Episode 3, "OutKast," hits pause on the Rushville mystery completely and dedicates the entire hour to John Stewart's origin story. Framed as a job interview with a Guardian played by Laura Linney, we finally get the full picture of how John became a Green Lantern candidate, and it's a lot more unsettling than we expected. We're breaking it all down.

We're covering John Sr.'s failed test with the Guardians and how his fear cost him the ring, Bernadette's furious response and the deal she strikes to give her infant son a shot instead, and the disturbing lengths John's parents go to raise him fearless. We're also getting into the apple-on-the-head scene finally getting context, the military incident where Hal unknowingly destroys John's career, and that tense final confrontation between the two of them that raises real questions about whether Hal even wants John as backup.

We're also giving our honest take on whether this origin-story detour works for the show or slows things down right when the main mystery was heating up. Let us know in the comments what you thought of this one.

We finally watched Buddy, the horror movie that asks the question we've all secretly wondered about Barney the Dinosaur, and yeah, it goes exactly as unhinged as you'd hope. Casper Kelly's twisted spoof of 90s kids' TV turns a wholesome purple mascot into something genuinely disturbing, and we've got a full review.

We're covering the killer first act, which plays out like actual episodes of a children's show that slowly start glitching into something wrong, the tonal shift once the story moves into the real world, and how the back half balances gore, comedy, and some surprisingly dark ideas about nostalgia and childhood media. We're also giving our honest take on the performances, including Keegan-Michael Key's take on the title character, and whether the film's central joke holds up for the whole runtime or wears thin by the third act.

Spoiler warning kicks in partway through, so we'll give you a heads up before we get into specifics. Let us know in the comments if you've seen it and what your take on Buddy's whole deal is.

"Greyhounds' Day Off" tackles a problem Ted can't fix with drills. The Lady Greyhounds are winning on the pitch but splitting into cliques off it, and Ted's solution is a pub trivia night that goes about as sideways as you'd expect from this show. We're reacting to the whole chaotic mess and what it actually accomplishes.

We're breaking down how the attacker, midfielder, and defender cliques formed in the first place, the trivia night brawl that lands the entire team in jail, and how that disaster somehow becomes the bonding moment Ted was hoping for. We're also getting into Roy's dating challenge from Keeley, the introduction of Zelda Southport and why her motives already feel questionable, and what this all means heading into Richmond's Chelsea matchup.

Let us know in the comments what you think Zelda's really after, and whether you're Team Roy figuring his life out or Team Keeley for making him work for it.
