Show notes

This week Zach is joined by Chris Clow from The Comic Binge and Anthony Desiato from Digging for Kryptonite to discuss the one hundred forty second episode of Smallville, "Persona." They talk Brainiac's reemergence, the characterization of Bizarro, his relationship with Lana, Marc McClure's return to the world of Superman, and much more! The latest Always Hold On To Smallville might just be a voice, but we won't lecture you to death!
