Host Anthony Desiato presents the third in a quartet of "mixtape"-style discussions digging into the 1988-1992 SUPERBOY television series starring John Newton (Season 1) and Gerard Christopher (Seasons 2-4).

In Vol. III, Anthony and guest Michael Bailey (From Crisis to Crisis - The Married Years (A Superman and Lois Podcast)) discuss the evolution of Lex Luthor on the series. Originally played by actor Scott Wells in four Season 1 episodes, Lex was a contemporary of Clark who also attended Shuster University.

At the start of Season 2, Lex underwent plastic surgery as Sherman Howard took over the role for some of the show's memorable installments, including "Bodyswap," "Mine Games," "Know Thine Enemy," the alternate universe saga "Roads Not Taken" and "The Road to Hell," and more.
