Whelp....this is IT! Hopefully. The end of an extremely unpleasant year and perhaps the final throes of the coronavirus pandemic. Check out our final Mid Week installment for 2020, courtesy of BTalk 100-this Wednesday at 8pm eastern. Listen to your favored AFROnerdist broadcasters as they provide their best assessment of the year from a "blerd" perspective: the COVID-19 crises, Trump presidency (most admired according to Gallup...really?); "shocking" celebrity deaths;
the killing of George Floyd (and other police misconduct cases) and the continued rise/legitimacy/scrutiny of the Black Lives Matter organization. And then, of course, our encapsulation of black pulp/pop culture for 2020 and what to expect for 2021.

Ecstasy from legendary classic hip hop act, Whodini passes at 56;
Did we ever talk about the fascinating and different animated landscape (Aztec/Mesoamerican culture) of Crunchyroll's Onyx Equinox and recently completed first season?; Dburt has apparently renewed his interest in anime during our current national difficulties (i.e. One Piece, Fire Force; Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, The Seven Deadly Sins, Haikyu!! & more); more charges of racism are being levied against the tech giant Google, especially as it concerns HBCU recruitment; Lastly, as we approach the end of an extremely stressful year and election season, we will discuss the highlights of 2020 in the black blerd space as well as thoughts about what to expect in '21.

Our audience knows the deal! Let's jump in while the water is warm. Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse internet broadcast airs every Sunday at 6pm eastern-thanks to the good folks at BTalk 100. Listen to your preeminent AFROnerdist hosts wax about the following topics: the highly anticipated and melancholy showcase of the late Chadwick Boseman's work is on full display via Netflix. Our thoughts about his last performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom; the inevitability of race and the dissemination of the COVID vaccine rears its ugly head.....again; And then there's the confusion between what a UPenn ethics professor said about the vaccine versus FOX talking head, Tucker Carlson:
Next up, what's the deal with the Cyberpunk 2077 VG rollout? It appears that the highly anticipated video game with previous allegations of "crunch time" issues now has to contend with a failure to launch due to glitches and bugs; another hat tip goes to consistent Afronerd Radio supporter, Sergio Mims for his recent concerning a new book that puts iconic Jazz trumpeter, Louis Armstrong in a different, if not more balanced context; a plus sized model appearing in a Sports Illustrated magazine causes a heated debate on Twitter (at least with Afronerd and our listenership)....is it body positivity or capitulation to an unhealthy lifestyle?
If time permits, we might have to address some issues left on the metaphysical kitchen table from last Wednesday's Mid Week in Review show: thoughts about the S2 Mandalorian finale with its surprise guest star; so what's up with Coming 2 America, comedic icon, Eddie Murphy's 30 plus year sequel to Coming to America? And lastly, what about Netflix' Canvas?....we need even more black animated depictions!

OK..as a general principle, I'm against the idea of race-bending roles for canonical reasons BUT the awesome rendering of one of America's best actors, Denzel Washington (above), as the X-Men's Magneto would give even the most die-hard purist the chills. Just thinking out loud-perhaps this should be considered for the forthcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film. Enough of my blerd meandering....check out a new episode of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8pm eastern. The topics to be roasted on the "barbie" are: legendary actor/filmmaker, Denzel Washington, joins a growing list of notables that are critical of WarnerMedia's streaming TV goals; Dburt discusses a highly touted and historically significant documentary entitled Mr. Soul, which details the development of a pioneering PBS black cultural TV program, Soul!, which ran from 1968 to 1973 and hosted by Ellis Haizlip; Tom Cruise get s caught in an approved but awkward moment verbally chastising his MI-7 film crew for breaching COVID-19 protocols; iconic musician/songwriter, Smokey Robinson caused a bit of a cultural kerfuffle for his mispronunciation of the holiday, Hanukkah; perhaps if time permits, there will be the further unpacking of Disney Investor Day announcements; Kudos to the inventors of the black owned barber shop app, Squire, which now reportedly has a 250M valuation;
Hey, AFROnerdists! Let's make this quick, shall we? Listen to the latest sonic interlude of Afronerd Radio's The Grindhouse airing this Sunday at 6pm eastern. Oh and our broadcast is engineered by the good folks at BTalk 100. Join your favored AFROnerdists hosts as they decipher the "Da Vinci Code" for the following subject matter: our impressions of Disney's Investor Day announcements a la-the House of Ideas dba Marvel does it again with a whole host of forthcoming streaming TV programs coming to the Disney Plus platform; oh and there was a lot of other non Marvel IPs that were unveiled as well:
more regrettable and iconic deaths are occurring toward the close of an extremely stressful year-legendary African-American country music performer, Charley Pride passes at 86 and notable character actor and wrestler, Tom "Tiny" Lister also died (62 yrs of age)-both men appeared to have been suffering from COVID-19; former guests of the Afronerd Radio "steam engine," pan-African comic publisher, Kugali Media, have moved onward and upward thanks to their Disney partnership.....enter a Wakanda-esque animated series entitled, Iwaju;
And more on the Black Batman arc at DC, courtesy of John Ridley; Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige has formally stated that the late Chadwick Boseman will not be replaced in the Black Panther sequel....so the fans have to wait to see what that exactly means; another former guest of our steam engine, Justin Simien has also garnered a deal with Disney-this time pertaining to a Lando Calrissian project; Lastly, another hat tip/suggestion from resident supporter, Sergio Mims, we will shed some well deserved "light" on the 1990 sequel film, Predator 2, starring acting legend/activist, Danny Glover. Does the sequel get enough credit for its early portrayal of a black action lead? Or it's early introduction of the idea of a shared universe (pre MCU/DCEU?).

