Which one of us is a squirrel inside of this Green Lantern Corps, do you think?

Mallory Rubin (0:30)

I mean, you are the number one squirrel girl enthusiast that I know. So I did think of you right away.

Lanterns on Mondays.

Joanna Robinson (2:13)

Correct.

Mallory Rubin (2:13)

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.

Joanna Robinson (2:18)

We'll figure it out.

Mallory Rubin (2:18)

Yeah. Buffy.

Season 5, part 1 at long last, already up.

Joanna Robinson (2:24)

Hell yeah.

Mallory Rubin (2:25)

Season 5, part 2 coming later this week.

Joanna Robinson (2:28)

Eminent.

Mallory Rubin (2:29)

On the horizon.

Joanna Robinson (2:30)

Thrilling.

Mallory Rubin (2:30)

That's one of the most anticipated Buffy pods yet. I mean, for the two of us. Hopefully, for other people too.

Joanna Robinson (2:34)

People seem really excited about part 1 People seem to really love season 5 So yeah, part 2 of season 5 is very important. And we will talk about it.

Mallory Rubin (2:42)

Can't wait. Joanna, how can everybody follow along?

Joanna Robinson (2:44)

Oh my God. I'm so glad you asked me. Listen, what if they just subscribe to this podcast? What if that's something they did?

Mallory Rubin (2:49)

It's a great idea.

Joanna Robinson (2:50)

What if they followed us on social at House of R pod on Instagram? Mallory has told me that she might fang herself up for an Instagram post later this week.

Mallory Rubin (3:02)

I intended to do it last week and didn't mold the fangs.

Joanna Robinson (3:06)

But once you do, we will have matching molded fangs.

Mallory Rubin (3:09)

What part of your body will you let me bite for an Instagram photo?

Joanna Robinson (3:12)

Literally any.

Mallory Rubin (3:15)

And we haven't even gotten through the intro and they have their first quote card item.

Joanna Robinson (3:21)

Great. At House of R pod on social to see where Mallory decides to bite me with her new fangs.

Mallory Rubin (3:27)

Follow our journey.

Mallory Rubin (3:31)

The inbox is always open.

Joanna Robinson (3:32)

As we mentioned on the Buffy pod last week, we are pre-recording this. It's Labor Day weekend, so we are recording this in advance. So we will not have your reaction emails to episode four, but we will read them 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.

Mallory Rubin (3:58)

Spoiler warning. Yeah.

Joanna Robinson (3:59)

Hell yeah.

Mallory Rubin (4:00)

Same as it's been for Lanterns. 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?
