How far can you change an iconic hero before you lose what made that hero iconic?Alex and Chris turn their attention to HBO's LANTERNS and the enormous challenge of writing characters with decades of history, millions of fans, and more than one accepted interpretation.Drawing upon the first three episodes, they examine the new portrayals of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the show's multiple layers of mystery, and Chris's intriguing theory that Hal may be less of a troublesome veteran and more of a “Space Columbo.”But the larger question is one every writer working with an established property must face: What do you preserve, what can you change, and when does creative reinvention become disrespect for the source?Alex brings the perspective of a writer who has worked with Batman, Superman, Tarzan, Archie, Scooby-Doo, Sherlock Holmes, and other established characters. Together, he and Chris explore the responsibilities writers have to the story, the characters, the owners—and the audience.Is LANTERNS pulling off a daring act of narrative sleight of hand, or setting itself up for a spectacular pratfall?SPOILER WARNING: The episode discusses events from the first three episodes of LANTERNS.Have any questions, comments, or suggestions?Then, please leave them in the Comments Section.Write: TTDSOnAir@gmail.comAnd follow us on ...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.TellTheDamnStory.comwww.Facebook.com/Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/ Tell The Damn Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stories change lives.

O Reflix 184 está no ar e Brunão e Baconzitos mergulham no episódio 3 de LANTERNAS, que finalmente revela o passado de John Stewart.

It's Greg's birthday stream!!

On this episode, we check out the latest HBO prestige neo-noir series Lanterns, based on the DC comic series about space cops who can manifest anything with the power of their willpower and powered rings. Lanterns follows veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan and his trainee John Stewart, as they investigate a small town mass murder that quickly unravels into an interstellar conspiracy.What's Popping? - Coyote vs. Acme, The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, MurderbotFollow our hosts:Marvin Yueh - @marvinyuehJess Ju - @jessjutweetsHanh Nguyen - @hanhonymousFollow the show and engage with us at @goodpopclubPart of the Potluck Podcast CollectiveProduced by HappyEcstatic Media

In this episode, the fellas are joined by special guest Jamboy, and they discuss football season being upon us in the pro and college ranks, expectations for the Commanders, Giants and Vikings, the catfish not being delicious on "The Varnell Hill Show,' John Stewart, Sr. replacing Ba as "No. 1 Dad" on "Lanterns," people being weird about Jasmine Crockett and of course, that bamma that was faking like he played for the 49ers. 

John Stewart knows exactly why him to become the next Green Lantern since he was a baby, and Hal Jordan unknowingly helped his replacement get chosen.Jay breaks down John's powerful origin story, the racial meaning behind his fearlessness, Jasmine Cephas Jones standout performance as Bernadette, and the Guardians secret agenda. Listen to Episode 3 of No Light Escapes: A Lanterns Podcast

HBO's Lanterns has officially arrived — and somehow, it's even better than we expected. Kaya and I Ken Not podcast host Kendrick are joined by special guest Ryan Bailey of So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey to break down the first three episodes of Lanterns HBO and DC Studios' new take on the Green Lantern universe starring Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan.We came into Lanterns with high expectations, but the series has already exceeded them. Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are fantastic as two Green Lanterns who could not be more different. John Stewart is controlled, observant and determined to prove himself, while Hal Jordan is an experienced, stubborn veteran carrying secrets of his own. That clash makes their partnership — and their performances — one of the strongest parts of the series. **SPOILERS AHEAD for Lanterns Episodes 1–3!** We break down the mystery introduced in Episode 1, as Hal is tasked with training John and the two head to Rushville, Nebraska, where a bizarre case involving dead extraterrestrials begins to reveal something much bigger.The episode also jumps through time and gives us the shocking revelation that Hal Jordan is dead in 2026, immediately turning the season into a mystery about not only what happened in Rushville, but what eventually happened to Hal. In Episode 2, “Trust Fall,” the investigation expands as John and Hal learn more about the terrifying Manhunter threat potentially hiding in Rushville. While working separately, we also begin to see just how different their approaches to being Green Lanterns really are — and why trusting each other may be as important as solving the case. Then Episode 3, “OutKast,” takes us deep into John Stewart's origin story. Through his unusual Green Lantern interview and flashbacks to his childhood and military career, we learn how John was shaped by his family, his experiences as a Black man in America and the expectations placed on him long before he ever wore the ring. We also discover that the Guardians may have much bigger plans for John — including the revelation that he isn't simply being recruited to work alongside Hal. And this is exactly why we think you don't have to be a superhero fan to love Lanterns. If you're a fan of strong acting, complicated characters, mystery and genuinely good storytelling, there is something here for you.We also get into some of the conversation happening around the show — including the sudden attempts to rewrite history around Ryan Reynolds' 2011 Green Lantern movie now that Lanterns is being praised, and why some viewers seem uncomfortable with the new series directly acknowledging the realities of being Black in America through John Stewart's story. Is Lanterns already proving that the DCU can tell superhero stories that feel completely different from traditional comic-book television?Are Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler the perfect John Stewart and Hal Jordan? And after Episodes 1–3… where exactly is this mystery taking us?

