saying.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. We people people make time for
Speaker 3: other things that are very similar and have have similar prerequisites,
Speaker 3: and so it's I think it's disingenuous to pile on
Speaker 3: one thing when every other thing does it. I've said
Speaker 3: that about lots of things a lot of times, and
Speaker 3: that's that's my main issue. You talk about like, you know,
Speaker 3: like he's like, oh, they're using other story crutches. Like
Speaker 3: everything has a crutch in their story that they hold
Speaker 3: on to. So again, like we like, we don't blame
Speaker 3: other things for using their crutches right to help lift
Speaker 3: them up and lift up their products and lift up
Speaker 3: their storytelling.
Speaker 1: You do watch every Chicago Universe show. You're not the
Speaker 1: person though, What are YouTube short some of those enough
Speaker 1: of the YouTube shorts they spent all dinner talking to
Speaker 1: Nick about he's watched the entire series of The Rookie
Speaker 1: on YouTube shorts.
Speaker 3: All right, good lord, well, I might end up watching
Speaker 3: Smallville on YouTube show.
Speaker 1: That is not the proper way to watch smorl So
Speaker 1: I think, look, I mean, Maurice universe. It's great Maurice
Speaker 1: mentions like the Batman and Batman Brave and the Bowl
Speaker 1: and the same universe. James gunn He Sai, Well, these
Speaker 1: are else worlds, like like Sumanna Lows was an else
Speaker 1: world and Joker was an elseworld, right, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, else worlds.
Speaker 1: That's why we need a multise.
Speaker 3: So couldn't they just make else worlds into a multiverse
Speaker 3: if they decided to.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Well, look that's the problem. That's
Speaker 1: why saying I'm like, well we can't do small thenmate
Speaker 1: series right now, I'm like why not? Like he's like
Speaker 1: the Batman is not the same as you know, the
Speaker 1: mainline DCU. So that's that's the trap people. And there's
Speaker 1: always gonna be something that there's not gonna be one.
Speaker 1: It's not like Star Wars or Star Trek whethers there's
Speaker 1: one thing, right, there's one thing going on. And yes,
Speaker 1: everything on screen takes precedence over like books and comics
Speaker 1: and they can be overwritten. Like with this, there's like
Speaker 1: there's always multiple versions of these things going on at
Speaker 1: all times, and to like it's the same stuff they had,
Speaker 1: like in jail, you would have the bad embargo like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're making Chris Nolan Batman movies, so you can't use
Speaker 1: Batman villones. What are you talking? That's no correlation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like that that reminds me of that. I don't
Speaker 1: like it. So that's right. I think, yes, things are
Speaker 1: things are gonna be connected and things aren't gonna be connected,
Speaker 1: and there's perfect there's plenty of space for both. So
Speaker 1: that's how I feel bad.
Speaker 2: It okay, Oh right now, we have another email here
Speaker 2: from Jake Cleveland titled Doomsday. Hey, Zach Lance and crew.
Speaker 2: I just want to give a fun fact. The wrestler
Speaker 2: who played Titan on season six episode Combat played Doomsday
Speaker 2: as a wrestling character really early into the career before
Speaker 2: he became Cane. Thanks for everything and stay cool, Caine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh that that episode is was ridiculous that
Speaker 1: the w w E crossover one of my favorite shows
Speaker 1: that the Rock was on Star Treking Voyager. What are
Speaker 1: we doing?
Speaker 3: Do you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did you know that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: He fought seven of nine. I remember the trailers for
Speaker 1: the people say that. Yeah, wow, he did the people's eyebrow.
Speaker 3: He also hit a mouse to or like pretend to
Speaker 3: eat a mouse. I remember, I remember the behind the
Speaker 3: scenes for that there was like He's like, yeah me
Speaker 3: eat mouse Man. Do you smell what the rock is?
Speaker 3: Quicker Wednesday? That was a superior strength. When America's SmackDown
Speaker 3: Hero takes on Voyagers battle Star fain World will alive.
Speaker 3: I have no desire to insert further damage. I'm afraid
Speaker 3: I can't say this so to Clark, a voyager beam
Speaker 3: out of.
Speaker 2: There to WWS, the Rock guest stars got an all
Speaker 2: new Voyager.
Speaker 1: So no, Jake, I'm not a wrestling guy, so I
Speaker 1: did not know that actually, so thank you for sharing
Speaker 1: that information. I assume they called him Doomsday as a
Speaker 1: wrestler as a reference to the Superman Villa, and so
Speaker 1: that that's cool. That's a cool bit of trivia. Thanks Jake.
Speaker 1: All Right, we have another email from Jake titled exile
Speaker 1: Hey always the one in Smallville. I was just curious
Speaker 1: if you guys notice on the episode Phoenix, when Clark
Speaker 1: pulls mister Edge out of the limo, one of his
Speaker 1: goons pulls a gun out and says let him go.
Speaker 1: That guy, along with a face tattoo, guy literally unloaded
Speaker 1: a full magazine from fully automatic machine gum. Clark was
Speaker 1: sleeping in bed and it did nothing. I just thought
Speaker 1: it was kind of funny he did that after clearly
Speaker 1: showing guns to work on him. Anyway, stay awesome. It's
Speaker 1: the same thing White when when like they shoot at
Speaker 1: Superman and they throw a gun at him and say
Speaker 1: what do you like? It's not what else do they have?
Speaker 1: That's all they got, so all they got at that point.
Speaker 1: But that is a fun observation. My favorite third part
Speaker 1: about that scene is when Clark rips the door off,
Speaker 1: take your ass down the road back to Metropolis, and
Speaker 1: then he has to drive off with Yeah, just not there.
Speaker 1: That's a three hour drive. Season three, it's closer later,
Speaker 1: but in season three.
Speaker 3: Hours just outside the city.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Next, we have a five star Apple podcast review from
Speaker 3: Dan the rock Man titled best Smallville podcast Ever. This
Speaker 3: is the best Marvel podcast out there. Zach has in
Speaker 3: depth knowledge of Smallville and Superman in general. You will
Speaker 3: not be disappointed.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks Dan, I appreciate that there are a lot
Speaker 1: of Smuvel podcasts out there, and thank you for thinking
Speaker 1: on the best one.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that this is the number one Smavel we
Speaker 3: watched podcasts on the internet.
Speaker 2: I agree all right now, we have an email from
Speaker 2: Joshua EM's titled Homecoming. Hey, Zach, Lance and Nick Ryan, Hey,
Speaker 2: both of my names. Hey, we don't plan this out.
Speaker 2: Let's just happened. Just listen to your coverage of Homecoming.
Speaker 2: What an amazing episode. It gets an A plus for me.
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed the nostalgia flashbacks, although I did literally
Speaker 2: groan when it showed Lana, but they handled it well.
Speaker 2: I've got my twentieth reunion coming up. Oh sorry, I've
Speaker 2: got my twentieth reunion coming up in a couple of years.
Speaker 2: Missed the tenth, so I may try to make this one.
Speaker 2: We didn't do a fifth.
Speaker 3: Nick, have you caught him to the show?
Speaker 2: No, that is a no at the moment, but I
Speaker 2: might YouTube. I'm not going to YouTube short, I'll just
Speaker 2: do YouTube summary ones. You better get your button gear
Speaker 2: if you haven't. Lance, I'm gearing up for the Christmas
Speaker 2: movie season. Just found out there will be one starring
Speaker 2: Angela Kinsey and Brian Bumgardner from the Office. Should be
Speaker 2: a good season, Zach, how about that walk off Grand slam?
Speaker 3: My Dodgers are.
Speaker 2: Doing pretty good up too, and zero in the series.
Speaker 2: As I write this, how'd your astros do? Until next time,
Speaker 2: have a good one, Josh said from my iPhone.
Speaker 1: You know I usually delete that far from the EULs.
Speaker 1: I wonder when this email was sent. Yeah, no, obviously
Speaker 1: this came out to the World Series.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had initially an apologies to christin EDDI. I'd initially said, oh, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: of course I'll be even for the Yankees. And I
Speaker 1: thought about it, and I thought it, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: you know what, the Dodgers already won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: They're in the National League, They're not really we don't
Speaker 1: really play them a lot, and the twenty seventeen was
Speaker 1: kind of a one off thing. Yeah, the Yankees we
Speaker 1: play all the time and beat all the time, so
Speaker 1: I don't want them to win the worst. So I
Speaker 1: ended up being like, you know what, I guess I
Speaker 1: over the Dodgers, and it was a gentleman sweep, as
Speaker 1: they call it, five games, yes, Josh. Right, after going
Speaker 1: to seven straight American League Championship Series and uh with
Speaker 1: the four World Series trips sprinkled in there, including Yale, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and two championships, we failed to make an eighth straight ALCS,
Speaker 1: So you are right, we did not get that far
Speaker 1: this season, but hey, we'll see in the World Series
Speaker 1: this year, right, Yeah, you know what. And last thing
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers. If they keep winning, I think I'll
Speaker 1: just stop watching baseball because they basically just bought a
Speaker 1: championship like every year, and that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I mean, would you rather the Dodgers buy their way
Speaker 3: to one or the Yankees torpedo their way to one?
