Episode description as stored

Chris and Andy preview the forthcoming DCU show ‘Lanterns.’ They talk about the long road to getting the show made and how fewer and fewer superhero TV shows are actually making it to our screens (4:07). Along the way, they react to the first two episodes of ‘The Shards,’ an FX adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel (25:48). Later they discuss ‘Furious’ Episode 5 (44:17), then wrap the show with The Watch: After Dark (a.k.a. CR’s thoughts on ‘Lioness’ Season 3) (01:00:45).
