    Tom & Ryan are great
    This podcast has it’s interesting times, when Tom is allowed to talk and Ryan doesn’t get cut off. Michael really brings down the show being so pessimistic and overall being so full of himself that he seems uninterested in anything that doesn’t have to do with him. I hope he’ll consider moving along after season 7, and having someone else do the show in his place!

    Love it…but
    Really love the pod overall. Smallville is still one of my favorite shows and this goes great right alongside it. Been listening since the beginning and it’s getting better! Michael is definitely trying and improving at not cutting people off so much! However.. could still be better. I mean over at Always Hold On To Smallville… he wasn’t there and he knows WAYYY more than you guys. The Office Ladies show is so satisfying as a fan bc they never say .. “I don’t remember oh well moving along.” They work hard to research and find out! I’m sure the fans and patrons would appreciate more effort. Still.. I love to listen and it makes me happy!

    I ❤️ SmallVille 4EVER!
    I’m loving this podcast I think it’s great! I think this will probably be an unpopular opinion my favorite character is Lex Luther because K think that even though he was the bad guy I still don’t think he got enough credit for being the bad guy. Tom, Michael and Ryan keep up the good work!❤️
  • Infinitenerd1996
    Love the show
    I love this show and hearing how everything happens behind the scenes, who does what, and just in general how they do things is amazing. I do wish the episodes were longer but I understand time constraint. That being said Michael is the best lex luthor

    Great companion to a first time Smallville watcher.
    I have just started watching Smallville. Within a few days of watching an episode I listen to the podcast. It has enhanced my enjoyment. It’s great to hear about guest stars, how some scenes were shot, directing choices, and Tom and Micheal’s memories.
  • clarkkent25
    Michael’s kinda rude
    Michael could try letting Tom and Ryan talk without cutting them off
  • MegsB394
    Love!!!

  • Courtking2306
    AMAZING SHOW!
    I love watching this show every week. It's always so fun to get insight from Michael and Tom!
  • Hatc rules
    My favorite
    I loved this show when it was current and going through it again is a cool mix of nostalgia and getting to introduce my wife and child to smallville! They love it!!
  • nite owl 3
    Can not wait!
    Welling and Rosenbaum need to reunite and do something on screen ASAP. Great chemistry. Smallville Animated NOW please!
  • SirNickselot
    Cumulus Network…
    I really want to listen to this show but I can’t support Cumulus Network. I listened to a few episodes and really enjoyed it. Decided to check what the other offerings by Cumulus are so full of hate and misinformation that I cannot support it. Benny Johnson and Mark Levin?? Really? I love my country too much to listen to people trying to gaslight America into fascism. Move to another network and I’d gladly listen.
  • BurtMaclin98
    Too many ads!
    Listen I love the show & love Tom & Michael but the actual show to ad time ratio is insane. It’s like 10 ads each episode. I get they gotta pay the bills but then what is the patreon for??
  • Feforyou
    Just finished watching this series
    I just finished watching this series for first time and totally enjoyed it. It’s now one of my favorites series ever! Then I came across this podcast on YouTube and started listening. I am listening from episode one because I plan to listen each and every episode.. great so far I love that both of you brings a different personality to the podcast..
  • Trev2499
    Concussions in smallville?
    Who had the most concussions in the entire show?(character not actor)
  • Weapon N
    Love the show
    Randomly found a YouTube clip of the show and that helped me find the podcast. Started rewatching the show with my wife because the pod is so good! Great work guys.
  • JackiexoFeldmann
    My First TV Show Love
    I’ve never loved a TV show more than Smallville. I was probably wayyyyyy to young to be watching it in my childhood bedroom, but never the less, I was! And I fell in love IMMEDIATELY. To listen to my two favorites years later talk through every episode has been nothing short of a GIFT. Whether you’re an OG fan or just catching on to the greatness that is Smallville, this pod is for you. 🌹🌹🌹
  • Jamie J 🤙
    I love a rewatch pod
    I’ve never read a comic book in my life but smallville was one of my favorite shows. this podcast is such a great way to revisit a show I loved so much as a kid
  • Cassie is my name
    One of the best rewatch podcasts
    It’s a great show with tons of BTS tidbits. You can tell how much fun they have together, and it makes it such a joy to listen.
  • HoldOnToSmallville
    Perfection
    Not only is Smallville an incredible show but having the G.O.A.Ts of all time Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) give us all BTS info just makes the show that much better

