    The Talkville podcast is a must-listen for any fan of the hit TV show Smallville. Hosted by Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling, who played Lex Luthor and Clark Kent respectively, this podcast offers behind-the-scenes insights, personal anecdotes, and in-depth discussions about each episode of Smallville. With the addition of Ryan as a co-host who is watching the show for the first time, this podcast brings together a variety of perspectives that keep the content fresh and engaging.

    One of the best aspects of The Talkville podcast is getting to hear from the stars themselves. Michael and Tom share their experiences working on Smallville, offering unique insights into the production process, relationships with cast members, and memorable moments from filming. Their dynamic and friendship shine through in every episode, making it an enjoyable experience for listeners. Additionally, the guest stars that join the podcast bring additional depth to the discussions and provide a well-rounded perspective on the show.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to transport listeners back to the era when Smallville originally aired. For fans who watched the show as it aired or even those who binged it later on, The Talkville podcast offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It's like rewatching Smallville alongside old friends who share your love for the show. The hosts' passion for Smallville is contagious, and it enhances the rewatching experience for listeners.

    However, there are a few minor drawbacks to consider. Some listeners may find occasional strong language or explicit content off-putting if they prefer more family-friendly podcasts. While Michael has dialed back on his use of profanity compared to earlier episodes, there may still be moments that some listeners find inappropriate for certain settings or age groups.

    In conclusion, The Talkville podcast is an excellent companion piece for any fan of Smallville. Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling bring their charm and wit to each episode, providing a delightful balance of behind-the-scenes insights and personal stories. The addition of Ryan as the first-time watcher adds an exciting element to the podcast, and the guest stars bring even more depth to the discussions. Whether you're rewatching Smallville or experiencing it for the first time, The Talkville podcast is a must-listen for fans of the show.