Speaker 1: I would rather the Astros cheat their Let's move on.
Speaker 1: So we have an email from Steven Phillips titled something
Speaker 1: called Finale. I remember this email that is a reference
Speaker 1: to when on Talkfield that they did Perry the Perry
Speaker 1: White episode, the first one, and they're talking about how
Speaker 1: often Perry White shows up in the show, and Ryan
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, looks like he's in the three episodes,
Speaker 1: and one of them is something called finale. Awesome, and
Speaker 1: I remember in our in our circles, you know, on
Speaker 1: our side chats, we all had a good laugh, right,
Speaker 1: and then like a surge of anger as something called
Speaker 1: finale something. It's like, that's the series finale, bro, something
Speaker 1: called finale. Like just the lack of just any sort
Speaker 1: of research or effort is kind of infuriating sometimes watching
Speaker 1: dogfel So something called finale became like that. That has
Speaker 1: been a quotable for multiple people out there between me
Speaker 1: and them. You know who you are, So something called
Speaker 1: finale Zach and friends. Wow, what a journey this podcast
Speaker 1: has been. I started in twenty eighteen, and I feel
Speaker 1: like we all blinked in. Twenty twenty four is inding
Speaker 1: and you're wrapping up your smabble rewatch. This has been
Speaker 1: such a great ride. I've told you before, but I
Speaker 1: just want to say again the amount of thought and
Speaker 1: effort you put in the show is definitely noted and appreciated.
Speaker 1: This is clearly a focus for you, not a side
Speaker 1: hustle you used to push something like a band, a
Speaker 1: fart book, or dog mouthwash, not that anyone would ever
Speaker 1: do that. These are just any examples. I'm picking up
Speaker 1: what you're putting down, Steve. As I been along for
Speaker 1: y'all's journey, I've been on my own, wrapped up in
Speaker 1: my Air Force career out. Thank you for your service, sir.
Speaker 1: We'retired and moved to Hawaii.
Speaker 3: Good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, this has been a great way to hang out
Speaker 1: with my fellow Texans. Every week. It's great here, but
Speaker 1: I still miss text mechs and the buzz I. Guess
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that last part. In case of
Speaker 1: shape shifting Menior freaking us to find out my favorite
Speaker 1: radio station. That's a quote, what's my favorite radio station? Well,
Speaker 1: don this is this is a good email. This is
Speaker 1: my favorite email. Stephen tak it anyways for small talking
Speaker 1: with Zack. I'll keep it over twenty seconds. This is
Speaker 1: littered with talk little references. What's next after the season
Speaker 1: wrap up? Maybe each week you Lance can watch Joker
Speaker 1: Choker lay Ado over and over again. Kidding Lance, justing.
Speaker 1: Have y'all ever seen her of the possible Brennan Fraser Superman.
Speaker 1: I saw a test photo and he looks great. That's
Speaker 1: actually I believe that was AI. I don't think that
Speaker 1: was a real test photo of him, but he would
Speaker 1: have been a fun Superman in the late nineties, early
Speaker 1: two thousands and in three point five roses. Because this
Speaker 1: is even better than the pilot, y'all take care of Steve.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve. That was awesome, love the love the
Speaker 1: subtle digs at Dogville. I've been on the show, so
Speaker 1: I'm a little biased. And I I speak publicly about
Speaker 1: them quite diplomatically, but again I'm picking up your yef.
Speaker 1: So thank you very much, Steve, and and Hey again,
Speaker 1: thank you for your service in the Air Force. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're enjoying your retirement in Hawaii for sure.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 1: And oh there's more to come after the show where
Speaker 1: there's books, there's comics with a kind of a fun
Speaker 1: other project we're working on, so after the series finale,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna take a little bit of a break
Speaker 1: because I think I deserve it. Yes, yes, but there
Speaker 1: is always home to the small the rule return.
Speaker 3: Next, we have an email from Corey Moore, the Legend himself,
Speaker 3: titled Season ten Lazarus through isis Hey, super Zach Moore
Speaker 3: shout out to stronger than a Locomotive, Nick and the
Speaker 3: real Legend they realizend always hold on to freaking Smallville.
Speaker 3: Season ten it's here. I must say. It's bittersweet, and
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure how to handle all these feelings
Speaker 3: I have, So I'll do what most men do and
Speaker 3: bottle them up, ignore them and talk about sports and horror.
Speaker 3: It's not wrong. Everyone Give it up to eighty four
Speaker 3: for repeating as champions in our fantasy baseball league. He
Speaker 3: beat none other than me, damn it, for a second
Speaker 3: straight year in the championship game. That means he's a
Speaker 3: repeat champion and probably should be kicked out of our
Speaker 3: league for being too good. Winning fantasy baseball has lottery
Speaker 3: odds attached to it, and he's done it twice. WTF.
Speaker 3: I've pretty much decided he's my lex luthor or I
Speaker 3: am I his lex luthor. Think about it to this date,
Speaker 3: to date this email, I should say, Halloween was yesterday, Sorry, Zachs.
Speaker 3: I have a tradition where after we go trick or
Speaker 3: treating with the kids, I read the Batman story, the
Speaker 3: Killing Joke, then watch a horror. This year's movie was
Speaker 3: Freddy Versus Jason. I quickly picked up This movie was
Speaker 3: filmed in many of the same small locations and they
Speaker 3: used a lot of the small litte guests, the stars
Speaker 3: and extras. They were at Marvel High School, Crater Lake,
Speaker 3: and maybe the street where the talent was located. I
Speaker 3: counted at least ten Smallville peeps in this extremely bad
Speaker 3: but awesome horror flick. To name a few actors to
Speaker 3: grace this movie, the girl from Slumber, the swimming boy,
Speaker 3: the swimmer boy from Reed Ducks, the tech guy from Delete,
Speaker 3: and he was the toy man, the dirtbag dad who
Speaker 3: shot his own son and blamed it on his other
Speaker 3: son in the Blanket. Yeah, and my favorite was eventually Lily,
Speaker 3: who was a background extra in the high School. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, why wasn't she cast it in the main character.
Speaker 1: Could eventually Lily as Lana or Chlolia Lewis. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: just had her wandering around in the background.
Speaker 3: It's been fun listening to your season ten reviews. Lazarus
Speaker 3: planted the seeds for some good upcoming stories. I really
Speaker 3: liked the lab of Clone Lexus and the ending scene
Speaker 3: where Clark talks with ghost Dad at the fence. Over
Speaker 3: the past five years, I've been putting in a similar
Speaker 3: fencing at my property and think of that scene often
Speaker 3: and smile. This past summer, I had my thirtieth year
Speaker 3: high school reunion. During this event, I could all I
Speaker 3: could talk about was the homecoming episode of Smallville. When
Speaker 3: was my brainiac gonna freeze time and give me a
Speaker 3: glimpse of my future? Sadly, no time was frozen. Keep
Speaker 3: on keeping on and thanks for all your great content up,
Speaker 3: up and away more Halloween candy.
Speaker 1: It was good, Corey. That's good. Thank you. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much Corey for that. And you know, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen Freddy Ridge Jason. As far as horror movies go,
Speaker 1: Halloween Franchise and Scream Franchise is kind of my thing.
Speaker 1: Not so much further thirteenth and broun Home Street, but
Speaker 1: all the mumble peeps. I gotta check it out, y'all.
Speaker 1: I got to check it out. But thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Great, and always you know, always lift his fun sign
Speaker 1: of its more Halloween candy.
Speaker 2: All right, we have another email from Joshua EM's titled
Speaker 2: isis and Harvest?
Speaker 1: I can't say that on the podcasting.
Speaker 3: Is and Harvest? Hey, zach Nick and Lance, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Totally random order. We did not plant. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 1: Time it out. You're just reading the next one out.
Speaker 1: That's great. I love it.
Speaker 2: Just listen to your coverage of is It Harvest? I
Speaker 2: actually really enjoyed these episodes. Not the best, but good episodes.
Speaker 2: I did want to point out that when Lois was
Speaker 2: leaving the Daily Plan haded Isis, she mentioned that there
Speaker 2: was a theme for the event, hence the costume It's
Speaker 2: still pretty crazy how they just seem to want to
Speaker 2: juss her up for anything. I really liked the scene
Speaker 2: with Clark and Lewis talking about the past, I eat
Speaker 2: the spaceship, et cetera. Just a fun back and forth there.
Speaker 2: I liked that Clark had to do a lot without
Speaker 2: powers at Harvest. It's a fun concept. It reminded me
Speaker 2: a lot of the village and also a short story
Speaker 2: we had to read in high school where they had
Speaker 2: a early lottery and the winner was sacrifice. Oh hey,
Speaker 2: congrats to the world champion astro Oops I spelled misspelled Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, I mean you get it.
Speaker 1: You you you look we won in twenty seventeen and
Speaker 1: people finding it questionable. Yeah, you won in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: and people find it questionable for different reasons. And then
Speaker 1: we both went after that. So I see it as
Speaker 1: being even congrats to you. I'm glad you be the Yankees.
Speaker 1: Come I be christ and Eddie.
Speaker 3: He continues, Well that's it for now. Back to a
Speaker 3: miracle in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, starring Laura vander Vort.
