Happy New Year to our stalwart supporters and listeners! We're keeping it simple, citizens! This will be the last show for 2021, so we will keep it topical for the last week of the year as well as an assessment in Black blerd pop culture in '21.  Check out this special Year in Review during the "Mid-Week" tonight at 8 p.m. eastern on the mighty BTalk 100 internet broadcasting network.   Included with a rundown of notable events in 2021, the crew will be discussing: Gen-Z' apparent discovery of the classic hiphop trio, De la Soul, courtesy of the end credits song, "Magic Number" featured in Spider-man: No Way Home; iconic football coach, sports commentator and VG brand master, John Madden passes at 85; Dburt admittedly winced at the sight of a very human-like android, Amera and how society may be on the cusp of the "uncanny valley" as AI advances:

 

Another MCU IP, Ghost Rider, might be next for the reboot treatment but who will portray the demon of vengeance? Another The Batman trailer hits the cyberverse and we have our thoughts:

  

As the popular Black female-centered HBO series, Insecure comes to a close, some folks on Twitter were inquiring about the need for  Black male-oriented "crew" series.  Unfortunately, the request was met with a strange bit of vitriol; Basketball greats, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Lebron James have a bit of a virtual dust-up online over COVID, and lastly, #ihadawhitefriend trends on Twitter for another "shame on you" reason.

Legendary anti-apartheid activist, theologian, and South African Archbishop, Desmond Tutu passes at 90; remember when critics oftentimes would exclaim that you can't bet on a career centered on hip hop or video gaming (yours truly used to be one of those early critics)?  Well, proof that past criticisms were folly can be seen with the announcement of the opening of Japan's first Esports High School; Dburt finally got the chance to check out the Russo Brothers' produced documentary about the famed Marvel vs. DC rivalry entitled, Slugfest now streaming on Roku:

 

  

Dburt stumbled across a growing debate concerning who is the most impactful and best-selling artist, the late Michael Jackson or popular Canadian rapper, Drake (really?); thoughts about the Kim Potter trial and verdict; Michael B. Jordan and tennis great, Serena Williams have a new collaboration VC deal with an HBCU grad;  And if time constraints permit, perhaps we can squeeze in a discussion about the Matrix reboot, Andrew Garfield continuing with his version of Spider-man and a new direction  (in print) for Marvel's Punisher.

The opening salvo for this week's show is simply......can Black men endure?  Alas, another Black man who had an indelible cultural impact, passes from our mortal plane-musician/music journalist, Greg Tate.  Let's just jump into it as we always do, shall we?  Check out the latest installment of the Afronerd Radio "steam engine" better known as our Mid Week in Review airing this (and every) Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 cyber-broadcasting platform.  Join your "sensational" AFROnerdist hosts as they wax the night fantastic concerning these varied topics:  the aforementioned and untimely death of journalist and Black Rock Coalition co-founder, Greg Tate.  The crew discusses his career and cultural significance within the landscape of Black music; Dburt ponders the importance, underestimation, and failure to economically compensate the "black voice" in pop culture and media:

More thoughts about how the MCU will incorporate and address the canonical "mutant struggle" in forthcoming franchise films and streaming IPs; some folks are none too pleased concerning the race and gender tropes being shown in Amazon's new Harlem streaming series and this puts the writer, Tracy Oliver in the crosshairs:

This is absolut BS and would never happen in a barbershop. Just more effed up writing to make black men look like savages. #Harlem #HarlemOnPrime #amazonprime pic.twitter.com/IaerbNZupg

Happy Holidays to our longstanding and loyal Afronerd Radio listenership!  Let's just get right to it, shall we?  Welcome to the latest edition of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse show, airing this (and every) Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 cyber broadcasting platform.  Listen to your "immortal" AFROnerdist hosts rhapsodize on the following topics:  the other Spider-man (there are so many)..ahem, the one that has a penchant for Jordans, Miles Morales, is getting his second closeup, thanks to a new teaser trailer for 2022's Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One):

Black Conservative pundit and professional provocateur, Candace Owens, is back at it again with more performative vitriol asserting that "Black Americans are the most murderous group in America".....and so the clown show begins:

Dburt, as usual, somewhat "tripped" over an oft-looked over but important factoid denoting that there were at least 12 Black scientists involved in the making of America's first atomic bomb famously dubbed the Manhattan Project. One has to ask why isn't this better known?; a recent report exposed a type of virtual reality blackface involving white actors portraying Black characters in VR diversity training simulations (ahem...the irony!);  TheRoot.com article highlighting a recent documentary about jazz-pop saxophonist, Kenny G reignites the debate about the artist's cultural relevance; what is that we're hearing about critics only being allowed to see only 40 minutes of the upcoming Spider-man: No Way Home film for fear of spoilers....we have some theories;  And lastly, if time permits, there;s new revelations from the new printing of the Avengers #50 comic (slimmer She-Hulk), a Red Guardian MCU streaming series and a new book entitled Black Ivy: A Revolt in Style, showcasing bespoke Black men during the Civil Rights/Pro-Black eras who used style as an extension of protest and defiance.
