Episode 121 - Alias (Season 1)

Episode 121 - Alias (Season 1)

The first season of Alias is really what made J.J. Abrams a force to be reckoned with. His vision of masterful storytelling and mystery made not only Alias great, but all of his other shows and films as well. This episode covers the first season of Alias which I call - The One with Will's Investigation

Episode 120 - Smallville (Season 10)

Episode 120 - Smallville (Season 10)

We've made it to the end of Smallville, guys! The 10th season of Smallville is definitely considered the One with Superman, but it may also be called The One with Darkseid if we were honest with ourselves. Superman doesn't show up until the final five minutes of the season - but the path to being Superman is certainly prevalent. Make sure you have a listen, as I reveal what the next season of Smaller on the Outside will be about!

Apr 16, 201951:29
Episode 119 - Smallville (Season 9)

Episode 119 - Smallville (Season 9)

We're almost there, guys! The 9th season of Smallville had Clark face one of his ultimate foes - ZOD. Clark must find a way to stop Zod from gaining abilities and enslaving the human race before it's too late, and Zod keeps thwarting Clark's plan. He even claims to be the Blur to take Lois away from Clark. The NERVE on that guy!

Apr 09, 201947:53
Episode 118 - Smallville (Season 8)

Episode 118 - Smallville (Season 8)

The 8th season of Smallville took a giant leap forward with Clark's eventual destiny of becoming Superman. From embracing a heroic alter-ego known as the Red Blue Blur, to starting work at the Daily Planet with Lois Lane, to battling one of his greatest foes: Doomsday, this season is an unforgettable one.

Apr 02, 201941:24
Episode 117 - Smallville (Season 7)

Episode 117 - Smallville (Season 7)

The 7th season of Smallville is known to me as The One with Supergirl, but you can also call it the One with Veritas, or the Last One with Lex. There's definitely a few memorable episodes in the seventh season, as it's most-likely Lex's strongest season, but it could also use some help. Let's talk about that!

Mar 26, 201946:33
Episode 116 - Smallville (Season 6)

Episode 116 - Smallville (Season 6)

For the most part, the sixth season of Smallville can be attributed as The One with the Phantoms, or The One with Level 33.1, as those are the most important storylines that affect a majority of the characters - but there's plenty of other things going on this season too. A new power, and someone else discovers Clark's secret! Listen now!

Mar 19, 201944:08
Episode 115 - Smallville (Season 5)

Episode 115 - Smallville (Season 5)

We're halfway done with the Smallville rewatch, and can you believe they're already talking about General Zod and the Phantom Zone in the 5th season? That's nuts! Plus, we had quite a few landmark episodes this time around. Check it out!

Mar 12, 201953:09
Episode 114 - Smallville (Season 4)

Episode 114 - Smallville (Season 4)

The 4th season of Smallville had one of the most memorable sequences in the show as a whole, but it also had quite a bit of filler episodes, too. That being said, it had the first real seasonal arc in the season, which was the Stones of Power that eventually created the Crystal of Knowledge when combined - you know, the crystal that creates the Fortress of Solitude!

Mar 05, 201945:42
Episode 113 - Smallville (Season 3)

Episode 113 - Smallville (Season 3)

The third season of Smallville dived deep into Lex's determination to put his father in prison, and he has to fight through death threats, bogus murder charges, and craziness just to get a shoe in! Also, will Jor-El finally get his grubby paws on Clark?
Feb 26, 201953:19
Episode 112 - Smallville (Season 2)

Episode 112 - Smallville (Season 2)

The second season of Smallville took things up a notch, as every episode held importance in one way or another, but does that necessarily mean the episodes are memorable? Not so much, take that as you will. One thing is for sure, the series is certainly getting more epic.

Feb 19, 201945:57
Episode 111 - Smallville (Season 1)

Episode 111 - Smallville (Season 1)

The 1st season of Smallville began in 2001 and ran until 2002. It's impressive cast of characters made the show iconic, helped it last 10 years, and kickstarted the current popularity for superhero TV that we see today.

Episode 110 - The Hoarder (Comics Vol. 1)

Episode 110 - The Hoarder (Comics Vol. 1)

Happy New Year! Doctor Who is back for a special episode to ring in the new year with an old friend. It's always sad to see the show leave us for an extended period, but Resolution is the perfect episode to leave us waiting!

Episode 108 - The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos

Episode 102 - Arachnids in the UK

Spiders? Why did it have to be spiders?? This episode of Doctor Who tugs at your biggest phobias, primarily speaking giant, disgusting eight-legged freaks. But... is that enough to make the episode memorable? Let's discuss.

Dec 10, 201747:35
Episode 93 - Season 8 [Doctor Who]

Episode 93 - Season 8 [Doctor Who]

Season 8, the first season starring none other than Peter Capaldi for the first ever time - and as usual - it usually takes the Doctor a while to get things done.
Dec 03, 201744:39
Episode 92 - Season 7B [Doctor Who]

Episode 92 - Season 7B [Doctor Who]

The second half of season 7 centers mostly around Clara as she travels around with Matt Smith's doctor, as well as his final hours in the role, handing off the baton to Peter Capaldi. A lot of this season is underwhelming, but when it gets good, it gets very good.
Nov 12, 201746:52
Episode 91 - Season 7A [Doctor Who]

Episode 91 - Season 7A [Doctor Who]
