Welcome to Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review (MWIR) podcast airing every Wednesday at 7pm eastern. Join our regular cast of “AFROnerdists” as they unpack varied pop/pulp/political topics…i.e.: the highly anticipated Captain Marvel teaser trailer hit the internets this week; discussing the unsavory, if not inaccurate aspects of the recent Botham Jean police killing; Netflix announces a live action Avatar: The Last Airbender streaming series that promises to NOT be whitewashed; the Mary Poppins Returns trailer also hit the cyberwebs (with a spry nonagenarian Dick Van Dyke dancing!); early pics of Joaquin Phoenix’ alleged 70s era Joker film hit the nets; rumor has it that there might be a Blade Runner: 2049 TV series in the works; Netflix (again) premieres the anime to live action translation of Bleach on their streaming platform; thoughts about the recent release of the “in-canon” The Predator film; And Marvel cancels Chelsea Cain’s The Vision series without explanation before its fourth quarter launch; should Nigerian actress, Cynthia Evo portray African-American abolitionist hero, Harriet Tubman in an upcoming biopic?; more Marvel streaming shows to come? And lastly, Pam Lifford has been named president of Warner Bros new Global Brands and Experiences Division (we will try to figure out what that means). Call in LIVE at 646-915-9620.
And here’s some cutting room footage (SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL! YA DIG?) from Afronerd Radio’s coverage of last month’s ’18 Afropunk Festival:
