Going Back To SmallvilleAuthor: Hopefully Awesome
Going Back to Smallville is our Smallville rewatch podcast, where Matt and Maggie revisit every episode of Clark Kents journey toward becoming Superman, from the pilot all the way through the series finale. Were going back to see what still holds up, what hasnt aged quite as well, and what we might have missed the first time around. Each week, we break down the story, dig into the characters, hunt for DC Comics references and Easter eggs, and rank the Freak of the Week as Smallville grows from high-school drama into a full-blown superhero show. Expect plenty of nostalgia, laughs, unexpected tangents, and wonderfully early-2000s weirdness along the way. Were a married couple who love Superman, DC Comics, and geeking out over the stuff we grew up with. Whether you watched Smallville every week on The WB and The CW, discovered Tom Wellings Clark Kent years later, or youre just getting started, come go back to Smallville with us, one episode at a time. Going Back to Smallville is part of Hopefully Awesome, where we keep things positive, have fun, and geek out over the stuff we love.

Persuasion
Episode 13
Tuesday, 20 October, 2026
Clark wanted a little old-fashioned romance, but he DEFINITELY wasn’t prepared for this version of Lois Lane! On this episode of Going Back to Smallville, our Smallville rewatch podcast and series retrospective, we’re talking Season 9, Episode 13, “Persuasion,” and we absolutely LOVED this one! When a new form of Kryptonite gives Clark the power of persuasion, one innocent comment turns Lois into a 1950s housewife, complete with a disastrous home-cooked dinner and some very unexpected wedding plans! Watching Lois act so differently is hilarious, but the real comedy comes from Clark realizing he’s responsible for all of it and immediately regretting what he said. The poor guy just wants his Lois back! We’re also geeking out over the introduction of Gemstone Kryptonite, the chaos it creates for Chloe, and the growing tension between Clark and Zod as the Kandorian storyline takes some serious turns. Between the laughs, the sweet Clark and Lois moments, and the bigger Superman story unfolding, this Valentine’s Day episode was an absolute blast to revisit!📺 WATCH GOING BACK TO SMALLVILLE ON YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/show/VLPL0gHHg-xQBVNIZBqjSOjbPUuwh_wtWZdV?sbp=QAE%3D❤️ SUPPORT THE SHOWPatreon: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a YouTube Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/join🛍️ HOPEFULLY AWESOME MERCHhttps://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/📒 SHOW NOTES AND RESOURCESChapters0:00 -Going Back To Smallville - 9x133:43 -Persuasion Review16:24 -War!
