When Dburt holds "the microphone like a grudge" that must mean that it's time for Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review broadcast!  Listen to our weekly musings each and every Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 cyber-radio platform.  Listen to your Wakandan empowered AFROnerdists discuss the following issues:  we've been meaning to talk about Tina Knowles' Profiled: The Black Man documentary just as a matter of record but now there's a mounting Change.org campaign to cancel this much-needed focus on the damaging effects of stereotypes on Black male life;  comedic actor, Patton Oswalt has some thoughts/complaints about the recent structural changes with the digital comic book distribution  platform, Comixology and its merger with Amazon;  notable British actor, David Tennant may be reprising his highly-touted Kilgrave character (Netflix' Jessica Jones) for a future MCU related project;    

Another issue, we overlooked......another Dave Chappelle controversy, this time dealing with his cancellation of an affordable housing project slated for construction in his Ohio neighborhood.  Is Chappelle the villain or the savior?

 

So Marvel's Netflix platform is being removed only to reappear on Disney plus?  Hmm..what does that mean for the future of Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage?  Let's discuss.  So legendary actor, Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Madalorian, The Boys) might be eyed for Marvel's Mephisto character?  Things are getting very interesting... And lastly, DC Animated Shorts may be getting its closeup and Constantine looks to be the first for consideration.

Oh and lest we forget...Godhood Comics IP, The Antagonists are getting the TV adaptation treatment.  A Black family of super-powered villains is garnering attention?  We're all ears (and eyes).
