This week Zach is joined by Leah Vogel to discuss the one hundred ninety third episode of Smallville, “Charade.”
They talk Leah’s “Smallville” and Superman fandom, if In Media Res helped or hurt this episode, Franklin Stern’s ever-so-short tenure on the series, and the first of many live actions Maxwell Lords. This won’t be the last time you hear from the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
