**Joanna Robinson** (0:05)
Hello, welcome back to House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson, that's Mallory Rubin, and we're here today to talk to you about Lantern Season 1, Episode 2, Trust Fall. Yes. Mallory.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:16)
Joanna.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:17)
We're back from Baltimore.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:18)
In the name of Tom Osborne or whoever it is you worship. What a wonderful few days we've had. Delightful to be back here with you at the crack of dawn.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:29)
Crack of dawn. And we're mere hours away from our like midnight screening of essentially of Labyrinth.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:36)
Yeah.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:36)
So it's going to be a full day for us.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:38)
A lot of caffeine ahead of us.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:40)
Yes.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:40)
Probably a couple Advil for me at least. I don't know about you.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:44)
So let's get into this slightly unhinged podcast. Can't wait right after this. This episode is brought to you by Quince.

**Mallory Rubin** (0:51)
This time of year is perfect to refresh your wardrobe for the months ahead. And Quince makes it easy.

**Joanna Robinson** (0:56)
They make effortless, high-quality essentials for every occasion like ultra-soft organic cotton and premium Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

**Mallory Rubin** (1:04)
Let me tell you something. I have a couple of those now. I have the lightweight cotton cashmere relaxed sweater tee, sensational, and the cotton cashmere ribbed tank.
Can't wait to introduce that into my wardrobe, comfortable, fashionable.

**Joanna Robinson** (1:19)
I'm currently grappling with my first Los Angeles summer and I had to make some changes to my wardrobe and the linen button down offers from Quince were essential for that. Very breathable, very beautiful colors. I'm thrilled to change up my wardrobe to endure this LA summer. Upgrade your everyday.

Late night bites with friends?

**Joanna Robinson** (1:56)
Already hard to beat.

**Mallory Rubin** (1:58)
That first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for followed by ice cold Pepsi. Now that hits different.

**Joanna Robinson** (2:05)
Suddenly, the energy kicks back in. The night goes longer. And the laughs don't stop. Because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun, and more of the moment.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:14)
Food deserves Pepsi.

**Joanna Robinson** (2:16)
Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today.
Quick programming reminders. Yes. It's Monday. When you're listening and watching this, unless something has gone dramatically wrong in the edit, which I'm sure it won't. And so in general, I just want to put that caveat out there in case. Who knows? Knock on wood. There's a lot of people here today. Yeah.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:50)
You think the fantasy guys are just going to pop into the edit bay and take over?

**Joanna Robinson** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:53)
The Hyphids Cut.

**Joanna Robinson** (2:54)
Could be.

**Mallory Rubin** (2:55)
Honestly, it would be great.

**Joanna Robinson** (2:56)
What about the Danny Kelly Cut?

**Mallory Rubin** (2:57)
The DK Cut would be just incredible.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:01)
The fantasy football guys are here. The watch is here today. There's a lot going on here at Zicamore, but we're here today to talk to you about Lanterns as we will, hopefully, every Monday going forward. That is our plan.
Oppenheimer.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:13)
Yes.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:14)
Again, unless something goes dramatically wrong tomorrow, Oppenheimer will be coming out later this week. So that is very exciting. Sean Fantasy is here to wrap up our Nolan Rewatch project.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:27)
Thrilling.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:28)
And then Buffy season five parts one and two are on the horizon. We got a lot at the, I mean, thank you, Baltimore. Thank you everyone on the Eastern Seaboard. That's right. Thank you to folks from like Florida and like all over the place who came to see you. Florida was wild.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:44)
Detroit.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:44)
Yeah, Detroit. To throw out the first pitch at the Orioles-Yankees game. Don't worry about the score. Doesn't matter.
But Mallory threw out the pitch. It was amazing. We did House of R Live.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:53)
It was House of R night at Camden Yards. It was honestly just a life highlight. It was wonderful.

**Joanna Robinson** (3:57)
It was incredible.

**Mallory Rubin** (3:58)
The bad babies rule. Thank you to the O's for hosting us.

**Joanna Robinson** (4:00)
There were hundreds of listeners there. We tried to talk to as many of them as we could.
We did not see a lick of the game because we were just a meeting and a greeting. But everyone was so lovely. But there was a lot of Buffy enthusiasm among the crowd.
