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 joined by Matt Truex from Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman to discuss the twenty first episode of Smallville and the first season finale, "Tempest." As with all first time guests we open up discussing Matt's Superman fandom, his thoughts on Lois & Clark and Smallville overall, then jump into talking "Tempest"; from annoying Superman references, the ages of the main characters (they're HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN) and Matt's Green Arrow costume, we have a lot of fun discussing what is in my opinion Smallville's best episode yet! We cap it all off reading listener email and bidding you adieu for a month or so. Just like Smallville did after this episode...I'm going on hiatus!
