Lois: "OK, Supes! What does the "S" REALLY stand for?!" Superman(hesitates at first) "Well, it's really something in Kryptonian so foul, so obscene, that I dare not even say it!!!" Lois: "Kinky!!!"

You know. That doesn't sound too out of place from the product placement that's already in Man of Steel.

Wouldn't it stand for Stride gum? Spearmint is just a single flavor of gum not specific to any brand. It doesn't make a lot of sense to say you've got a spearmint gum that has many flavors.

@@nephatrine I meant to say Stride. I was gonna fix it, but I didn't want to loose the Allison like.

Millhouse: "WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO LEAVE THE STRIDE GUM FACTORY?!?"

Well played, clerks.

Booooooo! Hissssssss!! =P

God dammit. Take your like and leave.

He'd bitten off more than he could chew.

@@pentelegomenon1175 He had lots of gumption, though

“You gonna wash your hands?” “No... ‘cause I’m evil.”

One of my favorite lines in anything DC ever! Lol

@Knock Out and then he voiced Red Death and elevated things to another level yet beyond that

It is hilarious that he voiced both the Flash and Lex in different shows.

@@LaNoLaCola Best line of JLU :)

Its a good tag. The tag of fridge logic & healthy communication.

Yeah, that one is right up there with the under-rated and slightly more rare tag: Arrowverse characters respect each others personal boundaries (especially in regards to secrets), unless they sincerely believe the other is in imminent danger.

​@@keigoftw Is there an Arrow tag for "Oliver actually learns from his mistakes"?

@@HiperPivociarz No but in looking I found out "Gaang learns how Zuko got his scar" is a legit tag, and I love this new knowledge so much. Peggy sues (time travel fics) are always good for character corrects mistakes with what they have learned, which is pretty close. As for Arrow, jesus christ thank god for fanfiction. cause in canon the cast just takes turns being too much a hot mess to tolerate half the time. Let us remember the good times, and bury the shipping hatchet *in the ground* (not each other).

@@keigoftw I like fanfics because they can give me the Kara-Lena relationship the CW queerbaited us with for several years

Just because you have a Baldy son doesn't mean you can't have a mane of hair That's FABULOUS!!!

Explains why Lex hated him so much. Guess for all his genius he never heard of wigs.

@@SwiftNimblefoot The Gene Hackman version did.

I thought Lex’s dad was so freaking hot. I was like, “I’d hit that, yeah, I’d hit it 6ways from Sunday...but um, shhhhhh...”. But I have always had a thing for hot older men.

That was the reason, yes.

I'd watch it

@@DaMaddness Same. Ohgod...

so what is the patreon goal for that. I would be in.

You have my vote.

All these cw shows I had the good fortune to miss because I was an overly busy middle/highschooler at the time. So blessed to experience them now via Allison's joy and Phelan's abject disgust.

The Simpsons had a similar effect too, with various jingles that didn’t exist here

That's some self-awareness I never knew was possible for the writers of Smallville...

So basically a Proto-Arrow?

like nowadays people don’t consider pretty as a character trait. we descend from a long line of heurny teenagers leave us be lmao

that's still the CW now, have you seen riverdale

omg that would be amazing!

Hell yeah! Put it on Patreon

217 episodes versus Charmed's 178, not counting the reboot, which has about 41 at the moment

YESSSS

same. I never watched Smallville but 100% remember all 10 years of ads for it on E4

There apparently was a Kent family dog named Shelby in the comics

Everything in Smallville is so forgettable I wouldn't blame anyone for not remembering every little detail like some nerd.

@@poposterous236 i would rather take forgettable than having “it will, when it fits a woman” imprinted in the brain whenever people bring up a certain shitty show

Impossible because in the desperate attempt to fill the showtime for ten seasons they went through everything even remotely related to superman they could. It got so bad that because they didn't have the rights to Batman, they made a pass at getting the Green Arrow taken seriously. We owe much to their desperation, we owe them shows that are honestly better when they lean on the super hero and not the soap opera. Because who doesn't love Ollies lone wolf trust issues fricking things up *again*, or Barry's daily pep talks, or Legends making historians WEEP, am I right? We need more emotionally healthy super heroes, or at least ones that learn a lesson after the hundredth time.

@@keigoftw The weird thing is, there IS actually a shit load of material for Clark's early days from comics, like hundreds of Superboy and Legion of Superheroes (where he was a supporting character) alone and for the most part the show just... Never touched them (until it started to get desperate). The fact that Supergirl in this universe debuted in this universe him becaue Clark was just THAT much of a jack-off with becoming Superman is hilarious.

You should see the comment sections of Rosenbaum and Welling’s new podcast “TalkVille” then

the national gum of atlantis

It's ocean fresh! A tsunami of flavor! A salty explosion in your mouth! wait....

eh, I we start nitpicking the effects superpower should have on clothes that would be opening up a huge can of worms and not just in this show. Clark should probably be going through new pair of shoes every week.

@@cameronstone4495 I vaguely remember some official handwavy explanation for why Clark's clothes aren't damaged as often as they should be. Something about him having an impervious aura that extends like a couple millimeters above his skin. So as long as he's wearing something skin-tight then it's fine. Like how Animorphs can morph skin tight clothes I guess.

@@sanityisrelative What like tactile telekinesis?

@@cameronstone4495 according to the first result I get from googling "superman clothes aura" it's a bio-electric aura I guess. I have the vaguest memory of learning this from an episode of Lois and Clark.

@@sanityisrelative It was an innovation of John Byrne's during his reboot of Superman. JB loves explaining how powers work.

I'm sure smallville was better than charmed. At least final love interests were great.

