I think the term is "lampshades" or something like that, rather than "hanging a lantern".

Maybe, that's what they called it in the episode 200 (IIRC) of Stargate, so that's what I call it.

They may be opposites.

You're right, because hanging a lantern is something a character does to explain something seemingly contrived in the story.
