Hello, welcome back to House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson, and she is someone who has experienced the pleasures of the galaxy. It's Mallory Rubin. You know, it's less about preference and more about opportunity. Set them up, knock them down. It's Lanterns, episode five. Mallory and I are here to talk about the latest episode of the HBO series, Lanterns. We're really excited to dive deep into that right after this.
All right, quick programming reminders. It's almost your birthday. Sheesh. I'm old. You're beautiful and luminous. I'm washed. Your creamy coolness will always delight me. It's almost your birthday, and we're doing a very special episode for your birthday later this week, which is Mallory Rubin Pivot to Horror Special. That's right. We're seeing Resident Evil. Yes. We're going to talk about that. Yeah. You're going to watch it from my lap, as we mentioned on the BuffyPod last week. Yeah. Yeah. And then we're also going to talk about some of the other horror movies that you've been watching lately. And then what I was going to ask the bad babies to do, hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com, is send some other suggestions of other horror movies that you should maybe check out.
You have watched Nosferatu. Yes, and Weapons. And Weapons. You're going to watch Obsession. I am. Maybe Back Rooms. If time permitting, yeah. But what are some other recent horror classics that you think Mallory would enjoy that hopefully does not have any animal mutilation in it? I would prefer to avoid that, though I know that's waiting for me in one of the films we just mentioned. Yes. The V-V-V-Vitch you're thinking of watching? That was, I would say, there were a lot of recommendations to check that out in the Instagram comments for the little, the weapons IG reel that I posted. You know, I've just dipped a toe into the bloody waters, and Let's take the plunge. I'm eager to keep
waiting
for this. Let's just dive in like Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy in a cool, cool pond, but make it horror movies. So that's what we're doing later this week. I'm excited. I am. And then more Lanterns coverage. Yeah. And something else that I haven't figured out yet while you're gone on vacation. That's right. Will you just do a direct-to-camera reflection on... How much you miss me while I'm gone? It's the Avengers Endgame, like, re-release, right? That's right. So maybe I'll just spend the podcast recounting the plot of Avengers Endgame. Does that sound like a good use of my time? Just solo into the camera? Sounds like it'll be a pretty popular podcast, honestly. And I feel like the runtime will be about correct for one of
our podcasts. Yeah. So, you know. Sounds great. I look forward to consuming it from afar. I'll miss you while I'm gone. When I get back, we get to... I mean, we're just mere days away at that point from Vision Quest. We get to revisit WandaVision. What a thrill. What a time. It's your birthday, then you're on vacation, and then it's our anniversary, and then it's my birthday. Half a decade together. That's wild. We have yet to make a dinner plan. We need to do that. Sure. We need to settle on a date night, you know? Should we invite the team? Yes. They're here and they're listening to us. So, yes, I think we should invite them. You guys available? Let us know. Lanterns, episode five is what's coming up. Why don't you follow the pod wherever you
follow
podcasts? Why don't you follow us on social at houseofourpod. Do it. As I mentioned, hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com. Spoiler warning, Lanterns episode five, comic book context here and there, perhaps. Not much today, honestly. Yeah. And any sort of like deeper comic lore or especially like this episode's really primed for a theory corner. Sure. Yeah. So we're going to put Theory Corner in the sort of bottom section of the pod, which is sort of where the comic book – I mean, not to say we won't touch upon it here and there, obviously. But I'm saving my, like, biggest pitch unless I get impatient
and just
sort of, like, you know, pour it all out earlier. Yeah. Until later. There's no spoilers there. It's just rampant speculation.
