The Talon Mix: A Smallville Recap Podcast

Season 7 is a rough one. Central relationships in Smallville end with... whimpers, rather than bangs. We're taking a break after this one for awhile-- but check out our new show BIG MOVIE CANON! New episodes will drop on this feed for the foreseeable future, but watch us live on YouTube: http://youtube.com/brianzachbrianzach

Our heroes deal with two episodes in one to get through Season 7.

Naming this Jimmy-centric episode "Sleeper" was a little on the nose, Smallville.

Lex completes his journey from adult man who hangs out with teenagers to adult man who is a bad guy.

We're setting up the pieces for the end of Season Seven and... man, it's not very good!

All aboard the ret-con train: WOO-WOOOOOO!

Sam Jones III returns to Smallville as Pete for one last ride... where he finds some kryptonite gum at a OneRepublic concert at the Stride Gum factory. And it all goes downhill from there.

We catch up with Kara in Detroit. Clark takes a journey into the mind of Lex. Brian and Zach talk about Batman again.

A little charisma goes a long way in Season 7.

You guys remember the band Interpol? They have a song in this episode. Isn't great!

Lois is in a "Phonebooth" knock-off, kind of. Tom Welling is acting stilted... as a choice? The bad guy's plan don't make no sense.

Clark makes some season one mistakes when it comes to colored rocks from Krypton. Lana the juice goblin does her best to suck up what little juice there is. The writers have completely given up on making Kara's whole deal make any sense.

Lana is a little goblin who stomps into a scene and sucks up all the juice.

...Because seriously if Lara could just go through a portal and be at the Kent farm before Krypton inevitably blew up why wouldn't she just do that? Not to be like that guy about it, but I'm really so in the weeds on this.

A Warrior Angel movie is filming in Smallville and Clark is a dumbass in this very watchable episode.

Dean Cain guests stars as a doctor/serial killer in another... not that bad episode of season seven.

Tom Welling got a DUI this week and some people on Twitter learned that he isn't 25 anymore. Also this episode of Smallville wasn't bad considering it was pretty bad.

Brian and Zach perform an autopsy on why season seven feels so especially limp.

Season 7 comes in with more of a whimper than a bang, with a season premiere that doesn't seem too eager to bring us any new or exciting story threads... but we're still having a good time!

We wrap up Season 6 with the half-assed season awards ceremony that it deserves. Also the trailer for James Gunn's Superman movie has dropped... we watch it and give our first impressions!

The boys leave season six in the dust.

Some audio issues recording this one! Sorry! Brian & Zach wade through an episode that's mostly exposition, and get hype over the performance of a sleazy senator day-player.

Jimmy gets knocked in the head and has a dream that Smallville is a noir movie. Brian and Zach wish they could take a nap instead.

It's Halloween, which means Brian & Zach watch a horror movie starring a Smallville cast member! It's been awhile since Jensen Ackles has been on the show... but we're gonna watch him try to not get killed by a miner with a pickaxe! Also they try to divine the future with the help of ghost hunting equipment.

Sorry for the inconsistent uploads lately! It's been a busy couple of weeks, and it might be a little sporadic for a little while longer-- but we're still here and still at it! Clark and Lex are stuck underground, and it turns out this TV show works way better when two of the main characters have stories together.
