FOLCs Forever: A Lois & Clark Rewatch Podcast

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?

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!

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! After we recorded "Illusions of Grandeur," we came together to talk about all the L&C news that's come our way in the past few months and to chat a little more about our podcasting adventures. But wait -- there's more! Jenn leads a Q&A, and Molly presents a game of "Already Happened... Or Still To Come?" (Want to play along? Grab a paper and pencil!) Finally, we look forward to the next 7 episodes, and the thrilling conclusion of Lois & Clark: Season 1!

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!

Be sure to check out the Adventures Of Superman episode "Panic In The Sky," which inspired this episode. If this link works: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6sndey great! But if not, just google "Watch Adventures Of Superman Panic In The Sky," and (as Lex apparently always reminds himself) hope for the best.

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!
