Time to make the donuts, people!  Check out a new installment of Afronerd Radio’s Grindhouse broadcast-airing this Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100.   Listen to your favored AFROnerdist hosts wax about the following topics:  Dburt, while perusing a burgeoning Youtuber, Sinnik22 ‘s channel, which is dedicated to curating the late music icon, Prince’s legacy-thought of a potential What ….If? scenario. What if  Purple Rain had been produced by Richard Pryor and Jim Brown’s Indigo Productions?  What if the cult classic film had a black director and financing? Would the film have been equally (or more) impactful to pop culture history?

 A recent Undefeated.com article posits that the late Michael K. Williams’ character, Omar Little, and perhaps the actor himself, taught Black men an alternate perspective of masculinity.

And lastly,  Screenrant.com highlights the growing popularity of the other Wonder Woman (of color), Nubia.  The question remains….when will we see Nubia make her big-screen debut?

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
