SHoE AAC: Episode 139 – #JenOnSHoE
Welcome back! It’s the first SHoE of 2010 and we’ve got some catching up to do. First off, this episode was recorded before the disastrous earthquake in Haiti and the announcement of the Telethon that will take the place of “Disciple” on 1/22. Do your part to help. Secondly, this episode is brought to you by viewers like you, literally! Steve Glosson and long time listener/friend of the show Jennifer open up the mailbag from season nine and answer some of your questions regarding Smallville, SHoE, and more. Plus details about things coming down the pipeline!
Hey Steve and Jen!
Great podcast! Great to hear from you guys. As usual, you guys crack me up. You two are a good match together. I hope to see Jen back at some point.
A few quick things….let’s start with the shallow stuff…
Tom Welling is 32 going on 33. He’s not 29. :) But Jen is right…he gets better looking with each passing year. It’s incredible. Honestly I find him so attractive that it’s sometimes distracting. I’ll be watching the show and I’ll be totally into the plot and then I’ll just start looking at Clark and I go into a daze and I’m like, “Holy Shit that man is hot.” And then I snap out of it and realize I missed 3 minutes of screentime. So Steve, don’t feel bad about your man crush. He’s awesome. But I agree with Jen that I wouldn’t be able to work with him. I’d either faint or attack him. And he’s the best Clark Kent ever.
I totally share in Jen’s sentiments about Erica as Lois. She is the best Lois Lane ever as far as I’m concerned. (Although Steve I also like Lois from the animated series. She was cool.) Erica’s Lois rocks my socks off. I find her completely adorable and I think that Clark and Lois have the cutest relationship ever on Smallville. I totally get WHY Clark is in love with her whereas in previous incarnations of Superman we never really got to see WHY. Clark just showed up and fell in love with Lois right away and we never really understand why she was the girl for him. What I love about Smallville’s version of Clark and Lois is that we get to see WHY this is the woman for him. I watch Lois and then I see the changes that she brings out in Clark and how well they play off each other…then you add in the incredible heat betwen them and I totally get it. They are so awesome together. And yes Jen…the rain scene killed me too.
Lastly, I am in TOTAL agreement about the Clark/Oliver friendship. They have a nice little bromance going. haha. I think Oliver has a real respect for Clark and I think we are really seeing that Oliver views Clark as a leader in a way that he didn’t several years ago. I’m happy to see Clark have a another man in his life. He needs some male influence.
Great podcast!! Thanks again!
Another great podcast guys. With Smallville being delayed another week, I was starting to go through withdrawal but fortunately a new SHoE podcast was released.
Jen was great. She’s a fangirl after my own heart (well minus Twilight) but so great to hear another gal geeking out over Star Wars.
I agree that Erica Durance is the best Lois Lane. For me she is my definitive Lois Lane but I also agree about Dana Delaney, Big Honkin’. Dana is my number two Lois. As with Tom, all future Superman writings will have to take Erica’s Lois into consideration because Erica and the writers have created such a rich, deeply layered, three dimensional character and anything less will be lacking.
Heee, definitely have BAG drop some hints in Tom’s ear about coming on SHoE. I mean BAG was a huge reason why Tom went to Comic Con this year, so I think he could convince Tom to come on SHoE.
I am all behind Jen is Lois campaign. Take that TWOP :P.
Again, great podcast and can’t wait for the face-off between Derek and Craig. I am on Team Derek.
I loved the podcast. You two were hilarious together. Erica is my #1 Lois as well but Dana is my #2.
Tom and Erica have redefined Clark and Lois. They ARE Clark and Lois now and every incarnation to come is going to have look at what they’ve created and take it into consideration. They are just that good. I just can’t imagine anyone else playing Clark or Lois at this point. I don’t want to SEE anyone else as Clark and Lois. Smallville has spoiled me for all time. Every time I read a Superman comic I want to picture Tom and Erica.
Jen, you have good taste in men.
Just finished listening to this episode on my Apple iPod Classic. Cracked up when Steve (in his counsel voice) said for Jenn “Tom, let Jenn apply this to your Chest” Great to hear that The Notorious B.A.G. is returning to Smallville. Loved Steve’s idea for the cliffhanger this season. Clark almost getting ready to fly and then we come back in Season Ten and we see Clark fly. Microsoft Zune and Apple iPod SHoEligans first SHoe of 2010 and it was to quote Barney Stinson “Awesome!” Jenn was great hope to hear her in another episode.
What about the episode with Derek and Craig? Wasn’t it supposed to be released in January 15th? Did I missed something?
To AbOs and for those who may have missed this news item. The reason the trivia show hasn’t been recorded is because they can’t get everyone’s schedules’ in order to actual record the episode. Hopefully soon. Your best bet is and this is going out to all SHoEligans that have Microsoft Zune/Zune HD, Apple iPod/iPhones keep updating your AAC and or MP3 Feeds on Apple iTunes and or The Zune Marketplace. Check the website and the twitter feed to see if there is any news about the trivia show.
I had a BLAST recording with Steve on SHoE. I coulda talked for 3 more hours.
Hopefully there is a season 10 cause #JenonSHoE campaign will begin again!
