This week Zach is joined by Rob O'Connor from the All Star Superfan Podcast and Craig McKenzie from Kneel Before Blog to discuss the one hundred ninety second episode of Smallville, “Upgrade." They talk Craig's
Smallville fandom, the return of Brain Austin Green's Metallo, the John Corben/Lois Lane dynamic, Red Kryptonite and the episode's alternate ending. Jor-El might be silent this week, but the latest Always Hold On To Smallville isn't!
Check out the Rob on the
All Star Superfan Podcast!
