Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for the June installment of their TV podcast. This time the brothers are talking about the Smallville series finale, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Coincidently, the series premiere will celebrate its 20th anniversary later this year.

Smallville is a retelling of Superman\u2019s origin, focusing on Clark Kent\u2019s high school years and early adulthood, largely set in the hero\u2019s hometown of Smallville, Kansas. The series premiered October 16, 2001 on The WB. During the show\u2019s 217-episode run, The WB merged with UPN to create The CW, where Smallville continued until its tenth season. The two-part series finale aired on May 13, 2011.

In the series Clark (Tom Welling, Lucifer) faces many challenges, such as fighting supervillains and balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his desire for a normal life. One of his adversaries is Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum, Justice League Unlimited), with whom he forges a friendship before a falling out. Clark\u2019s allies include his adoptive parents, Jonathan (John Schneider, The Dukes of Hazzard) and Martha (Annette O\u2019Toole, Superman III), his high school friend Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack, Wilfred), and Oliver Queen AKA Green Arrow (Justin Hartley, This Is Us). Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) and Lois Lane (Erica Durance, Saving Hope) serve as Clark\u2019s love interests, as they do in the comics.

Aaron and Josh go into when they first saw Smallville and their feelings on the show as a whole before breaking down each element of the series finale. The brothers also discuss the series\u2019 legacy and its crossover with The CW\u2019s Crisis on Infinite Earths.

For Josh and Aaron\u2019s opinions on another take on Superman, you can listen to their podcast on Superman II.

Smallville is streaming on Hulu.