    Great show !!! Can’t stop listening
  • buginalwaysjr99
    Immaculate!
    I’ve been watching smallville since I was 8 I’m now 20 and love the show. It’s great to see Tom and Michael going back to the show and showing it some love after all this time giving incredible insight, bts moments, and special guests!
  • WhiteWolfCanncann
    Epic
    I was late to the party when it came to watching Smallville, but better late than never. Tom and Michael have truly tapped into something so special here. I love getting funny stories or behind the scenes “how it was made” snippets. I can’t say enough good things about what the guys are striving for here. Michael and Tom have a true friendship and it’s evident in every episode, which, in turn, makes each individual episode so easy to watch or listen to. Keep the episodes coming, cause we’re all ears.
  • clarkjmatty
    Michael needs to stop crapping on the show
    Michael didn’t even watch the show 20 years ago and he’s not even watching it now, admitting to fast-forwarding through episodes for this podcast. It’s honestly gotten too depressing to keep listening to this. I do like Tom Welling’s insights though, he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
  • AirTrafficController_2
    Talkville - new favorite podcast
    Favorite show when on the air. I followed Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast Inside of you mainly because I was a fan of him on Smallville. Now that he is side by side with Tom Welling (who was also my favorite guest on Inside of you) Rewatching my favorite show of all time it’s a no brainer I’m listening! Now that I’m listening they are actually really good and their first time buddy Ryan gives great input on a first watch point of view. I’m enjoying and getting some great behind the scenes information on Smallville.
  • Bayleigh Rico
    My Fave Podcast!!
    I love listening to this podcast! Currently rewatching smallville and it’s cool to hear behind the scenes commentary about the show. Michael Rosenbaum cracks me up every episode. Love this podcast!!!
  • Watrukk
    Really great
    Just found this podcast. It’s a great show. I love the balance and the cast is awesome. I enjoy talk ville almost as much as enjoy Smallville.
  • Waltor3
    Just finding out about this podcast
    I just found out about this podcast a week ago and have been binge listening nonstop. Absolutely loved this series and didn’t mind the changes they made to the mythology. It’s great to have the two main stars who probably were burnout during the mania revisit and become fans themselves of what they created. Thank you for doing this👍🏾 Walt
  • D.Zemora
    Fun stories & guests
    It’s a lot of fun hearing behind the scenes stories, actors honing their craft, and many stories of the show from guests including stars and production crew, including the show creators. Tom is the ever optimist, Rosie craps on the show (honestly pointing out errors), Engineer Ryan sees the show through fresh eyes, Editor Jason does an amazing job, Producer Bryce never picks my questions when I call in. Very enjoyable! I keep coming back for more and even restarted my rewatch & relisten to past episodes of the show & podcast 💜
  • MissCongeniality11
    THE BEST!
    I look forward to this podcast every single week! Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Welling, and Ryan and Bryce do a fantastic job of giving you a behind the scenes look at Smallville while also infusing it with a lot of humor and heart. I feel like I’m sitting around with friends just listening to them talk and joke around while also giving great insights and having special guests. Even if I didn’t love Smallville I would still love this podcast. It’s my favorite SHOW in general right now, not just my favorite podcast!
  • BumblinFool
    Absolutely worth it
    Love the show, Mike and Tom are a joy to listen to
  • tuckbrutha
    The bomb diggity
    This is the only podcast I will watch/listen to. Tom and Rosy do a phenomenal job with this pod. I’m only on season 2. I’m 2 years late. But I promise I will catch up. Tom is hilarious along with Michael. Ryan’s one liners are good too. Thanks gentlemen.

    Ugh shut up Rosie
    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.

    Long live Smallville!
    As a long time Smallville fan, I am thrilled that Tom and Michael are doing this podcast. Really enjoying the honest reviews and guests from the show. Always look forward to the next episode!
  • Darwinia06
    Fun, interesting, insightful!
    This podcast is a lot of fun! The guest stars are fantastic, and you get to learn interesting behind-the-scenes tidbits. It’s also quite intriguing to hear the interpretation of the characters and storylines from the actors, which may sometimes surprise you. I appreciate how the podcast is continuously evolving and improving, and they really value the fans (even inviting them onto the podcast!). Also, the Patreon community is welcoming, and you can get into some interesting deep dive discussions there. If you like Smallville, you’ll like Talkville too!
  • HoustoN77
    Love this! New listener!
    A great tribute to one of my all time favorite shows. I have all of the seasons on DVD/Blu-Ray. Also, I have watched the show all the way through multiple times. I’m so glad to have a deep insight into Smallville. It’s like watching for the first time all over again. I have been meaning to listen to this and start for a while now but I’m so glad you guys are still doing this. Keep going strong! I’ll support you both in anyway I can. The show brings up a lot good memories so I am very thankful. God Bless.
  • @ArchCASE
    Reminisce
    I enjoy listening to Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum recap my favorite TV Show of all time. It is always fascinating to see behind the fourth wall and see how the actors thought about different storylines and how it was filmed.
  • PatrickFenderguitar
    Smallville memories
    I am so glad these gentlemen started this podcast. Not only is it time for something like this but to hear their thoughts and feelings while they are still young and the the show has enough space to be honest and entertaining at the same time. Michael is pretty much has been the driving force. I like how the format is flexible enough to change if a guest comes on. I only wonder we get to the season when he is gone what his opinions will be. Tom is the reason this show works because he is Clark Kent/Superman. When he started you could tell he was a little guarded but now he knows people are interested he is very comfortable. I also wonder what he might think of the seasons that Michael is not in. Ryan is very good for the third chair because he represents the person who has never seen the show which is a little strange because I assume he is friends with Michael. Right now they are season 5. I can’t wait for the next episode.

