After a shaky and disappointing Supergirl in theaters, can Lanterns right the ship of DC adaptations? Or is James Gunn's new universe burning up before it even takes off?

It's about a couple of space cops: Kyle Chandler plays Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, a grizzled, impulsive old-timer reluctantly training up his backup, John Stewart (Aaron Pierre).

The new DCU series starring **Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan** and **Aaron Pierre as John Stewart** reportedly pulled in **9.3 million viewers during its opening days**, giving James Gunn's DC Universe another major talking point. On today's **Kristian Harloff Show**, we break down the Lanterns debut and what these numbers could mean for the future of **Green Lantern**, HBO, and the larger **DCU**. Plus, **Charles Melton** has landed a major role in the live-action **Naruto** movie, potentially explaining the recent reports surrounding his status with Marvel Studios' **X-Men** reboot. Could this be why Melton may no longer be playing **Beast** in the MCU? **Masters of the Universe** is also finding new life on streaming after reportedly topping the Nielsen charts. Could the strong streaming performance be enough to revive sequel conversations?

Roxy Striar and Mike Kalinowski are taking over The Kristian Harloff Show today to break down the biggest stories in Marvel, DC, and Hollywood! The main conversation centers on Avengers: Doomsday and whether Marvel Studios' massive December event movie could actually shatter the box office records recently set by Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, the Avengers assembling alongside characters from the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and anticipation continuing to build, just how big can Avengers: Doomsday get? Roxy and Mike discuss whether Doomsday could become a historic box office event and potentially challenge the biggest movies of all time. Marvel is also preparing audiences for Doomsday in a big way. Disney has revealed a pre-Avengers: Doomsday watchlist, while new information about Marvel Studios' 2028 slate gives us a better idea of where the MCU could be heading after Doomsday and toward Avengers: Secret Wars. We'll combine both stories to discuss Marvel's larger strategy and the future of the MCU. Then it's time for a LANTERNS SPOILER REVIEW! Roxy and Mike dive into HBO and DC Studios' Lanterns, discussing the series with full spoilers, the biggest moments, what worked, what didn't, and what it means for the larger DCU. They also discuss Kyle Chandler revealing that Lanterns nearly went in a very different direction when it came to superhero suits. ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: The Lanterns discussion will contain spoilers. Finally, the writer of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has spoken out about DC's Supergirl movie following its theatrical run. What happened with the film, and what does its performance mean for the future of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU?

Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic — Lanterns opens strong with an episode that manages to slip in a ton of expositional Green Lantern lore, an intriguing small town mystery, a bunch colorful characters all pushing against each other's edges (with some fantastic actors playing them), all while asking some deeper questions about human nature, and even throwing in a few jokes that actually made us laugh.

It's beautiful, brilliant, funny, gripping, mysterious, thrilling, thought-provoking, and meticulously crafted in every way. Hosted by Jason and Karen's innies. Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen. IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, with Pennywise stalking the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elm Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!

Only one way to find out. In this first ep we get introduced to our characters and experience a ton of lore and exposition, all delivered smoothly and well. The ending is quite the shocker, and we have our theories, but we're so excited to see how it all plays out that we'd be happy to be wrong!Before the recap and review we discuss MCU Peter Parker's virginity, we puzzle over why Welcome to Derry season 2 took so long to come together, we find out who grifted Gillian Anderson and I wax rhapsodic about Reese's Peanut Butter Oreos.

Morgan Hampton joins Jace at the DC booth during San Diego Comic-Con 2026 to talk about his run on Green Lantern Corps and the character-first approach that has helped him put a new spotlight on Guy Gardner. Morgan explains why Guy's abrasive personality is really a mask, how digging into the character's history completely changed the way he feels about writing him, and why he wanted to explore what exists underneath all that attitude. They also dive into the ambitious landscape-format issue, the black-hole concept that allowed Morgan to experiment with space and time on the page, expanding the emotional spectrum and turning its entities into characters rather than abstract concepts, the challenge of juggling Green Lantern Corps' enormous cast and why the series could be an accessible entry point for new readers discovering the Green Lantern universe.

Fantastical Truth
324. Why Does Spider-Man Keep Saving the Day for Superhero Cinema?

Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Does whatever other heroes can't. And these days, that means make a good movie. Other super-movies, even in the Marvel world, take on the fake responsibilities of social activism, then are forced to fight the sinister criticism of fans. Meanwhile, Spidey and his amazing friends just keep uniting people in his friendly cinematic neighborhood. How does one hero keep wielding such great power? Episode sponsors Enclave Publishing: Winter’s Dawn by Morgan L. Busse Realm Makers fundraiser for ongoing defamation lawsuit The Talismiths: The Secret Saboteur by M. L. Hodder King Justice: The Legend Begins by Evelyn M. Exley Mission update New at Lorehaven: The Shattered Ones book quest has begun. Subscribe free to get updates and join the Lorehaven Guild. 1. Superhero movies are fighting off villains. Just last week we heard of more cancelled Marvel movie projects. With some exceptions, the MCU has flopped on streaming screens. Apart from quality, fans discerned a stench of Agenda moments. Perfect-storm also struck with Jonathan Majors cast controversies. Unlike older movies, fans follow every detail, leak, and rumor. And like Spider-Man's powers, internet is our gift and is our curse. Meanwhile, DC's latest reboot can't even get off the ground. DC is cancelling and delaying projects as a buyout draws nigh. In the past, DC has proven actively hostile to particular fans. Official statements and books isolate and mock certain versions. For instance, The LEGO Movie mocked Green Lantern the hero. In another case, an official Superman book criticized Zack Snyder. In both universes, fanbases are divided, politicized, anti-heroic. It feels like they're pitting fan “denominations” against each other. As a late famous comic creator famously uttered, “ ‘Nough said.” 2. But everybody loves one friendly hero. Meanwhile, over in the Spiderverse corner of the Marvel world … Corporate heads, marketeers, and actors alike are unifying for this. Consider one recent GQ stunt with Brand New Day actors at trivia. (‘Ware language.) Actors were asked about many Spidey versions. In this universe, every story gets canonized and respected equally. This follows No Way Home's blend of previous film characters. But for DC, they've tried to purge all previous versions except one. This unifying approach helps fans love all Spider-Man versions. Whether you like Tobey, Andrew, or Tom, you can celebrate Spidey! So it's not political. Now fans can have fun doing compare/contrast. This ends up more like denominations who unify in essential faith. (And yet that only goes so far. Holland won't meet Madame Webb.) 3. The rise of self-aware yet sincere stories. This year we've seen a wonderful increase of truly good films. Three come from Amazon/MGM: Project Hail Mary, The Sheep Detectives, and even Masters of the Universe all work so well. Jenneth Leed praised Hail Mary's earnest optimism and hope. This is “metamodern,” a flavor beyond modern and postmodern. Now we've faced real-life dystopia, war, political unrest, and a divided society. More people long for the hope of modernism, but aren't so naïve to think life doesn't come with the complexities postmodernism criticized. So instead of embracing one philosophy over another, metamodernism combines the best features of both. This approach keeps the self-awareness, irony, and subversions of expectations. But these stories also value hope, sincere themes, and admirable heroes. In fact, one working definition for metamodern storytelling may be, “Delivering a sincere theme about life in a self-aware or absurd premise.” Note: this isn't the same as flippant stories that claim “optimism.” And it's a whole galaxy far from stories ashamed of their nature. Stephen has loved “metamodern” stories wherever they appear. The Tick and Galaxy Quest also skewer tropes yet stay sincere. Even the original Superman: The Movie (1978) does this so well. Do note Richard Donner's out-loud commitment to verisimilitude. So do Sam Raimi's and Marc Webb's two Spider-Man film series. And one detects much of this in Lord and Miller's Spiderverse Brand New Day will likely follow in these wall-crawling footsteps. We've had enough division over clashing canons and flippancy. Through other reboots and controversies, Spidey stays faithful! And if other Marvel and DC films do the same, they can unify fans. Com station Top question for listeners What do you love about sincere superhero stories? Next on Fantastical Truth Christian kids, do you remember all those old warnings against fantasy fiction? Some people implied that if you made up too much stuff, you'd lose track of reality. Alas. For some cases, they’re absolutely right. Too many people are abusing God's gift of imagination. They cast people they do not know as villains in a fantasy world in which they are the big moral heroes. This habit is taking over social media. And now this sin is hurting faithful creators we know. How can Christian fans respond?
