VISIONQUEST Episodes 1&2
Everybody's favorite synthezoid, The Vision, gets his own TV show that wraps up the trilogy begun with Wandavision. With a head full of AIs (the good kind, by which I mean fictional), Vision finds his quiet life disturbed by bounty hunter Paladin and the discovery that he just might have a son out there, which he finds baffling. Somebody dies in these first two episodes! Before that: Mister Miracle and Big Barda are cast for the DCU! Narnia: The Magician's Nephew looks trippy and sends us to Google to look stuff up! And we get a letter that so perfectly analyzes a scene from the penultimate episode of Lanterns that you'll never watch it the same way again. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 1:05:06.

LANTERNS: "Dirt and Stars"
It has all been leading to this... but did the rearranging of episode air dates end up hurting the season finale of Lanterns? We find out who killed Hal, but in the process get a few other questions and it's not clear if they're meant to be mysteries or if the show just dropped unclear exposition to move things along. A new piece of the DCU has snapped into place - let's hope there's a season two so that some of the less satisfactory elements of this finale can be expanded upon. Before that: Digger digs its own grave! James Gunn seems safe at WB. There's another George A Romero zombie movie coming? And the creepypasta adaptation train keeps rolling along, this time with two competing studios adapting the same wiki. Seriously. We're taking next week off but we will be back and Visionquest is on its way! Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "The Jordan Boys' Legacy"
The penultimate episode gives us Hal Jordan's origin, but not as Green Lantern. We learn about Hal's youth and about the fate of his father - which may surprise even comic fans who think they know the story inside and out. Oh, and John finally gets to another planet, courtesy of an Acme brand portal. Plus we dig into our latest theories about who killed Hal Jordan - is it Kerry? Noah? Hal? Jason Ritter? We will find out next week. Before that: Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story! The Avengers Endgame Encore extra scenes! Another Marvel movie is returning to theaters! Will we see Nathan Fielder's dong? Plus we weigh in on the New York Times' 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st century. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 1:26:22. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "Bad Optics"
Rest in peace, Hal Jordan. As the show returns to 2026 the investigation into Hal's murder kicks off in earnest, and there's a visit from a Green Lantern who is actually wearing a costume, Mr. Guy Gardner. Everybody in Rushville hates John and Hal, but what if the killer isn't someone with a grudge after all? Before that: a spooky story from the Philipines. The end of Warner Bros. Daredevil is donezo. And the eternal question of whether Rick Dalton really did get fat. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 49:47. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "Lights Out"
Things come to a head in 2016 as Rushville, Antaan's boys and Hal and John clash. Plenty gets destroyed and our leads have a knock down drag out fight. Who will own the ring in the end? And does it even matter anymore, after all that goes down this episode? Before that: People vs Grodd set photos! Emmy winners! We choose our weapon for a fight! And do The Batman Part II set photos reveal the villain of the movie? If you don't care about any of that skip right to 58:15. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "The Weenie"
The show returns to 2016 and the mystery heats up... and gets solved? Will Macon whips it out, Hal Jordan begins warming to John and Hector Hammond kind of sort of shows up. It's not satisfying. However the episode is great! Before that: Spider-Noir is canceled, Brand New Day is insanely profitable, the Newsboy Legion could be coming, and we discuss which DC heroes go downtown, if you know what I mean. Don't care about any of that (even the DC heroes question?!?) skip to 1:00:00. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "Outkast"
It's a special origin episode for John Stewart, in which we learn all about why his dad was shooting apples off his head way back in Pilot. And the answer isn't what we expected! Sure, this one halts the momentum the series had built up with the main mystery plot but this flashback is exceptionally good, nuanced and full of incredible character work and acting. So we'll look past the interruption this time but TV shows need to quit doing this. Also: we go into a ton of Green Lantern lore, proving that most of the complaints folks online have about this one are because they've never read a comic book in their life (derogatory). Before that: the one thing that could get us interested in a Robocop TV show. Chris Hansen is running scared. James Gunn may have re-upped his DC contract. We give moviegoing advice. And so much more! If you don't care about any of that skip right to 1:07:44. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "Trust Fall"
Finally, a dong! The second episode of Lanterns has naked aliens, a suspicious town hall meeting, a freeway foot chase, a strange bird and a ton of lore getting dropped on the heads of unknowing normies. We talk about how this show is doing a great job of being something non-superhero folks want to watch while also getting in more nerdy background stuff than almost any other show or movie. Before that: Tom Holland is rich! Is Batman being blocked by Paramount? Could The Odyssey be making even more money if it left out one F bomb? All this and more! If you don't care about any of that skip right to 52:56. Want your questions answered on the show?

LANTERNS: "Pilot"
If you've been listening to this show lately you know that Derek has put his foot down: if Lanterns, the DCU Green Lantern TV show, makes fun of the Green Lantern oath he's gonna stop watching. And in the very first episode of the show someone makes fun of the oath. Will Derek stick it out? Only one way to find out. In this first ep we get introduced to our characters and experience a ton of lore and exposition, all delivered smoothly and well. The ending is quite the shocker, and we have our theories, but we're so excited to see how it all plays out that we'd be happy to be wrong! Before the recap and review we discuss MCU Peter Parker's virginity, we puzzle over why Welcome to Derry season 2 took so long to come together, we find out who grifted Gillian Anderson and I wax rhapsodic about Reese's Peanut Butter Oreos. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 47:53. Want your questions answered on the show? Send an email to ask.cinema.sangha@gmail.com and ask away, and ask about pretty much anything at all.

