The HISTORY® Channel will premiere the new nonfiction series Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman hosted and executive produced by the Academy Award-winning actor on Tuesday, November 9 at 10pm ET/PT. Produced by Freeman and producer Lori McCreary’s production company, Revelations Entertainment, the eight one-hour episode series will reveal in detail history’s greatest escapes from some of the most notorious prisons in the world.

Famous jailbreaks are the stuff of legend as their true stories are often untold. Now, with dramatic recreations, dynamic storytelling and cutting-edge visual effects, escapes from infamous prisons like Alcatraz will come to life in graphic detail. Hosted by Freeman, each episode will unearth every step of an inmate’s meticulous plan, the escape route and the intense manhunt that immediately followed.

Episodes will feature escapes from prisons ranging from Alcatraz, Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY, the HM Maze Prison in Northern Ireland, to the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in

Tennessee and more.

Great Escapes with Morgan Freeman is produced for The HISTORY Channel by Revelations Entertainment. Lori McCreary, James Younger, Kelly Mendelsohn, and Geoffrey Sharp are executive producers for Revelations Entertainment. Jennifer Wagman and Max Micallef are executive producers for The HISTORY Channel.

Night of the Animated Dead; Titans S3; Bay Area Legend, Zumbi Passes; War for Wakanda VG; My Hero Academia Live Action?; Arrow S9??; Y: The Last Man Will B Different: Shang-Chi B.O. Predictions: The Grindhouse Airs 6pm EST

http://www.afronerd.com/2021/08/night-of-animated-dead-titans-s3-bay.html

 



Time definitely is not guaranteed, folks!  I'm often reminded of the Prince 1999 lyric-"2000 zero zero party over oops out of time"  during these trying, truncated and communicable diseased times.  Anyway...let's jump to it! Listen to a new installment of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse broadcast airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 internet radio platform.  Your gamma irradiated AFROnerdist hosts will be highlighting the following issues: whelp, we didn't see this coming-it seems that the WB are getting ready to release an animated version of the 1968 George Romero horror classic, Night of the Living Dead.  Take a peak at this trailer:


 

We will finally give our impressions of the recently released third season of Titans (formerly part of the DC Universe streaming service) now being shown on HBO Max ; another Black male maturing hip hop artist passes prematurely-Bay Area legend Steve "Zumbi" Gaines of Zion I dies at 49:


It appears that T'challa has to save the Avengers from themselves once again but this time it's in virtual/video game form.  More details are getting revealed about the forthcoming War of Wakanda DLC for the Marvel's Avengers VG;  Apparently, Legendary Entertainment will be producing a My Hero Academia anime to live action translation and they have director Shinsuke Sato on board and making his English-language debut;  is Stephen Amell really coming back for another season of the CW's Arrow after it was cancelled 2 seasons ago?;  More information is coming out about Hulu's upcoming graphic novel to streaming series, Y: The Last Man and as expected the '02 comic must be updated to pivot toward today's sensibilities concerning gender and identity;  Lastly, predictions are coming in for the highly anticipated Marvel film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and may fall below expectations.  And then there's Disney CEO, Bob Chapek's use of the term "experiment" to describe Shang's theatrical release strategy (versus the simultaneous streaming option).  We give our thoughts.

How to Pronounce ‘Shang-Chi’ Because it’s Super-Important for the Marvel Universe

https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2021/08/15/how-to-pronounce-shang-chi-because-its-super-important-for-the-marvel-universe/

The “Chi” part is easy. “Chee.” Rhymes with “Kree.” Technically the “Ch” is not precisely the same as in English “Chad” or “Chocolate,” but it’s close enough for conversation amongst non-fluent Chinese speakers. The “Shang” is said the same way …

https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2021/08/14/why-tiya-sircar-should-be-sabine-wren-in-ahsoka/
