Listen to "Lanterns 1x08 - "Dirt and Stars" Review" on Spreaker.

The season has finaled! Lanterns 1x08, "Dirt and Stars" gets dark and intimate and emotional, but is it the ending we hoped for? Were we good with what wrapped? Are we cool with what dangled? We're talking all about the season 1 finale, and we're addressing some of the complaints that we've seen haphazardly shat upon the myriad online platforms.

Lanterns 1x06 - "Bad Optics" Review

 

Podcast artwork for DC on SCREEN episode 796 reviewing Lanterns Season 1, Episode 6, “Bad Optics,” featuring Guy Gardner in his Green Lantern uniform.

Listen to "Lanterns 1x06 - "Bad Optics" Review" on Spreaker.
We're getting into Lanterns 1x06, "Bad Optics"! It's 2026, and Hal Jordan isn't the man he used to be. In fact, no one seems to be who we thought they were. Except Guy. Guy is exactly what we expected.

Come wallow in theories and good-time conversation with your buddies Dave and Jason! We're so interested to know where this all is going, and we're not ashamed to say we can't remember every freaking bit of Lantern lore! You can listen to us google!
