John Shea as LEX LUTHOR on LOIS & CLARK (The L&C Mixtapes Vol. II)
View Transcript
Episode Description
Host Anthony Desiato and guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) dig into the character of Lex Luthor as portrayed by actor John Shea in Season 1 of LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, as well as impactful return appearances in the following seasons.
Anthony and Zach discuss the charisma and magnetism Shea imbued in his Lex; the character's Post-Crisis inspiration, worldview, and tactics; an unlikely, yet believable, romance with Lois; his unhinged but satisfying returns to the show, including as the mastermind of the notorious frog-eating clone arc; and the legacy of the character via his underlings and illegitimate children.
PLUS! In a special epilogue, Anthony welcomes first-time guest Stuart Mulrain (And Why Not? podcast) to shine a spotlight on Lois & Clark's standout pilot and its adaptation of the Post-Crisis Superman comics by John Byrne and more.
