S01E16: "Stray"

Original airdate: 4/16/02

You wouldn't have to be a mind reader to tell Ryan's step parents are bad people, considering all the casual murder of pawnbrokers and janitors they commit. Ryan wants out, and taking his chance to run, finds himself with the Kent's. Is Ryan sort of a little dick because of his powers? What did Ryan read in Lex? Where the hell was the driver of that garbage truck? Are we safe now? It's the one where we ask you the question; If Ryan knew a secret you might benefit from, do you let him tell you or not?

Calling all Smallvillians!! Paul and Steve here to let you know about a small(ville) change in our release schedule. 

S01E15: "Nicodemus"

Original airdate: 3/19/02

When an experimental flower appears in Smallville, it has some wild effects on those it infects with its pollen. Effects like extreme anger, swagger, and horniness! It's one of the only episodes where you could probably review it with a few emoji's. We ask; Does Pa Kent have a vibrant sex life? How DID Lana get outta there so fast? Is Pete just straight up a liability when conducting a B&E? Do our hosts go into the weeds *several* times? Thanks for listening, and remember, talk to your doctor about Nicodemus™, Today! #EpstienDidntKillHimself #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

S01E14: "Zero"

Original airdate: 3/12/02

The tagline for Club Zero is "Zero Consequences" but that REALLY is not true in Lex' experience. What really happened that night? Is murdering several dozen head of cattle too far for revenge? Can the Talon recover from the bad PR of a severed hand (LOLZ) in time for opening night? Chloe starts digging and just is not. Gonna. Stop. It's the one with a special guest scream from Paul's roommate, and also consequences. So many.

S01E09: "Rogue"

Original airdate: 12/11/01

After witnessing Clark turn a long bus into a short bus, one of Metropolis' "finest" decides to work a little blackmail. This guy is seriously everywhere the plot requires him to appear, and at least one where breaking space-time would be necessary to achieve. Chloe loses her spot as The Torch's EIC to Lana, albeit temporarily. Lex plays host to an old flame, and plays bomb defusal expert to boot. It's an episode that requires SEVERAL leaps to get from A to B, and it's up to your hosts to fill the holes. This one is a real bejeweled breastplate.

Original airdate: 12/11/01

When the Kent’s head to Metropolis to celebrate their anniversary, Clark throws a SMALL party, except half the town shows up, including one guest who really shakes things up. Earl, a sick LuthorCorp employee who was exposed to chemicals in a workplace incident, wants to expose the secret cover-up of something called Level 3. Is Earl just another tinfoil hatted loon? Should Lex be hanging out at high school parties? Did Lionel really expect Lex might die? Did Tony Todd get his nails did for this? It’s the one where the shakes aren’t all caffeine.
