    Netflix Is Finally Taking Movies Seriously | The Movie Knights Roundtable

    Netflix is making big changes, and Hollywood could look very different because of them. From major executive shake-ups to Greta Gerwig's upcoming Narnia movie, we're breaking down what Netflix's latest moves could mean for the future of movies and theatrical releases. On this episode of The Movie Knights Roundtable, we discuss Peter Rice taking over as Netflix's chief content officer, Dan Lin's departure, and the reported tensions surrounding Greta Gerwig and Narnia. We also get into Netflix's changing relationship with movie theaters, the future of streaming, and why bringing the right people into the right studios could reshape Hollywood.

    Is Lanterns the best show in the DCU so far? We’re breaking down the entire first season of HBO’s Lanterns in our full spoiler review, including Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, the central mystery, and what the series means for the future of the DC Universe.

But the season isn't perfect, and we get into what worked, what didn't, and our biggest thoughts on the finale. We also rank Lanterns against the other DCU projects, discuss where Hal Jordan and John Stewart could go next, and debate whether DC should make more shows like this. *FULL SPOILERS for Lanterns Season 1 ahead!* Do you think Lanterns is the best DCU project yet?
