As we grow up, and even after we are grown, our brains are constantly seeking its reflection. What happens when we grow up without that reflection? Micah uses his childhood obsession with Smallville vs. his new obsession with Supergirl to explain the lack of representation in televsion he experienced growing up. 

Plus, if you make it to the end, you might get to hear some 90s singer impersonations. You’re welcome.