Speaker 1: How do you not that's because you haven't gotten the
Speaker 1: season seven yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I haven't got ye.
Speaker 1: Yes, Laura Vaner put some respect on.
Speaker 3: Her nete miracle in uh in Bethlehem, PA is a
Speaker 3: good one.
Speaker 1: It's all a Christmas movie, I sue.
Speaker 7: Ye.
Speaker 3: Okay, Happy Holidays from Josh sent from my iPhone.
Speaker 1: Why did I not the least that Josh sent for
Speaker 1: my iPhone?
Speaker 4: So we know?
Speaker 3: Oh, PS, almost forgot.
Speaker 2: Took my son camping a while back and he was
Speaker 2: wearing the Daily Planet shirt that came with the DVD
Speaker 2: box set of Season ten. Thanks again. Here's some pictures
Speaker 2: of him having fun of it. He was so proud
Speaker 2: that he spotted a rattlesnake, so I included a picture.
Speaker 3: Of it as well.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks Josh. I you know I usually share pictures,
Speaker 1: but since it's of your son, I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna share pictures people's children on the but I got
Speaker 1: the pictures great. I'm glad he's wearing that shirt.
Speaker 3: And that's probably why I said for my op.
Speaker 1: Because the PS the PS alright. So I have another
Speaker 1: email from Corey Moore telling Ambush Zach Lance Ryan a symbol.
Speaker 1: It's been fun listening to your season ten reviews. In
Speaker 1: the Ambush episode I like the general's chores list he
Speaker 1: gave Clark. I'll do the same thing with my daughter
Speaker 1: started bringing home potential partners. Smiley face. I can't wait
Speaker 1: for a quote more unquote of your season ten coverage,
Speaker 1: but I'll so slow down. I don't want season ten
Speaker 1: reviews to end. If you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: If you know what I'm talking about, maybe go Seahawks.
Speaker 3: Thanks for Gino, but thanks for Gino, Bro, I appreciate.
Speaker 1: That up up in a way. More chores, I mean,
Speaker 1: Corey is great with the puns in the wordplay. I
Speaker 1: mean having a last name that igen adjective.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Remember when I ran for band president vote more yeah
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, I missed my chat. I
Speaker 1: should have run for something last year twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: should have run for president. I mean I should have
Speaker 1: a qualified candidate. I get thirty four. Anything that ends
Speaker 1: in a fourcep fourteen. He can't do that, so, but
Speaker 1: anything the rhyming yeah, right, thirty four forty four more fantastic.
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Anyway. If I remember public office, you
Speaker 1: have to do it on a year that does the
Speaker 1: A four yeah, Like let's do the math on yeah.
Speaker 3: You're gonna run it, just like the episode where he runs.
Speaker 1: For That's why I ran for it.
Speaker 3: You know this, I know, but you're new. Are you
Speaker 3: gonna do the exact same thing? If you run for office?
Speaker 1: Lose? I stand for truth, justice and other stuff. Thank you, Corey.
Speaker 3: All right. Next, we have a five star Apple podcast
Speaker 3: review from Ned James two three nine titled is This
Speaker 3: is So Fun? I didn't know about this until Talkville started,
Speaker 3: and this is essentially my first podcast. I love all
Speaker 3: the insight and the extensive knowledge of Superman and how
Speaker 3: and the show in total. I love to nerd out
Speaker 3: and learn something every episode. I started from the beginning
Speaker 3: and caught up in season nine, so I started watching
Speaker 3: along and look forward to the episode every week. It's
Speaker 3: tough that I don't get to binge at every day
Speaker 3: now it's just once a week. All the guests on
Speaker 3: are great, but Lance is my favorite. Hey, yay, shout out,
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I know everything seems very organized and planning around here,
Speaker 1: but this is not premeditated. That is pure chance. That's great.
Speaker 3: The tan did you go on? Are the best? I
Speaker 3: could go on and on. Love it, and I've branched
Speaker 3: out into the other pods.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank your pod, no doubt. Yeah, your
Speaker 1: his favorite guest.
Speaker 3: That'd be great. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: No, thanks Ned, And you found me through talk Fille.
Speaker 1: That's great. See that's the thing.
Speaker 3: So what happens when you're on We had time two.
Speaker 1: Times, much like the Astros.
Speaker 3: I'm a two times champion.
Speaker 1: Now hopefully will be a third time and the Astros
Speaker 1: will also be a third time at some point. No,
Speaker 1: that's great about being on talk Obviously, it's awesome that
Speaker 1: I got to be on there with Tom and Michael
Speaker 1: multiple times and hopefully more before it's all said and done.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people like we went to the
Speaker 1: small Little Salute, the Small Division. Yes, a lot of
Speaker 1: people recognizing me from there and found this podcast of
Speaker 1: that podcast. That's what it's all about. So anyway, great stuff,
Speaker 1: So thanks Ned, Thanks for thanks for finding the show.
Speaker 1: And didn't like you because you could have found any
Speaker 1: like oh this guy son right.
Speaker 3: We don't hear emails.
Speaker 1: No, I would read them, though, I I we don't
Speaker 1: get enough negative Apple. Remember we got a bunch of
Speaker 1: like Apple. I used to not iTunes anymore, but yeah,
Speaker 1: iTunes reviews. I love those one stars like we're so
Speaker 1: good anyway.
Speaker 2: All right, we got an email from Richard Tomlin in
Speaker 2: Writer Strikes Hate. Hello, Zach Lance and Nick, greeting from
Speaker 2: East Texas again. I'm writing this time to ran about
Speaker 2: the writer's strike that happened during season seven of Smallville
Speaker 2: and probably the current one as well. Besides your podcasts
Speaker 2: and Talkville, last year, I discovered another Smallville rewatch podcasts.
Speaker 2: It is in a different lane from yours. It is
Speaker 2: more of a science Theater three thousand approach than a
Speaker 2: standard watch along. My joy from that show is one
Speaker 2: of the two hosts have not seen the show, and
Speaker 2: it's fun for me to hear someone experienced the show
Speaker 2: for the first time. They're on season seven and just
Speaker 2: last week as of this email reached Veritas hearing season
Speaker 2: seven episode breakdowns week to week versus binge watching it
Speaker 2: or hearing it through binging coverage. Really kind of it
Speaker 2: reveals the devastation of the writer's strike at that time.
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at the writers for striking, but more
Speaker 2: at executives in Decis Vision makers for that one. The
Speaker 2: same strikes what derailed heroes in Quantum of Solace Shout
Speaker 2: Always Hold on to heroes starting twenty twenty five right
Speaker 2: as someone with a creative As someone with a creative
Speaker 2: writer's brain, it has always boggled my mind that the
Speaker 2: higher ups in the creative industry don't see the value
Speaker 2: of writers and of all the other positions or gears
Speaker 2: that make the whole machine run. I hope the strike
Speaker 2: this year can Slash will shed more light on the
Speaker 2: importance of the creative jobs that everyone doesn't really notice
Speaker 2: until they are not doing it. I have adhd bear
Speaker 2: with me. Revisiting the season seven episodes at a slower
Speaker 2: pace revealed to me how they had to cut all
Speaker 2: their ideas short and start with new Verita's art and
Speaker 2: ended fast, which is why Blue cuts the story of
Speaker 2: Kara and her dad's involvement so short. I feel like
Speaker 2: they could have or would have had him in Bizarro
Speaker 2: and Brainiac remain in a formidable, big bad team versus
Speaker 2: Clark and Cara. Instead, they had to end it and
Speaker 2: move on, in my opinion, really cutting the potential of
Speaker 2: Supergirl's role in the only season she was considered a
Speaker 2: main cast member. We all have beat the Veritas Windows
Speaker 2: story to death, but I definitely think the Brainiac messed up.
Speaker 2: The timeline theory helped soothe my soul and be at
Speaker 2: least somewhat okay with it now that some time has passed.
Speaker 2: Would love to hear y'all's thoughts now that we are
Speaker 2: older and after the rewatch and another big strike has occurred.
Speaker 1: Rocky from Texas, Yeah, what did you think of Season seven? Nick?
Speaker 3: Season seven was as good as season eight and season nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're not going to understand all those references,
Speaker 1: but yeah, the window was amazing. And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of US fans independently came up with the theory
Speaker 1: that when Doomsday shows up in season eight, it's because
Speaker 1: Brainiac time traveled and put him on the chip and
Speaker 1: it's a munch a fa and stuff, but it works.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think, you know, Lance, Uh,
Speaker 1: we've talked about it on the podcast over the years,
Speaker 1: and I think seven is stronger than six. So I
Speaker 1: think because because seven, like all the Justice leaguers are
Speaker 1: gone now and you kind of get back to basics
Speaker 1: with like like the Luthers and all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: it's egregious continuity reconds. Don't get me wrong, Yes, but
Speaker 1: there's some great there's some may plus stuff in there,
Speaker 1: so the writers strike really did. Yeah. So and then, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, people blame the writers strike for rooting Heroes,
Speaker 1: but the you know, season two wasn't as good as
Speaker 1: season one, but season two was pretty good, especially last
Speaker 1: stretch episodes. And then they they decided to like throw
Speaker 1: all their plans out and do something radically different, and
Speaker 1: that was more of the problem. Yeah, with season three
Speaker 1: off hero So yeah, no, I totally agree. I mean,
Speaker 1: everything starts with writing. It doesn't matter like how good
Speaker 1: your h special effects are or your locations or how
Speaker 1: pretty your actors are. And you know, obviously you know
Speaker 1: actors have to translate the writing to the screen. But
Speaker 1: like if you don't have a good foundation in writing,
Speaker 1: like you don't care about the characters of the story,
Speaker 1: the stakes and nothing matters. So that that is the
Speaker 1: foundation for any of this fiction. And uh that's the
Speaker 1: most part component it might be all right, We have
Speaker 1: an email from Corey Moore swuer Maanelois TV ending episode.
