This week Zach is joined by Meredith Borders from Fangoria to discuss the one hundred sixty fifth episode of Smallville, "Power." We talk the influence (or lack thereof) of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, the show avoiding the word Phoenix for some reason, Clark's habit of calling DVDs "discs" time after time, and Lana's ascension to herodom...or descent into villainy? Look behind the radiator for the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!
