Issue 662: Lanterns Ep. 1 "Pilot" Spoiler Review with Chalice Williams

Jong and Michael are back for another edition of Comicast this week! The guys are joined by Chalice Williams of Reel Movie Junkie on today's spoiler filled issue all about episode 1 of Lanterns. The trio discuss the dynamic between Aaron Pierre/Kyle Chandler, the joy of a buddy cop series, why this series can appeal to non-DC fans as well, where's [redacted] after John/Kerry discover [redacted] at the football stadium in that cliffhanger ending, the complexity of the timelines, what some aspects mean for the greater DCU, the introduction of Manhunters (although as I type this I'm thinking we might have thought about the wrong manhunters... ugh so many angles), what John's father's motives, and more. Plus, the group gets into a deeper discussion regarding ethnicity of actors/actresses being cast for projects and why it matters for some but doesn't for others. Also, a lot of laughs and a post podcast scene after the outro. Follow Chalice as she continues her "Road to Doomsday" series on social media, @HeyChalice on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok.
