    Lanterns Episodes 1-3 W/ Kendrick of I Ken Not and Ryan Bailey of So Bad It's Good!

    HBO’s Lanterns has officially arrived — and somehow, it’s even better than we expected. Kaya and I Ken Not podcast host Kendrick are joined by special guest Ryan Bailey of So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey to break down the first three episodes of Lanterns HBO and DC Studios’ new take on the Green Lantern universe starring Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan. We came into Lanterns with high expectations, but the series has already exceeded them. Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are fantastic as two Green Lanterns who could not be more different. John Stewart is controlled, observant and determined to prove himself, while Hal Jordan is an experienced, stubborn veteran carrying secrets of his own. That clash makes their partnership — and their performances — one of the strongest parts of the series. **SPOILERS AHEAD for Lanterns Episodes 1–3!** We break down the mystery introduced in Episode 1, as Hal is tasked with training John and the two head to Rushville, Nebraska, where a bizarre case involving dead extraterrestrials begins to reveal something much bigger. The episode also jumps through time and gives us the shocking revelation that Hal Jordan is dead in 2026, immediately turning the season into a mystery about not only what happened in Rushville, but what eventually happened to Hal. In Episode 2, “Trust Fall,” the investigation expands as John and Hal learn more about the terrifying Manhunter threat potentially hiding in Rushville. While working separately, we also begin to see just how different their approaches to being Green Lanterns really are — and why trusting each other may be as important as solving the case. Then Episode 3, “OutKast,” takes us deep into John Stewart’s origin story.  Through his unusual Green Lantern interview and flashbacks to his childhood and military career, we learn how John was shaped by his family, his experiences as a Black man in America and the expectations placed on him long before he ever wore the ring. We also discover that the Guardians may have much bigger plans for John — including the revelation that he isn't simply being recruited to work alongside Hal.  And this is exactly why we think you don't have to be a superhero fan to love Lanterns. If you're a fan of strong acting, complicated characters, mystery and genuinely good storytelling, there is something here for you. We also get into some of the conversation happening around the show — including the sudden attempts to rewrite history around Ryan Reynolds' 2011 Green Lantern movie now that Lanterns is being praised, and why some viewers seem uncomfortable with the new series directly acknowledging the realities of being Black in America through John Stewart's story. Is Lanterns already proving that the DCU can tell superhero stories that feel completely different from traditional comic-book television? Are Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler the perfect John Stewart and Hal Jordan? And after Episodes 1–3… where exactly is this mystery taking us? Join us as we break it all down.
