The Boulder, CO Shooting Tragedy; Them! @Amazon; Ex Supes & Lois Scribe, Nadria Tucker Gives Clarity; Blacks in the Golden Age (of Comics); (Black) Power Girl's False Start; HBO Max Pa' Lante: The Mid Week in Review Airs WED 8pm EST

 

Sannu! or "Hello" in Hausa to our ever-growing and loyal Afronerd Radio listenership!  Check out a new episode of our patented Mid Week in Review broadcast-airing every Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform.  Our "grocer's fresh" topics this week are as follows: yet another horrific mass shooting has occurred in Boulder, CO and regrettably, the solutions to this peculiar U.S. phenomenon are few and far in between. We will unpack our thoughts nonetheless; Dburt mistook the trailer for Amazon's "racial horror" anthology series, Them as a Jordan Peele production, BUT it's actually under the auspices of writer, Little Marvin, and actor, Lena Waithe:

     

It looks like former CW Superman & Lois writer, Nadria Tucker is giving more details concerning the non-renewal of her contract; Dburt ponders how (and why) comic book writers should rehabilitate minority representation in Golden Age (1930s thru the 50s) storylines in the wake of the forthcoming release of the DC Animated film, Justice Society: World War II:

A BleedingCool.com piece highlights the failed proposal for a Jeremy Whitley (Princeless) penned Tanya Spears as Power Girl comic; HBO Max new Latinx initiative, Pa' Lante gets its close-up , but one has to ask: Why not additional focused ethnic platforms?  Lastly, if time permits, perhaps we will address some issues that were left on the cutting room floor from Sunday's Grindhouse broadcast.

Zack Snyder's JL & Falcon-Winter Soldier Reviews; WaPo's Black Capt. America Piece; More Gina Carano Fallout; Reparations in Cali..Sorta?; War for Wakanda VG Expansion & More: The Grindhouse Airs 6pm EST @BTalk 100

 

Greetings to our loyal AFROnerdists! Join us each and every Sunday for Afronerd Radio's infamous The Grindhouse broadcast-airing this Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100.  The topics du jour are: our impressions of the highly touted back-to-back superhero genre streaming movies/shows, Zack Snyder's Justice League (HBO Max) and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (Disney+); dovetailing off of  The Falcon series, a Washington Post piece delves into a possible (and canonical) storyline in which the Sam Wilson character picks up the shield and assumes the Captain America mantle.  Is the USA ready for a Black Captain America?: and yet there's still more fallout post actress, Gina Carano's firing from the extremely popular Disney+ The Mandalorian series. A recent Forbes piece ponders there appears to be a double standard along political lines concerning who can say what and not get brought into a controversy: a story that we failed to address a few shows ago connects to the reparations discussion-a LA County official is mulling over the return of beachfront to the family of the original Black owners; the Marvel's Avengers video game has a new trailer showcasing a forthcoming War for Wakanda expansion: 

And speaking of reparations, it appears that Evanston, Illinois is a test case for some Black residents receiving a stipend for past discriminatory practices; a proposal in Congress would deem June 19th a national holiday to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved Africans in North America; lastly, it looks like notable CBS TV producer/writer, Chuck Lorre (Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men) is under Twitter fire for his new show, United States of Al concerning his handling of an Afghan character.

Anti-Asian ATL Spa Shootings; Yaphet Kotto Passes; Sharon Osbourne Racist?; Justice League Reviews; What's Race-Fishing?; An Alternative Capt. America? Elliot Page & Umbrella Academy & More-Mid Week In Review Airs WED 8pm

 

We're black at it again, loyal AFROnerdists!  Pull up a seat and check out a new installment of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100.  Join your highly favored AFROnerdist hosts as they dissect the following issues:  yet another U.S. shooting massacre but this time it appears that Asian-American communities are being targeted; legendary actor and Bond villain, Yaphet Kotto (Alien, Live and Let Die) passes at 81; notable music manager and media personality, Sharon Osbourne has gotten caught in a racial glue trap after defending her friend, journalist, Piers Morgan from his racial kerfuffle. It appears that Osbourne has made some racially insensitive remarks in her timeline as well;  thoughts about what to expect from Zack Snyder's Justice League as the 3/18 premiere date approaches and non-spoiler reviews are coming in; 

Just when Dburt was waxing about the conundrum concerning the "blackfishing" phenomenon, now race-fishing is a thing too. Your next book purchase with the black protagonist on the cover may not have anything to do with its contents; Marvel introduces its LGBTQ version of Captain America for a new generation of readers; and now DC's Hourman is getting his closeup via a just-announced movie adaptation;  And lastly, transgender actor, Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page) makes it to the cover of Time Magazine but what does his transition spell for the next season of Netflix' Umbrella Academy?   

 Oh...and P.S.  What about the growing debate over the Grammys? Specifically, rapper, Lil Baby's anti-police brutality performance that some critics are deeming to be exploitative. Even some activists are being labeled grifters from Black death....hmm.

