I suspect Marvel Entertainment/Disney and filmmaker extraordinaire, Ryan Coogler are "thinking of a master plan" concerning the forthcoming Black Panther sequel but rest easy, your AFROnerdist hosts are on the case!  Welcome to another Afronerd Radio engineered broadcast of The Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the rising BTalk 100 internet platform.  The topics to be discussed are: recent Afronerd Radio guest, Chicago film critic, Emmanuel Noisette (E-Man's Movie Reviews)  had a blistering (and warranted) critique of popular writer/Youtuber, Grace Randolph's reporting of an unconfirmed death scene being proposed for the T'Challa character in the Wakanda Forever film, set to be released in '22; 

Our thoughts about the recent release of the DC Animated movie, Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1, based on the eponymous graphic novel limited series by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale; And then there's the always on time and expected racial misstep by corporations that try to honor Black holidays, culture and traditions.  An Atlanta, Georgia IKEA furniture retailer commemorated Juneteenth with a very stereotypical menu for employees causing outrage; and speaking of race......BET's upcoming Karen film is causing quite a stir for mimicking Jordan Peele's Get Out.....badly;   

 And then there's a more "fleshed out" trailer for James Gunn's Suicide Squad and again, we give our impressions...oh and we never did discuss, Gunn's DC/Marvel crossover dreams! 

Reports are coming in that filmmaker, Tyler Perry will be expanding his brand to include a theater district, restaurants and retail shops; lastly, the LA Times gives Black indie comic creators their closeup.

Salutations to our longstanding AFROnerdist listenership!  It's that time AGAIN! Check out the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review internet show airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform.  Your highly favored AFROnerdist hosts will be waxing about the following issues:  somehow we overlooked a major caveat attached to the He-Man animated Netflix reboot but purportedly there will be a racial swap with the character and as expected longtime fans are none too pleased; in the wake of the European Championship football finals, it appears that Black UK players are experiencing an uptick in racial animus from alleged fans on social media;  

rising star and fan-favorite graphic novel illustrator, Robson Rocha passes at 41 from COVID-19; the highly anticipated Marvel Studios' Black Widow movie finally premiered-post pandemic-to very respectable box office receipts and we give you our impressions;  late astrophysicist and original Cosmos host, Carl Sagan had some pretty insightful things to say about race and Star Wars in a revisited viral '78 interview as a guest on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show: Hat tip goes to long-time Afronerd Radio supporter, Sergio Mims for pointing our team toward a black historical anecdote regarding a national  spelling bee champion during the early 20th century which allows us to connect that story to the more recent case of Zaila Avant-garde  

We need to talk about Critical Race Theory if time permits....what (and why) is it being discussed as an educational tool?  And more importantly, why the controversy?  And lastly, it looks like San Diego Comic-Con is making another virtual return for 2021.

Prime Video and IMDb TV, Amazon’s premium free streaming service, today announced a licensing deal with Sony Pictures Television which will provide both streaming services a suite of classic television series from legendary producer Norman Lear. This collection marks the largest volume of Norman Lear complete series content ever available to stream.

227 and Diff’rent Strokes will launch on Prime Video on Thursday, July 15, and will be available to Prime members at no additional cost to their membership. Additional titles including The Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, and Sanford will launch on Prime Video later in 2021.

All in the Family, Good Times, Maude, and One Day at a Time will launch Thursday, July 15, on IMDb TV. This will be the first time that episodes of Maude and all seasons of All in the Family are available to stream. 

“Life is a collaboration. Writing, directing and producing films and television is perhaps the most collaborative work of all. In 2018, our Act III Productions sat with the team at Sony Pictures Television and formed a partnership to not only produce new content, but to bring a new awareness to my former Embassy library. That Sony found a home for that library with Prime Video/IMDb TV where new generations could find it, is the best present a man entering his 100th year can have,” said Norman Lear.

At nearly 99 years of age, Norman Lear’s dynamic career in Hollywood has encompassed both the Golden Age and Streaming Era. Lear and his team have captivated hundreds of millions of viewers with their television shows. At one point, Lear was responsible for seven of the top 10 shows in America. Most recently, Lear executive produces and co-hosts LIVE in Front of a Studio Audience…, alongside Jimmy Kimmel. The series set record ratings for ABC and won the Emmy award for Outstanding Variety Special for two consecutive years. 

Lear has enjoyed a successful career writing and producing programs like The Colgate Comedy Hour and The Martha Raye Show, which ultimately lead him to captivating 120 million viewers per week with his iconic shows of the 1970s and 1980s including All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Lear is a 2017 Kennedy Center Honoree, a recipient of the National Medal of Arts in 1999, a winner of the Peabody Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, and a proud member of the inaugural group of inductees into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1984. He has won six Primetime Emmy awards. Lear is a father to six, a grandfather to four, and the husband of Lyn Davis Lear.
