Published: May 9, 2020, 9 p.m.

Originally Aired Sunday, July 21st 2019This week we continue our Journey through the Superman District by taking a look at 2001\u2019s Smallville. Is this a good series to watch if you\u2019re new to Superman? Is it worth your time? Our opinions may surprise you.\n\xa0\nTimestamps and Summaries\n2:16\xa0Recap of our journey through the Superman District of Planet Geekery\n8:01\xa0Did we like Smallville? Disclaimer \u2013 We only watched the first 5 episodes of this series due to the length of the series. Overall, we thought it was a good series, but the age of the actors playing freshmen in High School really threw us off. The question becomes, how badly did it throw us off? Would we want to watch more?\n25:00\xa0We take time to speculate what all was on television during the release of this series that made people say, \u201cWow we want more Smallville.\u201d\n28:04\xa0This is the point of the show where we evaluate this rendition of \u201cSuperman/Clark Kent\u201d\n31:28\xa0\u2013 Commercial Break with\xa0Retro Rewind Podcast\xa0Make sure to go check out their fantastic podcast!\n32:06\xa0Our evaluation of Lana Lang\u2026. Normally we evaluate the performance of Lois Lane, but she wasn\u2019t present in the first 5 episodes of Smallville.\n35:26\xa0We boil our conversation down to our final question, \u201cIs Smallville worth watching if you\u2019re new to Superman?\u201d We had some good things to say and some negative things to say.\n38:29\xa0Announcements\n________\nWe want to give a very special thank you to the Devoted Patreon Geeks who help to support Geek Devotions on a monthly basis: Francisco Ruiz, Adam Arciniega, Cody McGurk, Erin Straus, Andrew Markham, Paul Turner, Jacob Russel, Eric Willson, Mike Alderman
