February 26th, 2010 by Steve | 10 Comments
This week Derek and Media Junkyard co-host Robin (aka the boy wonder) bring you a look at what Kandorians do on their day off, in ‘Persuasion’. There is a LOT to talk about in this one and judging by the clock, only a few hours in which to do so before ‘Conspiracy’ airs, so get listening! We talk about the episode in detail as well as our hopes and fears for season 10 of Smallville.
