Our Editor's Take
Talk Ville is a Smallville rewatch podcast hosted by two of its stars. Tom Welling starred as Clark Kent, and Michael Rosenbaum played Lex Luthor. They represent an iconic rivalry in superhero history. Smallville ran for ten seasons, starting in 2001. It told the story of Clark Kent growing up in Smallville, Kansas. Tom and Michael analyze every TV episode one at a time and share backstage stories fans may not know. They reveal all their favorite storylines plus what they'd change if they could film it again. The two also answer fan questions and talk to fellow costars for their perspectives.
Talk Ville's first episode is a review of the Smallville pilot. It's an opportunity for Tom and Michael to discuss joining the cast and visiting the set for the first time. Tom admits to not recognizing himself when watching the episode again. The hosts discuss how their characters evolved and how they have adapted as actors.
As they review the eighth episode, Smallville cocreators Al Gough and Miles Millar join the podcast. Clark is home alone and has decided to host a party. Alongside his party planning, farm hand Earl Jenkins is experiencing tremors. He blames LuthorCorp and keeps people hostage to find answers to his condition. Al and Miles discuss filming the episode "Jitters" and why they chose to film it out of sequence. They also talk about the pressure to please everyone and the hours they put in to get everything right.
As an extra final episode for season one, John Glover, who played Lionel Luthor, joins the hosts. John shares what it was like playing this intriguing character and why he decided to take the role. Tom reveals how John's advice helped him during a scene. Michael explains why John's character was so important to his own. John is a much-anticipated podcast guest and doesn't disappoint with his upfront honesty.
