In this midweek episode, Darren and I check in on what we’ve been watching and preview what’s coming next on the podcast. We dig into a tense, setup-heavy Reacher episode two weeks out from the finale, including the reveal that the sought-after photograph contains a chemical formula, Reacher’s precarious cliffhanger predicament, and speculation about who might rescue him. We spend most of the conversation on Lanterns Season 3, Episode 3, a John Stewart-focused origin story that introduces his family’s role, themes around fear, discipline, and race, Laura Linney’s character, and the twist that Hal Jordan and Stewart may be set against each other via Sinestro. We also recommend the cinema verité bullfighting documentary Afternoons of Solitude and discuss the rom-com One Night Only’s implausible premise, plus upcoming plans for Mob Land’s return and Apple TV’s Last Seen.
