FOLCs Forever: A Lois & Clark Rewatch Podcast

Operation Blackout: The "Army" Episode -- and yet so much more. Premiering on October 30, 1994, Operation Blackout may be the closest L&C ever came to having a true Halloween episode. Consider the scene in which a perfectly-timed power outage coincides with a man in a wig pushing Lois out of her tenth-story-apartment window! Lest we forget that Lois lives on the third story. Meanwhile, from th...

Extra Extra! We Saw Supergirl 👀 (Minor Spoilers Ahead!)   Julie and Jenn are back for a special Extra Extra episode! And this time, we’re diving into our experience seeing Supergirl at an advanced screening!   We’re sharing our immediate reactions fresh from the theater: first impressions, favorite moments, things that surprised us, and a few elements that didn’t totally work for us. We also talk...

Well, one thing's for sure, nobody's gonna be paying much attention to us in this episode, and that's perfectly fine -- because K CALLAN IS HERE! Lois & Clark's one and only Martha Kent joins FOLCS Forever for an hour+ long chat! With important questions such as "Whatever happened to that nude painting from Ides Of Metropolis?" on our must-ask list, we happily get to spend time with the deligh...

Church Of Metropolis -- the episode where we meet Mayson Drake, a bold district attorney who appreciates Clark's "ordinary" side (especially in very warm rooms.) Church of Metropolis -- our introduction to Bill Church, the first of several Churches who'll grace Metropolis with their chaotic presence. Church Of Metropolis -- the episode where, once again, Clark is presumably inside a burning buildi...

It's the episode you've been itching for! Bronson Pinchot is The Prankster, a wacky weapons designer who's set on getting revenge on Lois. Send in the creepy singing puppets, dangerous diamond rings, and scoreboards with Lois's face on them! When the pranks go from annoying to deadly, though, Lois seeks refuge with Clark... in an adorable scene that, at the end of the day, really does make our hea...

SLEEPOVER AT CLARK'S! The Kents are visiting Metropolis so that Jonathan can be distracted out of his grief, and Stuart Hofferman (the titular SOURCE) just needs a safe place to hide. So what if Clark only has one bed in his apartment? Everybody pile in for season 2, episode 3, THE SOURCE! Meanwhile, Jimmy gets jealous (again), Perry does crossword puzzles, Clark fixes copiers, Lois wins races aga...

AWAKE, MY CHILDREN -- Wall Of Sound is here! Some guy with a British accent and a penchant for sound is robbing banks and knocking down buildings. Meanwhile, in a complete coincidence, another guy with a British accent is singing about his "wall of sound" and about buildings crumbling. Wait -- could there be a connection? Indeed. Lenny Stoke, aka "The Sound Man," is our villain of the week, and he...

Season 2 is here, and we're discussing Madame Ex, L&C's second season premiere! The Daily Planet is back in operation! Lois and Clark have returned to their jobs, the newsroom has a brighter vibe, and there are a few new faces around -- a staff psychiatrist (Arianna Carlin), for one, and a new face on... well, Jimmy. Meanwhile, Teri Hatcher does double duty as both Lois AND her sinister lookal...

Heck yeah, it's Lois & Clark Season 2! Uh... what happened to Jimmy? Is Lex really gone? Does the Daily Planet just not have a society column anymore? What's with that ticker tape on the wall? And... no way... not FAX MODEMS ON ALL THE DAILY PLANET COMPUTERS! Join us as we zoom back to the summer of 1994 for that pivotal shift that happened between seasons 1 and 2. The cast got smaller, the ef...

This is not a drill! Chris Demetral ("Jack") was kind enough to join us on the pod to answer our many questions about his character and career! What were Jack and Perry playing on that Gameboy in Fly Hard? Was the earring real? Which L&C actors did he bond with on set? And most importantly -- DID JACK KNOW THAT CLARK = SUPERMAN? We'd tell you more, but it's probably best you just go and listen...

We may have mentioned their names at the beginning of their episodes, but now it's time to give some extra love to the actors who made Lois & Clark's first season so memorable! We have profiles to share on Richard Belzer, Tony Jay, Elizabeth Barondes, Chris Demetral, Miguel Sandoval, and Terence Knox. We also give shout-outs, embark on a search for the elusive Applegate, and pay tribute to all...

