Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman

When a simple podcast celebrating Batman Forever's 30th anniversary is interrupted by the likes of HG Wells and the dastardly Tempus, our crack team of writers must drop everything for 2-ish hours and pitch the greatest Lois & Clark/Batman Forever crossover TV movie they can possibly imagine… within the city limits of 90s Metropolis, of course. Check out this week's guests on all their other great podcasts: Zach Moore: Always Hold On To Smallville Lance Laster: Always Hold On To Arrow Kevonte Chilous: Always Hold On To Star Wars and for no real reason… Rob O'Connor: All Star Superfan Podcast Matt Truex is a Warner Bros.
