This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the ninetieth episode of Smallville, "Mortal." We talk Clark getting by without his powers, a surprisingly effective Sheriff Adams, lying to people about your ETA, flip phones and much more! It might be easier to turn the power off sometimes, but don't turn off the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
