Lanterns Episode 5: We Think Hal Is Still Hiding Something 17.09.2026 1t 21min

Hal keeps giving us reasons not to trust him. We still think he knows more than he’s saying.Josh and Jered discuss Lanterns Season 1, Episode 5, “Lights Out,” as Hal and John’s partnership turns into a confrontation. Josh thinks Hal may still have a plan that changes how we see him. Jered agrees something is being held back—but that doesn’t necessarily make Hal the good guy.We explore Zoe’s influence, the possibility of another Manhunter, and whether John’s decision about the ring makes him more worthy of its power.Then a listener questions last episode’s pressure-plate scene, we share our Emmys reactions, and Jered revisits Lawrence of Arabia through his love of Dune. Josh discusses One Night Only, finally watching Solo Leveling Season 1 after Lucas’s recommendation, and the Ryan Reynolds film May Day.In Off Script, it’s God Emperor of Dune and Josh’s Zelda nostalgia before we choose our favorite things we watched or read this week.Is Hal hiding a bigger plan—or are we giving him too much credit? Send us your theories.SPOILER WARNING:Includes Lanterns spoilers through Season 1, Episode 5, and Solo Leveling Season 1 plot details. We also discuss story elements from One Night Only and May Day.WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION:[ADD THIS EPISODE’S DIRECT YOUTUBE LINK]QUESTIONS & LISTENER FEEDBACK:[email protected] Screen Time on your podcast app for more TV and movie discussions.
