  "account": "In the latest episode of Lanterns, titled \"The Weenie,\" a humorous scene features William Macon (played by Garrett Dillahunt) undressing in front of his captives, Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Hal jokes about having seen strange things, including a planet inhabited by sentient testicles. While this may seem like an amusing moment, it points to a broader theme in James Gunn's DC Universe: the presence of many alien species, yet their limited on-screen representation.",
  "summary": "Episode 4 of Lanterns confirms one of the weirder alien species we’ve ever heard of: a planet of sentient testicles.",
