John Gets Blacker in LANTERNS 1x06

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's "documentary" is all the buzz and breaking box-office records for documentaries. But is it really a documentary? The fellas discuss the unique blend of cinematic genre, manipulation, music, and the director's POV that is making this one of the year's most talked-about films!Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsnduragsEmail the fellas at: [email protected] Ron on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blerdronnerPart of the Lorehounds Network: https://thelorehounds.com/

Back in 2021, season 1 of the show was very different than what you are getting now. It was an audio documentary series with me, J.D., and his wife, Yolanda. They're hilarious and follow my journey of reconnecting with the Black community. Between our usual film and TV reviews, we'll bring you these episodes for your entertainment. Enjoy. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:Ron tells the story of his very black childhood and how it morphed into white adulthood. JD and Yolanda learn of yet another (supposedly) common Black term Ron doesn’t know. (Cackling ensues). Joining Ron, JD, and Yolanda are Ron’s friend and fellow Black marketing guy Frederick VanJohnson of the This Week in Photo podcast (and fellow lone black man in a white working world). Frederick shares his own personal story. He’s also tested to see how many Black terms he knows vs. Ron.This week, we’re also blessed to have the hilarious comedian, writer, producer, and now feature director Chris Spencer. Chris and Ron went to South Pasadena High School together, and Chris shares more hilarious stories from their time there.We still wanna know which diss track you think is best: No Vaseline or Hit ‘em Up. Email us your thoughts to [email protected]. Or leave us a 5-star review, and we may read your message on the show.

Even though the rest of YouTube finished reviewing this show over a month ago, the fellas finally cover the finale. Let's be honest, this is the review you really want to hear. In addition to talking about the possibilities of what could happen in season two, and finding out what grade Edu gave it, we also take a LOST tangent and address one of the biggest mysteries of this show—how the hell did Mike Flanagan land Katie Siegel? Inquiring minds wanna know.Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsnduragsEmail the fellas at: [email protected] Ron on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blerdronnerPart of the Lorehounds Network: https://thelorehounds.com/

Back in 2021, season 1 of the show was very different than what you are getting now. It was an audio documentary series with me, J.D., and his wife, Yolanda. They're hilarious and follow my journey of reconnecting with the Black community. Between our usual film and TV reviews, we'll bring you these episodes for your entertainment. Enjoy. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:Ron has lived his entire adult life as a Black man in a white world. Most of his friends were white, most of his co-workers were white, and he attended white hipster churches. Then in 2016 with the election of #45, everything changed. He had a crisis of faith and a racial identity crisis that sent him on a quest to reconnect with his blackness in a way he never has before. In this inaugural episode, meet Ron and his Black BFFs JD and Yolanda (whom he affectionately refers to as the “Dre & Bow” to his “Junior.”) Find out why this show exists and what to expect. Laughter will ensue.

Even though everybody and their mother has finished reviewing all eight episodes of Carrie, we are on some serious CPT getting to it. But as usual, our takes are worth the wait. We discuss some comparisons to the original Brian de Palma classic (which apparently is horrible and crazy AF). Oh, and we kinda talk a little bit about VisionQuest.Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsnduragsEmail the fellas at: [email protected] Ron on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blerdronnerPart of the Lorehounds Network: https://thelorehounds.com/

We got two new shows to cover, which means twice as many reasons to go off on tangents! This week, David from our sister show, The Lorehounds, joins to discuss Vision Quest episodes 1 and 2. Then, after he bails because of bedtime, the Usual Suspects stay to discuss the first episode of Carrie. We’re sure you’ve probably already watched everyone else’s full-season review, but trust us, you’ll always be entertained by our coverage.We plan to cover two episodes a week, and if we have time to spare at the end, we’ll throw in some commentary about VisionQuest (assuming any of us have watched it, because generally speaking, we’re just not feelin’ it.)Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsnduragsEmail the fellas at: [email protected] Ron on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blerdronnerPart of the Lorehounds Network: https://thelorehounds.com/

Now that Lanterns is done, we are giving you this little holdover where Edu, Javon, and I discuss the Drama. You know how much he LOVES that movie (JK). Also, a quick announcement about the next shows we'll cover on the podcast. Until next week, enjoy. 

Welp! That was definitely a show. Temu Lanterns. Unnecessary plot lines. Never-seen-again characters (And those we wish we never saw in the first place. Looking at YOU, Maggie.) As you might expect, the fellas have a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings about the finale and this season of LANTERNS in general. Will there be a season 2? (Edu is not holding his breath.) However you feel about the show and this finale, you're sure to have plenty of laughs with our recap. As usual, don't bother watching if you want a deep, introspective breakdown. These are just four bruthas shootin' the sh*t about a superhero show (er, I mean, a gritty and grounded crime drama).Let us know what you'd like us to discuss next.

Welp! You knew the fellas were gonna have a lot to say about this episode. From John's full-blown transformation to "Jules" from Pulp Fiction, to the apparent string-pasta-thin budget, the boys wanna know: how many of these 24 got-damn mystery boxes are we gonna get solved in one episode? Demon Lindelof strikes again.Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsnduragsEmail the fellas at: [email protected] Ron on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blerdronnerPart of the Lorehounds Network: https://thelorehounds.com/

Is it our imagination, or is John getting and sounding blacker? Is Kerry after that John D? And how many mystery boxes is Damon Lindelof going to drop in this show and never answer?