We've wrapped on Season 1, and now it's time to CELEBRATE! You are cordially invited to The 1st Annual Cat Grant Memorial FOLCed Up Awards! We're here to give kudos to the cuteness, the cringe, the chaos and the creativity, as we look back over all of Lois & Clark Season 1. Best Cat zinger? Chosen. Worst facial hair? We've got it. Cringiest line? Easy choice. Best kiss? You HAVE to know which...

We've made it to the end of Season 1, and it's time for our 21st Episode Check-In! We chat about the podcasting experience, share some S1 stats (Kisses! Cheek touches! Clark breaking things!), and spill all the details on our upcoming Extra Extra episodes! (Spoiler alert: One of us WILL be donning yellow feathers.) 🐤🐤 Thank you for listening to FOLCs Forever this season, and we hope you'll join...

Ah, The House Of Luthor. Yes, Lex Tower is a pretty neat place. It's got hidden wine cellars, trap-doored ceilings, glowing green cages, ample space for wedding ceremonies, a secret elevator, an excellent sound system, and -- DID YOU KNOW? -- it's the tallest building in Metropolis?! (Lex may have mentioned it once or twice.) The wedding between Lex and Lois is quickly approaching, and Clark &...

It's hard to believe we're already to Barbarians at the Planet, the first in a two-part, angst-filled, drama-ridden, window-shattering showdown, with an ending so WHAMmy, it's a wonder anyone wanted to come back for the next episode. (We jest... we totally wanted more!) Lex Luthor, intent on securing Lois, sets off to destroy everything that matters to her. Meanwhile, Clark decides it's time to te...

Today we're talking Season 1, Episode 19: Fly Hard, an episode that builds a strong case against going into work on the weekend. When a gang of baddies raids the Daily Planet in search of a Prohibition-Era treasure, the DP crew (and Lex) are taken prisoner. References to Die Hard abound as Clark struggles to save all his friends (and Lex) from harm. Meanwhile, Lois insists on playing the Chaotic c...

We're talking S1E18, Vatman, and once again, Lex is up to no good. He's created a clone of Superman and is raising him to kill the real Superman. Spoiler alert: He succeeds, and we're stuck with Supes #2 for the rest of the series. :( Of course we're kidding. That would be terrible. Which is to say, the clone is terrible. Please, showrunners... promise us -- no more clones? Ever? Anywayyy, join us...

Put on your special red Santa suit, step away from the basket of Secret Santa names (Jimmy), and get ready for anything but a dumb, drippy, kissy-face Christmas! We're celebrating the winter holidays -- and those three Christmasy L&C episodes (gimme the space rats!) We also discuss Teri Hatcher's 2023 Lifetime movie Christmas At The Chalet, challenge each other with Lois & Clark quizzes, a...

Lois and Clark are just friends. Nothing more between them. So... why does Lois get wildly jealous when her ex-friend starts romantically pursuing Clark, hmm? Maybe it's because the writers knew we'd love watching Lois jump on Clark's bed, start a fight at a press conference, squeak "How can you be so calm?" and discover Perry hiding in Clark's magical closet. Yes, this week we're talking about Th...

In this first-season treasure, we're introduced to the cutest character to ever appear on the show (except for maybe baby Clark in Tempus Fugitive) -- iiiit's Jack! We're talking about S1E16, Foundling! Remember that Kryptonian globe Clark found way back in Strange Visitor? It starts to glow and chatter, and -- whoops -- suddenly it's gone. It soon falls into the hands of Lex Luthor, who, let's fa...

The Ides Of Metropolis: Or, The One With the Gigantic Nude Painting of Clark's Mom! In this fan, um, non-favorite, ALL THE COMPUTERS become infected with a virus, and only Superman and his floppy-disk-transporting powers can save the day! Meanwhile, Lois harbors an escaped convict, Martha might be having an affair, and Lex gets philosophical -- and then accidentally kills someone.  We rarely rewat...

It seems unbelievable, but here we are at our 14th Episode Check-In! After we recorded "Illusions of Grandeur," we came together to talk about all the L&C news that's come our way in the past few months and to chat a little more about our podcasting adventures. But wait -- there's more! Jenn leads a Q&A, and Molly presents a game of "Already Happened... Or Still To Come?" (Want to play alo...

Illusions of Grandeur: In this fan favorite, Superman goes for a nice Sunday flight, Lois goes swimming, Clark buys Lois flowers, Jimmy achieves his journalistic ambitions, Cat meets a nice (wealthy) man, and everyone has a great time! No, you haven't been hypnotized -- and yes, we're kidding. This episode is a load of borscht and we all know it. And yet, we're here to cover it just the same! Get...
