Bitter Root Gets a Director; A Reckoning @The Golden Globes; Jupiter's Legacy @Netflix; SNL's "Black English" Sketch; Venom 2 Trailer; Megalo Box 2; Image's The Good Asian CB-Mid Week in Review Airs @8pm EST

Let's get into it...let's get involved, people! Check out and listen to the latest musings of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review broadcast airing every Wednesday at 8 p. m. eastern, thanks to the good folks at BTalk 100.  The topics to be discussed this (mid) week are: noted actor and rising director, Regina King (One Night in Miami, Watchmen), has been tapped to helm the highly anticipated David Walker penned comic to movie translation of Bitter Root; Controversy hits the vaunted Hollywood Foreign Press Association and The Golden Globes Awards with NBC announcing that they are opting out of broadcasting the show in 2022 due to lack of diversity complaints levied against the HFPA;  our impressions of the live-action CB to streaming translation of Jupiter's Legacy now showing at Netflix;  

And then those criticisms that are coming in after the Elon Musk episode of Saturday Night Live...specifically, the Michael Che penned "Gen Z" sketch. Was it poking fun of AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) or White appropriation of alleged Black culture and dialect?

     

Our thoughts about the new Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer that hit the internets this week:

  

What if society treated human beings akin to a natural resource in the same vein as iron, coal, and gas? Enter young (chess) master, Tanitoluwa Adewumi, who is striving to become the youngest grandmaster coming from the brink of homelessness; 

Just when Dburt thought he was out of anime, Megalo Box: Nomad (and a whole host of other anime titles) pulled him back in; lastly, the "house" of Image does it again-The Good Asian #1 released last week, gives a long overdue POC alternate spin on the detective noir genre.   

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
