Latest Episodes:

Episode 91 - 5x03 Hidden Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the ninety first episode of Smallville, "Hidden." They talk arguably the coolest save of the entire series, Clana at its best, how college undercuts all the preparation for real life that grade school does for you, and struggle to remember how many main characters have died so far! Don't let the latest Always Hold On To Smallville stay hidden in your podcast feed!

Superman Special #12 - Superman II Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

It's our twelfth Superman Special! Zach is joined by John W. Mills from The Nerd Party to discuss Superman II! We talk our mutual love for Superman: The Movie in all its various forms, its controversial ending, Superman II's complicated history, and ultimately for the bulk of the conversation The Lester Cut vs. The Donner Cut! There's so much to unpack with this movie, much like Superman II itself we might have to come back and "finish" this conversation someday down the line...
