6 Days & Counting for NYCC! David Walker (Shaft Comic) Stops By The Grindhouse
from Afronerd Radio · host Afronerd Radio
Well the New York Comic Con is just a few days away and it's time for another Grindhouse Mixtape (The Comic Shoppe+Afronerd Radio) broadcast-this Saturday at 6pm EST. And were expecting noted writer/filmmaker, David Walker to stop by to discuss his latest Shaft project with Dynamite Comics. So check out your Podcast Avengers-Daryll B., Capt. Kirk and Dburt as they unravel the following issues: the latest rumor concerning the highly anticipated J.J. Abrams' helmed Star Wars reboot (hint it has something to do with Luke Skywalker); the crew give their breakdown of the latest in fall season TV shows (Resurrection, Sleepy Hollow, Scorpion, Korra, Blacklist, SHIELD, etc); Do the Adam Sandler and Crouching Tiger Netflix deals spell the death knell for theater owners? ; and what sounds like a definite 21st century problem, who inherits your digital estate when you meet your maker (if you believe in an afterlife)?; was DC/Warner correct in apologizing for licensed t-shirts that many interpreted as sexist? ; a White lesbian couple sues a sperm bank for a mixup with a Black donor; Dburt continues his rant about NYC liberalism vs accepted thug life in the DeBlasio administration; is the Secret Service really incompetent or are they setting up the nation's first Black president for a tragic fall?; and lastly, Dburt has multiple anecdotes about Dr. Henry L. Gates' geneaology specials, Louis Armstrong and Dr. Charles Drew-if time permits. Call live at 646-915-9620. "I believe there’s something inherently dangerous when something real becomes mythic. Because when faced with a myth we can’t win. So the mythic must be exposed for what it is. So we can believe in ourselves. Because it’s only what’s in us…the drive to be mythic…that matters." -Lex Luthor
