from Afronerd Radio · host Afronerd Radio
Ok people, let's just jump into the fray, shall we? Listen to the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review (MWIR) airing this Wednesday at 7pm eastern. Your resident AFROnerdist podcasts will be tackling the following issues: cleaning up topics that we didn't get to from the last show; an event honoring iconic educator/activist, Dr. Angela Davis is abruptly canceled due to Davis' alleged past pro Palestinian comments; more discussions that Black Villains do Matter in fiction as Superman (under the direction of Brian Michael Bendis) may have met his match in Robinson Goode; a third Captain Marvel trailer is released apparently defining the premise of the movie more clearly but will the film push the needle for female superheroes beyond DC's Wonder Woman?; perhaps we will address Pres. Trump's Oval Office address (ponderous!); more on upcoming movies for 2019; Star Trek 4 is shelved after director exits; it appears that investigations are afoot after the Surviving R. Kelly doc (that's all it takes after 25 years?) And lastly, Marvel president, Kevin Feige (while interviewed at Sunday's Golden Globes) gets a bit more candid about the Fox/Disney merger and the expected usage of more characters. Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
