FOLCs Forever: A Lois & Clark Rewatch Podcast

S1E12 - All Shook Up: "Not Close Close, But Close"

Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 12: All Shook Up!
An asteroid is headed toward Earth, and with less than a week until impact, Superman flies into space to stop it. But when he ends up hurtling back toward Metropolis with a raging case of amnesia, will he be able to remember who he is in time? (With Lois's help? Yes, please.)
Meanwhile, Jimmy gets a byline, Cat goes to confession, Lex does a copy/paste of Lois's apartment, Martha pushes Clark off a balcony, and Jonathan hits his son with a baseball bat. 
WE LOVE THIS EPISODE!
 
Our Special Feature this week is A Profile On K Callan, aka the unforgettable Martha Kent!

Extra Extra #3: Looking Back At 1993

Honeymoon In Metropolis was the final (new) Lois & Clark episode to air in 1993, so we thought it would be fun to look back at that entire year! Welcome to our 1993 Retrospective Episode! We're talking about the movies, the TV shows, the songs, the toys, the snacks, the celebrity marriages -- anything and everything. We also have listener input, quizzes, and fun facts about what we were doing that year! (At least one of us got the "Lois" haircut!)
The next time we drop an episode, we'll be into 1994!

S1E11 - Honeymoon In Metropolis: "Sweet Little Chumpy"

Grab a plate of your favorite cuisine and join us for Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 11: Honeymoon In Metropolis!
Lois & Clark are MARRIED? Nah, but they are staying together in the Lexor Hotel honeymoon suite for 3 nights! 
But don't get any ideas about romance, okay? This arrangement is STRICTLY BUSINESS... except for the game playing, the personal conversations, the kissing, the teasing, and that whole thing where Lois sleeps completely nude.
There's also an A plot in there, somewhere, too. Allegedly.

S1E7 - Smart Kids: "Is That A Pig?"

This week we're talking about Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 7: Smart Kids!
Green slime. Pretend money. Headless droids. Postmodernist angst. Clark playing ping-pong. Lois inventing new curse words. YES, it's Smart Kids! Your brain may be telling you that you dislike this episode, but we are here to say that... um... maybe it's slightly better than you remember? 
Come along as we recap the episode and as we ask (and try to answer) the MANY questions that this episode inspires, such as: "Where did that ping-pong table come from?" "Why does Lois randomly say 'borscht'?" "Why is that fourth Smart Kid even there?" and "Is Dr. Carlton the absolute worst?" (Yes. Yes, he is.)
Our special feature this week is: Lois & Clark FANFIC!