I hope you do the Aquaman pilot someday. Maybe as a crossover with Lewis? Wait, Sex cult? WHAT? Stride vs A&W: DAWN OF JUSTICE Oh my god, Lex lives in Wood Panel Castle! This plot makes less sense every minute. And this is pretty typical for the show.

I’d call it “The Original Supernatural” myself

*Supernatural kicks the ground sadly*

I'm on a supernatural binge and yeah it's surprising how similar each brother went and got trapped in hell and then have this long argument about why didn't they try to help each other.

@@Zxzero36 I think it just stems from the fact they write the scripts as they go along, and probably don't have a lot of time to write them, so a lot of the time, the characters have to act in favor of the plot, instead of acting like a real person would, and then the writers have to think of some contrived reason for the character to be doing what they doing.

@@HiperPivociarz this, and ever since they got Joss Whedon to do two extra seasons of Buffy after he wanted to end the story, it seems the CW formula is to monster-of-the-week into Infinity and hold actors in contract for decades. At a certain point, like after 5 seasons or there about, you just have to completely arrest character and plot development to continue a series

It's why I stopped watching them. But yeah, Smallville was like the mold they used to make all those new shows...

@@Zxzero36 I was genuinely surprised when I got to season 11 and they actually like talk to each other like functional adults and it's not just man-angst for the sake of it.

His Home Planet needed him.

Just like in the dance scene from the Fantastic Four sequel.

An excellent song!

hell yes!!

I thought it did. Huh, last night I had the strangest dream...

John Glover is always great, period.

John Glover was too good for this show.

They were never ahead.

ha true

@@AllisonPregler Stride Gum is so strong that loops back around to not effecting Clark.

Remember that episode where there was a necklace in the wall of Chloe's bathroom and only after punching through the wall did Clark start feeling the effects despite the fact he xrayed the wall which means that he should've felt it since the wall wasn't led. Or the pilot episode where Whitney wears Lana's necklace but only after tearing open his shirt does Clark feel it. It's so inconsistent.

Omggggg

Whaaaaaat???

Danny later became an entire universe. Danny had a great run.

big fan of danny the street

THAT explains why IMDBing this guy who looks so familiar pulled up nothing I'd ever seen before. Thanks!

Kryptonite gave Lex cancer in the comics as well, but in the decades prior to that, it was only thought to be harmful to Kryptonians. The stuff clearly works differently on this show.

Now it’s radioactive. That can’t be good!

It gave people super powers. It was like smallville's version of Inhumans in a way. get infested with alien stuff and gain powers. some went evil, some went evil and crazy... only a handful actually remained alive by the end of the show. some locked away in places lik belle reave and others ran off.

​@@Mike0908 I will say that it was a pretty nifty plot device for giving Clark adversaries to fight against, even though stuff like Kryptonite-infused Stride gum was beyond ridiculous. Interestingly, the way Kryptonite is depicted on Smallville is not dissimilar to an unpublished script Jerry Siegel wrote called "The K-Metal from Krypton," three years before Kryptonite was actually introduced on the Superman radio show.

It's usually a freak accident or exposure in some way that would probably be less dangerous, though yeah, realistically, if you asked someone with expertise in radioactive exposure and negative side effects, many of them would be questionable in whether someone wouldn't already have lymphoma or such

"You are what you eat" after all.

Now Pete shall go find the One Piece!

YES! THANK YOU! I was seriously debating making that reference myself, but 4Kids One Piece is a double-edged sword of "personal fan suffering" and "so bad it's hilarious".

@@mastermarkus5307 at least with 4Kids, they were introducing viewers to anime without pissing off parents with the content of guns, violence

@@jaredsamples6969 Eeeeh, I'm going to say no on this one because 4Kids dumbed down One Piece like it was for 6 year olds when the target audience is at least around 12, and ultimately made a lot of people in North America (including the original pre-teen to teen target audience) think One Piece was bad because it was "like a little kid's show" when really they were missing out on a series that was originally written a lot better. Anime for, or at least more appropriate for, small children and without guns already exists; changing a series into something it wasn't was not the way to go. 4Kids just dug themselves into a hole because all they really knew about One Piece when buying the licensing rights was 1. It was really popular and 2. It had a cartoony art style (so it must be goofy and for children, right?).

did you just call me a hoe !?

Oh man, I used to love Eureka. I totally forgot about that episode.

Ever see the movie "Evolution"? Head & Shoulders shampoo was the aliens' weakness.

​@@NucularRobit At least in Evolution they did make a joke out of the obvious product placement.

stride power!

@@AllisonPregler ah yes the greatest power of all.

Superhero physics

Human clothes and superhero powers rarely make sense

The Stride molecules got embedded into the clothing.

Thanks so much!!

Like... suddenly stretching or enlarged? How often do you see that!?

thank you!

OH GOD! I... I can't stop laughing, and I'm almost on the floor now. This show is so stupid! It's hilarious!

thanks so much!

@@AllisonPregler thanks for the reply. i also like your quantum leap podcast i used to watch that on tv live in the late 1980s/ early 1990s. so i'm abit older. are you still going to have some other net hosts on again? i like seeing them too, like linkara, film brain, marzgurl, etc. i know things are hard with the virus, but maybe on camera not in person. i am pretty new to all this, but am trying to set up events with other net hosts, here in illinois some movie theaters are even changing their whole format and other places were we are planning films and art and music events. good luck with everything.

I remember Allison saying that she was done with full season breakdowns after Charmed. She said that was exhausting.

Black Ninja we found it, we found the fan Allison !

Love allison's voice for chloe. Similar to Neely's voice or mitch's voice
