Hereafter
Join Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as they revisit the ‘Butterfly Effect’ meets ‘Final Destination’ meets Smallville episode in Season 3 Episode 12: HEREAFTER! After Michael gets over some of the hair and makeup decision in this episode he reflects on the amount of Lana’s friends who end up dying and what he wishes Clark did when Jonathan Kent collapsed in the barn. Tom remembers how dangerous the dynamite-laced house was, the pressure of keeping the WB appearances up, and how he prepared for his emotional scene at the end. One of those weeks where the pod is better than the episode? Hope you dig it.Thank you to our sponsors:❤️ Betterhelp: https://betterhelp.com/talkville🥬 AG1: https://drinkag1.com/talkville🛡️ Policygenius: https://policygenius.com__________________________________________________💖 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talkville☎️ Hotline: (213) 538-2883👕 New Merch: https://shop.talkvillepodcast.com__________________________________________________Watch or listen to more episodes!📺 https://talkvillepodcast.com/show__________________________________________________Follow us online!📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkvillepodcast/🤣 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetalkvillepodcast📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talkvillepodcast🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/talkvillepod🌐 Website: https://www.talkvillepodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Delete
Join Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as they unwillingly prevent this episode from being deleted from their memory banks by revisiting Smallville Season 3 Episode 11: DELETE! The guys dish back-to-back poor ratings as they talk about this Matrix-laced episode that served as a cautionary tale against SPAM emails. Tom finds a familiar friend in the background of a scene and gets a kick out of the excitement of internet terminology in the early 2000’s. Michael lets it fly with opinions for Adele and The Matrix while calling out a certain easter egg hidden on the set.Thank you to our sponsors:⚕️ Zocdoc: https://www.zocdoc.com/talkville🤝 Indeed: https://indeed.com/talk__________________________________________________💖 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/talkville☎️ Hotline: (213) 538-2883👕 New Merch: https://shop.talkvillepodcast.com__________________________________________________Watch or listen to more episodes!📺 https://talkvillepodcast.com/show__________________________________________________Follow us online!📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkvillepodcast/🤣 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetalkvillepodcast📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talkvillepodcast🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/talkvillepod🌐 Website: https://www.talkvillepodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
