This week Zach is joined by Anthony Desiato from Digging for Kryptonite to discuss the one hundred fifty third episode of Smallville, “Odyssey." They talk the series' new direction in season eight, the slew of returning guest stars, the logistics of Clark losing and regaining his powers yet again, and how Cassidy Freeman so effortlessly steps into the very big shoes left behind by Michael Rosenbaum. The latest Always Hold On To Smallville continues its impossible odyssey!
