The Talon Mix: A Smallville Recap Podcast

Pat returns to the show to talk about a movie... he actually likes for once! The Dark Knight Rises might be the biggest and the dumbest of the bunch, but it's also some of the most fun in the franchise. This one was so big, we split it up into two episodes!

Brian & Zach forgo their traditional wiki summary... and end up with what is possibly the rambliest recap of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" on the internet. You either read a recap like a hero, or you ramble long enough to see yourself become very sleepy.

Jesse Eisemann (Cracked) returns to talk about the Batman reboot that introduced the idea of rebooting a franchise to Hollywood. We're talking Batman Begins, which is only the.......... beginning...... to a really great stretch of movies.

Willie Muse joins Brian & Zach to make the case that Batman & Robin has been a perfect movie this entire time.

Emily joins Brian & Zach to discuss what must be the horniest Jim Carrey vehicle to ever star Batman... Batman Forever!

Jeffery joins Brian & Zach to talk about Batman's first theatrical animated adventure... and probably one of the best movies in the entire series, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! Also, hey, we've got links! http://brianandzachpod.carrd.co

Bats! Cats! Nasty Little Freaks! Brian and Zach take a look at what is probably their all-time favorite Batman movie-- Batman Returns! How did a Summer blockbuster this ballsy ever get made? Will Hollywood ever make anything like it again? Another rhetorical question to throw out here to give this description some kind of end??

Batmania is in full swing as the boys return to their BATMAN movie rewatch. How does Tim Burton's original movie hold up? Can we make heads or tails of the story? How did The Joker fit that big gun down his pants? This and more! Also, hey, we've got links! http://brianandzachpod.carrd.co

We're off this week because of Brian's move! We dug this out of the vault-- Brian, Patrick, and Zach discussing DRAFT DAY on an unreleased pilot for a sports movie podcast called GAME TAPE! Batman talk will resume next week!

We intended to get BATMAN (1989) and BATMAN RETURNS (1992) recorded before Brian’s big move— but a storm swept through the East Coast and knocked out his internet connection… In a “hopefully this is better than nothing” move we hopped on the phone to talk about movies we watched in 2023. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program as soon as possible!

What do you get when you combine Adam West, Burt Ward, four supervillains, a submarine, and a shark repellent bat spray? The answer is the first ever Batman movie, released in 1966 as a spin-off of the popular TV series. We kick off a special season, taking a break from our Smallville rewatch and revisit this classic piece of Batman history. We talk about the campy and colorful style, the goofy di...

We're closing out 2023 giving out awards to the best and the worst of Season 5 of Smallville! Thank you everyone who hung out with us this year, and we're excited to bring you more perfectly acceptable podcasting content next year. http://brianzachpod.carrd.co

It's Christmas! We talk about Christmas! Also the finale of Smallville season 5 and how Talkville positively snubbed our very good phone call. http://brianzachpod.carrd.co

The boys fight through a bad internet connection while slogging to the finish line of Season 5. We have a Patreon. Sorry. http://brianzachpod.carrd.co Also please consider leaving a review on your podcasting app of choice!

Clark makes a new billionaire friend-- but uh oh, he's a freak of the week!

Okay, we know we normally rag on Smallville for doing movie knock-off episodes... But Mercy , a clear knock-off of the Saw franchise, is honestly one of the better ones of the season. We have a Patreon. Sorry. http://brianzachpod.carrd.co Also please consider leaving a review on your podcasting app of choice!

Tom Welling makes his directorial debut... and alright it's not a great episode of Smallville, but he probably has nothing to do with it. We have a Patreon. Sorry. http://brianzachpod.carrd.co

...Like, no, for real, it's like someone just walked into the writers room and said "WE'RE DOING THE 1990 JOEL SHUMACHER FILM FLATLINERS THIS WEEK" and they just... did that. They wrote it, shot it, and aired it on the CW. So, yeah, we watched it. We have a Patreon. Sorry. https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/

Brian & Zach continue their spooky Halloween tradition of watching a horror movie starring a cast member of Smallville. Compared to "The Fog" and "Lake Placid 2"-- "Urban Legend" with Michael Rosenbaum is absolute treat.

Zach & Brian find a big list of goofy ways to describe sex. Also they recap S5E16 "HYPNOTIC" Patreon, Discord, and more can be found at: https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/

Cyborg-- the robot dude from Teen Titans-- makes his (probably?) live action debut on Smallville. Brian and Zach don't have that much to say about it, predictably. Patreon, Discord, and more can be found at: https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/

Brian & Zach watch what is pretty easily the worst episode of the season-- S5E14 "TOMB." Patreon, Discord, and more can be found at: https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/

Like Clark, Brian & Zach reckon with a Johnny K-less world.

We did it. We made it to S5E12 "RECKONING" -- The 100th episode of Smallville! While we mourn the death of a major character, we celebrate that we've stuck with such a dumb project. Here's to a hundred more! Patreon, Discord, and more can be found at: https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/

Brian and Zach tackle a middling episode... And mostly talk about Lana's very desperate need for something very specific. Patreon, Discord, and more can be found at: https://brianzachpod.carrd.co/
