S1E19 - Fly Hard: "Weekend In Handcuffs"

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 card, while Lex just does whatever the hell he wants (classic Lex!) Some people try to be heroes (good effort, Jimmy!), some just make things worse (LEX), and -- in the end -- an unlikely hero emerges. (Her name? Elvira.) Join us as we discuss this action-packed, adorably flawed episode!
