Podcast Full of Kryptonite

From creepy bug boys to classic Clark Kent growing pains, the Podcast Full of Kryptonite is diving into Smallville's second episode, “Metamorphosis”! This week, we're talking about Lana's necklace of doom, Lex's increasing obsession with Clark, and the show's first real taste of Smallville's signature “freak of the week” formula. Is Greg Arkin the most tragic bug-loving villain ever? And how does Clark handle his first real test of heroism? Join us as we break it all down—because before there was a Superman, there was a teenage farm boy just trying to survive high school… and a town full of super-powered weirdos.

From super strength to awkward teen romance, the Podcast Full of Kryptonite is trading in capes for combine harvesters! Now that Superman & Lois has wrapped, we're rewinding to the beginning with a rewatch and review of Smallville's pilot episode. Get ready for long dramatic glances, meteor-freak mayhem, and the birth of Clark Kent's Superman journey. Because let's face it, before there was a Man of Steel, there was a farm boy with a serious case of meteor-induced angst. Join us this week as we ask the important questions: Was Lana Lang's hair always that perfect? And just how many times can one town be hit by meteor showers?

Our good friends Jason and Tristan join the show to recap and geek out over the entire four-season run of Superman & Lois.

In this episode, we dive into the highly anticipated teaser trailer for the new Superman film from James Gunn. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the Superman saga, this episode has everything you need to get hyped for the next chapter in the DC Universe!

In the series finale of Superman & Lois, we are left with a poignant, heartfelt, and fitting end to this version of Superman. It beautifully wraps up the journey of the Kent family, highlighting themes of growth, unity, and the lasting impact of love.

In this emotionally charged episode of Superman & Lois ("To Live and Die Again"), the stakes reach a breaking point as Clark's weakening powers and Lex Luthor's devious plot set the stage for an explosive showdown. With Doomsday unleashed on Smallville, Clark must confront his mortality while his sons, Jonathan and Jordan, step up to defend their home—and the fate of the Kent family hangs in the balance.

Lex Luthor and Lois Lane engage in a tense debate about truth and control, but the episode's focus quickly shifts to more intense storylines, including Clark's health and Lex's strategic advantages.

In "A Regular Guy," Superman & Lois explores the emotional toll of Clark Kent's double life, as his secret is finally exposed in a dramatic confrontation that frees him to live openly with his family. The episode redefines the stakes for the Kent family while hinting at an even greater threat from Lex Luthor, now that the world knows Superman's true identity.

Lex Luthor escalates his vendetta against Superman and Lois by bringing LuthorCorp to Smallville, sparking a showdown with Mayor Lana Lang. After Lana is nearly killed in a failed assassination attempt, Superman steps in, leading to an epic confrontation that drives Lex out of town—at least for now. But as the dust settles, Lex and his lawyer, Amanda McCoy, begin plotting their next move.

Tensions escalate as Lex Luthor's connection with his estranged daughter Elizabeth complicates his quest for vengeance. Meanwhile, the Kent family faces their own challenges: Jonathan grapples with his powers and secrecy, putting strain on his relationship with Candice, while Clark revisits his battle with Doomsday, fearing he's no match. Lois, however, takes a surprising approach, attempting to reach the humanity in Doomsday.

This time we dive into the Kents' struggle to adjust to life back together, wedding plans for Kyle and Chrissy, and a Metropolis rescue with plenty of heat! 

In this episode of Superman & Lois, Jonathan Kent unexpectedly gains superpowers, joining his brother Jordan. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes with the shocking death of a beloved character, leaving Lois devastated.
