The Trials of SMALLVILLE Part 4 — The Downfall of Lex Luthor
Host Anthony Desiato and guest Lance Laster (Always Hold On To Arrow) dig into Lex Luthor's (Michael Rosenbaum) tragic descent across the decade-long television series SMALLVILLE.
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!
