Episode 74 - 4x08 Spell

This week Zach is joined by Cory Moore to discuss the the seventy fourth episode of Smallville, "Spell." We talk Cory's Smallville fandom and how he found the podcast, why he wanted to be part of the discussion about this infamously bad episode, the stones of power and Kryptonian artifacts on Earth pre-Krypton's destruction, the use of magic in the series (and in particular this season) and much more! Get caught under the spell of this week's Always Hold On To Smallville!