    Good we watch podcast, needs a few improvements
    Big fan of the show. After listening to scrubs podcast, found this one: my biggest complaint is they don't give the guests enough time to speak. When you have guests on, cut the script reading stuff and take advantage of the guests insight. I'm giving Rosenbaum a bomb and a Half for his interview skills. And the rafibf system is lame; everyone Is confused...... Go with a letter grade or a 1-10..... fun guy to listen to and likeable, but needs to not interrupt others as much. They gave really good guests: and Tom and Mike have a good working relationship. So far ive stayed in listening through listening to season 3. Overall, pretty good:

    Great show
    Loved Smallville in High School. Rewatching it with this podcast. Love it, love the guys and the special guests. Keep up the great job.
  • Big Deezzy
    Talkville to the top!
    Great show and Tom and Rosie are amazing for taking their time to rewatch everyone’s favorite show!!
  • WoodyTobias
    Aqua sucked
    Aqua was one of the worst episodes. Talkville is still great though. Free Chloe!
  • Peppy_roni
    POD save America episode
    I didn’t appreciate talk ville sharing their politics with the audience. I love Tom, Rosie, and Mr Ryan; but I come to this podcast to forget about politics. I especially think that people who continually say that democracy is in danger are actually creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. This creates even more division and has alienated half their audience.
  • Jill Kat B
    So enjoyable
    Love to listen to these podcasts after watching each show. It’s cool to hear about the details of filming. I love the lighthearted banter.
  • Integrity70
    True delight
    I love that y’all decided to do these podcasts. I appreciate the transparency and the level of authenticity you bring, in addition to the interesting behind the scene experiences and personal view of each episode. I do find it fascinating learning how the industry works, the creation process and the tricks of the trade. Smallville is one of those shows that is wholesome and innocent. It’s a refreshing change from what’s on TV these days. It was a much simpler time. Love it! I only recently began binge watching Smallville again ( I stumbled across it on Hulu about a week ago, lol) then 48 hours ago, stumbled across your podcasts on YouTube. It’s all very crazy to me but I love the joy it brings, so I’ll keep watching. 🙂 So glad y’all have been able to remain so close all these years. Keep up the great work and thanks for the insights. - Shannon

  • Hannah Petry
    Love Talkville!
    As so many people have mentioned before, I grew up watching Smallville with my parents and I just love it so much, it brings back great memories. I love this podcast! I’ve been listening to it with my parents at work and we have been reminiscing and it’s just great. Thank you guys for doing the podcast ♥️
  • jmgoodman509
    Great show, with great people
    What a show! It’s always awesome to hear Tom and Micheal talk about what they remember and what they don’t, or what it was like to be on the show. Anyone who is looking for great people to listen to this is the place to be!
  • garthv8er
    Smallville and Talkville rocks
    If your a fan of Smallville then this podcast is for you. From michael’s silliness to Tom’s off screen chuckles and insight from both! This Podcast is fun to watch. Great guests and great behind the scenes commentary (when they remember). My go to ear candy to and from work! Love is. Always hold on to Smallville!!
  • Drip288
    Catching up with my past
    I watched Smallville regularly when it aired, I even recorded episodes when I was busy on those air dates. I had heard about the Podcast and saw clips on various social media sites and finally tired an episode. I heard one from the current season 4 and decided to stop listening part way through and start at the beginning. This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to when I am working around the house and my only negative is that I am caught up and have to listen as the episodes come out. Love the show!!
  • Felstef
    Keeping it honest
    It’s a rare thing for a rewatch podcast with the show actors are willing to be harsh critics of their own works. Really enjoy the trivia from the shoot of each episodes and the interviews of other cast members and the random calls to the show runners, and how they’ll bring in Patreon guests to explain why they enjoy the show.
