In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re taking a detour from Kansas and heading to Metropolis for a deep dive into Superman Returns (2006). From Brandon Routh’s quiet strength to Lex’s land-grab of doom, we’re revisiting the film that tried to carry the legacy of Christopher Reeve into a new era. Did it work? Was the world ready for Superman’s return… or had it already moved on? Join us as we unpack the emotional weight, the iconic plane rescue, and that piano scene — and ask the ultimate question: Was it actually good?

About this episode:
It’s time to return to where the legend began. Join us as we revisit every episode of *Smallville*, the show that redefined the Superman legacy for a new generation. From Clark Kent’s first days in Smallville to the epic conclusion after ten seasons, we’re covering it all—one week at a time.
Perfect for fans who grew up watching *Smallville* or anyone fascinated by the evolution of Superman, this podcast is your weekly dive into the series that brought the Man of Steel’s origin story to life. Each episode, we break down the plot, rank the “freaks of the week,” dig into the DC references, hunt for Easter eggs, and celebrate the moments that made *Smallville* a cornerstone of superhero television.
In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into one of the most baffling hours of the entire series. From weird plot choices to character decisions that made us yell at the screen, this one had it all — and not in a good way. But somewhere under the chaos, there’s still heart, Kryptonian drama, and that unmistakable early-2000s CW charm. Let’s unpack what went wrong, what still works, and why Kara Zor-El deserved way more than this.

In the Season 7 finale of Smallville, everything changes. Lex Luthor discovers the truth about Clark, confronts him in the Fortress of Solitude, and makes a decision that collapses not just a crystal palace — but the very heart of the show. As Brainiac reveals his true face, Chloe is taken, Kara is lost, and Clark is left broken in more ways than one. This episode marks the end of Lex’s journey… and the death of the Smallville we knew. Join us as we revisit the final chapter of Clark and Lex’s brotherhood — and the moment Smallville grew up, whether it was ready or not

Clark is captured by the last surviving member of Veritas, a secret society that believes Superman’s power is too dangerous to exist. As Lex uncovers ancient clues hidden across the globe, Clark is forced onto a sacrificial altar, weakened by kryptonite and caught in a battle between destiny and destruction. With Chloe racing against time and Lex one step closer to unlocking the Traveler’s secret, everything Clark’s been fighting for is on the line. What happens when the people sworn to protect you… become the ones who fear you most?

In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, Clark wakes up in a world where he never became Superman — and everything is wrong. Chloe’s engaged, Lex is President, and no one even remembers Lana Lang. As Clark searches for answers, he’s pulled into a race against time, a nuclear war, and a familiar face with a dangerous agenda: Brainiac. From alternate timelines to the exploding skies of Krypton, this is one of Smallville’s boldest episodes ever — and Clark’s biggest challenge yet.

This week on Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into one of the biggest lore drops of the entire series. Clark is locked up, Kara gets her memories back, and we finally learn the truth about Veritas (a secret society that’s been watching him since day one). Is Lionel really trying to protect him? Is Lex too far gone? And what happens when Clark’s greatest threat… used to be his ally? Let’s talk about it.

This week on Going Back to Smallville we’re talking about the infamous gum episode. Pete Ross returns with stretchy powers, kryptonite chewing gum is apparently a thing, and OneRepublic is somehow involved. It’s weird, it’s wild, and we’re breaking down why this might be the most bizarre episode of Smallville ever made — and whether it deserves the hate or secretly rules.
We dive into character arcs, DCU references, behind-the-scenes trivia, and why this moment still hits all these years later.

This week on Going Back to Smallville we’re talking about the episode where Clark literally goes inside Lex’s mind. It’s weird and emotional and somehow still one of the best explorations of their friendship. We get into all of it from Chloe’s big moment to Kara’s memory loss to the question we keep coming back to. Was there ever really hope for Lex?

In this emotional episode of Going Back to Smallville, we unpack the mid-season premiere “Persona” (S7E10), where Lana believes she’s closer to Clark than ever — only to discover she’s been living with Bizarro the whole time. With Clark frozen in the Fortress and Brainiac making a dangerous return, the real Clark must rescue Dax-Ur and reclaim his life… and maybe Lana’s heart. This one’s got deception, identity crises, and a gut-punch ending that changes everything.
We dive into character arcs, DCU references, behind-the-scenes trivia, and why this moment still hits all these years later.

About this episode:
It’s time to return to where the legend began. Join us as we revisit every episode of *Smallville*, the show that redefined the Superman legacy for a new generation. From Clark Kent’s first days in Smallville to the epic conclusion after ten seasons, we’re covering it all—one week at a time.
Lois dives headfirst into danger when a cryptic phone call reveals Chloe has a bomb on her—and it’s tied to a secret LuthorCorp cloning project. As Lex and Grant battle over buried truths, Clark finally returns to Smallville… but something’s not right. In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, we unpack every major moment from Season 7, Episode 9: the Bizarro Clark twist, Lana’s secret surveillance room, and one of the closest calls Chloe has ever faced.
We dive into character arcs, DCU references, behind-the-scenes trivia, and why this moment still hits all these years later.

Each week Matt and Maggie produce a variety of shows on YouTube and podcast services with a positive nerdy spin. We like to keep things fun and light by simply geeking out over the things we love. If you’re looking for drama and toxicity, we’re not the droids you’re looking for.

About this episode:
It’s time to return to where the legend began. Join us as we revisit every episode of *Smallville*, the show that redefined the Superman legacy for a new generation. From Clark Kent’s first days in Smallville to the epic conclusion after ten seasons, we’re covering it all—one week at a time.
Perfect for fans who grew up watching *Smallville* or anyone fascinated by the evolution of Superman, this podcast is your weekly dive into the series that brought the Man of Steel’s origin story to life. Each episode, we break down the plot, rank the “freaks of the week,” dig into the DC references, hunt for Easter eggs, and celebrate the moments that made *Smallville* a cornerstone of superhero television.
