This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster from Always Hold On To Arrow and Joey Dienberg to discuss the one hundred thirty seventh episode of Smallville, "Action." We talk Joey's Smallville fandom, the extremely meta nature of the episode, a return of the mythology of Warrior Angel, Lionel in a bear trap, and much more! Don't worry, the latest Always Hold On To Smallville stays true to the comic book source material!

*Note: We recorded this podcast before the events on the set of Rust that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It felt appropriate to address considering such a similar plot point in "Action," so I share a brief commentary and reflection on the tragedy at the top of the podcast.