Speaker 1: Zach and Sarah, thank you, Sarah that I've learned what
Speaker 1: that song was uh fewyears ago. Zach and Sarah, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for reviewing all four seasons of the
Speaker 1: Fresh News. Let's go of Superman and Lois on the
Speaker 1: seed W Before I begin, shout out to Lance, Hey
Speaker 1: and keV. Sorry Nick, but shout out to keV. We
Speaker 1: love you, keV. Yes, beasts cooler than the other side
Speaker 1: of the Hello, man, I gotta meet all of y'all
Speaker 1: some day. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed
Speaker 1: your episode reviews to Superman and Lois. Please tell Sarah
Speaker 1: that her effort has not gone underappreciated. Every episode of
Speaker 1: youtwo has been a bullseye. Hey, my favorite part of
Speaker 1: your podcast was Sarah and her f bombs. I admire
Speaker 1: Zach for finding on those bombs and bleeping them out.
Speaker 1: Ha ha. I plan on watching the complete series of
Speaker 1: Als with my dog, and I'll also tell them about
Speaker 1: your podcast. They will probably listen to the pod eventually.
Speaker 1: That's right. It's a family show. Family show around here.
Speaker 1: You want to heard me curse? Go to the Patreon
Speaker 1: you get a pay Yeah. Now onto the last episode
Speaker 1: titled it Went By So Fast. First off, I'm about
Speaker 1: as madly as they come. You know, stuff like working
Speaker 1: in a full time ups job, farm chores track to
Speaker 1: me and it's barn up keep dealing with aggressive roosters,
Speaker 1: noisy ducks, annoying goats, huge horse, piles of beep, a
Speaker 1: wife and two daughters who were terrifying and splinting last
Speaker 1: amounts of wood with an axe. Lol. A real life
Speaker 1: clark Kin here, Corey. But the end of this episode
Speaker 1: had me crying like a child. Maybe it's because I'm
Speaker 1: a middle aged man. Maybe at times I realized how
Speaker 1: fast the kids grew up too. Maybe I don't want
Speaker 1: this version of Superman and Lewis out of my life.
Speaker 1: I was a wreck after this episode. I watched this
Speaker 1: episode before bed, and honestly, I had a difficult time sleeping.
Speaker 1: They sit me hard and it will be a while
Speaker 1: until I watched the ending of this episode again. If ever,
Speaker 1: I lost it when the front door opened up and
Speaker 1: Lois was standing in that red dress. Wow, just like you, Zach.
Speaker 1: My wife is my littlest Lane And to quote you're
Speaker 1: a good friend Tom Willing from Smallville. They can't live
Speaker 1: in a world or she doesn't love me. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the podcast, Sack and Sarah up up by the way
Speaker 1: more Sarah and Zach. There you go. Well, thank you, Corey.
Speaker 1: Listening to always on to Sumano Lowlis, which yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean Always on a Smallville probably been wrapped up sooner.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for Sumannol. It's the show, and that was
Speaker 1: covering those episodes of that podcast. But it was a
Speaker 1: really unique experience and I'm really glad we did it,
Speaker 1: and it's been really great perception for everybody. So a
Speaker 1: different a definitely a different angle than we take on
Speaker 1: the other podcast. Uh, just having Sarah being the co
Speaker 1: host there obviously in her different perspective, and also just
Speaker 1: being you know, live, you know, with the show coming out,
Speaker 1: like everything else we do is retrospective, and that was like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's like what other when else do you get the
Speaker 1: kind of opportunity to do that? So there you go.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we did it, So thank you, Corey. Great
Speaker 1: emails always.
Speaker 3: Next, we have an email from Allison Sculthorpe. Uh, just
Speaker 3: finished season nine? Is the title? Hi, Zach and Brand
Speaker 3: that's us. Hey, it's Alison from Ontario, Canada again. Shout
Speaker 3: out first happy belated American Thanksgiving. What do you guys
Speaker 3: think about week Canadians having Thanksgiving in early October?
Speaker 1: That's weird?
Speaker 3: Personally, I love it. Leaves are just starting to turn
Speaker 3: on the trees. It's harvest time with great local fall faares,
Speaker 3: and it's not too close to Christmas. Feel free to
Speaker 3: try and sell me on your version.
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to beat that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I also wanted to thank you for including
Speaker 3: the James Bai song in your last Mailbag episode because
Speaker 3: I commented on it. I got such a kick out
Speaker 3: of that. Anyway, I just finished watching season nine A
Speaker 3: Smallville and listen to your season nine podcast episodes. I
Speaker 3: generally like season nine. I really like Callum blues portrayloz
Speaker 3: Odd I did too, He's the finest od on this planet. However,
Speaker 3: I didn't love the Clark Lowis stuff as much as
Speaker 3: you did. I'm just finding the are they aren't they
Speaker 3: a couple? And Lois still not knowing Clarks rather tiresome.
Speaker 1: But it's not a lot of it's Lois Nick.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I'm still surprised Lois hasn't figured out yet, but from
Speaker 2: your spoilers, ha ha, I guess that changes in season ten.
Speaker 3: I'm curious to find out.
Speaker 1: Sorry, even spoiling the show for you, Alison.
Speaker 3: I think right now the highest from highest to Lois
Speaker 3: here's how i'd rank the seasons three, four, five, one, two, nine, seven,
Speaker 3: eight and six A bit different than you, Zach. Still,
Speaker 3: it's been awesome listening to your podcast. I continue to
Speaker 3: really enjoy your lively discussions with your guest and the
Speaker 3: fun you have with the more absurd moments. I'm a
Speaker 3: bit sad that it's almost over. Any hints as on
Speaker 3: what you might do after always hold on to Smallville
Speaker 3: is over. I'll end by saying Mary Christmas to Zach
Speaker 3: and company, and I look forward to diving into season ten.
Speaker 3: Allison' sculthorpe, Well.
Speaker 1: Thanks Alison. First off, three, four, five, one, two, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: eight six. So three yeah, good, Four, way too high,
Speaker 1: five I would I used to put it up there,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of slipped down a little bit. One
Speaker 1: very good, season two as well. Nine one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: as you know, seven, eight, six, And then, like I
Speaker 1: was saying about seven, I think seven is better than
Speaker 1: its reputation. Eight might be a little low, but I understand.
Speaker 1: And then six, I think six is the worst season.
Speaker 1: So when did you stop watching Smallville?
Speaker 3: I think three?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: Just not watched the season?
Speaker 4: Four?
Speaker 1: I was a high school in season four.
Speaker 3: Okay, then it was four. I stopped watching after you
Speaker 3: guys graduate.
Speaker 1: Well, as you I've been aware of. I'm the same
Speaker 1: age as Clark Kent was, yes when he.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you knew that. Yeah, also ran
Speaker 3: for band president because.
Speaker 1: And my senior was much different than the first three
Speaker 1: years because my friends were gone, oh yeah, no offense
Speaker 1: to you obviously. Yeah, it's not the same, you understand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understanderstand I was, but it was okay with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird because I was actually more friends
Speaker 2: with the seniors my freshman year too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was kind of weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were cool as hell.
Speaker 1: Well, you know who my lex is, right, I can't
Speaker 1: see it here, but you know who it is, right,
Speaker 1: Maybe you maybe guess this is gonna be cut, but like, okay,
Speaker 1: we just confirmed off microphone that Nick didn't know who
Speaker 1: the uh so Allison uh always on the smuvel will
Speaker 1: be in a new phase obviously because we're out of episodes, right.
Speaker 1: But there's comic books, there's novels. It's let me tell you,
Speaker 1: it's very different cover novels than TV shows and movies
Speaker 1: and whatnot. There's also you know, movies of the cast
Speaker 1: has been and there's lots of angles we can take.
Speaker 3: And don't forget every episode of Talk Phil, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: rewatch it. Talk Vil always hold on top of it.
Speaker 1: You know, do you think people would enjoy that?
Speaker 3: So we're gonna listen to the main actors talk about
Speaker 3: a show that they were on and not know what
Speaker 3: they're talking about.
Speaker 1: You know what, because by the time I do that talk,
Speaker 1: that will be over. Yeah, so what you know one
Speaker 1: of my chances being back on Oh man, that's that
Speaker 1: seems so mean spirit. Yeah, anyway, I always on the
Speaker 1: Talk fil coming up? Uh No, we got plans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So don't worry. We're gonna keep podcasting even though we're
Speaker 1: out of small episodes. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll have
Speaker 1: small on the animated series to talk about it as
Speaker 1: we're talking about Off the Top thousand, but we are
Speaker 1: going to continue to podcast. So thank you for that email.