Lanterns just aired the episode; showrunner Chris Mundy has been calling his Emmy episode, and Frank and Thomas spend the first half of the show pulling it apart. The John Stewart flashback rewrites his origin, leaves Hal Jordan looking like a jerk, and puts fear, race, and family expectation at the center of what it takes to carry a ring. Then the guys move to the GTA 6 gameplay reveal that Rockstar dropped on Netflix before YouTube. Ten years of development, a two billion dollar budget, an 80 hour campaign, and a map three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, plus relationship and fitness systems that quietly punish you for neglecting them. Frank and Thomas also read listener comments on the Lanterns episode, run through network news, compare notes on where they are in Dungeon Crawler Carl, and close with picks of the week. CHAPTERS 00:00 Which Avenger Would Make the Best Green Lantern 02:42 Lanterns Episode 3 and the John Stewart Origin 09:00 Willpower, Fear, and the Question the Show Keeps Asking Wrong 17:41 Listener Comments on the Lanterns Episode 24:18 GTA 6 Reveal: Two Billion Dollars, 80 Hours, and a Map Three Times Red Dead 2 30:09 Car Alarms, Surveillance, and 600,000 NPC Animations 34:25 Network News and Dungeon Crawler Carl Book Five 41:07 Picks of the Week: Geoff Johns Green Lantern and Dimension 20 WHAT WE COVER Both hosts rate the Lanterns flashback near perfect on writing and performances, and both admit it changed how they read Hal Jordan. Frank says the episode was not aimed at him, and that watching Black viewers respond to it told him more than the episode alone did. The show asks recruits whether they are afraid. The comics, going back to Geoff Johns' 2005 run, ask whether your will can overcome the fear you already have. Frank and Thomas think the show is asking the wrong version on purpose, and that the season is retelling the Rebirth era transition in a grounded way. Jonathan's theory, relayed by Frank: the Guardians are breeding the humanity out of their Lanterns, which is the exact mistake that produced the Manhunters. Thomas ties that to the wiping of sector 666 and to how detached the Guardians are from life on a planet like Earth. The show changed John's military discharge from honorable in the comics to dishonorable, a choice Thomas did not like even though he understands what it adds to the character. GTA 6 arrives November 19 after more than ten years and roughly two billion dollars. The campaign runs about 80 hours before side content, the map is three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2, and NPC animations jump from 55,000 in GTA 5 to 300,000 in Red Dead 2 to 600,000 here. Rockstar kept the satire but avoided current politics, memes, and trends to keep the game evergreen, and stealing a car now means dealing with alarms, trackers, and block cameras. Geek Freaks is doing a dedicated GTA 6 episode at launch and streaming for charity for the first time since 2021. QUOTES "The question has never been, are you afraid. The question is, if you're afraid, can your will overcome that fear?" Thomas "He's pushed everything out of his life that could possibly give him fear. That doesn't mean he doesn't have it. It just means he's given himself less excuse." Thomas on Hal Jordan "They're trying to turn the Green Lanterns back into the Manhunters, no emotions, only listen to orders. But that's not what you actually want." Frank "GTA is going to teach us to be better people, which is not the game you'd expect that from." Frank "In the beginning it was all about being in your boxers and punching goblins, and now there's class warfare, corporations, sabotage and spying." Frank on Dungeon Crawler Carl SOURCE Every story covered on this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com, the source for all news discussed on the Geek Freaks Podcast.

