In blackest night, Paul, Jason, June, and Paul Rust went to see 2011's Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Then, in brightest day, they all reunited to figure out what the hell happened. They discuss the awful CGI, the soap opera quality sets, the ultra-quippy dialogue, how you can simultaneously be a Lantern and hold a lantern, and so much more. Plus, the crew read listener submitted versions of the Green Lantern's oath. (Ep. #14 Originally Released 7/12/2011)
