Article arrow_drop_down

Just in time to coincide with the TalkVille Podcast‘s discussion of the Smallville Season 3 episode “Talisman,” the original Smallville podcast, Starkville’s House of El (SHoE), has released a clip from the John Schneider-directed episode that has been in the vault for 20 years!

The long-deleted scene features Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor and John Glover as Lionel, so you know it will be good, but more importantly, there are things discussed in this clip that really would have propelled the story forward and created more discussions as the series would progress. It’s a fantastic watch, and hey, it’s Smallville content that’s new to us! You can watch it below, and be sure to find more SHoE – classic and new – at smallvillepodcast.com.
