What is the opening banter and intro that kicks off the episode?
Greetings. And welcome to House of R. Yeah. A Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today. To remind me that I better start doodling junior. Junior. Junior. It's Joanna Robinson. Which one of us is a squirrel inside of this Green Lantern core, do you think? I mean, you are the number one squirrel girl enthusiast that I know. So I did think of you right away. That's true. And I and I'm fond of a nut. I like a nut too. Yeah. I like a nut too. Okay. What's your favorite kind of nut? Almond. I like an almond as well. Delicious. Raw, unroasted. Unsulted. Give it to me raw and regular.
I was just gonna say the same thing.
We are here to dive deep into lanterns episode four. Right after this.
Okay, programming reminders. Hell yeah. Lanterns on Mondays. Correct. That's the hope. I have an upcoming vacation, we'll see if that impacts anything. But even then I think we'll manage to do Mondays. We'll figure it out. Yeah. Buffy. Season five, part one at long last already up. Hell yeah. Season five part two coming later this week. Imminent. On the horizon. Thrilling. That's one of the most anticipated buffy pods yet. I mean for the two of us. Hopefully for other people too. People seem really excited about part one. Uh people seem to really love season five. So yeah, part two of season five is very important and we will talk about it. Can't wait. Joanna, how can everybody follow along? Oh my God. I'm so glad you asked.
Yeah. Listen, what if they just subscribe to this podcast? What if that's something they did? It's a great idea. What if they followed us on social at House of Our Pod on Instagram? Mallory has told me that she might fang herself up. Yes. For an Instagram post later this week. I intended to do it last week and didn't mold the fangs. But once you do we will have matching molded fangs. What part of your body will you let me bite for an Instagram photo? Literally any.
And we haven't even gotten through the intro and they have their first
quilt card
item. Great.
House of our pod on social to see where Mallory decides to bite me with her new fangs. Follow our journey. Opposandragonsgmail.com. The inbox is always open. As we mentioned on the Buffy Pod last week, uh, we are pre-recording this. It's Labor Day weekend. So we were recording this in advance. Um, so we will not have your your reaction emails to episode four, though we will read them uh before we record episode five. So just in case you're like, hey man, I had said something really brilliant about that. I bet you did, but I didn't get to read it. So I will look for it. Later. Thank you so much. But the inbox is always open for all your takes. Spoiler warning. Yeah. Hell yeah. Same as as it's been for lanterns, right?
If it happened in this episode of television, the weenie. Episode four the Weenie, then it'll come up today. We're going through the whole episode in chronological order. If it's happened to this point in the HBO Sunday night television program Lanterns, it might come up today. If it's happened in the comics, how are we approaching that, Joanna? Yeah, there's like a few sort of uh hot button issues that we're reserving for a spoiler section, I guess. We're call calling it like sort of Speculation comics lore section at the end. We don't have one today. Yeah. So don't worry about it. So this
Spoiler warning was not
something
we
needed
to share today. But keep it in
mind
for a week from
now. Sometimes we do. So we'll let you know. Great stuff. Okay. Uh I believe those are the programming reminders, those are the spoiler warnings, those are the follow-along how-tos. Yes. It's time for the opening snapshot.
Episode four, The Weenie, 52 Minutes, directed by Gita Vassant Patel. Hot D. House of the Dragon Legend, Gita. Exciting stuff. That was a thrill. Written by Brianna Gibson. Joanna gave me who worked on Penguin. That's right. A show we loved. And is your Orange Wildlife? According to IMDB, though IMDB is often unreliable about future stuff, but uh is supposed to be working on the chain, which is Damon Lindelof's next project. So if that's true, nice someone who was impressive enough in the lanterns room to sort of be brought over to Damon's next project.
