I had never watched the show while it was airing, I wasn’t a Superman fan at all, I started watching it a few years ago due to my wife harassing me, I must say I don’t regret it at all! Love that the two stars of the show (along with others from time to time) have such passion for this show and being able to hear their thoughts on it and behind the scenes info is super cool thanks for the great podcast!
Big fan of Smallville and this pod cast is the best rewatch of any show out there. Engaging episode analysis, entertaining bts info, and great comraderie between the actors. The guest star appearances are also top notch.
One of my favorite rewatch podcasts. Smallville is one of my all time favorites and I love reliving it with all the cast and crew
If you love Superman and ever enjoyed Smallville, this rewatch podcast is for you! This show also has a very kind and caring community on Patreon with great BTS access at the lowest tier. The real joy is listening to the episode and then having “coffee shop” laughter and community afterwards on the boards. Some of us have become pen-pals and meet up at conventions! Like I said, come join the fun!!
I’ve recently started rewatching small vile, and though this rewatch podcast seemed like a great way to do it. Let me say this upfront… I’m struggling with small vile. The show didn’t age well for me, and it’s been torturous to watch. And so, Rosenbaum not liking the show doesn’t bother me, cause the show does have a lot of flaws. That being said, Talkville is its own kind of torture. I listened for 3 seasons hoping it would get better, but yikes. If you’re looking for an in depth, passionate look at the show…. This isn’t it. Here’s why- 1. The actors remember almost nothing about filming the show, the story, the characters, or the lore. 2. The hosts don’t care enough to actually watch the show. While the say they watch the episodes, They miss huge parts of episodes, don’t connect previous episodes and plot lines, and generally miss the point. 3. They don’t have anyone on the show to clarify Superman lore or Easter eggs, so they often comment on unrecognized Easter eggs and references, often criticizing them since they don’t know what they are. 4. Rosie (lex) is a total ego maniac. He cuts everyone off continuously, poorly reads summaries of episodes he clearly didn’t watch, and often makes fun of the show and the fans. Granted there’s a lot to make fun of, but show some class dude. Rosie also continually talks over Ryan, one of the cohosts, and any guests that show up. The dude can’t stand not being the center of attention. 5. The best part of the show, Ryan, is given few opportunities to talk, never gets to interact with the guests, and when the guests try to talk to him, Rosie butts in and takes over. Despite this, there are a couple bright spots- 1. Ryan is a co-host watching the show for the first time, and easily the best part of the show. He seems to generally enjoy it and he’s often being introduced to the world of smallville for the first time, and it’s cool when he gets to meet the guests who once were on the show. They just don’t utilize him nearly enough. 2. The guests are usually awesome, such as co stars and the creators and writers of the show. They all usually seem so much more enthusiastic than the actual hosts of the podcast. So, anyway, I would give this one a pass. Maybe listen to episodes where they have guests.
