This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the fiftieth episode of Smallville, "Relic." They talk the alternate title of "1961," Jor-El looking exaclty like Clark in his youth, the secret family history of the Luthors, Jonathan Kent's age, and Lance's theory of Krypton's connection to Earth. You don't need a Kryptonian pendant to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
