"Always hold on to Smallville..."

Those were Jonathan Kent's final words in Smallville, which from 2001 to 2011 chronicled the trials and tribulations of a young Clark Kent on his journey from farm boy to Superman. Host Zach Moore is taking them to heart and will be covering each and every episode of the hit TV series than ran for 10 seasons and over 200 episodes on the WB/CW...and ushered in the golden age of superhero television we're currently enjoying today!

This week Zach is again joined by Lance Laster to discuss the seventeenth episode of Smallville, "Reaper." Off the top of the show we respond to some listener feedback, reading iTunes reviews and emails, then jump into discussing what is one of the series' most frustrating episodes. There's no denying the freak of the week plot here is one of Smallville's worst. Still, "Reaper" contains life lessons that are truly worth holding on to and in fact the one scene of the entire series that most resonated with Zach.

This week Zach is joined by first time guest from Krypton Report: The Supergirl Podcast, Tyler Patrick to discuss the sixteenth episode of Smallville, "Stray." As fellow Superman aficionados, we nerd out for the first 25 minutes or so discussing Tyler's Superman and Smallville fandom as well as a random tangent here and there. Truth be told there's more than a half hour of conversation I left on the cutting room floor, so maybe I'll release an "Ultimate Cut" someday. If you enjoy Superman fans Superman...fanning, then this is the episode for you!
