The LanternCast

Apparently “watermelon, cantaloupe, yadda yadda” is what finally got us discovered? Cool. Cool Cool Cool. Anyway, we’re The LanternCast, a Green Lantern podcast that’s somehow been running since 2008! We’ve even got an episode breaking down everything we know about @HBO's LANTERNS so far: who’s involved, what the show actually seems to be, and our attempts to decode every scrap @JamesGunn drops like it’s straight out of the Book of Oa! Welcome to the Corps! Find us wherever you find good podcasts!

@yara_wayne My whole thing about Lanterns comes from our friend @LanternsPodcast: "They're being WAY more tight lipped about Lanterns than most any other project. That HAS to be for a reason."

Si Supergirl resulta ser buena y tener éxito, fue gracias a que Gunn no metió mano, Si Clayface resulta ser buena y tener éxito, fue gracias a que Gunn no metió mano, Si Lanterns, de la cual hay un comentario de los compradrores que tuvieron early access calificandola de "so good" resulta ser buena y un éxito, fue gracias a que Gunn no metió mano, Si The Batman 2 resulta ser buena y ser un éxito fue por que Gunn no tuvo nada que ver.. Pero si todo esto, resulta salir mal... la culpa automática es de Gunn En serio, las narrativas que se inventan y acomodan a su manera son increíbles.

Almost picked this up on a whim at Walmart today because it wasn’t labeled on the shelf with the price. THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR THREE PACKS?! Are they insane?

86 years of Green Lantern means: different generations, different favorite Lanterns, different entry points, different interpretations… ...and somehow people still connect with this mythology in completely different ways. That’s REALLY cool. (#GreenLanternDay is May 17th)

Chris Mundy on why Hal Jordan isn’t 35 in LANTERNS: "We wrote Hal at an age that isn't typical for superhero stories. And doing that felt like a way to get at a fear of replacement that doesn't normally come in these types of shows." via Collider

Chris Mundy on Lanterns: "It's a Green Lantern show, so there's green. I think Green Lantern fans will not feel like we've somehow made a brown show of their green comic at all. It's very much 'we're in the world,' and then when we use the constructs, they're what people would expect them to be." "We could have put out a trailer that was tremendously green." (via ew.com/lanterns-dc-sp…)

@CoyJandreau Congratulations on the opportunity!

Special Announcement! DC STUDIOS SHOWCASE - Season 2! #Supergirl #Lanterns #Clayfacr and so much more!

@SinestroCorpsHQ All good choices!

What’s the Green Lantern story you wish you could experience again for the first time? The one that completely pulled you in & made you go “yeah, this is MY thing.” Could be anything. What’s the ONE story you always come back to? (#GreenLanternDay is May 17th)

SUPERMAN is set during the 10 year gap in LANTERNS Confirming that Guy Gardner becomes a Green Lantern after John is trained by Hal Chris Mundy describes Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner as “Fabulously obnoxious” & confirms he appears a FEW times in the show

@SinestroCorpsHQ That's a good list but a lot of Geoff Johns era stuff! There's, of course, nothing wrong with that. But I'd be curious to know what other GL stuff outside of Johns-era you find equally as compelling! For instance, if you like Kyle, have you ever read 'Power of Ion'?

@lanterncast 1.The Sinestro Corps war 2. The War of Light/Blackest Knight 3. The Wrath of the First Lantern 4. War of the Green lanterns 5. Green Lantern rebirth

Lanterns starts off in the year 2016, when a shooting occurs in the small rural town of Rushville, Nebraska. Hal Jordan is convinced it's an alien incident. (via ew.com/lanterns-dc-sp…)

Recorded tonight... Coming soon...

Our latest ep talking about the new Guy Gardner one-shot is LIVE wherever you find podcasts! We ask the question, "Why does it exist?" and it turns out the answer is, "Maybe let's not look a gift horse in the mouth on this one." Listen in & find out why! lanterncast.com/lanterncast-ep…

The Corps and every molecule associated with it, is deeply uninteresting and makes for a boring cosmic setting. Burn it all down I say.

break the glass and let him interact with the rest of the universe instead of being quarantined to the gl books. he’s built to be more earthbound than space bound. let him use that social worker/sped teacher background and mentor some kids, like he did with jaime (kinda)

@hobo_writer Mark would like you…

@lanterncast My greatest wish is a dedicated Blue Lantern Corps comic (or even HBO series). Saint Walker is the Alan Scott of the BL. Amazing character, but one day find their own Hal, John or Kyle. 🔵

One of my favorite parts of this countdown has been seeing how many different versions of Green Lantern connect with ppl. 86 yrs later, that legacy still means something. What’s one concept, character, or moment that deserves MORE appreciation? (#GreenLanternDay is May 17th)

@D_gray_otaku Agreed!

@lanterncast I wish DC Respected Alan Scott more. He is barely acknowledged during Green Lantern anniversaries even though he's the original.

For me, the concept that deserves more attention/appreciation is the idea that the Emotional Spectrum isn’t just a power source, it’s an energy field Lanterns can consciously tap into, whether through their own emotions or the emotions of others. Sinestro Corps members have to use their own fear during initiation to light their own ring. Hal Jordan created his OWN ring out of his OWN will. And, perhaps even MORE impressive, Saint Walker and Warth DE-AGED AN ENTIRE STAR simply by tapping into the hope of the planet below them. It feels like we kinda forgot about exploring this side of the emotional spectrum idea.