Speaker 2: All right, we have an email from DJ Duenna two
Speaker 2: hundredth homecoming.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 2: I'm going to catch flack on this, but I don't
Speaker 2: overly like this type of episode. It's like when Zach
Speaker 2: complains about leaping tall buildings in a single bound for
Speaker 2: me this whole episode is this the helicopter on the roof?
Speaker 2: Get it, get it, It's supermandom movie. I also get
Speaker 2: that people in Smallville should be jaded by now about
Speaker 2: supernatural events by now, but Clark having all eyes on
Speaker 2: him as the Homecoming King and disappearing in the blink
Speaker 2: of an eye and no one cares. Also, was bug
Speaker 2: Boy really a good choice for this moment? Amy Adams
Speaker 2: would have been brilliant or bring back the guy from
Speaker 2: Reaper who magically survived just slight bug Boy did, but
Speaker 2: at least Reaper Guy understood what Clark was telling him.
Speaker 2: And then for the future part where Lois does not
Speaker 2: talk to her husband but to a guy whom she
Speaker 2: tells about her husband. The only thing that worked for
Speaker 2: me in this episode are the next Generation kids and
Speaker 2: the ending with Clark and Oliver and Clark and Lois.
Speaker 2: Everything else was either nonsensical pandering or both. Carston DJ Dewenna.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, I understand where you're coming from.
Speaker 1: I can see that point of view. I love Homecoming.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those English rainths. I kind
Speaker 1: of saw it as more of a celebration right of
Speaker 1: what had come before. What are your thoughts on that linees,
Speaker 1: because we we podcast about home when you gotta be
Speaker 1: love that episode your favorite episode of the show.
Speaker 3: So I think I think a lot of those things
Speaker 3: are strengths as you do. I think it works.
Speaker 1: His facts are correct, No, how it felt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's interesting. I haven't heard that perspective before.
Speaker 3: It's interesting. I don't think pandering is the way I
Speaker 3: think we use that. I think we missed the used
Speaker 3: that word too much when we talk about these types
Speaker 3: of things in general, because things are for some are
Speaker 3: things are for and intended for people, right and so,
Speaker 3: and for audiences and so. Yeah, so I don't I
Speaker 3: don't think it was I don't think it was pandering either.
Speaker 3: I think it was just I mean, some things that
Speaker 3: can be nonsensical. Yeah, I can agree with that. I
Speaker 3: mean it is Smallville after all, So I get what
Speaker 3: you're saying. I just I disagree with the tone of
Speaker 3: it all.
Speaker 1: I respect that alternate openion. That's that is not a
Speaker 1: very common but you're not can find a lot of
Speaker 1: people who have that to say with the two hundredth episode.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but every episode hits people differently. You never
Speaker 1: know right, that's what's great about it, right, art is subjective,
Speaker 1: It is all right. So we have a five star
Speaker 1: Apple podcast review from d C jc Ay three oh nine.
Speaker 1: It says great, detailed of each episode, Zach knows his
Speaker 1: Smallville love it hey to the point five stars. I'll
Speaker 1: take it, Thank you, d C.
Speaker 3: Who's in d C?
Speaker 1: Who's in d C? Who's in d C? That is
Speaker 1: a quote from Law and Order, specially to judit. That

Speaker 1: mother of Supergirl on CBS before she was recast with
Speaker 1: the Great Durants. That actress that is his wife. Is
Speaker 1: she cheating on him? They never really answered the question.
Speaker 1: She keeps going to d C. Who's in d C?
Speaker 1: That is why for Lance and I say, who's in
Speaker 1: d C?
Speaker 6: Why do we.
Speaker 3: Attach why who's in DC? Who's in d C?
Speaker 2: So so, guys, that was really weird to see in person,
Speaker 2: not knowing understanding, but I just explained to you, yeah,

Speaker 1: Now you're in on the joke. Now you can see
Speaker 1: it as us ask us who's in d C.
Speaker 3: Who's in d C.
Speaker 1: She was also the mother in the NBC Live Sound
Speaker 1: of Music. Yes, oh my god, not the not She

Speaker 1: To d C?
Speaker 4: What this has nothing to do with you? And whatever
Speaker 4: happened with that woman?
Speaker 1: And nothing happened.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. Okay, I'm I'm tired
Speaker 4: of waiting around for you to make time for us.
Speaker 4: So why don't we just take a little break?
Speaker 3: Ye, who's in DC?
Speaker 4: Okay? I just took a communications post with the panafon.
Speaker 3: All right. Next we have an email from mister the
Speaker 3: Corey Moore. The legend email title is a legend? No,
Speaker 3: I'm kidding, Luthor, what up? Always? Crewe shout out to
Speaker 3: our newest fantasy football champion, the Jump City Titans. Acting
Speaker 3: like Earth two Nal. He got out his belt and
Speaker 3: whooped his way through the That's good each round, shouting
Speaker 3: I am the most fit, I will be the survivor.
Speaker 3: Our fantasy sports league have been a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I am hoping to find a legion ring to time
Speaker 3: travel and find out what year I'll win a season.
Speaker 3: So far, I'm bad at zero. Luthor has been one
Speaker 3: of my favorite episodes, and I'm glad you and Roka
Speaker 3: love to do. Shout out to Roca. I really enjoyed
Speaker 3: the color contrast between the two worlds. Definitely an A
Speaker 3: plus episode. John Glover's performance is one to marvel at.
Speaker 3: He is just a beast. Dude's a beast. I'm speechless
Speaker 3: at his body of work on Smallville. It's incredible to
Speaker 3: think in the beginning he was just gonna have a
Speaker 3: small role. Recently, my wife asked me if I could
Speaker 3: get one photo with any cast member, who would it be.
Speaker 3: She thought I'd say Lana or Lois. She was shocked
Speaker 3: to hear when I said Glover. Hands down, Glover. He
Speaker 3: brought so much a Smallville. By far the most talented
Speaker 3: actor on the show. Well him and Bo Duke.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: JK is for just kidding or something either.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Jonathan gent whish is he was kidding about
Speaker 3: some things that he said in the recent past.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you don't. Zach listeners gonna do when you
Speaker 3: finish small your small, little journey. Your episodes are averaging
Speaker 3: two hours. I want three hour episodes from now on.
Speaker 3: You don't have very many to go make them long, up, up,
Speaker 3: and away more.
Speaker 1: Mamby and Tamby, Mamby and tam I believe Mamby and
Speaker 1: Bambi are the the girls are with Ultra Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's he's referenced with the Luther episode Mamby and Bambi. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: everybody's asking me. We're getting near the end of thebody's
Speaker 1: asking what we're doing when the small Journey's over. We're
Speaker 1: gonna take a break. We got some fun again, novels,
Speaker 1: comic books, other projects to talk about. But they always
Speaker 1: wanted small will continue, not the way it is right,
Speaker 1: because we're entering a new one. Journey will end, a
Speaker 1: new journey will have to begin. So that's what I
Speaker 1: learned from Smallville. But no, I'm glad. Everybody's asking them
Speaker 1: means they want they want to hear more. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's the that's the you want to hear more.
Speaker 3: Oh, I like that nice spin off, pat in it.
Speaker 1: I gotta mail that to myself.
Speaker 3: All right. We got an.
Speaker 2: Email here from Adam Little and what people don't know
Speaker 2: this email is actually sent on my birthday, so it's
Speaker 2: not planned.
Speaker 3: But that's kind of crazy. It was sent on my birthday, seventeenth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know that was your birthday. Nay, happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: The emails titled sorry for being late to the party.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on the problem dance Isaac Saw. I'm really late
Speaker 2: to the party, but I only recently found your podcast
Speaker 2: about a month ago. I've been a huge fan of
Speaker 2: Smallville since the beginning, watching him here in the UK
Speaker 2: on E four on When a Monday, starting with the doubleheader?
Speaker 1: First, how did you make it? Wednesday? With Monday? Okay,
Speaker 1: the m a lot of look, I edited a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff for us to I guess we all make
Speaker 1: these mistakes.
Speaker 4: Amazing.
Speaker 1: That just an incredible misread, like how did you.
Speaker 3: I was like a weird was it a weird flow state?
Speaker 3: And somehow I said Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Hey, but it's good to know the small mils aeria
Speaker 1: in the UK.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome, and I think E four I was
Speaker 3: thinking about G four tech TV.
Speaker 6: That's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah continues on I have always had an affinity for
Speaker 2: the Superman film, starting with running around in a Superman
Speaker 2: effort when I was a toddler to seeing the Superman
Speaker 2: the movie on TV and being taken to see Superman
Speaker 2: three at the cinema when I was five. Christopher Reeve
Speaker 2: will always be my number one Superman, but Tom became
Speaker 2: my favorite Clark with this portrayal in Smallville. Being that
Speaker 2: bit older, I was similar aged to Tom when the
Speaker 2: series came out. The show in the early years I
Speaker 2: think captured the feeling of teenage insecurity, anxiety, and fish
Speaker 2: out of water that all teenagers feel at some point
Speaker 2: in their lives and place it within the superhero backdrop.
