Ok..we're just going to jump straight to the festivities! It's the first of November and we have a precarious and divisive national election ahead of us next week, so let's delve into our hobbies and entertainment if Armageddon is a comin'. Listen to the latest installment of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse-airing this Sunday at 6pm eastern. Your (sometimes) comported AFROnerdist broadcasters will be highlighting the following topics: legendary James Bond actor, Sean Connery passes at 90 with many folks wondering is this also the deathknell of classic Hollywood cool and vigor?; Justice League/Cyborg actor, Ray Fisher gets even more specific regarding his bias claims against director, Joss Whedon; finally, Disney+'s The Mandalorian streaming series started its second season this past weekend and the show didn't disappoint with surprises and/or Easter eggs; we never did speak about DC's upcoming Future State story arc....essentially what would happened to varied DC characters (or their mantles) if fast forwarded many years into the future. As a teaser, we get a rather badass depiction of Nubia, the black Wonder Woman (is this Diana Prince's sister or someone else?) illustrated by Alita Martinez-
And in even more DC news, two former editors from the comic giant are pursuing litigation for racial discrimination claims as a reason for lack of career advancement ; the Root posits that because rapper, Lil' Wayne (and 50 cent) publicly placed his support behind President Trump (more specifically, his platinum plan), it must mean that too many black men are wishing to be White (okaaay....stretching that a bit, huh); man....every graphic novel is being made into a film or series...i.e Image's The Strange Talent of Luther Strode is being developed as a film by new production company, Allnighter; oh...how did Dburt miss this Netflix soon to be (hopefully) Christmas classic movie, Jingle Jangle that is a not so thinly veiled homage to Steampunk (or is that Steamfunk?) Oh and did we mention that it stars Forest Whitaker, Anika Noni Rose, Keegan Key and Phylicia Rashad? Hundalasiliah!
