TV & Film

Stay Through the Credits

We’re Dan and Julia, and we cannot watch a movie without arguing about it.

Stay Through the Credits is what happens when two people with very different taste share one couch (or one mic). One of us cries at everything. One of us says “it’s fine, it’s just a movie” and then thinks about it for three days. Guess which is which.

Every week we talk about the films and shows we can’t stop thinking about: the masterpieces, the guilty pleasures, the endings that ruined our night, and the hidden gems we’ll bully you into watching.

No film-school gatekeeping. No pretending we liked the boring one.

HBO's new DC drama "Lanterns" wears its influences right on its sleeve, from "Watchmen" to "True Detective" to "Friday Night Lights." We break down why Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre's mismatched-partner dynamic works so well, how the show digs into race and the burden of "earning" a Green Lantern ring, and why all those familiar reference points might be holding it back from becoming something distinctly its own.
