Embrace mortality along with us this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit the sophomore slump return to Freaks of the Week in Smallville Season 5 Episode 2 MORTAL! Our rewatch takes an eerie turn when Tom realizes that this is the episode that nearly fatally wounded his stunt double Chris Sayour during the ‘hanging from the vents’ stunt inside Luthorcorp. Michael explores whether or not Lex Luthor is turning full heel heading into the fifth season, Tom comes face to face with Clark’s morality, and Ryan gets introduced to the suspenders of disbelief.

Introducing The Race to Define Kamala Harris from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Election Day is just over 100 days away, and the Trump team is scrambling to define Kamala Harris before she can do it herself. Jon and Dan discuss the Harris campaign rollout so far, the Right's attack playbook, and Joe Biden's Oval Office address about passing the torch. Then, former UN Ambassador Susan Rice joins the show to talk about what it really means to say Harris is a "DEI candidate," and what it's like to go through the VP vetting process.

What a way to put a cap on this season. Join Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum as we tie a bow on Smallville’s high school era… the quest for the stone of knowledge… and the magical tramp stamp by revisiting the Season 4 Finale: COMMENCEMENT! This episode started off slow with some casual office hand washing and quickly built with tension around multiple kidnappings and another meteor shower. Tom shares wild stories from his time filming in the mountains for the Fortress of Solitude, Michael puts to rest the Teague family, and we all eagerly await the highly anticipated fifth season.

What a treat this week. We are joined by none other than Smallville’s Sheriff CAMILLE MITCHELL as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit Smallville Season 4 Episode 21: FOREVER! Thank goodness we have a couple cameos this podcast, because the episode itself was tough to get through… made evident by our episode rankings later in the show. Besides that we talk about Smallville exiting the High School phase, Michael’s memories of being tied up, and the psychological impact of having your character written off.

We try to remember an episode about Clark trying to remember this week as Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum revisit Smallville Season 4 Episode 19: BLANK! After we explore Jensen’s character diving off the deep end, the guys explore Chloe’s character development and how it’s grown since Season 1. We also continue the rage against yellow vehicles and try to figure out what the motivation for the evil Dick Cheney-like father was in this episode.