Revered Graphic Novelist, Pablo Dura Returns (Lincoln Brigade); Dburt's Twitter Convos (RE: Blackfishing, Comic Book Collecting, Black Esteem) ; Zack Snyder on Marvel ; Boxing Legend, Marvin Hagler Passes-The Grindhouse Airs SUN, 6pm EST

 

Hey Hey Hey Hey, AFROnerdists!  Pull up a chair and check out a new installment from the Afronerd Radio machine via our Sunday The Grindhouse broadcast airing LIVE at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk100. Today's topics are as follows: famed graphic novelist/writer, Pablo Dura returns to talk about the official U.S. release of his highly anticipated project, The Lincoln Brigade. Dura's Brigade entails the historical account of an integrated group of volunteers (incl. soldiers, technicians, medical personnel, pilots) from the U.S. who served in the Spanish Civil War; Dburt, per usual, will expound on some observations he's made during exchanges on Twitter concerning blackfishing versus blackfacing; the MCU's success versus the DCEU's; weaves versus Jordans.....maybe we should've talked to Timbaland and Swizz Beatz before their recent deal), a recent NYT's piece on Zack Snyder at the advent of the HBO Max release of his "SnyderCut" Justice League film opines about Marvel's popularity juxtaposed with DC's mythology; is Warner Media going to continue working with Snyder (sequels?) if this project wins based on subscriber count and viewership; Is it canonical or is the previous theatrical release?   

Sadly, another legend passes, iconic middleweight boxing giant, Marvelous Marvin Hagler dies at 66 and purportedly due to negative effects to the COVID-19 vaccine; a Georgetown Law professor is fired for her racially biased remarks on a Zoom call levied against Black students;  the ghost of Don Imus looms large with HS basketball announcer making racially disparaging remarks about kneeling Black female players;  And lastly, not quite reparations, but close....an L.A. County official has announced plans to possibly return beachfront property to the family of the original black owners who lost the property due to racial intimidation and government seizure.

Final Wandavision?; Charlamagne on Real Time; So There's A Referendum on Speedy Gonzales, Pepe Le Pew & Dr. Seuss?; Candace Owens vs Black Culture; Disney's Raya; Coming 2 America-The Grindhouse Airs @6pm EST

 

Hey folks! Let's just dig in....it's another episode of Afronerd Radio's The Grindhouse broadcast-airing this Sunday at 6 p.m., courtesy of the BTalk 100 internet platform.  The topics to be covered are the following:  Disney+'s wildly popular Wandavision streaming series just aired its final episode this weekend? And we have our thoughts. And is it the finale for the show?; NYC's The Breakfast Club radio personality appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher this past Saturday and some of our listenership didn't think that he gave a stellar performance when it came to discussing the body politic. What say you?  

Well, we never did discuss the announcement that 6 books will no longer be published from the extensive Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog due to racist imagery, and now the milieu is pointing to other time-honored pop culture IPs (i.e. Speedy Gonzales, Pepe Le Pew) as being "problematic." ; a RedState.com piece places focus on Black conservative pundit,  Candace Owens for having a skewed if not, inaccurate commentary on "Black" culture; Hat tip to film historian, Sergio Mims for hipping the "steam engine" to this uplifting story-a Black female entrepreneur is transforming 12 acres of land into a 25M tech hub in Mississippi; Lastly, Dburt checked out Netflix' Pacific Rim: The Black, Raya and The Last Dragon and Coming 2 America..... 

Oh and what about actress, Rosario Dawson campaigning for a La Borinquena Netflix series?

Acclaimed Comics Editor, Joe Illidge Discusses Black Guide to Comics & MPLS Sound GN; DC Power Broker/Civil Rts Icon, Vernon Jordan Passes; Dr. Seuss' Racial Past; Rep. Maxine Waters & Meg Talk; Mid Week in Review Airs WED, 8pm @BTalk100

 

Welcome to another fact-finding, fiery installment of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk100 platform.   Join your favored AFROnerdist hosts as they use their pocket Hubble Space Telescope to analyze the following topical phenomena:  the hardest working comic book creator/editor (DC Comics, Valiant, Milestone Media)  and friend of our "steam engine," Joseph Illidge stops by to shed some light on two exciting projects bearing his handiwork-The Access Guide to the Black Comic Book Community and an upcoming Prince tribute comic, MPLS Sound;  The gentleman of many hats-Civil Rights legend, business executive, attorney and DC power broker, Vernon Jordan passes at 85;  6 books will no longer be published from the extensive Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog due to racist imagery and to keep in line with today's sensibilities; our thoughts about a recent Harper's Bazaar sponsored tete a tete between the esteemed CA Congresswoman, Maxine Waters and "WAP" rap performer, Megan Jovon Ruth Pete aka Megan Thee Stallion:

 

popular actor, Winston Duke (Black Panther, US) is poised to portray iconic Black nationalist and Pan-Africanist, Marcus Garvey in an Amazon project entitled Marked Man;  Dburt will probably ask "The Uncanny" Daryll B (a continuation of Sunday's Grindhouse discussion) his opinion of the recent (Black) Superman reboot with JJ Abrams and Ta-Nehisi Coates; is the Hogwarts Legacy VG channeling Cyberpunk 2077 with gender customization features.....I guess the Mr. Potato Head redux is involved as well and lastly (we think).....Ray Fisher continues his attack on DC Films and Geoff Johns is in his crosshairs this time regarding racial insensitivity concerns.
