Mom has some stellar lines in this episode. Some moments of superb writing, perfectly delivered by the actor.

An emotional yet flawlessly critical read on what it means to start telling truths.

Just finished Lanterns 3 and really appreciate how @daviddennisjr.bsky.social captures the layers of meaning in the episode. The show has been uneven so far, but this ep. 3 was stellar.

The “they wouldn’t let me speak my mind” to the “actually everything on my mind is racist as hell” pipeline is undefeated lmao
Loving @minakimes.bsky.social and @daviddennisjr.bsky.social breaking down Lanterns weekly on @viewerpod.bsky.social!! (Also Furious, but we're still watching that, so I'll have to come back to these episodes to listen to those sections) And yes, good lord, Aaron Pierre is 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoyed this convo with @daviddennisjr.bsky.social about Lanterns episode 3, and what it has to say about the way race plays into superhero selection and development

I watched episode 3 last night and I am HOOKED. It's like Aaron Pierre was born to play this role.

"And though John’s parents are training him to be superhuman, the metaphor is clear: This is what it often takes for many Black boys to survive and strive in America"

I am BURNED out on comic book material but the reviews I'm seeing for this show might make me actually watch it. It's reminding me of watching Watchmen several years back; a show that I am still incredibly amazed by.

Can’t *wait* for yall to hear me and @minakimes.bsky.social talk about this episode of Lanterns
Coyote vs Acme was a delightful little movie and it's clear why a major corporation wouldn't want it being released lol