In this episode of Scene N Nerd, Sarah and Will dive deep into the complexities of episode three of the new DC series, Lanterns, titled "OutKast." The duo explores John Stewart's pivotal interview as he shares his parents' expectations and the weight of becoming a Green Lantern. With a keen focus on the themes of parental pressure and personal agency, they discuss how John's upbringing is portrayed with authenticity and depth, shedding light on the flawed system of the Guardians and their lack of understanding of Earth's unique cultural dynamics. As they dissect the episode's flashbacks, Sarah and Will highlight the contrasting loneliness of John and Hal Jordan, revealing how their childhood experiences shape their identities and motivations. They delve into the intricacies of John's relationship with his parents, particularly the strong maternal figure of Bernadette, and how these dynamics affect his journey towards becoming a hero. The conversation also touches on the episode's broader implications regarding race, trauma, and the nuances of being a Green Lantern. Listeners can expect a thought-provoking discussion that not only examines character development but also the universal themes that resonate across different backgrounds. With sharp insights and engaging commentary, Sarah and Will leave fans eager for what lies ahead in the series. 0:00 First Impressions of 'OutKast' 2:02 A Flawed Selection System 4:25 The Guardians' Cultural Blindspots 9:29 The Apple on the Head 12:12 The Symbolism of the Birds 15:27 The Isolation of Being the 'Chosen One' 20:02 The Truth Behind the Dishonorable Discharge 22:01 John's Perspective on Hal Jordan 24:49 The Value of the Flashback Episode 30:49 Final Thoughts on Representation Follow Scene N Nerd on X, Blue Sky, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, and visit SceneNNerdPodcast.com.

Jong and Michael are once again joined by Chalice Williams of Reel Movie Junkie, to discuss the latest episode of Lanterns. The trio share why the John Stewart focused episode was needed more than a Hal Jordan-centric one, giving John an origin story, the Guardian's ignorance, the process of making a Green Lantern, what did Hal's facial expression mean at the end of the episode, how does Sinestro play into Hal's treatment of John, how the series doesn't spoon feed info to viewers, the ability of the series to add questions but add new layers with each episode, parents doing their best, the incredible performances of Jasmine Cephas Jones & J. Alphonse Nicholson, whether showing love is a stepping stone to fear, and much more! The group also share memories and thoughts on the passing of the legendary voice actor Peter Cullen, who passed away last week at the age of 85. Follow Chalice as she continues her "Road to Doomsday" series on social media, @HeyChalice on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok.

This week, Lorin & Brandon dive into the first two episodes of HBO's Lanterns. The DC series follows Green Lantern Hal Jordan and his trainee, John Stewart, investigate a violent crime in America's heartland.

We're jumping into John Stewart's past as we review Lanterns 1x03, “Outkast”!Was John Stewart programmed or raised? Did his parents train him to become a Green Lantern, or did they groom him for it? And how much damage did they do trying to make their son fearless? Also, is it a weakness that Hal Jordan is to blame for almost everything in John's life going wrong, or is it intentional on the part of the writers?There's so much to discuss!

It's a special origin episode for John Stewart, in which we learn all about why his dad was shooting apples off his head way back in Pilot. And the answer isn't what we expected! Sure, this one halts the momentum the series had built up with the main mystery plot but this flashback is exceptionally good, nuanced and full of incredible character work and acting. So we'll look past the interruption this time but TV shows need to quit doing this. Also: we go into a ton of Green Lantern lore, proving that most of the complaints folks online have about this one are because they've never read a comic book in their life (derogatory). Before that: the one thing that could get us interested in a Robocop TV show. Chris Hansen is running scared. James Gunn may have re-upped his DC contract. We give moviegoing advice. And so much more!

