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! Check out Matt's podcast Pick A Disc.
