FOLCs Forever: A Lois & Clark Rewatch Podcast

S1E6 - I've Got A Crush On You: "Professional But Naughty"

This week we're talking about Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 6: I've Got A Crush On You!
Toss your high heels in the freezer and get out the ice cream, because this is a good one! (Well, maybe not for Lois's ego.)
Lois and Clark go undercover at the Metro Club to try and figure out who's starting fires in the West River District. Can Clark handle having TWO secret identities? Can Lois keep a straight face while wearing yellow feathers and a chicken headdress? Should putting facial hair on Clark be a punishable offense?
Come for the heat metaphors, stay for the sports metaphors, and don't chicken out on us, because our special feature this week is: Teri Hatcher's Singing Endeavors! Julie also brings us all the scoop on the bizarre plotlines from the original script!

S1E5 - Requiem For A Superhero: "Bertha Likes Boxing"

This week we're talking about Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 5: Requiem For A Superhero!
Yes, FOLCs, it's "the boxing episode." We like it almost as much as Clark likes playing Poker sans powers.
Perry officially teams up Lois and Clark, then assigns them a story about an upcoming big-deal boxing match. Lois's dad is involved in a boxing scandal and... oh yeah, Lois has a dad! Other surprises in this episode include: Clark likes boxing! Also, Lex has a dog! (Though we suspect Metropolis may have some kind of Rent-A-Pet situation going on.) Also, Perry has extreme emotions! (Watch out, newsroom!)
Requiem For A Superhero: Come for the episode commentary, stay for Clark destroying property!
 
Fun fact: this episode's screenwriter has exactly one credit on the imdb: This episode.
 
Our special feature this week is: John Shea!

S1E4 - I'm Looking Through You: "Picnic In The Clouds"

This week we're discussing Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 4: I'm Looking Through You!
Grab your lucky pen and a cup of lapsang souchong and join us as we explore the nuances of Being Invisible vs. Appearing Invisible vs. Feeling Invisible! 
An "invisible man" (Leslie Jordan) is robbing catering trucks in Metropolis, much to the chagrin of his sweet wife (Patrika Darbo), who enlists the help of Lois and Clark.
Meanwhile, Superman gets auctioned off to go on a sky picnic. (How does that work?) The important thing is that Superman brought in more money than Lex. Take that, Luthor!
Clark sees something shocking when Lois's bathrobe slips open! But don't get too excited... we're only on episode four.
In other news, Lois almost dies (again) but Superman busts through a wall and saves her (again). Just another day in Metropolis!
 
Our special feature this week is: The Warner Bros. Studio Store!!
