Before i start i want to say that i love both of these guys ,they been part of my life for like 25 years , its not personal at all but look I don’t watch Talkville religiously. One of the main reasons is that Michael’s constant shitting on the show sometimes takes me out of it.

I do love how Tom always champions Smallville and defends it though.I only check out the episodes that cover the Smallville episodes I actually like or want to dig into more. I’m currently doing a rewatch and just finished “Injustice” (S08E21). Since Tom directed it, I decided to put on the Talkville for it.

I hadn’t watched the podcast in maybe 8 months to a year. To my surprise, the episode felt really short and half-assed. It opens with like two minutes of Michael pushing the Patreon. Then they just speed-run the entire episode: Michael and Ryan basically read the synopsis, do one or two funny voices, and that’s it for about 10-15 minutes. You can tell Michael was second-screening the whole time because he kept asking Ryan about basic plot points.Then there’s a commercial break. When they come back, Tom starts talking about something and Michael is on his phone lol and immediately goes “yeah yeah you’re right, anyway let’s…” and doesn’t even let him finish. It honestly feels like they’re late for dinner or just want to wrap up as fast as possible. After that it’s hotline calls, and the whole thing just feels rushed

you learn basically nothing new. And when the actual content ends, there are still like seven more minutes of pre-recorded commercials. Like… what are they even doing at this point? It kinda pissed me off, ngl. I know I sound a bit dramatic over a podcast episode, but I just needed to share my thoughts.