Speaker 2: I really enjoy listening to your podcast with your guest
Speaker 2: co hosts kind of me and yours, and there's personal
Speaker 2: insights into a fresh.
Speaker 1: Takey that is me.
Speaker 2: I more often than not agree with your opinions and perspectives.
Speaker 2: The reason for this email, though, was that I just
Speaker 2: have finished listening to season four, and while I agree
Speaker 2: with you, it's one of the two weeks seasons. I
Speaker 2: just thought that I would send you my thoughts on
Speaker 2: the episode Spirit the problem episode where you and Tyler
Speaker 2: talked about Lana didn't earn the dance with Clark as
Speaker 2: she had been with Jason, etc. However, I slightly disagree.
Speaker 2: She leaves to go to Paris to get away from
Speaker 2: Clark and starts her relationship with Jason totally. It's agree
Speaker 2: it's inappropriate when he becomes a teacher, but she has
Speaker 2: a track record for liking older boys. Whitney is four
Speaker 2: years older and Jason is only a year old year
Speaker 2: or so older. She's trying to forget Clark, and Jason
Speaker 2: is the rebound. She's also trying to find her place
Speaker 2: in the world, feeling alone and battling with becoming an adult.
Speaker 2: This is why I think she reacts the way that
Speaker 2: she does when she thinks Clark is the one that
Speaker 2: got Jason fired, but quickly apologizes when she finds out
Speaker 2: it's Lex and tries once again to involve Clark by
Speaker 2: showing him the tattoo.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't remember her finding out Lex Scott Jason fired.
Speaker 1: I just remember that shot of like, why would you
Speaker 1: the last shot of that episode where Clark's like, why
Speaker 1: would you get him fired? And Lex is like.
Speaker 2: I think it is also why she reacts so badly
Speaker 2: when she sees Clark with Alicia, not just because she
Speaker 2: tried to kill her, but also Clark is with her,
Speaker 2: seemingly moving on himself. She also she also knows that
Speaker 2: Clark shared with Alicia in the past and didn't.
Speaker 3: Want her with her.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, see, she also knows that Clark shared with
Speaker 2: Alicia in the past and did it with her. When
Speaker 2: the previous episode of Sacred you see Lana begin to
Speaker 2: question her relationship with Jason, and when she is on
Speaker 2: the plane to China, you see when she is talking
Speaker 2: to Clark the beginning of her think she has made
Speaker 2: a mistake and she still has feelings for Clark. In
Speaker 2: the next episode, she doesn't trust Jason and steals the
Speaker 2: crystal herself and that is the end of their relationship.
Speaker 2: Then in the Spirit episode, when she hears then while
Speaker 2: she was inhabited by Dawn and ask Clark to the
Speaker 2: prom you see a flash on her face of this
Speaker 2: what she wanted to go with Clark anyway. Anyway, this
Speaker 2: is just my thoughts on that which I'm happy to
Speaker 2: be disgusted or dismiss Sorry once again for the late email,
Speaker 2: but I hope to catch up with the rest of
Speaker 2: the podcast quickly and will send you more of my
Speaker 2: thoughts if that's okay. Kind regards Adam.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Adam for all that thought you put
Speaker 1: into spirit. I haven't really watched that episode since I
Speaker 1: did the podcast because I never liked it very much.
Speaker 1: May be angry as someone who is shipping Clark and
Speaker 1: c in those days. Yes, and then Havelana who has
Speaker 1: a boyfriend, show up to dance with Clark at the prom,
Speaker 1: and then we have to cut the Chloe lows like
Speaker 1: it's okay, Chloe, he doesn't deserve you anyway, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: marry him. Like, think about that, Yeah, think about the
Speaker 1: optics of that. Interesting. You know, I'll rewatch some season
Speaker 1: four one day and try to have a better understanding
Speaker 1: of maybe all the character motivations. And the thing was,
Speaker 1: like with Jason ro they just fast forward his character
Speaker 1: to like being a villain and then like I don't
Speaker 1: even remember him and Lana even broke up. They just
Speaker 1: like they just stopped dating and Jason went off finding
Speaker 1: crystals and that was and that was it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just remember being not liking that episode,
Speaker 1: Like I understand, well, of course we had to build
Speaker 1: towards Clark and Luna the dance together. I'm like, look, look,
Speaker 1: I know I'm a Clark and Chloe shipper from back then.
Speaker 1: But season one did all so much better with with
Speaker 1: them two going together to the dance. Anyway, there you go,
Speaker 1: they went to prom together. Good for you, Clark Alina,
Speaker 1: but guess what they didn't? So all right, we have
Speaker 1: an email from Mike Franz titled Patron Mike Franz, thank
Speaker 1: you for always holding on to small, litle dear Zach
Speaker 1: and super ooh co hosts Oh, we're super thanks for asking.
Speaker 1: I wanted to write and say thank you all for
Speaker 1: the hard work you've been into this.
Speaker 3: Somebody out there got you, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to write and say thank you for all
Speaker 1: the words where you put into the podcast. I've been
Speaker 1: a fan since your coverage of season one, episode nine,
Speaker 1: Rogue back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I fell behind with the season by season recap at
Speaker 1: the end of season nine, but have just recently listened
Speaker 1: to your coverage of season ten, episode seven Ambush. I
Speaker 1: appreciate your personal anecdote of how you experienced some major
Speaker 1: life changes during your time recording and producing the podcast,
Speaker 1: particularly your experience of starting the podcast as a single
Speaker 1: person and finding and marrying your own lostling. Congratulations, I
Speaker 1: too began listening to the podcast as a single person
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and now I'm also married. It is
Speaker 1: funny to me how your podcast run has become its
Speaker 1: own run, where we can now mark our personal histories
Speaker 1: by which season of Smavel you recovering. I like that.
Speaker 1: That's nice. That's a nice nice But I don't really
Speaker 1: thought about it that way. In addition to whin Smovell
Speaker 1: was airing, I'm old enough to fill nostalgic about the
Speaker 1: days when it was possible to miss TV episodes and
Speaker 1: not have a streaming service to find them. Very true.
Speaker 1: Thanks again for all your hard work and the contributions
Speaker 1: of your guest host. Yeah, these days I listened to
Speaker 1: the podcast and walking my dog. I heard you were
Speaker 1: fond of dogs, so I'm shamelessly attaching a picture of
Speaker 1: her to this email for your enjoyment. Her name is Zara,
Speaker 1: my wife and I rescue heard from a local shelter
Speaker 1: like Shelby for Clark. She's brought so much joy to
Speaker 1: our lives. Thanks again, always holding on too Smallvell. Thank you, sincerely,
Speaker 1: Mike Franz. It's beautiful dog, Zar. I will include that
Speaker 1: picture in the social media. I do love dogs some
Speaker 1: of big dog fans, so I love it when Shelby
Speaker 1: showed out. I almost named my dog Shelby. What I
Speaker 1: got around this time. I actually named for Shasta at
Speaker 1: the time because I just graduated from you. Of Asia,
Speaker 1: Shasta was on the Shasta was the winner, but Shelby
Speaker 1: was on the shortlist. Thank chroles. Onward, they just sort
Speaker 1: to think about how like we think about, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was happening in our lives when this season is
Speaker 1: small will happened? And this is happening in our lives
Speaker 1: when this season the podcast happened. I hadn't really thought
Speaker 1: about those terms as farm, but I guess you know,
Speaker 1: you go this long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what happens?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: It is? So thanks Mike, I appreciate it. Thank you
Speaker 1: for a patronage.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Next we have an email from Menagowan.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, gun, I hope I said that right. And
Speaker 3: this is an email as titled questions, Hey Zach, just
Speaker 3: listen to your Fortune podcast. I really enjoyed the episode
Speaker 3: a whole lot more than the two of you.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 3: Sure it was very frivolous, but there was a lemur
Speaker 3: in the great Lewis and Oliver interaction and Oliver addressed
Speaker 3: as a showgirl. If you ask me what this has
Speaker 3: to do with Superman, well his name is Clark Ken
Speaker 3: and he did use some powers. I guess I did
Speaker 3: want to ask one question and note something. Well, you
Speaker 3: have Matt Lathamon before you wrap up. I enjoyed his
Speaker 3: past interactions and was noticing he hadn't been on for
Speaker 3: season ten yet, also missed a shirtless Oliver account when
Speaker 3: his show girl outfit got messed up. You don't have
Speaker 3: to post this on Twitter like you did the last time,
Speaker 3: but as a female fan, I had to do my part.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to your serious finale coverage. Can't wait to
Speaker 3: see how you differentiate it from the others. Enjoy your weekend. Thanks, amen,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: Gonna be a little different. Stay tuned for a serious
Speaker 1: finale coverage. But yes, actually I believe am. And you
Speaker 1: pointed out that I forgot h Luther in the episode. Hilarious.
Speaker 1: I think maybe more than one person did, but I
Speaker 1: know you did. Maybe that post on social media, maybe
Speaker 1: that'shey you talk about it. I'm sorry you don't worka
Speaker 1: off on my head. And yes, guess what Matt Latham
Speaker 1: is up on the next episode. He's gonna be in.
