Episode 313 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast takes a look at Lanterns, the HBO series that brings Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre's John Stewart together as Green Lanterns investigating a murder in Rushville, Nebraska. Tom and Phil Lindsey discuss the mystery, Hal and John's unlikely partnership, Sheriff Kerry Kane, the Macons, the Manhunters, Sinestro, and the revelations that connect the show's two timelines.

They also explore the long road to the series, Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King's approach, their creative influences, and the decision to ground Green Lantern in a crime drama. The guys also talk about the changes to Hal's origin, Guy Gardner's return to the DCU, and where Lanterns leaves the larger DC Universe. Does this show live up to the hype, or have they missed the point? Dive into that and a lot more!
