This week Zach is joined by Craig Byrne, webmaster of Kryptonsite and K-SiteTV and author of several companion books on the series, and Matt Truex from Lois & Clark’d: The New Podcasts of Superman to discuss the one hundred fifty second episode of Smallville, “Arctic.”
They talk Michael Rosenbaum’s departure from the series, Brainiac as Kara, the latest Clana breakup, and this being the end of an era for Smallville. The latest Always Hold On To Smallville has to end this way!
