Join us for a cautionary tale against the usage of parasites and Red Kryptonite in Season 2 Episode 14: RUSH! Tried like hell to get Sam Jones on, but we’ll just have to settle with gushing over his performance in this fun episode from afar this week… damn who’s that?! After talking about the Chlanaloe love triangle and days in the cave, Michael questions why everything gets wrapped up so neatly so quickly. Tom remembers scenes Sam hated filming, what the ‘car off the cliff’ stunt was like, and why the recipe of Red-K Clark was recycled so quickly. Thank you to our sponsors: ?

Suspect

We’ve made it to the Smallville, Die Hard crossover with Season 2 Episode 12: Insurgence! What would an episode of Talk Ville be without a cameo from the one and only, Al Gough. Al shares his thoughts on the episode that mirrors Jitters, and discusses why they also were surprised by how ‘over budget’ this went. Despite his court ordered anger management, Michael questions a couple scenes where Lex flies off the handle, while also analyzing how Lionel gets creepier and creepier as the series progresses. Tom talks about the iconic scene where Clark leaps a building in a single bound, while also analyzing how Lionel seems to get less blind as the season continues. Thank you to our sponsors: ?

Insurgence

This week he’s baaack… and she’s back! Join Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as we dive into Smallville Season 2 Episode 11: VISAGE, accompanied by none other than Whitney Fordham himself, Eric Johnson! So glad we got the guy one. Eric remembers what it was like finding out his character was being sent off, the bittersweet return coming back in Season 2, and what it was like playing the heel to the ‘Superman-to-be.’ During the review of the episode the guys talk about the interesting dynamics of playing your own character while mimicking another, behind the scenes of Clark on Clark fight scene, and the fun of shooting with two returning guest stars.

Visage with ERIC JOHNSON (Whitney)

Welcome to Smallville’s ‘cave era’ … this week Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum review Season 2 Episode 10: SKINWALKER! After talking about how this is probably the unanimous decision for worst set to work on during the series, the guys get some insight from Al Gough on how important this cave plotline is to the vision of Season 2 and origin story of Clark Kent. Tom remembers working with Tamara Feldman (as Kyla Willowbrook) and how intimidating the wolf was on set. Michael talks about the curse that is ‘knowing Clark’s secret’ while also giving props to another killer performance from Annette O’Toole. Thank you to our sponsors: ?‍?

Skinwalker

Join us this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit Smallville Season 2 Episode 9: DICHOTIC… Not only does the show welcome a notable guest star in Jonthan Taylor Thomas, but our pod gets graced by the one and only, Aunt Nell herself, SARAH JANE REDMOND. Yeah folks! Sarah remembers what it was like during the early seasons of the show, her connection to David Nutter, and a crazy story of how they made Baby Lana cry in the Pilot. While Michael grapples with the idea of every character acting crazy in this episode - Tom talks about working with JTT, the insane Lana dam stunt, and another “damn who’s that” Pete moment.

Dichotic with SARAH JANE REDMOND (Aunt Nell)

Our scores may have been high, but this week’s episode is definitely a bummer… join us for one of the most emotional reviews yet as we get into Smallville Season 2 Episode 8: RYAN. We revisit memories of working alongside Ryan Kelley on set and the different emotional hurdles we had to overcome in creating this episode. Tom talks about the unique juxtaposition of characters who usually have all the control, being helpless in this episode; while also discussing how he set boundaries while filming. Michael remembers an improvisational outburst that sticks with him to this day, plus the idea of cast members being ‘in the dark’ when it came to the success of certain episodes and characters.

Ryan

Our rewatch rebounds this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum review Season 2 Episode 7: LINEAGE. Not only do we get to review a beautifully written and directed episode of Smallville, but we’re also joined by two very important people to the show. First - it’s been a long time coming, but Annette O’Toole finally joins us! She shares everything about her experience as Martha Kent, questions she had about Clark as a mother of small children at the time, and how she prevented the Kent farm from going up in a blaze. We also bug creator Al Gough about the difference in age between Clark and Lex, how the next couple episodes really picked up after the Redux dud, and why Lineage stood out amongst others. Not only that, but Tom remembers his enjoyment for the adoption storyline scenes and Michael talks about how we really see the conniving and treacherous side of Lionel Luthor start to emerge in this episode.

Lineage with ANNETTE O’TOOLE

Want to start out by saying thank you if you made it through this episode of Smallville… and well, misery loves company, so buckle up and join us for our review of Season 2 Episode 6: REDUX. Thank goodness we are joined by Maggie Lawson this week, because not only did she help this episode of Smallville save face, but she also helped make this podcast a whole lot better. This week we discuss all things that went wrong, and a few that went right with this infamous episode. We get some behind-the-scenes information on why this was aired out of order compared to when it was shot during Season 1 and how you can notice it throughout the episode. Tom remembers little tricks that he pulled to get through some of the scenes, Maggie remembers what it was like to guest on Smallville back in the day, and Michael questions why he had those sunglasses throughout Season 2. __________________________________________________ ?

Redux with MAGGIE LAWSON

This week the guys shine some light on the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde style episode as we rewatch and review Smallville Season 2 Episode 5: Nocturne. Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum talk about Lana’s visits to the cemetery, how Martha begins to own her own storyline, and why everyone seems to be injuring their wrists in the episode. We’re graced with a call from Al Gough himself to explain some of the logic that went into this episode surrounding Martha and Lionel. Tom remembers a crazy stunt story while on set and Michael wonders why he was left on top of a glacier. Love ya folks. Thank you to our sponsors: ?

Join Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as they break down the countless instances of deceit in this week’s rewatch of Season 2 Episode 3: DUPLICITY … whole lot of lying going on.

Duplicity

Might be one of those “show episode was ehh but the rewatch was good” type of weeks - this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit Season 2 Episode 2: HEAT. We find out this episode’s idea to be included in the pilot was canned, and maybe for good reason? Tom remembers what it was like portraying Clark’s pubescent discovery of heat vision, Michael questions why every single sultry single got cut from the show, and we all find out why Smallville was so sweaty in this episode.

They pick up on the tornado cliffhanger from last season’s finale and discuss what it was like behind the scenes to shoot something of that magnitude. The guys also talk about what it was like jumping back into their characters after a hiatus, the emotionally powerful choices taken by John Schneider in this episode, and their feelings around Clark putting on his patented red jacket, blue shirt combo.
