Hello and welcome to Smallvillains, a Smallville fancast. Your hosts Philip Lopez and Jacob Norwood go through each episode and talk about what they liked, what they didn't, and how each episode holds up today. THEN we rank each episode against each other!
Smallvillains: A Smallville Fancast
Whitney is back! OR IS HE?!? He's not, it's a shapeshifter. Tina returns in this episode and we talk about unfortunate stereotypes, Smallville characters acting rationally, Smallville characters acting IRrationally, and The Troops.
We finally get to the caves! What do they mean? Are they exciting? Does Clark meet the love of his life? How do flare guns work? All these questions and more are answered in this episode!
Jonathan Taylor Thomas? In Smallville??? It's true. He's here and he's ready to be a real jerk. We celebrate our thirtieth episode talking about a solid freak of the week episode and we're glad to have it!
This episode was a little wild to record so things get a little silly near the end, but we have a good discussion about a somewhat middling episode. Our "friend" Ryan is back and things get sad for Clark.
Are Clark and Lex...brothers?!? This stunning question is a focal point in this episode about family and choosing where you belong. We thought it was okay.
Is this...ANOTHER episode about old people turning young? I guess so. This episode is a little weird. We get loopy, the episode is bad, just...come on this journey with us.
This week Smallville briefly turns into a Very Special Episode as the gang meets a new friend who may be more than the quiet poet he seems...Also Jacob describes the plot of Awake for like five minutes.
This episode took us so long to record and we still had problems. So heads up this one has a few issues. Clark goes bad??? There's a new girl in town? Everyone forgets they live in Smallville? All this and more in a brand new episode of Smallvillains. Now with extra tangents!
Despite the best efforts of life and FaceTime, we're back with a new episode. This is a big one. Secrets get learned, relationships strained, at least two characters die???
Things get a little weird this episode. We're talking about what may be the "sexiest" episode of the series so far and definitely the sweatiest. We discuss heat vision, appropriate teacher fashion, and say "horny" and "sweaty" WAY too many times. Here it is, everyone, the first edition of Smallvillains: After Dark.
We made it to season two! We discuss spaceships, buff toddlers, and Jonathan Kent's 8 foot vertical leap!
We made it to the season one finale and WOW does a lot happen this episode! We break it down, talk about the season as a whole, and, of course, go off on a few tangents.
This is a big episode. It's the penultimate episode of season 1. A LOT of things happen to set up the finale and season 2. Listen in and see where it takes us.
This episode surprises us. It's another generic freak of the week episode, but everything runs on all cylinders. Do we talk about how great Lex is? You bet we do.
This we we talk about bees, high school, if Lex is turning bad too fast, and a surprising amount about Sia.
This episode we go pretty in depth into three character's relationships with their fathers. We discuss if an episode can be good if the main villain is not much of a character. And we briefly discuss the situation with Allison Mack.
We're back! Was our delay because we knew this episode was boring and we were avoiding it or was it just so we could stay exactly 16 years ahead of the show's release? YOU decide! In this episode Martha finds a young boy with psychic abilities and if he could read OUR minds, he'd find how boring we found his story.
We try to keep it short and focused this week. Very few tangents. We talk about bad driving, deep dark desires, "sexy Lana," and *gasp* we don't take Lex's side!
We find out more about Lex's past in this divisive episode. Which of us likes it and which doesn't? How much of the episode do we actually spend talking about Smallville? Not as much as we'd probably like. We DO talk about rich people music, Mike Wallace, the deaths of Ayn Rand and Salvador Dali, bomb safety procedure, peas, and more!
We don't really love this episode where Whitney falls in with the wrong crowd so we go off on a few tangents. It's fun and we get around to making good observations about the episode. Philip does a Jimmy Stewart impression.
In this special bonus episode, your hosts officially rank the episodes they've watched so far!
In what might be our longest and best episode yet, we discuss what might be our favorite episode to date. What happens when Clark loses his powers? It turns out, it allows for the most interesting character moments we've seen so far. Lex continues to be great and, unsurprisingly, we take his side at several points. Also featuring lots of tangents about twins, the DCEU, and more!
We're officially halfway through season one! In this episode we talk about shipping wars, dental care, the logistics of mind control, and, of course, Clark and Lex's relationship.
This episode we discuss invisibility, tulips, and whether skeletons or the flesh surrounding them are scarier.
For another episode of Smallville that neither host really liked, we try to get through it and figure out why. When a dirty police officer sees Clark stop a bus, he uses this knowledge to try and blackmail him.
We don't let literally a half dozen tech issues keep us from bringing our listeners quality content. Earl Jenkins is plagued by inhuman shakes and the only thing that can save him is whatever LuthorCorp was using on the mysterious Level 3. Can Clark help him find it?
Did you remember that Amy Adams was on this show? It's also one of the best ones so far with one of the most interesting Freaks yet.
We finally get to to the episode that truly proves the Smallville writers have NO IDEA how electricity works
In this episode we have a bit of an existential crisis about the podcast and mostly don't talk about the episode. We have some good discussion about the big picture things in Smallville though!
In this episode Clark gets a new power, Lizzy Caplan is a identity thief and, um, Clark is kind of a creeper. We were having some recording issues this week. I tried to fix the audio best I could, but apologies if some parts aren't great.
In episode 3 we discuss Hothead and talk about the cost of a private sauna, fencing safety, and make a LOT of puns.
We talk about season one's story structure, people changing, and sing way, WAY too much.
Your hosts Jacob and Philip are BACK with a brand new show! It's still about television, but more specifically it's about one television show! The seminal classic Superman origin story SMALLVILLE!
