Kirk and the "Uncanny" Daryll B for the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse podcast, airing this Saturday at 6pm EST. The topics up for discussion are: with the Deadpool film burning up the box office for a 2nd week in a row and defying R-rated sci-fi/fantasy conventional wisdom, what is the future of adult rated movies and what films would we want to see that could get the same designation?; Connor Hawke makes an appearance on CW's Legends as the crew discusses his ethnicity and varied looks in Arrow print media; David Walker 's Powerman and Iron Fist comic hits the shelves (as well as a new Shaft book from last week); the long awaited Crouching Tiger sequel comes to Netflix next week; our impressions of the return of the streetcar as exhibited by NYC mayor, Bill De Blasio's ambitious 2,5 billion dollar plan to provide an alternate route for the Brooklyn and Queens boroughs; a MAC Instagram picture of an African-American model's full lips reminds us cyber racism is alive and well; a recent AtlantaBlackStar.com piece highlights the WhereU App and it's intent to recycle the 1.3 trillion in AA spending power back to Black communities.