You are awesome Jen! I hope we hear you back on SHoE again. It’s nice to have a female perspective and I really like your enthusiasm. I’m also of the opinion that it’s good for people to disagree so I like seeing someone that’s a nice foil for Steve. And Thanks for being such a cheerleader for Clark and Lois. I’m a mythos fan first and foremost. I don’t really consider myeslf a shipper per se. But I am behind the Clark and Lois relationship on Smallville 100%. It’s an important part of the mythos. There are a few things that I consider to be essential in a Superman story: Clark saving the day and kicking ass using his powers, (check) A good villian (check) and Lois Lane. I think Erica is fantastic and I’m so excited to see where they take their relationship from this point forward.
Hope to see you back again!
(P.S. I’m going to have to agree with Steve about Friends Season 9. While it’s not the same quality as the earlier seasons, it had some funny moments in the beginning of the season when Rachel and Ross first had their baby and with Chandler moving to Tulsa AKA “the Paris of Oklahoma.” LOL.)
I have to agree with Kathleen and Steve on Friends Season Nine. Not my favorite season of Friends. But at the same time had some great episodes in there. For The Phoebe fans out there. Season Nine was her season with the whole David, Phoebe, and Mike story arc. Now you just watch Derek is going to be like “Why are SHoEligans discussing Friends on my website.” I’m calling it Steve is going to either do a Friends fans podcast or a Geek Out Loud Friends episode. Look out for that Apple iPod/iPhone and Microsoft Zune/Zune HD users.
PIVOT!!!!
Yes I want to be back on SHoE
Steve is going to hulk smash my dream
Great podcast guys. Jen was hilarious.
Erica is my favorite version of Lois Lane as well. I find her portrayl to be so complicated and three dimensional in a way that I’ve never seen before. Actually, I think that this is the most complicated version of Lois AND of Clark both individually and as a couple that we’ve ever had. The characters were well fleshed out on “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” but they weren’t as complex. Dean Cain’s Clark was an amazing guy and he did a beautiful job as Steve said of showing us what it meant to be mild-mannered: it didn’t mean weak. He showed us a likable Clark Kent that could be polite but also be the kind of man that Lois could love. But he was also fairly perfect in a lot of respects. Tom Welling’s version of Clark has had failures. We’ve seen him screw up. I feel like I root for Tom Welling’s Clark Kent in such an emotional way because we’ve watched him have so many hardships and screw ups and yet we know his heart is in the right place. Steve and Jen, I think you were right that there are going to be tears when the show ends. I know I’ll cry when I finally see Clark fly and put on the suit because I feel like he has tried so hard to reach this point and you root for him to get there. In a similar way, I felt emotional when he FINALLY woke the hell up and kissed Lois in “Crossfire” because I feel like the audience could see that Lois was the one for him and that they belonged together and you were rooting for him to have the courage to be with this woman that he clearly had feelings for.
Erica’s Lois is super complex as well. I have loved almost every version of Lois LAne. (Kate Bosworth’s was my least favorite but I still didn’t hate her.) Steve, I don’t really think that Margot’s Lois was a bitch. I think she just wasn’t as complex as Erica’s Lois. We only got to see her open up and be vulnerable with Superman and let’s face it….it’s much more interesting to see her open up and be vulnerable with Clark Kent. I really liked Teri Hatcher’s Lois BUT there were times when she was almost overly vulnerable. I also didn’t like the way she swooned over Superman for so long while being so cruel to Clark. That just seems too Silver Age at this point. On Smallville, Clark and Lois’ initial annoyance with each other makes sense. They both saw each other as a threat and reacted accordingly but pretending they didn’t like each other. But I liked that on Smallville we saw Lois waking up to her feelings for Clark as opposed to swooning over a caped superhero and then dismissing him. But Erica’s Lois is absolutely the most complex and interesting version of Lois Land ever and that’s why she’s my favorite and it’s also why this version of Clark and Lois as a couple is my fave.
Jen sounds so hot shes funny she seems like a cool woman. i liked the podcast great job guys.
i so dissagree with you about Kara if she was just brought in for another pretty face well in that reguard Ollie has served his perpose as well. i think AL and Miles were gonna have Clark and Kara become superman and supergirl together kill to birds with one stone. i blame Darren and Todd for loseing interest in Kara in season 7 i hope Kelly and Brian bring Kara back someday.
if you find jen or steve on facebook or twitter don”t bother asking to be there friends. i asked nicely and i get shafted i guess there to good for there fans. oh well whatever i guess. i still like there work though even if i don”t agree with evreything they say. jen and steve do have good chemistry together i admit they work well together. i think jen should be the other co host or at least a recuring one she has a good voice for radio podcast.
Great podcast Steve and Jen. You know who Jen sounds like a little bit? Allison Scagliotti! Steve, I just bought a Blu-Ray player and got all geekwood and was wondering what specific DVDs you were talking about that you have on Blu-Ray that you thought were better than the DVD copy? I’m eager to expand my Blu-Ray collection. Right now, all I have is the recent Family Guy: Something, Something, Something…Darkside, The Hangover, Stargate and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
