SMALLVILLE Clark & Lex Panel - Awesome Con 2024

[@ShawnS14]

Tom is massive. I’m 6’3 210 and I saw him at a con, I was like holy shit he’s huge.

[@Ryu_Shotokan]

Yeah I have a pic with him and my wife, Michael,Laura,and Tom,he's a big dude lol he's definitely heavier than 210 though,I'm 200 pounds and he makes me look small.

[@ShawnS14]

Ya he's probly like 240 lol. In the cameo he did for the crisis on infinite earths, you see him around all the newer actors he makes them all look tiny@@Ryu_Shotokan

[@louisekolteski1780]

I’m not tall but I’m also not short, average. Meeting him in New Jersey, He made me feel so tiny! He really is a gentle giant!

[@radicalreactions1633]

That's because they are tiny compared to him.@@ShawnS14

[@ShawnS14]

@@radicalreactions1633 thank you for that clarification. What would I have done without you.

Michael is hilarious. He kept the conversation flowing smoothly.

Rosenbaum really SANKED his teeth into the Lex character.

[@johncortez2009]

It's funny cause Tom still seems like He's Clark Kent cause he's so humble LOL

[@kadosho02]

Tom & Michael are amazing. Their journey and adventures then, and now are fun to listen to. To see them at a q&a panel, they are in the zone having a ball. Thanks for this

[@nickhydier1201]

Always love seeing these Super guys together! What Truly amazing, kind, humble, generous, friendly, warm and above all loving guys they are. Have felt so blessed myself to have come to know them. Love hearing about them talk about their fond memories of Smallville and overall hear the love they have for it. Thanks so much for posting this one.😀😀❤❤🙏🙏

[@martina.bartoli_91]

I absoluterly love this two!!! Tom is so freaking handsome and funny! Micheal is always over the top😅❤

[@dan_hitchman007]

They've said in the past that Michael kind of purposely draws the crowd's attention to himself at certain moments, because some of the other cast members are not quite as comfortable chatting in front of an audience. Tom has gotten the hang of it over the years, however.

[@rowenapascual1316]

I went to that panel & it was so much fun!!! Thanks for sharing!!❤❤❤

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Theses 2 are great together in conversation, I watch Talkville all the time now. Great guests and reviews on old episodes.

[@FatimaTomsEnough]

[@SkipRockhill]

Rose & Tom are always great ! excellent!

[@moviesquad73]

If memory serves me correct, your first panel video was a Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum panel at Awesomecon, so its nice to see it all come full circle!

[@FandomSpotlite]

Yes, indeed. It was the first panel we recorded and the only one from that Awesome Con. And its success convinced us to do more.

[@SpideyScott72]

I'd like to hear where they are in the animated version of Smallville in terms of production

[@alyce831]

Nowhere. Michael just said in an interview that came out March 19 of this year that they still want to pitch when time is right apparently. If it happens I’ll be shocked. Said the date that way since answering a post done 6 days ago.

[@missydee9342]

I love these guys to death-they are the greatest! But I have to say, someone’s gotta tell Michael the line is “kneel before Zod.” 😂

[@Mariannacruz444]

Wow Tom

[@gigigmd]

Cool! Michael satisfied a curiosity of mine. The interview videos don't show sign language interpreters, I wondered if it was because it wouldn't make sense to broadcast to other countries that don't use American Sign Language or because there was no interpretation there!

[@kadosho02]

Diarrhea. Diarrhea But seriously they are amazing

[@gigigmd]

Amazing and inclusive! 🥰

[@DynamicMateTV]

Loved this!

[@MikeSchmidt969]

I'm as much of a child as Michael. When he kept saying "diarrhea" just to see the ASL interpreter have to sign it, I was rolling. And I'm 5 years older than Michael who's 50.

[@CrAZychicke]

I hope they come to Australia someday.... they are hilarious! I grew up with SV and binged the seasons over & over. Loved Tom since Cheaper by the Dozen & Michael is the best Lex Luthor. He was so funny in Sorority Boys too.

[@latifahraleb2137]

Can we see Tom without a hat! He has nice hair! 😂

[@haidarhakimable]

Give them a new comedy show 👏

[@hardikgurung6027]

GOATS

[@ladylestrange]

They should watch the Crisis event to comment on that Smallville scene, it would be interesting hahaha

[@September_Rains]

I remember watching this show as it aired on television and couldn’t wait for next week to watch the next episode. People nowadays can binge watch all the episodes at once so the characters’ flaws are magnified. Clark, Lex, and Lana were the reasons the show became so popular. I was told out of all the main cast, Kristin was the most searched online, even more than Tom Welling. She was in all the teen magazines.

[@September_Rains]

Clark, Lex and Lana made the show.

[@gigigmd]

18:20 I'm a little afraid of this part of the podcast schedule! 😂😂In any case, any topic between these two is fun!