Listen to your "friendly neighborhood cyber radio hosts" as they unravel the following mysteries: thanks to a hat tip from Afronerd Radio supporter, Sergio Mims-we decided to do a "deep dive" into past black themed (or actor lead) sci-fi/superhero movies (Brother From Another Planet, Blankman, Blade) that helped (or hurt) the current explosion of genre black films like Black Panther; Warner Media announced that they are moving their entire slate of 2021 theatrical films to their HBO Max streaming service in tandem with theaters as the COVID crisis continues; Black Panther actress, Letitia Wright (Shuri) found herself receiving internet backlash for her sharing of an anti-vaccine video on Twitter; noted graphic novelist and friend of the show, David Walker, continues to move onward and upward with the announcement that his (and Brian Michael Bendis) IP, Naomi is in development as a CW TV series; Oh and it doesn't hurt that filmmaker, Ava Duvernay is working on the adaptation;
Google has some 'splaining to do in the wake of the firing of black scientist and AI ethicist, Timnit Gebru purportedly over her questioning of the company's diversity protocols...hmm-maybe it's just a coincidence (ha..); Dburt is enthused about Crunchyroll's new Mesoamerica themed animated series, Onyx Equinox; TheMarySue.com reports that the TV ratings system, Nielsen affirms that diversity is strongest streaming and genre television (and Dburt asks how does that connect to inclusion in ownership?); oh yeah....one of Afronerd Radio's favorite series, Warrior just finished its 2nd season with no third season announcement as Cinemax is closing their doors for HBO Max; Is DC's Plastic Man finally getting a film translation or is there a gender bend with the casting? ; and in more HBO Max news, is the burgeoning streaming service going to develop international adaptations of their DC heroes for varied global territories? And lastly, one has to ask-how do you confuse former President Barack Obama with a caricature of a rapper (all done in blackface, of course)?....just pose your questions to Russian television (just wow):
And per usual, time is moving as quickly as Wally West going out for a brief cross country jog! Welcome to the a new episode of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse internet broadcast-airing every Wednesday at 8pm eastern on the BTalk 100 platform. Listen to your cosmic ray infused AFROnerdist hosts elucidate about the following topics: our thoughts regarding a lack of social grace story occurring at black owned Dallas restaurant that dared to admonish patrons who wanted to twerk at the establishment (#Twerkgate); more about an interesting discovery from #ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) history-the last known slave ship (the Clotilda) found at the bottom of an Alabama river and the community of survivors that still exists;
A recent Slate piece deconstructs the dangerous (and perhaps insidious) reason the extremely popular syndicated Breakfast Club radio show has been positioned to be a beacon for alleged communal black political thought; still addressing scraps from our past Grindhouse sonic meal; interesting that one of Dburt's favorite actors, Vincent D'Onofrio when asked about which shows would he like to appear on in the future, he listed a number of geek "all-star" programs...oh and we never did address his #SaveDaredevil petition; Lastly, the Starz trailer for the upcoming Run The World Tv series looks like it's channeling Issa Rae's beat:

It looks like fans (on the Marvel side) are trying to pull a "Snyder Cut" with their #SaveDaredevil petition to get Disney to bring back the cast from the Netflix' series for a Disney plus (Hulu, maybe) reboot; oh and there was still stuffing left on the table from Wednesday's Grindhouse broadcast ; NYC actress, Rosario Dawson looks the spitting image of the animated character of Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars: the Clone Wars) now translated for live action in Disney plus' Mandalorian series;

Dburt rediscovers anime via a fair share of binge watching; a second wave of COVID-19 may mean that the death knell for American theaters; Danny Phantom trended on Twitter and not for the reason fans would have prefered-perhaps it's time for black cosplayers to hone in more acutely with POC characters and true cultural ownership; lastly, the Bleeding Cool site lends focus on the idea of nostalgia and allegedly not being able to go home again.....enter Hulu's Animaniacs revival.

We're just going to do straight topics, no chaser folks! It's Afronerd Radio'sMid-Week in Review (MWIR) show-broadcasting every Wednesday at 8pm eastern on BTalk 100. Listen to your AFROnerdist hosts decipher this week's following topics: Dburt ponders why (and you can too) black and/or ethnic minority heroes have a tendency to be depowered when compared to their white mainstream counterparts; What does it mean to be depowered, anyway? is it intentional or less insidious?; screenwriter and esteemed graphic novelist, John Ridley makes it around the interview circuit to promote his forthcoming 5-issue series, The Other History of the DC Universehighlighting the oft times overlooked minority heroes of DC; well the theater/movie industries appear to be making that pivot to the home viewing market (at least partially) with the recent Universal-Cinemark deal and we give our impressions; conservative pundit, Candace Owens (GOP compatriot, Ben Shapiro shared "the smoke" as well) is back at it again jousting with (the black version et al) Twitter concerning actor/singer, Harry Styles' gender bending Vogue cover:

For some reason, I recently tripped over classic Hollywood photos of the iconic and multi-talented performer, Eartha Kitt. And then I wondered how did I miss purchasing paraphernalia of her legendary (albeit campy) portrayal of Catwoman during the 60s Batman TV series all this time? Trust me, that faux pas will soon be rectified. But it raises the question-does one's ethnicity always fuel their interest in nerd culture? And should it? Let's explore this for a bit during this Wednesday's MWIR! Join your noted AFROnerdists as they shed light on even more issues such as: 2020 takes yet another beloved and celebrated personality, Jeopardy game show host, Alex Trebek lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last week at the age of 80; just when you thought last week's election and subsequent announcement that Joe Biden is the new President-elect was definitive, the ever graciousDonald Trump is refusing to concede; highlighting 12-year-old Grace Moore as one the youngest composers for the famed New York Philharmonic Orchestra:
Lastly, is it safe to say that the BBC's forthcoming Bameshow(Black, Asian, Minority, Ethnic) with it's purposeful exclusion of whites is probably going to trigger some folks? Exhibit A:

the very talented Oscar Isaac (Star Wars franchise, Ex Machina) appears to be tapped to portray Moon Knight in Marvel's upcoming Disney+ streaming series; and in more Moon Knight news, Marvel continues to honor their commitment to diversity and cultural sensitivity by enlisting Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab (Cairo 678, Clash) to assist in bringing the superhero (whose powers derive from the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu) to life; Dburt finally got around to viewing Netflix' Vampires vs The Bronx and was surprised that he actually liked what he saw, especially the historic horror film "garnishes"; and the streaming wars continue to compete for our eyeballs with the Netflix release of George Clooney's sci-fi trailer, The Midnight Sky:
It's that time again, people. Grab a ticket and and get on board for yet another fiery, fun, fact finding mission courtesy of Afronerd Radio'sThe Grindhouse airing this Sunday at 6pm eastern. Join your "invincible" AFROnerdist broadcasters as they unravel the following mysteries: it appears someone is taking heed to Dburt's musings about the MCU Blade reboot needing black writers but we assumed it was for a film versus a Disney + series; and the esteemed actor, Mahershala Ali has some thoughts about the film and the iconic Wesley Snipes interpretation of the character; and in more MCU/Marvel news, Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Ringswrapped filming and now the only hurdle is when can we see the film and where? (a movie theater?); Vogue"s EIC, Anna Wintour is receiving criticism post her magazine's September diversity issue for being "too little, too late";