Speaker 1: Can't He's our guest for cancer. Couldn't finish, could not
Speaker 1: finish the podcast without having Matt on. So many mats
Speaker 1: on this is a lot of mass but Latham, He's
Speaker 1: been there since season one. Great guests. I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: talking to him about Small Villa. Everybody brings their own
Speaker 1: kind of angle when they talk about the show, and
Speaker 1: he brings some great energy himself. And yes, uh if
Speaker 1: he's one of your favorite guests, he will be on
Speaker 1: season ten. The next episode we cover Kent, So stay tuned.
Speaker 1: I know you will, So thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, we have another email from Adam Little compliments
Speaker 2: on review of Crisis of Infinite Earths. Hi, Zach, just
Speaker 2: wanted to drop a quick email on your four part
Speaker 2: review of the five part Crisis on of Infinity.
Speaker 1: Fail right there, so good.
Speaker 3: Like my previous email, I am still trying to catch
Speaker 3: up and I've just got to this part. I think
Speaker 3: that you.
Speaker 2: Lance, Lauren and Matt's on part three were spot on
Speaker 2: with their commentary. Part two was by far the best episode,
Speaker 2: but with the month gaff between the broadcast of parts
Speaker 2: one through three, and then four and five really affected
Speaker 2: the final two partner I forgot that. It really did
Speaker 2: make me laugh as you discussed the final episodes, as
Speaker 2: it was a complete letdown, especially part four.
Speaker 3: The three of you are just so funny together. Kind
Speaker 3: regards Adam.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks, Adam. That was a special time in the podcast.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we had a good time covering the
Speaker 1: crisis like that was. I mean we stayed we watched
Speaker 1: that live, stayed up late recording and I posted like
Speaker 1: the next day because that was that was an event,
Speaker 1: like that was everything was leading towards that. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was a return of Tom and Erica, and we
Speaker 1: thought Michael, but he didn't come back. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: that that they took a month or whatever off and
Speaker 1: then come back and like dump the two episodes the
Speaker 1: same night. It just wasn't It was not the same.
Speaker 1: So but though we were talking about, like you know,
Speaker 1: marking certain times in your life in the podcast, So
Speaker 1: that's that was a special time of the podcast as well,
Speaker 1: because we knew we needed to seize the moment there
Speaker 1: and we did, and it was fun to hear us
Speaker 1: speculate about what was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Yes and none of it happening.
Speaker 1: So but thanks, thanks Adam, and another email for Madam
Speaker 1: Adam what really? Uh yeah, Corey Moore, you gotta run.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the correspondence at him. So so your next
Speaker 1: team in here says just some thoughts on Smallville Following
Speaker 1: a rewatch, Hi Zach, Having inspired by listening to the podcast,
Speaker 1: I binge watched the entire series in a few weeks.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm up to episode ninety eight of
Speaker 1: your podcast, Season five, episode ten fanatic. I haven't rewatched
Speaker 1: smovel in a few years, and doing so now being
Speaker 1: older and binge watching it instead of once a week.
Speaker 1: I think I changed to my views on the show,
Speaker 1: which I always loved and still do. Before the rewatch,
Speaker 1: I really disliked season four with the Witches and the Tigus,
Speaker 1: seasons five, six, and seven and into seven with Lex
Speaker 1: and Lana plotline, plus Veritas retcon, and then season eight
Speaker 1: and a lot of return rewatching it now, I still
Speaker 1: disliked the Witches of the Tea, but having listened to
Speaker 1: your podcast, I understand now the issues they had during production. Firstly,
Speaker 1: Christa Reeve dying they might kidder, refusing to do another appearance,
Speaker 1: so I can understand more now the plot points than
Speaker 1: they had to try and fix. However, I understand the
Speaker 1: clerk Lex and Lana Paul line of five and six.
Speaker 1: I actually surprise myself and like now now recognizing how
Speaker 1: manivative Lex is planning seas of doubt and a lot
Speaker 1: of his mind really exploiting her need to be with
Speaker 1: someone who loves quote unquote trusts her and not lea her,
Speaker 1: though I don't think she understands what love is. After reckoning,
Speaker 1: she goes to Lex and leans on him because Lex
Speaker 1: has been there for her and all this time he
Speaker 1: has been manipulating her so much like season four where
Speaker 1: she has run off to get over Clark and latches
Speaker 1: onto Jason, she does the same thing with Lex. As
Speaker 1: toxic as this relationship is, and how one couldn't see
Speaker 1: this pairing ever being a thing. That's why I think
Speaker 1: they get together. However, she does realize her mistake in
Speaker 1: early season six. Season seven really suffered from the Rider's strike.
Speaker 1: The ret comm with veritaz Ark is really terrible. I mean,
Speaker 1: suddenly the window changes. It would have been easier to
Speaker 1: put the symbol hidden on the fireplace or even a
Speaker 1: smaller v in the Crest than that huge one, huge
Speaker 1: plot holes throughout the season, and Laura Vanderer being woefully underused.
Speaker 1: They just didn't know what to do with her. It
Speaker 1: also shows why Clark and Lana can't be together as
Speaker 1: together they actually don't work, even though they do love
Speaker 1: each other, but Lana not being in the season fully
Speaker 1: means they didn't explore enough. My thoughts Alana's returning season
Speaker 1: eight are actually don't mind the overall arc. I feel
Speaker 1: as though it would have been better placed than season
Speaker 1: seven with some tweaks, and if Kristen had been fully
Speaker 1: available for the season, then it would have been a
Speaker 1: better way to send her off. I hate seeing this is.
Speaker 1: I love Michael Rosenbaum, but I think Lex had run
Speaker 1: his course by that stage, and as it was the
Speaker 1: same villain every week, so it was in a good way,
Speaker 1: so it was in a way good he left, but
Speaker 1: then he came back for the final episode to render
Speaker 1: their fight. Season eight I've come to really dislike as
Speaker 1: a whole. I hated the red kind of Davis living
Speaker 1: at the mansion, Clark fighting Doomsday before he was Superman.
Speaker 1: It's just baffling to me. Chloe's tossic relationship with both
Speaker 1: Davis and Jenny, which is not good in any way
Speaker 1: apart from the set that becomes Watchtower. I think I've
Speaker 1: rambled on long enough in this email. Sorry so long,
Speaker 1: so I believe it there. Thank you once again for
Speaker 1: putting this podcast out there for so long. Adam Well,
Speaker 1: lots of good stuff again, I will say on the
Speaker 1: Lex leaving thing specifically, I actually do think you know,
Speaker 1: the soft rebit was a shot in the arm of
Speaker 1: Smallville in season eight when Alex was gone because he
Speaker 1: had kind of been played out as a character. Now
Speaker 1: I wish he'd like been a recurring guest star or
Speaker 1: something and not just like, oh, we can't even use
Speaker 1: your voice or your like this, we'll do Darth Lex
Speaker 1: and all stuff. Right, So that made it more complicated,
Speaker 1: but it was good to it gave Clark kind of
Speaker 1: a you know, more space to grow on his own.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we went and wanted Rosa Moom not to leave,
Speaker 1: but him not being there opened up some opportunities for
Speaker 1: some of the characters, like Tests for example, she would
Speaker 1: never exist if rose Mom had left. So yeah, good stuff,
Speaker 1: and thanks for continuing to write in a bunch your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. Next, we have an email from Alex
Speaker 3: Hoey and it's titled good job guys mailbag. Hello. The
Speaker 3: name is Alex, longtime listener, second time emailer. I emailed
Speaker 3: last time years ago, jeez about doing my own Gotham podcast.
Speaker 3: I recall getting getting the go ahead for Always Hold
Speaker 3: On to Gotham. Well, I started UNI since then, so
Speaker 3: that plan went out the window. Did start a podcast
Speaker 3: during UNI, though bit generic with it being a film podcast,
Speaker 3: but I think it's fun to do while I build
Speaker 3: up my podcast skills to do more interesting stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 3: because of you and I fell behind your podcast. So
Speaker 3: while you guys are near the end of season two,
Speaker 3: I'm at the start of season eight, so by the
Speaker 3: time I get caught up, you'll be long finished. So
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say thanks for all the great
Speaker 3: hours of podcasting I got to listen to over the years.
Speaker 3: I listened all the way from the start around the
Speaker 3: time you were on season four. I loved your episode
Speaker 3: by episode reviews of the show. It was great to
Speaker 3: hear another big Smallville fan talk about it, as I
Speaker 3: don't know anyone else personally who was a big fan
Speaker 3: It's been a blast, and if you ever do, always
Speaker 3: hold onto heroes. I need a guest, stop me an
Speaker 3: email or don't know worries. I don't know about you,
Speaker 3: but I'll always hold on the Smallville. Kind regards, Alex
Speaker 3: Hoey pronounced Hoey. Okay, cool, I did it right. PS.
Speaker 3: If any listener is interested, my podcast is called film FM.
Speaker 3: We have a new guest on every episode to talk
Speaker 3: about their favorite movie. Feel free to read this out
Speaker 3: loud on the mail bag. I just did.
