This week Zach is joined by fellow Superman fan Mike Krause to look beneath the surface (...get it?) of the fourth episode of Smallville, "X-Ray." Along the way they discuss Smallville's spiritual predecessor: Superboy, the mechanics of shape-shifting, live action Lex Luthors and how Lana is a surprisingly three-dimensional character in the early going.
