Hey Smallville fans, hope everyone had a great Christmas and are looking forward to a great New Year’s this week!
In case you haven’t heard the latest episode of Starkville’s House of El, we wanted to bring you up to speed. In January, Craig Byrne of Kryptonsite and Derek Russell of Starkville’s House of El will be facing off in an epic battle of Smallville trivia, with charities and even you benefitting from this! Donations can be made via Paypal at msuhouseofel@gmail.com towards this drive, and all funds will be donated towards several charities including Heshima Kenya and The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The top three highest donations will win a Smallville prize pack courtesy of SHoE and Kryptonsite after donations have closed on January 15th. On that date, the episode will be released and the money will be donated. You can also have a hand in picking questions for SHoE host and Trivia moderator Steve Glosson to ask, ranging from five categories that you can hear in the latest episode of SHoE #138.5.
So what’re you waiting for? Get to emailing in your questions! Get to donating in for great causes! And get ready to hear one of the most fun episodes of Starkville’s House of El ever!

Before we continue, let me explain myself a bit. The work load I have experienced during this season of Smallville has been quite heavy. I had every intention of commenting on *each* and every episode, but it simply became impractical to do so. Writing the best music I possibly can is my highest priority, and that means that other projects, such as this blog, have been put on the back burner. I will do my very best to write as many of these “entries” as I can (I truly enjoy doing so), but covering every episode will not be possible. Alright then, let’s start catching up a bit with the following entry…“Rabid”…
Zombies. A composer’s dream come true. Creepy and horrifying, they’re perfect in their simplicity. No subtle shadings of emotion there, just panic, horror and gooey drool. So why was I having to *think* so much about this score?

Here we are again with a SHoE File of epic proportions. General Zod has been a character in the DC Universe for a very long time dating back to the the early 1960’s. While he wasn’t used very much in the beginning, Zod has become one of Superman’s most formidable adversaries over the years and as of late even an ally in the comics. The character and look of Zod is most defined by Superman I & II. Those movies are really what gave Zod the exposure to make him a mainstream character. His famous line “Kneel before Zod” has definitely become a part of pop culture. Smallville has had a few different incarnations of Zod inorevious seasons, but season 9 has given us the corporeal form of the character on the show. Let’s get into this character and see what his history is.

Plagued by not having been together, alone for an episode in months – this happens. Steve and Derek, uncut. While there’s still plenty of Smallville talk inside, you can get that in your regular episode. But if you’re looking for hi-jinks, laughter, and off the wall topics that don’t even make sense to us, you’ve come to the right place. SHoE Uncut is your place to hear what really happens before, during, and after the Starkville House of El recording sessions. Enjoy!

We had a great time discussing the mid-season finale ‘Pandora’ last Friday night after the episode aired, and now you can join in on the fun! Derek and guest host Joe Hummrich of The 10th Wonder podcast led a live show with viewers mere hours after ‘Pandora’ aired to discuss it and all the questions we were left with after. You’ll notice this doesn’t sound like a regular episode of SHoE; ‘Pandora’ Part 2 will be your more familiar type recap of events with host Steve Glosson. Since there’s no AAC, we’ll alert you that around the 2hr mark we start discussing spoilers, and the trailer aired for 2010 at the end of the episode. Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian Peterson recently had an interview with TV Guide writer and SHoE guest host Damian Holbrook to discuss the direction of the remainder of season 9 and the possibilities of a season 10. While the interview was filled with tasty morsels of Smallville news, there is nothing here that I feel would spoil you for the rest of the season. If you are interested to know about Zod, Absolute Justice, or if we will see Clark will fly just click the link for the summarized interview.