[@johnnystorm3747]

Michael Rosenbaum needs to be cast in the re-imagined Superman as Lex again... he is Lex Luthor!!!!

[@yukikid2195]

James Gunn said he’s the best lex on inside of you! And it’s true! But I’m really looking forward to seeing Nicolas holt in the role!

[@dan_hitchman007]

Rosey said that Gene Hackman wrote in an autograph that his Smallville Lex was the second best Lex Luthor as a joke.

[@CinemaSimpleton]

Lol, Rosey‘s personality is everything I want to be. Can confirm also, he’s as awesome to meet in person! He loves his fans!

[@danzwku]

28:16 surprised they didn't mention that that was Michael's "switch" episode, like Tom did with Lionel Luthor. Transference

[@Stuart267]

Wish they'd do the Metropolis sequel they talked about back in the day. I'd even take an animated show at this point.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

Regarding the suggestion of doing the Smallville comics for the podcast, I think it would be interesting if they started doing reviews on other CW DC shows like Arror and Flash--or if they want to stay in Superman territory do rewatches of other Superman related shows like "Lois and Clark" or "Superman and Lois". Obviously they would need to book actors from those shows for insider commentary.

[@Carla_FT]

Why? That's not the point at all of the podcast

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

@@Carla_FT Eventually they are going to run out of episodes, so if they want the podcast to keep going without changing the format too much they are going to need to find possibly other things to talk about that may be Smallville/DC related. Like how the "Delta Flyers" podcast was about looking back at episodes of Voyager but once they ran out of episodes they moved on to DS9 with cast members from that show.

[@simonsuperstar]

I still don't know who Ryan is on Talkville

[@pskarnaq73]

So funny. There is a guy named Michael in my group of friends who also just dips out of gatherings when he's had enough.... We'll all be partying and having fun, then someone will say, "Where's Mike?" Oh... guess he had enough 😂😂😂

[@spillwithsarah9387]

So what was and who was the last scene of the day for the ending of smallville?

[@joeblow1748]

10:20 its almpust like its like smalville in real life. Tom is living on a beutifull farm and lex is looking in jealus of what he have. 😂

[@latifahraleb2137]

For the birthday i will leave but with a piece of cake 😂😂

[@TheDiogof]

I think all this hate towards Lana is disproportionate and makes me sad. I love the main trio of Clark, Lana, and Lex and think they were essential to the success of the show. Lana was judged unfairly for Clark's mistakes, but people never tried to see things from her point of view.

[@September_Rains]

I agree. The hate for Lana is crazy. The Lana haters are just louder on forums than Lana fans. It doesn’t mean there are more of them.

[@Carla_FT]

8:51 😂😂

[@scarlettyskies]

is it possible to post the bryce papenbrook panel?

[@ryandeffley7652]

I'll be honest, Talkville has been kind of a letdown. It was originally marketed as a "behind the scenes tell all." But neither Tom/Mike seem to "recall" much. 😂 1) They spend most of each pod doing episode recaps. As fans, we've obviously seen all the eps and know the plots. 2) When Tom/Mike try to give insight about their time on the show, it's mostly guessing and speculation since neither of them remember much from filming. 3) Sadly, they make fun of the show a ton like it's a Smallville version of Mystery Science Theater: 3000. It honestly sucks that they don't take it more seriously with respect. 4) Originally, they said that all fans could call in to ask questions. But it very quickly became a Patreon only privilege. So it's pretty much the same people asking questions every podcast.

[@Chinachik]

Dude, tbf, it’s been 20+ yrs since they filmed those early seasons. I doubt most people can recall exactly what they were doing at work everyday two decades ago. 😂 I get what you mean about how the podcast has evolved though. I think it eventually became what it did because they assumed they’d remember more bts stuff, but realized how it took rewatching the eps to actually ignite some memories that fans would be interested to hear about.

[@ryandeffley7652]

@Chinachik - With Tom especially, the show was his entire life for 10yrs. Also, looking back 20yrs isn't that difficult with a regular memory. 😆

[@ben8447]

@@ryandeffley7652 I agree with you. I have stopped watching it now. Used to annoy me how they would talk through the episode and talk about key scenes and break it all down and then...have some poor Patron member who has paid a ridiculous amount of money to have the honor of asking a question and what happens? Michael says "yeah, we already talked about that, and then Tom, who is the more mindful of the two, will give a bit of a courtesy answer, but in the end, the fan gets short changed. And Michael is obviously a hugely immature man child, who is all over the spectrum and basically lives in his own little world. You can see it in this interview. " diarrhoea!" He's a tool

[@Chinachik]

@@ryandeffley7652 But remembering more than a few vague points here and there is a bit more complicated than just recalling some random regular memories about being on set, especially when you’re referring to working on a series with as many episodes as Smallville, particularly with an ensemble cast, various directors and so many scenes filmed out of sequence. Besides, I like the podcast as it is now. Especially when they go down memory lane with costars and guest stars. I think that’s a very cool format. It’s sort of like what Kim Coates and Theo Rossi do for Sons of Anarchy.

