The Trials of SMALLVILLE Part 1 — Clark's Journey (and Ours): The High School Era
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!
"A Superboy Fan Journey" Chapter XVII.
