Welcome to Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review broadcast airing every Wednesday at 8 pm eastern on the BTalk 100 platform. Due to time constraints, we're just going to delve into the topics slated for discussion: Dburt (and thankfully other folks on social media) was perplexed/angered concerning the above "ghettoized" image of Civil Rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King used by popular songstress, Rihanna to adorn her Twitter page. Is this ignorance, disdain, or a youthful need to "update" for the sake of relatability?; famed attorney and author, Lawrence Otis Graham (Our Kind of People, Member of the Club) dies at 59; several weeks ago we highlighted the exemplary PBS documentary, Mr. Soul, which lends focus to not only the groundbreaking nature of the late 60s/early 70s Black culture TV series but also its host, the late Ellis Haizlip. Now that the doc is out, your "friendly neighborhood" hosts ponder if a rebooted show could exist in today's socio-political climate:
Finally...DC Films has just announced that they are bringing the character, Blue Beetle to the big screen as the studio's first Latinx superhero movie-including Charm City Kings director, Angel Manuel Soto to helm the project; well it looks like Disney is not going to produce a live-action version of their popular animated series, Big Hero 6 based on the late 90s obscure Marvel comic book IP; our impressions of the premiere episode of the CW's Superman and Lois TV series and if the racial inclusivity issues raised by former show writer, Nadria Tucker are warranted; legendary filmmaker, Spike Lee switches to his producer hat for another Netflix project entitled "Gordon Hemingway & the Realm of Cthulhu"
*One thing that Dburt is doing (finally) is investing in cryptocurrency, courtesy of Roundlyx. We would implore our followers to investigate, discern and then explore by using our referral code: afro-87A4BF
