FOLCs Forever: A Lois & Clark Rewatch Podcast

S1E18 - Vatman: "You're My SON!"

We're talking S1E18, Vatman, and once again, Lex is up to no good. He's created a clone of Superman and is raising him to kill the real Superman. Spoiler alert: He succeeds, and we're stuck with Supes #2 for the rest of the series. :(
Of course we're kidding. That would be terrible. Which is to say, the clone is terrible. Please, showrunners... promise us -- no more clones? Ever?
Anywayyy, join us for some split-screen shenanigans and wacky doings, including but not limited to: Lex giving Supes2 a piggyback ride! Clark walking on the ceiling! Lois throwing pasta! Perry jumping off a bridge! And Jimmy, dear Jimmy, losing his mind!
 
Our Special Feature this week is: (Unofficial) Lois & Clark Fan Clubs!

S1E17 - The Rival: "The Fudge Castle"

Lois and Clark are just friends. Nothing more between them. So... why does Lois get wildly jealous when her ex-friend starts romantically pursuing Clark, hmm? Maybe it's because the writers knew we'd love watching Lois jump on Clark's bed, start a fight at a press conference, squeak "How can you be so calm?" and discover Perry hiding in Clark's magical closet.
Yes, this week we're talking about The Rival! And that ex-friend is Linda King, the first of many "pals from Lois's college days" to pop up on the show. Linda lies, she steals, she seduces, and she'll scoop your story right out from under you. And sure, Metropolis Star magnate Preston Carpenter is here, too, trying to take over Metropolis and eventually the world, but... is he even the real villain of this episode?

S1E16 - Foundling: "Read The Manual, Gramps"

In this first-season treasure, we're introduced to the cutest character to ever appear on the show (except for maybe baby Clark in Tempus Fugitive) -- iiiit's Jack!
We're talking about S1E16, Foundling!
Remember that Kryptonian globe Clark found way back in Strange Visitor? It starts to glow and chatter, and -- whoops -- suddenly it's gone. It soon falls into the hands of Lex Luthor, who, let's face it, doesn't need more stuff! I don't care how many underground lairs he has! But -- fear not, because when the stakes are high, that globe can fly!
In other news, L&C get nominated for their first joint award, Jimmy and Cat pore over their family trees, and Perry gets called Gramps -- which we're sure in no way influences any of his actions three episodes from now. 
 
Our Special Feature this week is: All About Tracy Scoggins!

S1E15 - The Ides of Metropolis - "In The Nude"

The Ides Of Metropolis: Or, The One With the Gigantic Nude Painting of Clark's Mom!
In this fan, um, non-favorite, ALL THE COMPUTERS become infected with a virus, and only Superman and his floppy-disk-transporting powers can save the day! Meanwhile, Lois harbors an escaped convict, Martha might be having an affair, and Lex gets philosophical -- and then accidentally kills someone. 
We rarely rewatch this episode, but we're glad we did, because it turns out... Ides has some hidden gems! Clever throwbacks to The Pilot... hints about things to come later in the season... a preview of what married life might look like for Lois & Clark in the far future... not to mention some rare, sweet moments with Clark and his dad. 
Of course, we also started noticing that Lois's fish tank badly needs cleaning, so, you know... "enthralling," Ides is not. OUR recap, on the other hand? A total blast (if we do say so ourselves.) So come on and have a listen!
 
Our Special Feature this week is: Jenn's Visits to the WB Studios in 1995 and 1996!

It seems unbelievable, but here we are at our 14th Episode Check-In!

Finally, we look forward to the next 7 episodes, and the thrilling conclusion of Lois & Clark: Season 1!

S1E14 - Illusions of Grandeur: "That's Brilliant, Jimmy"

Illusions of Grandeur: In this fan favorite, Superman goes for a nice Sunday flight, Lois goes swimming, Clark buys Lois flowers, Jimmy achieves his journalistic ambitions, Cat meets a nice (wealthy) man, and everyone has a great time!
No, you haven't been hypnotized -- and yes, we're kidding. This episode is a load of borscht and we all know it. And yet, we're here to cover it just the same! Get ready for a bonkers midseason episode, complete with magic boxes, magicians, hypnosis, a memorable slide scene, plus three kids and a cow (but not the one who went to Clark's college.)
