Steph and Kara review the iconic millennial take on Superman’s origin story in Smallville.

Steph and Kara review this iconic millennial take on Superman’s origin story. First, a meteor shower in Smallville, Kansas, alters the lives of this small town’s residents forever. Lana Lang loses her parents. Lex Luthor loses his hair. And Jonathan and Martha Kent adopt a boy who really isn’t from around here. Years later, that boy has grown up to become Tom Welling, and it’s time for the world to meet his abs. Then, Lana Lang is That Girl. She has a drawer full of awards to prove it. Unfortunately, this also means she’s prone to being kidnapped, and when bug guy Greg sets his sights on her, she needs somebody to saaaaaaave her, and Clark thinks he might be The One.