Speaker 1: Feel free. Did not read this out loud?
Speaker 3: Oh, feel free to not read this out on them,
Speaker 3: but I just did. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1: Yeah go check out film FM.
Speaker 3: Yes, pss, I'll totally do. Always hold on to Gotham
Speaker 3: one day if no one does pss. Yes, sorry, this
Speaker 3: email is too long. No, it's all good.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yes, thank you. Look, I mean one
Speaker 1: day and when Lance and I are older and yeah,
Speaker 1: we got we're settled and you know, retired like you
Speaker 1: know what Scott from DVD. Yeah, that's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do in our retirement home. Anyway, Thanks Alex.
Speaker 2: All right, we have an email from Corey Moore, our
Speaker 2: favorite person late season ten Howdy, I'm just enjoying your
Speaker 2: season ten reviews. How cool is it to have John
Speaker 2: Glover back doing some good old bad Luther stuff. The
Speaker 2: Fortune episode has one of the funniest moments in Smallville. No,
Speaker 2: not the monkey, but Clark under the influence of some
Speaker 2: magic champagne and runs into the corner of a building.
Speaker 3: Lol, Up, up and away. More drunk Clark, Kent.
Speaker 1: I mean that probably was the best one of that episode.
Speaker 1: Probably he just runs to the wall. I love every
Speaker 1: talks about the the lemur so I had Anthony on
Speaker 1: from the grunt that and it's just talking about animals.
Speaker 1: That's why they're ripping off their like we can't afford
Speaker 1: a tiger? What can we get's got stripes? That episode
Speaker 1: is terrible, So thank RB terrible. Keny can who he
Speaker 1: played for? Kenny, people have no idea.
Speaker 3: Let's play another game of who he played.
Speaker 1: For on T and T check it out. Shout out
Speaker 1: to the Houston Rockets who finally won the division to
Speaker 1: give for the first years.
Speaker 3: I saw that. I was like, cool, I'm Filipino night too.
Speaker 1: Philippines all right, so Nick is part Filipino before good
Speaker 1: lord man eight years not been canceled. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: get me cancer.
Speaker 3: And I'm also not I'm fully Filippino. I'm Philippine, American.
Speaker 6: Biceps too small, boots will never fit, and the bill
Speaker 6: not that den anymore. I thought I was thinking my sizes.
Speaker 3: Oh business and basketball legend. Shaquille O'Neal, what are you
Speaker 3: doing here?
Speaker 6: I'm just meeting with the director, James gun I'm gonna
Speaker 6: be in this new Superman movie. Ain't that right, James?
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I'm so glad you guys connected. It's
Speaker 7: not every day you get to meet the og superhero.
Speaker 7: David want you to meet my buddy, Shack. Shack, I
Speaker 7: want you to meet Superman. You see the resemblance.
Speaker 3: Suit doesn't fit anyway, Oh Shack, don't be like what
Speaker 3: are you doing?
Speaker 1: Dude?
Speaker 7: Come on, man, you should have chose me, mister Gunn Dude,
Speaker 7: don't be like that, Shack.
Speaker 3: You know you would look right in the suit. Come on,
Speaker 3: I don't even tell you about the cool cameo I offer, Barkley, Barklay,
Speaker 3: do tell.
Speaker 1: All right? Another email from Adam Litel Lex Corp Versus
Speaker 1: Luthor Corp. Debate here, Isaac, here's my take on what
Speaker 1: is Lex Corp and what is Luthor Corp. From season two,
Speaker 1: Lex Corp is the plant in small but that Lex
Speaker 1: is leading the buyout for at the end of season
Speaker 1: one with all the workers. Luthor Corp is Lionel's company
Speaker 1: at this point. Later on, Luther Corp gets the plant back,
Speaker 1: which is why Lex Corp disappears. Lex and Lionel then
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season up to season seven
Speaker 1: battle out leading the company. Keep up the good work,
Speaker 1: Adam No, I totally agree. It was just funny that,
Speaker 1: you know they call I didn't really This is my
Speaker 1: you know, lack of deep Comba knowledge, especially when I
Speaker 1: started watching Smallville. So Luther Corp, Yeah, it's Lex, Luthor's company.
Speaker 1: Luthor Corp makes sense. Yes, apparently it's Lex Corp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cox. But when Lionel's the guy and Lex's you know,
Speaker 1: a young man, it's not gonna be Lex Corp. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Luthor Corpse. So that's a really smart change.
Speaker 1: But then they wanted to always try to weave in
Speaker 1: Lex Corpse. So like by the early season two they're
Speaker 1: doing Lex Corpse that there's that sign on like garage
Speaker 1: Lex pulls out off. Its really cool logo we alway
Speaker 1: joke about they always talk about Xcorp. With and then
Speaker 1: it just disappears by the time season twos over, Like
Speaker 1: Alex is like you know, gone on the island. Y. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, that's a quotabley forgot to be quoted. All Yes,
Speaker 1: we're working on the raft. It's a you've seen that episode.
Speaker 1: Do't worry about that nick when it's when, it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Matter, all right. And this email is from David Emerson.
Speaker 3: Email title to be read at the end.
Speaker 1: Well, it is the end.
Speaker 3: It is the end, it says mister Zach. Well you
Speaker 3: have done it, sir. This has been a fantastic show.
Speaker 3: When I was working at my last job, I listened
Speaker 3: to thirty or so podcasts. I stopped listening to all
Speaker 3: but three or four of those. This one survived the
Speaker 3: cut because it's so damn good. I'm so proud of you, sir.
Speaker 3: You did it. You ran a great show. Your guest,
Speaker 3: your commentary, your tangents all excellent. I'll miss the show.
Speaker 3: It always felt like hanging out with friends and chatting
Speaker 3: about a show you loved. Here's hoping for always hold
Speaker 3: on to heroes. Thank you, Davin.
Speaker 1: Another request for Always on Heroes? Nick, what should I do?
Speaker 1: Should do it?
Speaker 3: I actually really enjoyed that show, so yeah, I brought
Speaker 3: it on yourself.
Speaker 1: You know what I feel like, I feel like somebody
Speaker 1: I understand my Micaroseman left movel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do a things. Guys, you have done this, yes.
Speaker 1: But really I really set myself up for Always onto Heroes,
Speaker 1: didn't I? Yeah, but that's back in twenty sixteen, when
Speaker 1: when Heroes just ended a few years before. You got
Speaker 1: to give the people what they want eventually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want me to come back on the show.
Speaker 1: Well you want to come and Always on Heroes.
Speaker 3: I'll do it. That what I can probably watch because
Speaker 3: it is only like a couple of seasons.
Speaker 1: Only a couple of seasons, not dare you sir? Heroes
Speaker 1: is four seasons and uh a revival. You know. There
Speaker 1: was talk recently about a new revival of Heroes and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, if they do that, it's a
Speaker 1: sign I have to do it.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's what we're waiting.
Speaker 1: But they haven't. There's been no news about it since,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. But now that the people have
Speaker 1: spoken there they want Always on the Heroes. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be anytime soon, right, I gotta come
Speaker 1: up for air, take some time off. There are, like
Speaker 1: I keep saying, there's plenty of other small little stuff
Speaker 1: to discuss with comic books and novels. Presumably there'll be
Speaker 1: more Superman content to talk about Superman specials, and we
Speaker 1: can do some special things as we continue to to podcast.
Speaker 1: So it's a different error of the podcast coming up.
Speaker 1: But well, we'll still do what we do, and we'll
Speaker 1: still do mail bags as long as you guys keep
Speaker 1: sending us mail and uh, you do guys keep recording
Speaker 1: with me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll do that for us.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that. So but yeah, another another fun mail bag.
Speaker 1: We have fourteen of these, huh, and I think Nick
Speaker 1: has been on almost all of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to think it was like maybe one
Speaker 3: last time I was either sick or making those out
Speaker 3: of town, and.
Speaker 1: Then originally maybe you weren't audible. It's like I think
Speaker 1: Nick started with me, and there was a beginning where
Speaker 1: there was like, you know, maybe just one and just
Speaker 1: the two, y'all, but you kind of sell them to
Speaker 1: this is this is how we do the mail bags,
Speaker 1: and it's a fun tradition. We hang out, we catch up. Uh,
Speaker 1: we read your mail and hopefully you guys enjoy enjoy
Speaker 1: these eunthences.
Speaker 6: I hope you do.
Speaker 1: We enjoy them so and we really appreciate all the
Speaker 1: love you guys in us. You don't really have to
Speaker 1: you don't have to hype us up in these messages
Speaker 1: and emails, but it's really nice to see our names
Speaker 1: and praying like, hey, we love what you do. And
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, that's you know, it's all about
Speaker 1: building community here, you know. I mean, the real small
Speaker 1: Ville is the friends that made along the way. Am
Speaker 1: all right, y'all, that's great, that's correct. So that is so.
Speaker 1: I say that sarcastically because it's cheesy and overuse that phrase,
Speaker 1: but I also truly made it from the bottom of
Speaker 1: my heart. So uh, I hope you guys enjoyed our
Speaker 1: latest mail bag and until the next time we open
Speaker 1: up the mail bag. Always hold On a Small Dell.
