Clark breaking things!), and spill all the details on our upcoming Extra Extra episodes! (Spoiler alert: One of us WILL be donning yellow feathers.) 🐤🐤

Ah, The House Of Luthor. Yes, Lex Tower is a pretty neat place. It's got hidden wine cellars, trap-doored ceilings, glowing green cages, ample space for wedding ceremonies, a secret elevator, an excellent sound system, and -- DID YOU KNOW? -- it's the tallest building in Metropolis?! (Lex may have mentioned it once or twice.)

The wedding between Lex and Lois is quickly approaching, and Clark & pals are intent on stopping it -- and bringing down Lex. Jack escapes juvie, Jimmy escapes a degrading job, and the newly-retired Perry tells Alice "I'm goin' fishing!" so he can hop a plane to Metropolis. Working together, the four of them manage to uncover the SHOCKING truth that Lex Luthor might just be "The Boss," a shadowy figure that basically runs Metropolis. But is it enough to stop the wedding? Oh, and did we mention Lex has Kryptonite?

Listen along as we drop ALL our thoughts on this incredible first season finale!

Our Special Feature this week is: The Official Lois & Clark Soundtrack!

It's hard to believe we're already to Barbarians at the Planet, the first in a two-part, angst-filled, drama-ridden, window-shattering showdown, with an ending so WHAMmy, it's a wonder anyone wanted to come back for the next episode. (We jest... we totally wanted more!)

Lex Luthor, intent on securing Lois, sets off to destroy everything that matters to her. Meanwhile, Clark decides it's time to tell Lois that he loves her -- but it  just so happens Lois is ready to tell Superman that she loves only him! Lex also gets his hands on Kryptonite for the first time. With the Daily Planet destroyed and everyone scattered, can things EVER go back to normal?

Join us as we discuss befuddling plot divots, ponder what Lois was ordering on that endless phone call, squee over the cuteness that is Martha and Jonathan (always), and share in our mutual relief over the fact that Lois somehow managed to rescue her hardy little desk plant. #GrantThePlant

Today we're talking Season 1, Episode 19: Fly Hard, an episode that builds a strong case against going into work on the weekend.

When a gang of baddies raids the Daily Planet in search of a Prohibition-Era treasure, the DP crew (and Lex) are taken prisoner. References to Die Hard abound as Clark struggles to save all his friends (and Lex) from harm. Meanwhile, Lois insists on playing the Chaotic card, while Lex just does whatever the hell he wants (classic Lex!) Some people try to be heroes (good effort, Jimmy!), some just make things worse (LEX), and -- in the end -- an unlikely hero emerges. (Her name? Elvira.)

Join us as we discuss this action-packed, adorably flawed episode!

Our Special Feature this week is: Cat Grant in the comics!

Fly Hard first aired on March 27, 1994

We're talking S1E18, Vatman, and once again, Lex is up to no good. He's created a clone of Superman and is raising him to kill the real Superman. Spoiler alert: He succeeds, and we're stuck with Supes #2 for the rest of the series. :(

Of course we're kidding. That would be terrible. Which is to say, the clone is terrible. Please, showrunners... promise us -- no more clones? Ever?

Anywayyy, join us for some split-screen shenanigans and wacky doings, including but not limited to: Lex giving Supes2 a piggyback ride! Clark walking on the ceiling! Lois throwing pasta! Perry jumping off a bridge! And Jimmy, dear Jimmy, losing his mind!

Lois and Clark are just friends. Nothing more between them. So... why does Lois get wildly jealous when her ex-friend starts romantically pursuing Clark, hmm? Maybe it's because the writers knew we'd love watching Lois jump on Clark's bed, start a fight at a press conference, squeak "How can you be so calm?" and discover Perry hiding in Clark's magical closet.

Yes, this week we're talking about The Rival! And that ex-friend is Linda King, the first of many "pals from Lois's college days" to pop up on the show. Linda lies, she steals, she seduces, and she'll scoop your story right out from under you. And sure, Metropolis Star magnate Preston Carpenter is here, too, trying to take over Metropolis and eventually the world, but... is he even the real villain of this episode?

In this first-season treasure, we're introduced to the cutest character to ever appear on the show (except for maybe baby Clark in Tempus Fugitive) -- iiiit's Jack!

We're talking about S1E16, Foundling!

Remember that Kryptonian globe Clark found way back in Strange Visitor? It starts to glow and chatter, and -- whoops -- suddenly it's gone. It soon falls into the hands of Lex Luthor, who, let's face it, doesn't need more stuff! I don't care how many underground lairs he has! But -- fear not, because when the stakes are high, that globe can fly!

In other news, L&C get nominated for their first joint award, Jimmy and Cat pore over their family trees, and Perry gets called Gramps -- which we're sure in no way influences any of his actions two episodes from now. 

Our Special Feature this week is: All About Tracy Scoggins!

The Ides Of Metropolis: Or, The One With the Gigantic Nude Painting of Clark's Mom!

In this fan, um, non-favorite, ALL THE COMPUTERS become infected with a virus, and only Superman and his floppy-disk-transporting powers can save the day! Meanwhile, Lois harbors an escaped convict, Martha might be having an affair, and Lex gets philosophical -- and then accidentally kills someone. 

We rarely rewatch this episode, but we're glad we did, because it turns out... Ides has some hidden gems! Clever throwbacks to The Pilot... hints about things to come later in the season... a preview of what married life might look like for Lois & Clark in the far future... not to mention some rare, sweet moments with Clark and his dad. 

Of course, we also started noticing that Lois's fish tank badly needs cleaning, so, you know... "enthralling," Ides is not. OUR recap, on the other hand? A total blast (if we do say so ourselves.) So come on and have a listen!

Our Special Feature this week is: Jenn's Visits to the WB Studios in 1995 and 1996!

It seems unbelievable, but here we are at our 14th Episode Check-In! After we recorded "Illusions of Grandeur," we came together to talk about all the L&C news that's come our way in the past few months and to chat a little more about our podcasting adventures. But wait -- there's more! Jenn leads a Q&A, and Molly presents a game of "Already Happened... Or Still To Come?" (Want to play along? Grab a paper and pencil!) Finally, we look forward to the next 7 episodes, and the thrilling conclusion of Lois & Clark: Season 1!
