Episode 216 - 10x20 Prophecy

This week Zach is joined by Matt Truex from Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman and Anthony Desiato from Digging for Kryptonite to discuss the two hundred sixteenth episode of Smallville, “Prophecy." They talk the odd timing of doing a superpower switcheroo in the second to last episode of the series, Kara spending her final appearance teamed up with a character she's never met, a technological take on Starro, and of one of Smallville's most infamous ideas and visuals: Marionette Ventures! The latest Always Hold On To Smallville is 800% more awesome!

Episode 210 - 10x14 Masquerade

This week Zach is joined Michael Bailey from From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast to discuss the two hundred tenth episode of Smallville, “Masquerade." They talk Clark putting on the glasses and starting to establish a true secret identity, what that means for this version of the character, the Smallville's (not very faithful) interpretation of Desaad, and the uninspired Date Night A-plot. You don't need microvision to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
