Fantastic episode! I'm such a fan of Angie Harmon and this gave me even more reasons to believe she's awesome.
Wow, what an incredible interview.
Been a Smallville fan since the very beginning. been refreshing to hear what's going on now with literally everything uncensored. It's just awesome!
This was amazing!
This line of questioning feels mildly inconsiderate
This is one the best if not the best podcasts about. Michael is great. His producer is a bit dull though but I think he's just a bit like that and not as annoying as some sidekicks like Conan's that ruin the whole show.
Full of surprises!
Great interview! wish it were longer though :(
This was a great episode 😎
