Lanterns Episode 5 felt like a full-blown movie with the amount of action, storytelling, and edge-of-your-seat moments packed into this episode! We brought in our brother Furb to break down the latest developments in the series. Did Hal really leave John to die in the car? Is Hal moonwalking his way toward becoming a Yellow Lantern? And most importantly… is John scared of his momma??

Fares and Greg break down Episode 5 of HBO's Lanterns, titled "Lights Out" — the biggest turning point of the season! The Manhunter is finally unmasked as Zoe Macon (Poorna Jagannathan), Rushville is left in ruins, and the Guardians vote to strip Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) of the ring in favor of John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). We break down the explosive Hal vs. John confrontation, John briefly becoming Green Lantern before walking away from the ring, Kerry Kane's (Kelly Macdonald) hidden history with Zoe, and what this means heading into the back half of the season. We also talk about the episode's pacing, direction, and whether "Lights Out" is the best hour of Lanterns yet.

The Boys return to break down the crazy twists and turns of 'Lanterns' Episode 5, and this time they're joined by special guest Chris Ryan! The guys and CR give their reactions to the big Manhunter reveal, discuss John's arc as “The One,” theorize about what else can happen in Rushville now that it's been largely destroyed, and so much more.

This week, Da7e and Neil are caught in the darkness cloud of an episode that feels like a season finale, even though they know that Lanterns must carry on for three-ish more hours.In The Calm [05:36], they discuss the Very True Detective Thing of doing a midseason action finale. And they say goodbye (probably) to several of their multi-color Lantern theories. Then in The Storm [48:30], your faithful hosts construct several new theories for what's in store in the final three episodes, at least one of which espouses radical ideology about Manhunter healthcare.Next week, Lanterns continues with an episode that blips back to the 2026 timeline and promises to bring another familiar face into the fray.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

#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCcomics #DCU #WB While on the surface, 'Lights Out' presents itself like a season finale, its really an end to a storyline that gave us a better understanding on what drives Hal Jordan and John Stewart. And at the epicenter of this is two entities: Zoe the Manhunter and Lianna the Guardian. Hal and John's conflict came about due in part to the shady nature of how the Guardians operated. Its through this that this episode gives us a big character moment for John.

Green Lantern fans are not ready for how fast Episode 5, "Lights Out," blows up the mystery in Lanterns. What looks like a clean answer turns into a brutal, twist-heavy showdown involving Mario Busto and Zachary Newton, a deadly Manhunter reveal, and a John Stewart moment that changes everything.Mario and Zachary break down the episode's wildest turns, from the shockingly quick death of Zoe to the unsettling truth about what the Manhunters really are and how they operate. They dig into the implications of the heart-ripping, the burned-alive car sequence, the strange alien tech, and why the show's biggest “villain” may not be as simple as it first appears.You'll discover:    •    Why the Manhunter reveal feels like a red herring hiding something much bigger    •    How John Stewart's choice to take the ring on his own terms becomes the episode's MVP moment    •    What Hal's brutal fight with John says about his mental state, his guilt, and his grip on the ring    •    Why Zoe's role feels more complicated than straight-up villainy    •    The strange breadcrumbs connecting Gotham, the sheriff's past, and the larger Guardian mysteryThey also get into the episode's most head-scratching details, including the black smoke weapon, the alien healing tech, the motel massacre aftermath, and the lingering question of who—or what—is still running around Rushville.If you want a sharp, funny, spoiler-heavy breakdown of the episode that actually changes your read on the story, this is the one to hear. Essential listening if you're tracking the bigger Lanterns mystery and want the clues before the next episode drops.

Join the crew as we cover episodes 3-4 of DCU's Lanterns on HBO! We cover the origins of John Stewart, and continue the search for the Manhunter!.

Hello Lantern Corps! Hal feels out of his depth and visits his mentor Sinestro for info on Manhunters.  What he gets is a warning to watch and sabotage John Stewart. Lianna tells John the Guardians are done with Hal. John needs to say the oath while wearing the ring to become the Green Lantern. Both men seem set against each other. But they still have a mission in Rushville. John finds Will's building at the center of his operation.  The Weenie, a Disney term for the center of everything that gets built around, is where they think the Manhunter is at.  After consulting Sheriff Kane, they make a nighttime move on the building. John gets the ring, pauses thinking about taking the oath, and then makes a tunneling machine.  The two men get to The Weenie and find no Manhunter, but a lot of advanced tech. Hal sets off an alarm and Will's guards take them out with darkness guns. They are taken to Will. He asserts his power over them. He forces John to draw him nude while Zoe and Hal watch. He tells them that he was dying and the doctors had given up on him, but not Zoe who was nursing him.  The Manhunter healed him. He makes Rushville crops grow, the kids healthy, and everyone for that matter. All that is asked in return is protection. Will tells them to leave town. Zoe comes to John at the hotel. After sleeping with him, she asks him to leave and he refuses. She says she does not owe Will. She healed him.  Revealing that she is the Manhunter. She leaves and is taken out by a satellite. Hal gets the satellite. John, Hal, and Sheriff Kane trace it back the Hector Hammond. At Hector's high tech/Manhunter tech slaughterhouse, they find Hector. He threatens John's family. Hal proves he is not the Manhunter. Hector says it is Will. On the way back, Hal and John hash things out. But in the end Hal listens to Sinestro's advice and sidelines John.

