‘Lanterns’ Episode 8 Deep Dive

Joanna Robinson (0:05)

Hello, and welcome back to House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson. Joining me today, oh my gosh. I would let her get away with literal murder. It's Mallory Rubin.

Mallory Rubin (0:14)

Joanna, if you could see the inside of my head, you'd never stop screaming.

Joanna Robinson (0:19)

It's been five years, and I still feel that way, you know, about you, about myself.

Mallory Rubin (0:24)

Our five-year anniversary.

Joanna Robinson (0:25)

On Sunday.

Mallory Rubin (0:26)

That's right.

Joanna Robinson (0:27)

So yesterday, when people are listening to this, right?

Mallory Rubin (0:31)

Yeah, five years, half a decade together. That means we've known each other for, gosh, close to a decade.

Joanna Robinson (0:36)

Yeah.

Mallory Rubin (0:36)

More casually, but deeply and intimately for five years.

SPEAKER_3 (0:40)

Deep.

Mallory Rubin (0:41)

Deep.

Joanna Robinson (0:41)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (0:41)

Deep, deep, deep.

Mallory Rubin (0:43)

Magical.

Joanna Robinson (0:44)

We're going to talk more about our love for each other. If I were to blip out hologram style, I would like the last thing I say to be, I love you.

I love you. Too late for a spoiler warning. We're going to talk about Lanterns finale right after this.

Brian Dawkins (0:59)

I'm pro football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins, and I lived for a long time with something I did not know the name of, major depressive disorder. I carry sadness and anger because I thought I could handle it alone, but I couldn't. Now I want to make sure others know that that support is out there. If you're experiencing similar symptoms, talk to a health care professional. Visit mddallies.com to watch my story.

SPEAKER_6 (1:24)

Paid partnership with Johnson & Johnson. Brian Dawkins has not prescribed Capillida Luma-Teparone.

SPEAKER_3 (1:36)

I needed more from my antidepressant, so my doctor added Capillida Luma-Teparone, proven to provide greater relief from depression symptoms than an antidepressant alone, building on my progress without starting over. Capillida is for adults with major depressive disorder when used with an antidepressant and is available by prescription only. Individual results may vary. In clinical trials, weight gain was not common.

SPEAKER_6 (1:56)

Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. Capillida is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. Call your doctor about new or sudden mood changes, behaviors or suicidal thoughts right away. Antidepressants may increase these risks. Report fever, confusion, stiff muscles, which may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. High cholesterol and weight gain may occur, as can high blood sugar, which may be fatal. Monitoring is recommended. Common side effects are sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, feeling tired, and diarrhea. These aren't all the side effects.

SPEAKER_3 (2:23)

Ask your doctor about Kaplida. Learn more at kaplida.com or call 888-252-4824.

SPEAKER_7 (2:29)

Observe. The North American dad. 50s. Great polo collection. He enters his vehicle information on Carvana. An offer appears in minutes. Remarkable. He squints, reads it again, smiles and says, Dang, that's a good offer. The highest form of approval. No haggling. No hassle. No one called him boss. He's still on the couch. Astonishing. Sell your car today on carvana.com. Pickup fees may apply.

Joanna Robinson (3:11)

All right, if you just in case you missed it.

Mallory Rubin (3:13)

Yes.

Joanna Robinson (3:14)

We talked to Tom King about lanterns in general and the lanterns finale specifically, and also about dip and apples and sex and everything you like to talk about. That's right. That is already in the feed.

Mallory Rubin (3:26)

It's there.

Joanna Robinson (3:26)

That went up.

Mallory Rubin (3:27)

It dropped.

Joanna Robinson (3:27)

Yesterday.

Mallory Rubin (3:28)

Check it out.

Joanna Robinson (3:29)

Listen to it.

Mallory Rubin (3:29)

Fantastic conversation and fantastic interview. It was so fun to hear from Tom about this season and just in general. Really a wonderful chat.

Joanna Robinson (3:36)

One of my favorite things, and I've said this to you before, but it's our fifth year anniversary, so I'm just going to say it again. Whenever we do interviews and Mallory makes one of her beautiful eloquent points and the person who we're interviewing just has to mutter under their breath, wow, so well said, so brilliant, which Tom King, an absolute legend in the realm of storytelling, did do to Mallory Rubin inside of that interview, so you're going to want to check it out. You're making me blush.

Mallory Rubin (4:02)

But I have a sunburn, so maybe you can tell.

Joanna Robinson (4:04)

You're still glowing from Hawaii. I can't tell at all. Quick programming reminders.

Mallory Rubin (4:10)

That's right.

Joanna Robinson (4:10)

Wrapping up our time with DC this week, though we'll be back, Clayface is coming.
