This week Zach is joined by Matt Truex from Lois & Clark's: The New Podcasts of Superman and Alan Burke from the All Star Superfan Podcast to discuss the one hundred thirty sixth episode of Smallville, "Cure." We talk Alan's Superman and Smallville fandom, Dean Cain and the character he was supposed to be playing, Clark'd careless attitude toward killing in this episode, the exhausting Chloe and Jimmy relationship, and much more! If you're going to live forever, you might as well pass the time by listening to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