D23 delivered some HUGE announcements for Marvel fans, and we're breaking down the biggest news, trailers, casting reveals, and theories coming out of the event! In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we dive into the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, the latest MCU X-Men casting announcements, Doctor Doom, Incursions, Mr. Sinister, Jean Grey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Kingdom Hearts, and the premiere of DC's Lanterns! AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY TRAILER BREAKDOWN We start with the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer and everything it potentially reveals about Marvel's next massive crossover event. We discuss: • Doctor Doom's role in Avengers: Doomsday • Could Doom experience a heel turn during the movie? • Doctor Doom's potential motivations and master plan • Why Incursions may be the REAL threat • How Incursions work in Marvel Comics • Which Avengers could die in Doomsday • The movie's biggest trailer reveals • How Doomsday could set up Avengers: Secret Wars • Our theories for the future of the MCU Doctor Doom may be positioned as the movie's major antagonist, but we're theorizing that the true threat could be much bigger than any individual villain. With the Multiverse collapsing and Incursions threatening entire realities, could Doom actually become necessary to saving the MCU? And with the stakes this high, we're asking the painful question: Which Avengers aren't making it out alive? MCU X-MEN CASTING & THEORIES Next, we dive into the new X-Men casting announcements and theorize about Marvel Studios' upcoming 2028 X-Men movie. We discuss: • The new MCU X-Men cast • Which mutants could join the team • What Marvel's version of the X-Men could look like • Mr. Sinister's potential role • Could Mr. Sinister be the main villain? • Jean Grey's future in the MCU • Mutants finally becoming a major part of Marvel Studios • How the X-Men could connect to the post-Secret Wars MCU We also discuss Jean Grey's role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and how her story could directly influence the upcoming X-Men movie. Could Spider-Man actually help lay the groundwork for Marvel's mutant era? MR. SINISTER We get particularly nerdy discussing Mr. Sinister, his comic book history, obsession with mutant genetics, and why he could be an excellent villain for the MCU's first major X-Men story. After years of Magneto dominating X-Men adaptations, is it finally time for another classic mutant villain to take center stage? KINGDOM HEARTS RETURNS! We also briefly discuss the surprising announcement of a new Kingdom Hearts TV series and a new Kingdom Hearts game. What could a Kingdom Hearts television adaptation even look like? How heavily will Disney characters be involved? And are we prepared to once again pretend we understand the Kingdom Hearts timeline? LANTERNS EPISODE 1 Finally, we jump over to DC Studios for our thoughts on the first episode of Lanterns. And so far... We really like it! We discuss our first impressions, the show's characters, mystery, tone, and why we're excited to see where the series takes Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and the Green Lantern mythology. JOIN THE DISCUSSION What was the biggest D23 announcement? What is Doctor Doom's real plan? Which Avengers survive Doomsday? Who should join the MCU X-Men? Could Mr. Sinister finally get his time to shine? And what did YOU think of Lanterns Episode 1? Let us know in the comments!

#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCcomics #WB #HBOMax  Episode 3 of Lanterns provides alot of context for not only John Stewart but for Hal Jordan as well. We see how closely tied together John and Hal truly are as this episode goes into the backstory of John Stewart and how he got to the position to be part of the Green Lantern Corps.  Its wild too that we are still early in the season and yet we get a much needed episode that ends up making you look at the first two episodes in a different way.

And with the help of numerous emails from listeners, they continue to theorize about the Lanterns rings and the "imperfect system" of choosing candidates.Then in The Storm [52:20], they attempt to predict how the rest of the season will be paced and whether there is a classic Damon Lindelof show narrative pivot right around the corner.Next week, Lanterns returns with a fourth episode that gets back to the conversation with Hal and Sinestro and maybe, just maybe, brings in some big action beats.To interact with the show, send your comments and questions to stormofspoilers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter/X and Bluesky @Da7eandNeil.You can also support Da7e and Neil and get all kinds of bonus content (from the Game of Thrones era to the LOST rewatch to our Twin Peaks rewatch project to our current Adventure Pod and Dark watch project) by subscribing to our Patreon here: patreon.com/Da7eandNeil

A Green Lantern origin story gets a lot darker when you realize the real question is not whether John Stewart can be fearless - it is whether fear was engineered out of him. Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down Lanterns Season 1, Episode 3, "Outcast," and the episode's brutal reveal about John's childhood, Hal Jordan's complicated role in his life, and why the Guardians may be far more dangerous than they first appear.Bernadette's reveal changes everything. The apple-shooting training, the family pressure, the strange guardian intervention, and the eerie way John's path is shaped from childhood all point to a bigger problem: the people choosing Earth's protectors may not understand Earth at all. Mario and Zachary unpack how the episode reframes Hal not as the obvious villain, but as a flawed, human obstacle caught in a system that seems determined to use him up and replace him.You'll discover:    •    Why John's upbringing may be the key to understanding his Green Lantern destiny    •    How Bernadette becomes the episode's most surprising force    •    Why the Guardians' selection process looks less like wisdom and more like a mistake    •    What Sinestro's warning could really mean for Earth    •    How Hal Jordan and John Stewart may be headed toward a collision no one in the episode fully sees yetMario also digs into the show's larger themes around courage, discipline, and the difference between being fearless and being broken. Zachary pushes the conversation into the politics of replacement, the psychology of mentorship, and the possibility that the Guardians are creating the very problem they think they're preventing.Mario Busto and Zachary Newton co-host Story Archives, bringing sharp reactions, character theory, and a lot of chaotic chemistry to their Lanterns coverage. If you want a discussion that goes beyond recap and gets into the emotional and cosmic consequences of the episode, this one belongs on your list.Essential listening if you care about Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Sinestro, and the kind of origin story that quietly changes the whole show. Also includes a very unserious amount of movie talk, from The Odyssey and Dexter to what the hosts are watching next.