En este episodio de Mirilla en Vivo analizamos Motor City, la película protagonizada por Alan Ritchson que apuesta prácticamente todo al lenguaje visual, la música, el montaje y la actuación física para contar una historia de acción con muy pocos diálogos.¿Funciona realmente esta decisión formal? ¿Puede una película contar una historia completa sin depender de las palabras? ¿Y qué aporta —o qué le quita— a una historia de acción?Además, analizamos Lanterns — capítulo 4, “The Weenie”, con Hal Jordan y John Stewart avanzando en la investigación del Manhunter, la aparición de Sinestro y un nuevo conflicto de confianza entre los protagonistas.También repasamos Novedades de cine y series, Animé y Lo que vimos en la semana.Cerramos con nuestro veredicto utilizando la escala de 1 a 5 Mirillas.

John Stewart wants Hal Jordan's RING—but can he trust Hal enough to believe anything he tells him? LANTERNS Episode 4 “Deception” raises even more questions about Hal, John and the mysterious Manhunter.ꗞ

Logan Janis is joined by George Doerr, Jules Deboe and Scotty Scoop to break down the first four episodes of Lanterns. The crew digs into the slow-burn mystery, the relationship between Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart, the strange behavior of the Guardians, the Manhunter mystery, Rushville, Zoe, Sinestro and the looming arrival of Guy Gardner. There are plenty of theories along the way — including whether Hal Jordan is really dead, what's going on with the sheriff, why Jon was chosen, what the Guardians are actually planning and how far this new DCU could take the Green Lantern mythology. The group also looks ahead to the final four episodes and talks about what they want to see next, from Guy Gardner and Sinestro to bigger cosmic stakes and the possibility of a Green Lantern team-up.

Zoe Macon or the real Manhunter? Lanterns Episode 4 turns the whole mystery into a bet.Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the clues, the weird behavior, and the growing suspicion that the answer is being hidden in plain sight.The middle of the season brings more questions than answers, and this conversation zeroes in on the biggest one yet: is Zoe actually the Manhunter, or is the show setting up a much stranger twist? Mario and Zachary unpack the satellite blast, John Stewart's increasingly questionable choices, the manipulative bed scene, the suspicious “benefactor” angle, and why the whole town feels like it's hiding something far bigger than a single villain.You'll hear them dig into:• Why the Zoe theory feels both obvious and too obvious• What the “heart” rule might mean for the Manhunter's true form• How Hal and John are being pushed against each other by Sinestro, the Guardians, and even John's mother• Why Hector Hammond, Macon, and the slaughterhouse imagery make the town feel deeply off• What this episode suggests about the season's endgame and whether Season 2 even makes sense yetMario also calls out the episode's slower pacing, the growing sense that the investigation is stalling, and the possibility that the real twist is still being saved for later. Zachary pushes back with a different read on Zoe, the Manhunter, and the strange power dynamics running through the show.If you're following Lanterns and want a smarter, more suspicious take on where the story is headed, this is the episode for you—perfect for fans who like their DC breakdowns with theories, debates, and a little chaos.

In this episode, we continue with our weekly recaps of the latest superhero television series from HBO Max and the DC Universe, starring Aaron Pierre, Kyle Chandler, and Kelly Macdonald, titled Lanterns. We discuss our reaction to finding out the true identity of the Manhunter, and we debate who is right not to trust the other between Hal and John.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#Lanterns #GreenLantern #DCU #WB #DCcomics Much like with Episode 3, this episode provides even more clarity and progression for both Hal and John to where they end up having a good comradery throughout this endeavor. We get a big reveal on who is the Manhunter and we finally get some time with Sinestro and seeing his relationship with Hal.

You hear that Kwik Trip is removing all their hot dog rollers grills because people were gravitating towards the grab-and-go items instead of needing to use tongs and build their own snacks? That's the best reference to a weenie that I've got. Clearly the Guardian hologram isn't a real Guardian. The real question is how deep does that lie go. Is Sinestro involved? Who is actually the Manhunter? How much do Zoe and Will Macon know about each other? Is it as straightforward as anybody thinks? Really building the intrigue but I get that this can't live up to the magic of last episode.

