Corps Cast #005 – Lanterns Episode 5


Posted in: Green Lantern TV

 

 

Naaim and Brandan break down episode 5 of HBO’s Lanterns, the one where Hal finally gets to do some real Green Lantern stuff and John’s arc takes a big step forward. We dig into Hal’s performance on the job (and mount a full defense), what the episode says about creativity and what it really means to be a Green Lantern, and John’s push-and-pull with the mantle. Then a beat-by-beat on one of the season’s tensest scenes.

Corps Cast #004 – Lanterns Episode 4


Posted in: Green Lantern TV

In this episode of Green Lantern Corps Cast, Naaim and Brandan dig into Lanterns Episode 4, “The Weenie,” which they think might be the strongest of the season so far. They break down Ulrich Thompson’s Hannibal-Lecter-grade Sinestro and the wedge he’s driving between Hal and John, get into why the Hal/John relationship is the real engine of the show, and build out a full Manhunter suspect board. They close with some bigger-picture talk on where Lanterns fits in the current prestige-TV landscape, John Stewart’s evolving comics canon, and whether this show is finally the cultural moment Corps fans have waited decades for.

Corps Cast #003 – Lanterns Episode 3


Posted in: Green Lantern TV

In this episode of Green Lantern Corps Cast, Naaim and Brandan dig into Lanterns Episode 3, “OutKast”, exploring the backstory and childhood of John Stewart. They unpack Jasmine Cephas Jones’s scene-stealing turn as Bernadette Stewart, dig into the multi-decade flashbacks that shape John into the man who’ll carry the ring, and talk about the racial undertones and overtones that drive his story.

They close with a rundown of the best Green Lantern comics to pick up if the show has you hooked, from Rebirth and Secret Origin to Venditti’s run and Morrison’s JLA, plus some real talk on whether DC is doing enough to ride the Lanterns momentum.

Comics we recommend:
Green Lantern: Rebirth (Geoff Johns)
Green Lantern: Secret Origin (Geoff Johns & Ivan Reis) and all of Green Lantern Vol. 4
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (Robert Venditti & various artists)
Far Sector (N.K. Jemisin & Jamal Campbell)
DC: The New Frontier (Darwyn Cooke)
JLA (Grant Morrison & Howard Porter)

Green Lantern Corps Cast Episode #002 - Lanterns Episode 2

 

Naaim and Brandan break down HBO’s Lanterns Episode 2: John Stewart’s mysterious bird construct, Hal’s suspicious closet full of hanging Green Lantern suits, the eerily empty Rushville hospital, and the aliens tasking John with hunting a hidden Manhunter in 48 hours, all leading to that Sinestro cliffhanger.

They dig into the Hal/Sinestro “Hannibal Lecter” dynamic and debate why Hal won’t go to the Guardians. Plus: the new People vs. Gorilla Grodd cast and Lanterns‘ record-breaking 9.3M premiere.

Green Lantern Corps Cast Episode #000 - Lanterns Preview

 

 

We’re back baby!

Before Lanterns premieres, we’re taking a look at what DC’s newest series has in store. We’ll talk about Hal Jordan, John Stewart, the murder mystery at the heart of the show, and the show’s creative team (Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King) and look at what their previous work might tell us about the kind of Lanterns we’re about to get. We’ll also revisit 2011’s Green Lantern movie and ask whether this new series can finally get the character right.

Then we’ll share our hopes, concerns, and predictions for the first season, from the mystery at its center to the larger DC Universe connections. And before Episode 1 gives us any answers, we’ll put our wildest theories on the record so we can see just how wrong we were later. Definitely check it out!
