Clark Kent finally gets his cape—and we’re talking all about it. In this episode of our Smallville rewatch podcast, we dive into Season 7, Episode 5, “Action,” where a superhero movie shoot in Smallville leads to real danger, a stalker plot, and one of the most symbolic moments in Clark’s journey toward becoming Superman. We break down the behind-the-scenes chaos, Clark’s reluctant heroism, and that emotional cape scene that hits harder than you’d expect. Join us for laughs, deep cuts, and plenty of DC nostalgia.
