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.

Jake and Tyler are back for Episode 271 of Off Panel Off Topic, and there's a lot to unpack.The guys kick things off with a rant about the reaction to the new Wolverine game and why internet review culture might be ruining the experience of actually enjoying games, movies and comics for yourself.Then it's time for these f*ing Lanterns, man.** They dive into Lanterns, including the spot-on casting of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Sinestro's manipulation, the growing mystery surrounding the Manhunters and some theories about where the series could be headed.Plus, it's another round of comic reviews featuring Doom Quest #4, Supergirl, Deadshot and Superman: The Stranger — including a very different take on the Man of Steel that has the guys debating just how far you can reinvent Superman before he becomes something entirely new.Sponsored by KnoPros Remodeling, Jenny Farrell RE/MAX Concepts, Iowa Beef Steakhouse, and Revelton Distilling Company.

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.

Hal and John's partnership is cracking at the worst possible time. On this Lanterns S1E4 deep dive, we break down "The Weenie." Sinestro's manipulation, the ambition quote that hits different on rewatch, and the moment everything changes when the Manhunter's identity is finally confirmed. The trust between Hal Jordan and John Stewart is the engine of this show, and this episode pours gasoline on it. We talk through the ring hand-off, why John refuses the oath, Laura Linney's Guardian playing puppet-master, and whether John ever really earns the ring or just inherits the weight.

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!

Hello Lantern Corps! We have jumped onboard the Waverrider and followed the life of John Stewart and his family. They man has been raised like no other to be the man he is today. True to the comic origin, the ring visited several people before choosing Hal Jordan.  Here we learn that the ring visited John Sr. The fears of being there for his family and being a black man in society caused him to be passed over. His wife, Bernadette, does not believe him until Lianna shows up.  She is a Guardian in disguise. She offers a huge diamond in compensation for the loss of the ring. But her conversation with Bernadette helps her to learn why John Sr. has fear in his heart.  She hints that John Jr. could be a Lantern if raised right. Bernadette and John Sr. begin training John not to have fear.  He is separated from society and even his brothers. He is repeatedly tested by having apples shot off his head. He is dropped in the ghetto and must find his way home. He is told the birds are spies for the Guardians. Bernadette tries to communicate with the Guardians. John makes the mission his own. He follows his father into the Marine Corps and becomes an expert sniper. He spends 9 months on mission, only to have Hal Jordan ruin it.  He takes the blame on behave of the U.S. government and is dishonorably discharged. He is drifting until Bernadette enrolls him in art school. He has always had a talent for art and incredible skill. But it has taken a backseat to his training. At school he is approached by a Guardian in disguise and asked to draw the building from memory. He does it with the skill of a gifted artist and architect. He is then given a Green Lantern ring and asked to create his dad's watch. He creates a working copy. The interview really starts as he is portaled to an abandoned mall. He is forced to wait overnight by Lianna. She then questions him about his past, his mission that was ruined by Hal and much more. She finds in him the perfect candidate to replace Hal Jordan. They Lanterns can't control him and he is too close to Sinestro. Hal meets John's parent about training before John can get there.  John is there to replace Hal and Hal thinks he is training John.     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 break down Episode 3 of HBO's Lanterns, titled "OutKast" — a bold, nonlinear origin story that finally reveals why John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) was chosen as a Green Lantern, framed as a job interview with a Guardian (Laura Linney). We dig into John's childhood, his father John Stewart Sr.'s (Sherman Augustus) rejection of Abin Sur's ring, and how this rewrites what we thought we knew about how Lanterns are chosen. We also talk about the choice to pause the Rushville mystery and Sinestro cliffhanger from Episode 2, whether the flashback structure works this early in the season, and how this episode stacks up against the premiere and "Trust Fall."

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.

The Geek Culture Congress is back—and this episode gets WILD!

This week, Da7e and Neil are time-hopping through the origins of John Stewart and his complicated path toward Green Lantern candidacy.In The Calm [04:58], they assess the show's levels of wokeness. 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

Episode 3 of DC's Lanterns explore John Stewart's troubled childhood and family history, revealing more about his past. The tension between John and Hal is also expected to grow as Sinestro warns Hal that John could be an even bigger threat than the Manhunter. The investigation will expand into a larger cosmic mystery, with previews also teasing Hal's classic Green Lantern mask.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

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.

