In episode 173 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo continues his run through the second season of “Superboy” with the season’s 9th and 10th episodes.

First, we’re going to meet Andy’s dad. And then we’re going to meet a being based on Andy’s dad. And would it come as a surprise that Andy’s man is a bit of a con-man with a prison record?

Would it surprise you that he’s being pursed by a robot that’s “Programmed for Death”?

And then we’re going to turn up the juice. Superboy’s specifically. Superboy’s powers are out of touch and he doesn’t know who did it? Why should he? The answer was only right in front of his face and he still didn’t see it?

Is this all part of Luthor’s plan to get out of prison? What will happen when he is threatened with “Superboy’s Deadly Touch”?

Next time: We will continue our coverage of Season 2 with “The Power of Evil” and “Superboy … Rest In Peace”