Lanterns stars Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Jason Ritter, and Nathan Fillion. They discuss who could the Manhunter be? Is the whole town of Rushville manhunters? Why did Hal go see Sinestro at the end of the episode? When will John get the ring? Episode Details:Episode One: “Trust Fall”Directed By: James HawesWritten By: Vanessa Baden Kelly & Chris Mundy Aired: August 23, 2026Follow the show:Twitter: @SupesandSabers  ⁠⁠Linktr.ee/SupesandSabers⁠⁠Watch: https://youtu.be/-xJxBCioxBg?si=gMTgI1V3k6KvLpMK

A luz verde continua acesa no Reflix 183. Brunão e Baconzitos estão de volta para analisar o segundo episódio de Lanternas, que deixa a apresentação dos personagens um pouco de lado e começa a revelar o tamanho do mistério em que Hal Jordan e John Stewart se meteram. Se a estreia mostrou que a nova série da HBO Max pretende misturar o universo dos Lanternas Verdes com uma investigação policial, o segundo capítulo abre ainda mais essa porta. Rushville definitivamente esconde alguma coisa — e aquilo que parecia ser um caso isolado começa a ganhar proporções muito maiores. Tem treinamento, extraterrestres, novos poderes, referências para os leitores dos quadrinhos e uma ameaça que pode estar escondida bem diante dos protagonistas. E, claro, tem Sinestro. A relação entre Hal Jordan e John Stewart Um dos pontos centrais do Reflix 183 é a dinâmica entre os dois Lanternas. Hal Jordan continua sendo um mentor, digamos, pouco convencional. Experiente e extremamente poderoso, ele parece acreditar que a melhor maneira de ensinar John Stewart é simplesmente colocá-lo diante dos problemas e esperar que descubra sozinho como sobreviver. John, por outro lado, ainda está tentando entender os limites do anel e o tamanho da responsabilidade que recebeu. O episódio explora justamente esse desequilíbrio entre os dois. Enquanto Hal conhece as regras — e aparentemente também sabe quando quebrá-las —, John ainda precisa descobrir quais são elas. E essa relação de confiança, ou falta dela, pode ser muito mais importante para a temporada do que parecia inicialmente. Quem são os Caçadores Cósmicos? O segundo episódio também joga uma peça fundamental da mitologia dos Lanternas Verdes sobre o tabuleiro: os Caçadores Cósmicos, conhecidos originalmente como Manhunters. Criados pelos Guardiões do Universo antes da própria Tropa dos Lanternas Verdes, eles foram concebidos como uma força de policiamento intergaláctico. O resultado, como o episódio deixa claro, foi bastante diferente do esperado. Agora existe a suspeita de que um deles esteja escondido na Terra — e mais especificamente em Rushville. A partir daí, a investigação muda de escala. A pergunta deixa de ser apenas “o que aconteceu aqui?” e passa a ser: quem, entre aquelas pessoas, pode não ser exatamente aquilo que parece? Lanternas começa a abraçar seu lado cósmico Se o primeiro episódio de Lanternas apostou fortemente na atmosfera de thriller policial, o segundo começa a equilibrar melhor os dois lados da proposta. A investigação continua em primeiro plano, mas a mitologia cósmica da DC começa a invadir a história. John encontra novos elementos ligados ao passado dos Lanternas. Hal mostra que ainda possui muitos segredos. Abin Sur volta a ser importante para o mistério. E aquilo que aconteceu anos antes parece estar diretamente ligado aos acontecimentos atuais. No Reflix 183, Brunão e Baconzitos discutem se essa mudança de escala fortalece a série e se Lanternas finalmente começa a mostrar como pretende unir a pegada de investigação de cidade pequena à grandiosidade do universo da Tropa dos Lanternas Verdes. E então chega Sinestro Era uma questão de tempo. O segundo episódio apresenta finalmente Sinestro, interpretado por Ulrich Thomsen, e coloca um dos personagens mais importantes da história de Hal Jordan dentro do mistério da temporada. Na série, encontramos um Sinestro que já possui um passado complicado com Hal e que parece saber muito mais sobre a ameaça enfrentada pelos protagonistas do que está disposto a revelar. Sua entrada também muda imediatamente a perspectiva sobre a investigação. Porque Sinestro não apenas conhece a história dos Caçadores Cósmicos. Ele também deixa uma provocação que pode mudar completamente a maneira como enxergamos um dos protagonistas da série. Afinal, em quem podemos confiar? É exatamente aí que o episódio 2 encontra sua melhor pergunta. Lanternas começa a transformar praticamente todos os personagens em possíveis peças de um quebra-cabeça maior. Quem está dizendo a verdade? Quem sabe mais do que demonstra? O que realmente aconteceu com Abin Sur? Quem — ou o quê — está escondido em Rushville? E até onde Hal Jordan está disposto a ir para descobrir a verdade? Brunão e Baconzitos destrincham essas questões no Reflix 183, discutem as referências aos quadrinhos, a evolução dos protagonistas, as novas pistas e teorias e o que a chegada de Sinestro pode significar para os próximos capítulos. O segundo episódio melhora a estreia? A mistura de investigação e ficção científica está funcionando? E já dá para descobrir quem é o Caçador Cósmico escondido em Rushville?