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 .

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.

Lanterns just introduced a legendary DC villain — Chanel, Brandon & Sharmane recap "Trust Fall" and that jaw-dropping Sinestro reveal.

A ghost-town mystery, a ticking 48-hour clock, and a Green Lantern who may already be dead - this episode turns Trustfall into a full-blown paranoia machine. Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the eerie, stripped-down feel of Lanterns Season 1, Episode 2, and dig into the questions that make this chapter impossible to shake: Who is the Manhunter? Why is Sinestro suddenly the biggest name in the room? And what exactly is John Stewart hiding?The hosts zoom in on the episode's biggest reveal - that the threat is bigger than one missing ring or one small Nebraska town. Between the alien tech, the empty hospital, the creepy football-stadium scanners, and the bizarrely sparse worldbuilding, they unpack how the show makes everything feel off on purpose. They also debate whether the “budgety” look is really a limitation or a deliberate strategy to make Rushville feel like a place where something is deeply wrong.You'll hear them break down:    •    The 48-hour countdown and why it instantly raises the stakes    •    The Manhunter reveal and why the show keeps pointing suspicion at different people    •    John Stewart's strange power, especially that bird he creates without a ring    •    Sinestro's warning that John may be the bigger threat than Hal    •    The creepy possibility that Detective Carrie Kane is playing a much bigger game than anyone realizesMario and Zachary also dig into the episode's strongest comparison points, including Breaking Bad, Pluribus, Slow Horses, and even classic Black Mirror dread, to explain why this chapter feels so unnervingly grounded. Along the way, they wrestle with Hal's possible fate, the mystery of the lantern itself, and whether the show is quietly setting up a much bigger betrayal than the one we think we're watching.If you're hooked by conspiracy, comic-book lore, and shows that hide their biggest answers in plain sight, this is essential listening. Trustfall doesn't just move the plot forward - it makes you question who in this town can be trusted at all.

The Good Brothers wrap up their second month-long celebration of the Green Lantern Corps with a trip around the multiverse with their first and likely only visit to the earth belonging to 2003's Duck Dodgers cartoon! In this Looney Elseworlds review, the hosts look back at a DC crossover with Daffy Duck's Duck Dodgers character when he accidentally ends up with a Green Lantern's drycleaning instead of his own. Hijinx and comedy ensue when Duck is reluctantly brought into a battle against Sinestro for the fate of the entire galaxy! The hosts discuss the simple beauty of the animation, the two notable music acts responsible for the series theme song and the familiar voices from our voice cast that includes a notable cameo playing one of our Green Lanterns. All of this and more, plus a preview of next week's special Bonus Episode await you on this week's all new DCAU Review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the pod on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and please consider leaving us a 5-star review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our new YouTube Channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: Twitter/X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Final Scores:Plot: Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 7/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 8/10Music: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Voice Acting: Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 8/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 33/40 – Liam: 31/40

This week on Fantastic Forum, we're heading into the DC Universe for a double dose of Green Lantern action, as we take a look at HBO's highly anticipated Lanterns and one of the latest chapters of Green Lantern Corps! First up is Lanterns on HBO, starring Kyle Chandler as veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as newly recruited John Stewart. Created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, the series takes the cosmic mythology of the Green Lanterns and brings it down to Earth for a mystery involving the two Lanterns and a murder investigation in rural Nebraska. With Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, and Kelly Macdonald as Sheriff Kerry, the series blends superhero mythology with the feel of a grounded detective thriller. We're breaking down the premiere, the performances, the mysteries, and what Lanterns could mean for the future of the DC Universe. Then we turn to Green Lantern Corps #17, written by Morgan Hampton, with art by Fernando Pasarin and Oclair Albert. The Manhunters are pressing their attack, and the Lanterns face an impossible challenge as they attempt to protect Ophidian. When Effigy goes supernova on the sun, transforming it into a black hole, the Lanterns must race past the event horizon to save Ophidian and prevent Oa and New Thanagar from being plunged into catastrophic ice ages. We're talking about the escalating Emotional Spectrum storyline, Guy Gardner's increasingly important role, and whether this issue delivers another major turning point for the Corps.