Emergency Pod: D23 News Including X-MEN, DOOMSDAY & AHSOKA!
Yesterday was the annual D23 Disney fan convention and Marvel and Lucasfilm showed up with the goods. First was the announcement of the initial cast of the new X-Men movie, which had both confirmations of rumors and surprising additions. Then we got the trailer for Visionquest, the upcoming Marvel TV series that closes out the trilogy begun by Wandavision and Agatha All Along. There's a new Doomsday "special look," and we're sorry to report it is largely set in The Brown. In better visual news, Ahsoka season 2 looks action-packed, big and fun - especially because we get Force witches shooting magic arrows. And finally the first teaser for Star Wars: Starfighter debuted, and for some reason they let everyone in the audience record it on their phones but did not release it in good quality. That said, Ryan Gosling adds another cool jacket to his repertoire. We'll be back Tuesday with a recap and review of Lanterns. See you then!

X-MEN '97: Survival of the Fittest
Season 2 of the X-Men cartoon wraps up with some death, some life, and Charles Xavier being totally useless. Did the season stick the landing? Can Scott and Jean be parents to an old man? And why does everybody's powers become inexplicably weak when the plot demands it? Before that: the first five minutes of Lanterns! David Ellison keeps being a dork.

X-MEN '97: "Dead Man's Hand"
As the animated series barrels towards its season finale, Gambit is back from the dead and causing all sorts of trouble. The X-Men and X-Force team up to take him down, but is everyone really on the same page? Scott and Jean try to have a tender moment with Cable, Professor X does battle on the psychic plane and Nightcrawler proves that when good guys go bad they really kick some ass. Before that: live action X-Men news as the MCU's Cyclops has been cast! Is James Gunn's DCU in series trouble, and are there too many Superman Family projects? Will we ever see Batman doing the dirty deed on screen? And is Robert Pattinson headed for an Oscar with Primetime? If you don't care about any of that skip right to 1:12:33.

X-MEN '97: Savage Land, Savage Heart
This episode is late because I was in the hospital! Don't worry, I'm okay now and I talk all about at the start. But there isn't much time to dilly dally because we have a packed show. Colossus shows up with the terrorist Acolytes, Bishop and Polaris continue their slow burn, and Nightcrawler gets to be a lawyer with the life of a truly awful man on the line. Before that: Marvel and DC are just canceling shit left and right! There are a bunch of trailers, including ones where Michael B Jordan is handsome, Olivia Colman gets railed by a wicker Alexander Skarsgård, Carrie White is still not fat and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already a blockbuster hit. If you don't care about any of that, skip right to 1:12:32. Speaking of Spidey, we'll be talking about Brand New Day on the next episode of Watch Men, which should be up Sunday. That's available at the $7 and above levels at our patreon - www.patreon.com/cinemasangha - so this is a good time to come join us! Want your questions answered on the show?

Emergency Pod: GHOST RIDER & BLACK PANTHER III News!
Marvel's presentation at this year's San Diego Comic-Con gave us two big pieces of news about the studio's post-Secret Wars plans, and we now know the two movies coming in 2028 - Ghost Rider starring Ryan Gosling and Black Panther III with David Jonsson stepping into the role of T'Challa Jr. Plus: a surprise appearance by Ryan Reynolds!

And what might the show do that will make Derek quit it immediately? Listen to find out!

X-MEN '97: "Danger.exe"
Polaris gets canned from X-Factor and comes to hang out with the X-Men, where Professor Xavier is not squashing the rumors that he was straight up in love with Magneto. When the Danger Room becomes sentient - and a slinky lady robot! - the next phase of Xavier's dream for mutantkind is born, and it involves operating an LLC. Before that: a ton of news. A bunch of trailers, including Resident Evil, The Other Mommy, The End of Oak Street and Clayface. Casting news, including Kenneth Branagh playing a goblin. And scuttlebutt and rumors coming from the early days of SDCC, including what Marvel may or may not be bringing to Hall H. Also: did Sam the Eagle vote for Trump? And is Gollum a serial killer?

Emergency Pod: AVENGERS DOOMSDAY Trailer
One of the most anticipated trailers of the year has hit and it's... okay? We talk about the two and a half minutes of Avengers: Doomsday Marvel has shown us, and we discuss the fact that Marvel is actually pretty good as sleight of hand when it comes to making us think some things in a trailer are real when they are in fact cunningly edited or even CGIed out. And: is anyone else sick of the Fox X-Men? Our regular show will return Thursday!

X-MEN '97: Weapon X, Lies and DVDs
How violent should a superhero cartoon be, and does this episode of X-Men '97 cross that line? Wolverine and Morph team up with enemies and expendable characters from the 90s to break into Weapon X and shut it down for good, but what they find inside is bad, bad news.

Don't try to change the past! You only end up making the future you're trying to change come true! Nobody told this to Magneto and Professor X, though, and they their darndest to stop Apocalypse from becoming Apocalypse. Guess how well that goes. This episode has a doozy of an ending - and a mid-credits scene! Before that: Do we have a Gorilla Grodd cast, and is he the one who spray painted all the dicks? Is Fast Forever actually happening? And what's the worst place your humble hosts have ever lived? All this and more! If you don't care about any of that, skip right to 1:02:39.

X-MEN '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-3
It's time to dive back into the 1990s as the second season of X-Men '97 kicks off with a three parter picking up after last season's time-traveling cliffhanger. Some of the X-Men are in a distant future where Apocalypse has taken over the world, some are in the distant past where Apocalypse is having his origin, and some of them are in the present and getting grim n' gritty with Apocalypse's horsemen. Can this season match the excellence of the first, especially with one of the main creatives gone? Before that: Werwulf trailer, Supergirl box office fallout, the long-awaited Sirenhead movie and the mystery of Tom Rothman. Don't care about any of that? Skip right to 37:55.
