Lanterns - S01E06 - Bad Optics
David and Jean continue their episode-to-episode coverage of HBO's Lanterns with a tightly plotted sixth episode. The fresh takes cover the show's continued strength with character work, particularly the strained dynamic between John Stewart Jr. and his brothers, and a growing unease around Sheriff Carrie and Noah that has Jean on high alert. They also praise the show's grounded, realistic dialogue as a through-line even as the mythology around the Corps and Oa expands. From there, David and Jean move into a full scene by scene breakdown covering the autopsy, the trip to the Fortress of Solitude, and a very large vault the team can't yet open, before wrapping up the episode.We did some work with Connor M and got his Green Lantern reading list put together on a shared document that everyone can take a look at!Green Lantern Reading Order by ConnorMContact UsQuestions or comments?

Catherine O'Hara Filmography - Into the West
David, Lisa, and Bryan celebrate the life and career of Catherine O'Hara, who passed away in January 2026. The trio traces her path from waitressing at Toronto's Second City at 19, where she understudied for Gilda Radner, through her Emmy-winning years on SCTV alongside future comedy giants John Candy, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, and Rick Moranis. The conversation moves through her collaborations with Tim Burton on Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, her breakout to household fame in Home Alone, her celebrated improv work in Christopher Guest's mockumentary films, and the career renaissance of Schitt's Creek, where decades of character work culminated in the unforgettable Moira Rose. The hosts reflect on how O'Hara elevated everything she touched, from dramatic turns in The Last of Us and The Studio to her fearless willingness to let the awkward moment sit for one extra beat, before selecting three films for the community vote.Catherine O'Hara Community Movie Poll Vote for the film we'll cover in our deep dive episode!
