Episode 137 - 7×05 Action

This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster from Always Hold On To Arrow and Joey Dienberg to discuss the one hundred thirty seventh episode of Smallville, "Action." We talk Joey's Smallville fandom, the extremely meta nature of the episode, a return of the mythology of Warrior Angel, Lionel in a bear trap, and much more! Don't worry, the latest Always Hold On To Smallville stays true to the comic book source material!Check out Always Hold On To Arrow:spreaker.com/show/donotfailourpod*Note: We recorded this podcast before the events on the set of Rust that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It felt appropriate to address considering such a similar plot point in "Action," so I share a brief commentary and reflection on the tragedy at the top of the podcast.EPISODE ROUNDUPZach's Grade: ALance's Grade: AJoey's Grade: A-IMDB Grade: 8.1Superman Homepage Grade: 1/5 Bechdel Test: PASSSERIES TALLY BOARD...From Metropolis: 16Amazing Technicolor Kryptonite: 10Amnesia Count: 58Blue Shirt/Red Jacket: 63Chloe's Unseen Connections: 28Clark Loses His Powers: 9Episode Title Said In Episode: 54Hospital Visits: 108In Media Res: 4Injection Count: 47Kent Truck Accidents: 10KOs to Keep Clark's Secret: 45KOs to Keep Oliver's Secret: 3Lana Kills: 6Lois Arm Punches: 6Lois' Costume Closet: 5Main Character Deaths: 16Mind Control Count: 22Movie Plot As An Episode: 15Not The Last Son Of Krypton: 8Possession Count: 24Product Placement Pete: 18Shirtless Oliver: 2Shower Count: 21Shut It Down: 10Shut That Laptop: 27Smallville High School Faculty Deaths: 5Smallville High School Student Deaths: 17Under The Influence: 32Wakes Up Tied Up: 11Weddings: 4"You Weren't Yourself": 32Always Hold On To Smallville is brought you to by listeners like you.
