This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster and Kevonte Chilous from Always Hold On To Arrow to discuss the one hundred eighty fourth episode of Smallville, “Disciple." They talk the failure to launch subplot of Oliver potentially having a split personality, Smallville's strange version of Merlyn, the second and last appearance of Mia (who apparently didn't know she was Green Arrow's sidekick), and Mr. Zod inserting himself into Clark and Lois's life. It's not against your vow to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!

Check out Lance and Kevonte on Always Hold On To Arrow.

This week Zach is joined by Matt Latham from Pick A Disc to discuss the one hundred eighty third episode of Smallville, “Pandora." They talk how this episode lines up continuity-wise with "Savior," the Kandorians using a red sun to both give themselves powers and take away Clark's, Lois not figuring out that Clark is The Blur, and the unintended implications of these memories from the future being from Lois' POV. We could all die tomorrow, so listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville today!

This week Zach is joined Michael Bailey from From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast to discuss the one hundred seventy sixth episode of Smallville, "Metallo." They talk the many iterations of John Corben, the evolving love triangle between Lois, Clark and The Blur, Chloe being jealous (again), the one season of Smallville that Michael has never seen, and those well established Daily Planet key chains that every employee owns. You don't have to go to our phone booth to listen to the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!

Check out Michael's work: The Fortress of Baileytude