Good Enough to Keep Watching, Not Good Enough to Stop Complaining This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl take a somber look back at three icons we lost this week with Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, and the massive mark each left on pop culture. Then it's back to the weekly watchlist as Ted Lasso tries to bring the Greyhounds together, Reacher digs deeper into an increasingly dangerous conspiracy, and Lanterns pushes Hal Jordan and John Stewart further into a mystery that is getting a whole lot more cosmic. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Celebrity Deaths This Week: 4:46 Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 4: 16:20 Reacher Season 4 Episode 5: 24:40 Lanterns Season 1 Episode 2: 3240 Celebrity Deaths Dolly Parton January 19, 1946 – August 25, 2026 | Age 80 Country music icon, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist Dolly Parton died August 25 after what her representatives described as a brief battle with cancer. Her six-decade career produced classics including “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You,” while her film career included 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias. Parton's legacy extends far beyond music. She helped build Dollywood into one of Tennessee's biggest attractions and founded the Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of free books to children. Dollywood announced that the park would remain open following her death, honoring her belief that “the show must go on.” Infamous angle: One of those genuinely rare celebrities who seemed to transcend genre, politics, generations, and even celebrity culture itself. Tim Curry April 19, 1946 – August 25, 2026 | Age 80 Actor, singer, and voice performer Tim Curry died peacefully at his Los Angeles home following a period of ill health. Curry became a cultural icon as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but his ridiculously versatile career also included Clue, It, Home Alone 2, Muppet Treasure Island, Legend, The Three Musketeers, and decades of stage and voice work. He received three Tony nominations and continued working after suffering a major stroke in 2012 that left him using a wheelchair. For an entire generation of genre fans, Curry was basically the patron saint of unforgettable villains and weirdos. Peter Cullen July 28, 1941 – August 26, 2026 | Age 85 Legendary Canadian voice actor Peter Cullen died peacefully at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family. No cause of death has been announced. Cullen became inseparable from Optimus Prime, originating the character’s voice in the 1984 Transformers animated series and returning repeatedly across animation, games, and the live-action films. He also voiced Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and contributed memorable vocal work to Predator, Knight Rider, G.I. Joe, and numerous animated series. The voice and personality he created for Optimus were inspired in large part by his older brother Larry, a decorated Marine veteran, whose advice to Peter was essentially that a real hero should be strong enough to be gentle. That philosophy became fundamental to Optimus Prime. Infamous angle: For anybody who grew up in the ’80s, this one hits differently. Optimus Prime wasn’t merely a cartoon voice. Ted Lasson (Apple TV) Network: Apple TV Genre: Comedy / Sports / Drama Developed By: Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift Season: 4 Episode: 4 Episode Title: “Greyhounds’ Day Off” Release Date: August 26, 2026 Episode Summary Ted, Beard, and Coach Alice try to break up the cliques developing within the new team by canceling practice and sending everyone out for some forced bonding, eventually leading the group to pub trivia and considerably more trouble than Ted probably planned. