Check out the latest Digging for Kryptonite: A Superman Fan Journey with Zach! 🎙
🔥 IN PRAISE OF JOHN SHEA! This week on “The LOIS & CLARK TV Mixtapes,” Zach Moore from Always Hold On To Smallville joins me to give John Shea his flowers for a truly standout Lex Luthor performance across the series.
We discuss the charisma and magnetism Shea imbued in his Lex; the character's Post-Crisis inspiration, worldview, and tactics in Season 1; an unlikely, yet believable, romance with Lois; his unhinged but satisfying returns to the show, including as the mastermind of the notorious frog-eating clone arc; and the legacy of the character via his underlings and illegitimate children.
PLUS! In a special epilogue, first-time guest Stuart Mulrain (And Why Not? podcast) tags in to spotlight Lois & Clark's highly effective pilot and its adaptation of the Post-Crisis Superman comics by John Byrne and more.
This run of episodes has been an absolute blast. (Just wait until you hear the villain draft in a couple of weeks!) Don’t miss any of it. 🎧 NOW!
