  Aug 14, 202648 min

  Green Lantern [vol 2] #182 (1984) LANTERNS, an honest-to-goodness live action TV show with Green Lanterns in it, is coming our way so let’s see what the Emerald Knight was up to back in the mid-80s. Turns out quite a bit as Hal Jordan bails on the gig and the formidable John Stewart is next in line. Also, Major Disaster is walking the streets and Eclipso is rightfully lurking in the shadows! Highlights include: Hal pours one out for Abin Sur Wonder Woman no-sells a political assassination Leather wristbands in the 80s Magenta boots The Guardians on Oa are kind of useless Hal’s STEEEEEEL TRAP…..RUSTED! Also, Shawn finally gets around to watching PULP FICTION and is sort of non-plussed by Quentin Tarantino overall. *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:09:48*** Promo: LANTERNCAST ( https://lanterncast.com/ )  Continue the conversation with Shawn (@AngryHeroShawn) and Jen (@JenStansfield) on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.com  Also, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYT Download the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.
