  • Host Anthony Desiato and guest Bernie Gerstmayr (Aw Yeah Comics) dig into what is generally regarded as one of the very best — if not THE best — superhero films of all time: 1978's SUPERMAN from director Richard Donner, which prioritized verisimilitude in its earnest, reverent approach and introduced audiences to Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel.

    Anthony and Bernie discuss the four major acts of the film as they follow Kal-El from Krypton to Smallville, then Metropolis, and ultimately the deserts of California for the film's iconic (though debated) finale.

  • Host Anthony Desiato brings his 32-year fan journey full-circle by interviewing two of the architects of the famed Triangle Era: longtime Superman group editor MIKE CARLIN and veteran comics creator DAN JURGENS, who wrote and drew SUPERMAN #75 — aka the finale to THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.

    In the first half of the double feature, Anthony speaks with Mike Carlin about the recently released Triangle Era omnibus; the origin, evolution, and eventual end of that period in Superman comics; and running the famous Super Summits to chart out each year's stories.

    Then, Anthony welcomes Dan Jurgens to discuss Doomsday's inspiration, origin, and adaptations; other Triangle Era highlights, including underrated villain Conduit; and what he hopes fans like Anthony take away from the Death & Return of Superman.

    They relive the defining moments in Lex's journey and broken friendship with Clark, from their fateful meeting on the bridge in the pilot to their long-awaited reunion in the series finale — with stops along the way at the asylum, the dark truth about Julian, a pivotal Christmas vision, a faked pregnancy, and Lex's inevitable killing of Lionel Luthor.

    Were Lex and Clark ever really friends? What role, if any, does Clark play in how Lex turned out? And did the series misunderstand its own point by mind-wiping Lex in the end? Anthony and Lance ponder these questions and more!

They discuss the critical role that the relationship drama played in SMALLVILLE's success; defining moments between Clark and Lana, Lois, Chloe, and Alicia; ships that never sailed (and that sadly did!); the fan discourse around the show's romances; and how Anthony's fandom of a legendary TV sitcom finally helped him come to terms with "Requiem."

    Plus! Anthony and Craig discuss the show's use of Red Kryptonite, its impact on Clark's personal relationships, and what it revealed each time about the future Superman.

  • Host Anthony Desiato and guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) pick up right where they left off last week as they continue charting Clark's personal journey across the decade-long television series SMALLVILLE.

    This week, they follow Clark into the so-called "Dropout Years," when he left college to run the farm after Jonathan's death and shied away from the destiny that awaited — even as he developed super-breath, encountered more of his future Justice League teammates, rounded up escaped Phantom Zone prisoners, and looked after Kara Zor-El.

    Then, they enter the Metropolis Years, aka the final era of the show, in which Clark started working at the Daily Planet, embarked on a romantic relationship with Lois, developed a dual superhero identity (The Blur), and — at long last — reconciled both of his worlds before taking flight as Superman.

  • Host Anthony Desiato kicks off a podcast event years in the making — "The Trials of SMALLVILLE" — with guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) and a conversation too big for one episode!

    This week, Anthony and Zach share their journeys as SMALLVILLE fans, including viewing routines, why the show resonated with them so much, and what it inspired in their personal lives.

    Then, they chart Clark's personal journey across the series' first 100 episodes (aka the high school seasons and first half of Season 5), including: the manifestation of his physical abilities in the form of X-ray vision, heat vision, and super-hearing; the discovery of his Kryptonian origins and fraught first encounters with AI Jor-El; his self-imposed exile after a terrible mistake; the formation of the iconic Fortress of Solitude; and the tragic passing of Jonathan Kent.

    Next week, they'll continue the conversation as they follow Clark through the "dropout" and Metropolis years!
