This week Zach is joined by JJ Hodges from For Comic Junkies to discuss the one hundred seventy fifth episode of Smallville, "Savior." They talk JJ's Smallville fandom, season nine being another soft reboot of the series, The Blur's new costume, Terminator and time travel, and Zod on Smallville...again. The latest Always Hold On To Smallville is not the same voice as the orb!
