'Lanterns' Episode 6 “Bad Optics” , Zach Cregger’s 'Resident Evil' + 'Reacher' Finale & 'MobLand' S2 Premiere

Victor previews a packed “Need Some Introduction” episode covering Lanterns, Zach Cregger’s new Resident Evil film, the MobLand Season 2 premiere, and the Reacher season finale, with Darren joining later. Victor explains the blended-format approach with timestamps and upcoming October coverage, then breaks down Lanterns episode 11, “Bad Optics,” set 10 years after Rushville: John Stewart and his brother pitch modular disaster bunkers, Hal Jordan is revealed to have served prison time for the massacre, and Hal is murdered on the bleachers, prompting Guy Gardner’s arrival, Sinestro’s jailbreak news, and a sparsely attended funeral featuring Hal’s self-written eulogy. John uses the ring’s remaining charge to manifest a backup Hal, setting up the final episodes, before the show transitions to Darren’s reactions on Reacher, Resident Evil, and MobLand.