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Keeley attend a women’s football business summit where they encounter eccentric sports investor Zelda Southport, played by Tracey Ullman. Zelda’s aggressive approach to investing in women’s sports gets Keeley’s attention while Rebecca remains considerably more skeptical. Roy and Keeley’s increasingly complicated relationship also continues, with Keeley challenging Roy to actually date other women before the two seriously consider getting back together. Rating Out of 5, Boots Ain’t Messing Around Brian: 3.3/5 Darryl: 3.1/5 Reacher (Amazon Prime) Network: Prime Video Genre: Action / Crime / Thriller Based On: Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child Developed By: Nick Santora Starring: Alan Ritchson, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette, Kevin Corrigan Season: 4 Episode: 5 Episode Title: “Bridge” Release Date: August 26, 2026 Rating: TV-MA Series Summary A seemingly random encounter aboard a Philadelphia subway pulls Jack Reacher into a conspiracy involving a missing flash drive, government operatives, hired killers, and information powerful people are desperate to keep buried. Season four adapts Lee Child's Gone Tomorrow and drops Reacher into an increasingly tangled political and intelligence conspiracy. Episode Summary After a misunderstanding turns Reacher into Philadelphia's most wanted man, he spends much of the episode doing what Reacher does best: escaping situations that should probably be impossible to escape. Meanwhile, Jacob, Tamara, and Plum recover the flash drive Anna mailed before her death, along with her phone, but their attempt to finally get some answers turns into a violent confrontation with Lila and Amisha. Jacob gets his first genuine opportunity to strike back at the people responsible for his sister's death. The recovered evidence also starts bringing the larger conspiracy into focus. A photograph connects Congressman Sampson to a disgraced Indonesian general, but Reacher suspects another person in the image may actually be more important to the mystery. Anna's phone also gives the group stronger evidence tying Lila directly to the killings. By the end, Reacher and Tamara's investigation leads them toward another confrontation while Jacob is taken hostage, leaving Tamara with a pretty awful decision to make. And this one definitely supports the subtitle vibe we were talking about: there's plenty of entertaining Reacher insanity here, but the season is getting increasingly dependent on everyone accepting some wildly convenient and increasingly ridiculous shit to keep the plot moving. Rating Out of 5, How Many Ways Can One Person Escape the Police? Brian: 3.2/5 Darryl: 3.25/5 Lanterns (HBO Max) Lanterns Network: HBO / HBO Max Genre: Drama / Sci-Fi / Action / Mystery Created By: Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King Starring: Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Laura Linney, Jason Ritter Season: 1 Episode: 2 Episode Title: “Trust Fall” Release Date: August 23, 2026 Rating: TV-14 Series Summary Veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan is assigned to train former Marine and newly recruited Lantern John Stewart. Their relationship begins badly enough before the two are dragged into an investigation surrounding a bizarre killing in rural Nebraska. What initially resembles an Earthbound murder mystery steadily exposes a much larger extraterrestrial conspiracy connected to the history of the Green Lantern Corps. Episode Summary Hal and John investigate a deadly shooting in an attempt to prove that an alien force was responsible, with their investigation increasingly pointing toward one of the Green Lantern Corps’ oldest mistakes: the Manhunters. The episode digs deeper into the mystery surrounding Rushville while separating Hal and John enough to develop both characters individually. Sheriff Kerry also reveals that she originally came from Gotham, quietly expanding the show’s connections to the larger DCU.And then the episode drops the considerably bigger comic-book bomb: Sinestro, played by Ulrich Thomsen. The imprisoned former Lantern is positioned almost like the show’s Hannibal Lecter, someone Hal doesn’t trust but may need because Sinestro understands both Hal and the threat they are facing better than almost anyone.

John Stewart's Lantern training goes sideways when he can't fly but somehow conjures a small green bird that survives after the ring powers down.
