Episode 210 - 10x14 Masquerade Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

This week Zach is joined Michael Bailey from From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast to discuss the two hundred tenth episode of Smallville, “Masquerade." They talk Clark putting on the glasses and starting to establish a true secret identity, what that means for this version of the character, the Smallville's (not very faithful) interpretation of Desaad, and the uninspired Date Night A-plot. You don't need microvision to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!

Show notes

This week Zach is joined by Tricia Ennis from Always Hold On To DC’s Legends of Tomorrow to discuss the two hundred eighth episode of Smallville, “Collateral." They talk the underwhelming follow up to the midseason finale's big cliffhanger, the show's continued misunderstanding and underserving of Black Canary, the return of the worst Suicide Squad, and Chloe being basically Oracle. You can trust the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
