With LANTERNS premiering Sunday on HBO Max, the MovieFilm boys mark the 15th anniversary of GREEN LANTERN! Listen separately or watch along as we revisit Ryan Reynolds’ much-maligned DC Comics adventure that killed an entire franchise before it even started. Does fifteen years of hindsight soften its reputation, or is there truly nothing worth salvaging under all that glowing green CGI? Grab your copy, cue it up, and recite the oath as we head back to Oa!