Fares and Greg break down Episode 4 of HBO's Lanterns, titled "The Weenie" — the season's halfway point! Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) infiltrate William Macon's (Garret Dillahunt) compound hunting for the Manhunter, Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) hands Hal a crucial clue about Manhunter physiology, and the Guardians push John toward a shocking test of loyalty that could mean betraying his mentor. We dig into the Manhunter reveal, Sheriff Kerry Kane's (Kelly Macdonald) growing role, the Hal/Kerry chemistry, the John/Zoe romance subplot, and whether this episode is the show's best hour yet or a sign of an identity crisis as critics are split down the middle.

Jason and Rosie recap episode four of Lanterns, where Sinestro coaches Hal on manipulating John Stewart while John and Hal team up to scout "the weenie" — the mysterious anchor point on the Macon ranch. A tense, unexpectedly nude confrontation with Will Macon gives way to a satellite strike on Zoe, a trip to Hector Hammond's slaughterhouse, and a twist reveal that Hammond isn't the Manhunter after all. The episode ends with Hal leaping from a moving car the moment he realizes John suspected Zoe all along and said nothing. They close out with their top suspects for the real Manhunter — Zoe, Will Macon, and a dark-horse theory that Laura Linney's Guardian is one herself!

In an episode full of “agains” and “truths,” we find out who the Manhunter is, what's actually going on at the ranch in Rushville, why no one was in the hospital, how Jon really likes the company of an older woman, and who Hal placates to. The crux of Lanterns S1:E4 lies on the continued brashness of Hal Jordan and his willingness to withhold and conceal, while actually conceding to some aspects about Jon that he needs a pep talk to get recentered about. Now that the Manhunter is revealed, what's the mystery going to be for the latter half of the season?Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

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?

Hello Lantern Corps!  The action this week was between two towns instead of time periods. We had some mysteries answered but more questions raised. Join us as we cover Lanterns "Trust Fall." Hal rudely awakens Jon for a flying lesson.  The instructions are fly. John does not even move. But he creates a live bird construct from the ring. Hal has already booked him a plane ticket to Coast City to pick up the Lantern to charge the ring up. So all he really wanted to do was get John out of town. With John gone, he heads to main street finding everyone in a town hall. After a disagreement with Sheriff Kane, and a request to leave town from his lawyer, he heads to the morgue. He steals all the alien bodies.  He has found out that the metal detectors are really alien detectors. He does not listen to Sheriff Kane and questions Will about the tech and targeting aliens. He is told to leave town, but refuses and gets shot. He is taken to the hospital and questioned by Kerry after he wakes up from surgery. The hospital is brand new and has no other people there being treated. John is followed to Coast City and to Hal's mansion. A rich guy gave it to him for saving his son, but it is barely lived in. John recovers the lantern from the pocket dimension and feeds John's alien plant Earl. But he is kidnapped by the aliens. They are led by Antaan or is it Atrocitus the future Red Lantern. Their planet was devastated by Manhunters. Manhunters are shapeshifting robots made by the Guardians. After they failed, the Guardians moved to create the Lantern Corps. The aliens are in town because they believe Abin Sur had a Manhunter with him when he crashed. The believe he is hiding in town. They give John an ultimatum, let them know the identity of the Manhunter or they blow up the town. John reports all this to Hal. He also still has his bird construct with him. A feat that takes a lot of will power. Hal files to the Lantern prison to ask rebel Green Lantern, Sinestro, about the Manhunters. He says they are the 2nd biggest threat Hal is facing.   Contact Information: If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to TomorrowsLegendsPodcast@gmail.com or at at https://www.speakpipe.com/TomorrowsLegends .

Fares and Greg dive into the first two episodes of HBO's Lanterns — the premiere and Episode 2, "Trust Fall" — starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart! We break down the show's True Detective-inspired mystery in Rushville, Nebraska, the dual 2016/2026 timeline structure, John's rocky training arc, and the shocking arrival of Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) as the Manhunter threat comes into focus.We talk performances, pacing, world-building, how the DCU's cosmic history ties into Superman and Peacemaker Season 2, and where we think this 8-episode mystery is headed.

Michael Mann's Manhunter (1986) brought Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lecter universe to the screen years before The Silence of the Lambs became a cultural phenomenon, and did it with neon light, synths, forensic procedure, and an overwhelming sense of loneliness. John and Miles revisit Mann's cult classic to discuss William Petersen's haunted Will Graham, Tom Noonan's terrifying and unexpectedly vulnerable Francis Dollarhyde, Brian Cox's remarkably understated Hannibal Lecktor, and a film in which empathy becomes both a detective's greatest weapon and a dangerous form of self-erasure. Plus: home movies, immaculate architecture, the tiger scene, “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” and the question of whether Manhunter might be the purest Michael Mann movie of them all.

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. Jason and Rosie break down what that means for John's powers, plus the episode's real crisis: Antonna gives Hal 48 hours to help hunt down the Manhunter hiding in town, or the aliens blow the whole place up themselves.

While John gets sent back to Hal's house to feed his pet, Hal is investigating the dead alien mystery in Rushville.
