Dungeons 'n' Durags
After living his entire adult life in a predominantly white world, Ron had a "come to Jesus" moment with the election of Donald Trump and the rise of MAGA on the wings of the evangelical church. After writing his satirical memoir of the same name, the semi-conservative devoted Christian is now a progressive agnostic atheist. And he has finally joined the proverbial “cookout” (unfortunately, he didn’t get the memo that you don’t bring boiled Kraft mac & cheese, but that’s a whole different story.) This is the classic “fish out of water” story as his Black BFFs constantly keep him on his toes, making him earn that “Black Card,” while they discuss everything from politics to pop culture. Every episode is filled with laughter, levity, and NSFW conversations.

Drama about "Drama" and What's Coming Next
Now that Lanterns is done, we are giving you this little holdover where Edu, Javon, and I discuss the Drama. You know how much he LOVES that movie (JK). Also, a quick announcement about the next shows we'll cover on the podcast. Until next week, enjoy.
LANTERNS S1 Finale (aka "In black•ish Night")
Welp! That was definitely a show. Temu Lanterns. Unnecessary plot lines. Never-seen-again characters (And those we wish we never saw in the first place. Looking at YOU, Maggie.) As you might expect, the fellas have a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings about the finale and this season of LANTERNS in ...
LANTERNS 1x07 (aka "Axe me again mutha f***ka)
Welp! You knew the fellas were gonna have a lot to say about this episode. From John's full-blown transformation to "Jules" from Pulp Fiction, to the apparent string-pasta-thin budget, the boys wanna know: how many of these 24 got-damn mystery boxes are we gonna get solved in one episode...
John Gets Blacker in LANTERNS 1x06
Is it our imagination, or is John getting and sounding blacker? Is Kerry after that John D? And how many mystery boxes is Damon Lindelof going to drop in this show and never answer? The fellas discuss these and all the usual tangents. Email the fellas at: dungeons.n.durags@gmail.com Watch online at ...
LANTERNS 1x05 (aka That's One Weak-a** Manhunter)
Nzinga is back to join the fellas, share her theories, and help Ron cope with how lame this Manhunter seems. Aren't they supposed to be one of the most formidable opponents to the Lantern Corps? This Manhunter isn't a Lantern-level threat. Hell. It's not even a Batman-level threat. Have ...
Discussing LANTERNS 1x04 (aka "Axing the right questions.")
WE KNEW IT! Or rather, we had a good idea that you-know-who would be a Manhunter. All the usual hilarity ensues as we discuss this episode and the revelations made. Including JD falling victim to that interdimensional box again, and Aaron Pierre quite possibly did a Google search to figure out how t...
LANTERNS 1x03 Convo with SPECIAL GUEST STAR Jean Jr of Comics Vs
Given the themes of being Black in 'murica, you know the fellas were gonna have a lot to say, and that Ron, at some point (if not multiple points), would take some ish. Also this week, we're joined by Jean G. Jr. from the fellow Lorehounds podcast Comics Vs. You can find it wherever you list...
Damon Lindelof Deep Dive, Ridiculous Confusion, and more! | LANTERNS 1x02
Edu is back to join the fellas and explain why he is concerned about the series' future. Spoiler alert: it has to do with Damon Lindelof. Also, we get the usual comical tangents, including the possible origin of Ron's first black card. All this and more. Watch online at https://youtube.com/@...
Is LANTERNS Worth Watching (plus another ridiculous debate)
The fellas are back with a new show. HBO's Lanterns Season 1 Episode 1 is on the chopping block, with special guest star David Erickson from The Lorehounds. Is the show as good as the comics? How close is it to the comics? And how many times can Ron put his foot in his mouth in one episode? All ...
A look back at House of the Dragon Season 3 (aka the one with the white guy)
No, Edu's brain was not transplanted into the body of a white man. This week on the show, we have one of the original Lorehounds (the patron saint of the network we're on), David E., back to discuss our overall impression of season 3. Watch online at https://youtube.com/@dungeonsndurags You ...
