We're just going to do straight topics, no chaser folks! It's Afronerd Radio's Mid-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 Universe highlighting 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:
the CW in their quest to expand the geek(s) of color palette, have announced a Wonder Girl TV series featuring an actor of Latin descent; Dburt has some thoughts about deconstructing the "black stigmata," internally, externally and legally...oh and he has to explain it first; so is the WB/DC going to the "pull the trigger" on Wonder Woman 1984 or what? Streaming, theaters or both? Venture Bros. saved?......they're working on it; And lastly, another Black Lives Matter critique entitled, The Omission..nuff said.
