## Resource

We're back and ready to dive into the series premiere of HBO’s Lanterns ! We discuss episode 1x01, “Pilot,” from Hal and John’s uneasy partnership, the show’s grounded True Detective -inspired approach, the Green Lantern mythology changes of James Gunn’s DCU, our favorite moments, and what didn’t work for us, to that massive ending that changes everything (or did it? Theories abound, friends)! Is Lanterns the Green Lantern adaptation we’ve been waiting for? Sound off at dconscreen@gmail.com, and we'll talk about it next week! SPOILER WARNING: We discuss the entire episode and speculate about where the mystery could be heading. 🎙️ Hosts David C. Roberson & Jason Goss 🎙️ Listen & subscribe: Apple | Spotify | Youtube | Official Site 🛒 Visit our Store | ❤️ Support us on Patreon 📰 David C. Roberson's Maladjusted Multiverse
