This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster and Kevonte Chilous from Always Hold On To Arrow and Tom Gehrke, who created our awesome logo as well as a lot of the other artwork you see around the podcast, to discuss the one hundred forty fifth episode of Smallville, "Hero." We talk the return of Pete Ross, the use of Stride gum in the episode as arguably the most shameless product placement of all time, One Republic, and much more! Don't worry, the latest Always Hold On To Smallville is Kryptonite free!