[@SneedEmFeedEm292]

rosenbaum has a chip on his shoulder that he never made it big. hes always being passive aggressive that he should have played bigger roles. think from that complex he just views the teen/kitschy episodes of smallville with disdain.

[@Mariannacruz444]

😊

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Smallville was so well written and produced (at least the majority of episodes), the characters were well written. I liked it better than most of the CW shows that followed. Supergirl show was good the first 2 seasons and early seasons of Flash and Green Arrow, but I always felt Smallville in general had better stories in general and well written characters and casting.

[@jeffh06]

Despite of Clark and lex’s friendship lasted seasons 1-3, discovered in the obsession room which Lionel gave the key as of to tear apart they have😑, rebounded in devoted, 404-S5-1-2 came too a close sadly💔 after Lex asking last time of tell him about who he really is if he’s actually a friend, Clark still wouldn’t share it in distrust and 2nd let criminals out for by testing out his skill when found out once again behind it😑🤦🏻 (which doesn’t have his powers anymore 2nd time) with punching in the last straw, but not the end of not showing up as rival allies, and when Lana affection for lex became a another dc soap opera challenge😂 but in off set truly best pals❤️👍

[@MichaelIsTheBestLex]

LOL at Tom laughing along with the fan at Lana being a terrible character, I remember Tom also said she was terribly written at the Van Con. Michael's being diplomatic but on the podcast he doesn't like her so far but I think he will in S6 bc Kristin has great chemistry with Michael and finally gets something interesting to do. Great panel gents!

[@September_Rains]

Blame the writing.

[@1991-r2n]

Enough with the Lana hate people

[@lragdy]

Couldn’t agree more : there’s actually a lot of people who like that character ! Without Lana, the show’s dynamic would have been completely different … and maybe smallville would not have been as successful especially at the beginning without this Lex Lana Clark trio … Let’s not forget that her character evolved so much especially in season 6 when she becomes a darker character

[@jetia7100]

@@lragdy Exactly. There's a reason why Kristin's episode of Talkville outside of the pilot is still the most watched. There's been a lot of revisionist history but Lana was always a popular character, especially during the first few seasons. The negativity that now gets directed at Lana actually seems like misplaced anger and people taking out their frustrations regarding other things onto her. It's a shame because Lana had one of the most interesting story arcs in Smallville and positively contributed a lot to the series.

[@radicalreactions1633]

Not really, since her leaving FINALLY didn't affect ratings. They brought her back TOO many times, get over it. It would've been a BETTER dynamic without the CONSTANT childish crush shit.@@lragdy

[@FuzzyDlop]

Nope it wouldn't have, it worked well the way it did. She was a great part of the story and from season 3 and 4 her storylines got better and better. "Childish crush shit". You meant to say childhood, not childish, which wouldn't make sense. These were teenage characters. Wake up.@@radicalreactions1633

32:16 lol correct about Clark’s partly fault for lex becoming a villain when not sharing👍, tom mentions by the end of season 3 the obsessions Clark Kent museum room not only pictures, has the bridge accident computer playback, kryptonian symbols and kryptonite off course, when did stopped investigating which did but Lionel and his members got him too change his mind, and Clark just scolds when pissed over lex lied in day one out of a hypocrite to cover his ass multiple times in more lies than lex’s😏😂

[@radicalreactions1633]

No it's not. Stop being such a Lex-loser. He never stopped investigating Clark, if he did he wouldn't have bothered with the two keys. You're living in delululand, next time try sentences.

Michael looks creepy with his no socks. He also loves talking about poo. He's an old 50 year old man child.

[@RedouaneRedou]

🫢😶

[@CodenameFanboy]

My theory is that Lex turned evil because after getting knocked out all those times he suffered brain damage to the part of the brain that involves compassion.

[@radicalreactions1633]

Like he ever had any.

[@jeffh06]

29:10 sure Tom about red k kal makes him careless without worries about consequences but, so is without the safety precautiion by saying hurtful things ether in ether which reasons to that cares about ( only not well with Chloe who just pisses him off angry in a after telling her he is off limits and warns he will go far away and tells her to get out in a scream loll!🤣lol)which taking love interest friend to a bar to grab a beer without regret in thinking when makes him into great big jerk in sensitive rebelling😂🙂‍↔️ and when red k ether takes off or destroyed Clark back too normal does, actions burden too sink in and can’t actually make up, only can do is move on

[@jasonmcconomy4911]

ugh....Tom just seems kinda like a dick at times. ' have never read a comicbook. and i just left after the last day. " Really comes off as ungratefull at times. Michael left and was screwed by till seems more gratful for his experience.

[@brentwebster6341]

He was being that towards the end with the girl struggling to get to her point and Tom doing the falling asleep “bit”. That was pretty dickish.
