Let's get straight to the crux of the matter, shall we?  Welcome to the umpteenth edition of Afronerd Radio's The Grindhouse broadcast airing every Sunday at 6pm eastern.  Join our regular cavalcade of AFROnerdists as they discuss the following data: social media received an interesting quarantine entertainment treat by way of a table read for charity (actor, Sean Penn's CORE-Community Organized Relief Effort). What was the script reenactment?  One of Penn's most memorable films, Fast Times at Ridgemont High:

Iconic Supreme Court jurist, the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes at the age of 87 and the nation reels for a number of reasons beyond the immediacy of the loss;  it looks like Marvel finally has finally found their She-Hulk as it was just announced that the phenomenal Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) was cast to portray the superhero in the forthcoming Disney plus streaming series;  as legendary comedian, Chris Rock gears up for the 4th season of Fargo, we delve into some of his musings which were showcased in a recent NY Times piece; Oh and our thoughts about Rock waxing about the lost potential for a black "Ocean's Eleven" film that was torpedoed for something more palatable; as expected, DC Universe will just be a digital reserve for their comic archive as their streaming shows will be moved to HBO Max;  more Marvel news, the Hollywood Reporter highlights the Muslim centered directing team that will bring another highly anticipated Disney plus series to life, Ms. Marvel;  and just when we found out the cost of the upcoming PS5 video gaming console ($399 to $499, tentatively), Sony sweetens the pot with more gameplay from their Miles Morales single player game developed by Insomniac Games:

Here's a thought, Halle Berry's "Jinx" character could have (and should have) gotten a James Bond spinoff.  Which gives further credence to Dburt's assertion that there is room for a Black MI6 Bond archetype....hell, what about Cleopatra Jones? 

And lastly, speaking of the Bond universe.....rumor has it that Venom/Bane actor, Tom Hardy might be up to replacing Daniel Craig for future installments.  Call in LIVE at 508-645-0100. 

Oh and what about Netflix' Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous new animated series?

"You took She-Hulk out of the equation, Stark.  And do you know what that's left you with? Jennifer Walters: one of the best lawyers on the east coast!"-Jennifer Walters, ESQ (She-Hulk).

During her interview with Vivica Fox, Trina Braxton shared that Tamar asked her sisters to allow her the opportunity to tell her own story.

And after the allegations of her being violent with her boyfriend David Adefeso, we’re all interested to hear it.

While we’re sure that there is more on the way, Tamar shared some insight on this current process of her healing journey.

See what she had to say below.

“God thank you for saving me! You know my true heart. Despite what the world may think of me, you kept me here for a reason. You are a God of second chances, and this second chance I won’t take for granted. The world can often be a dark place but I must resort to you for my light.

Ladies, have you ever felt like you put all your time and love into your children, job, relationship and family but often forget to love yourself? That is where I have been for the past few years. I believe I have put a lot of time and effort in loving and giving my all to everything else but myself. I have allowed myself to stay in toxic situations including work environments.

I’ve allowed my talents to be used for the wrong reasons. I have allowed myself to be used in too many “angry black girl” narratives. I’m not angry at all.

I have been battling mental health for some time now, and Let me tell y’all is not a joke. Nor is it a reason for anyone to call you “crazy.

I am praying for anyone that is on this same battle.

I’ve realized in this time that the only thing I can control is the things I own.
I want to personally fight for brown girls to have more ownership and not just be a slave to the industry. Black women are the unvalued and unprotected.

I am on a never ending battle to be the best Tamar Braxton I can be. God has brought me through alot so I would like to pass it on to use my voice to help brown women and ALL women in these similar situations. We all have the opportunity to evolve. For now on it’s me vs me. ✨”

Last week, I predicted that the Falcons would win against the Seahawks 20-17, but I was completely wrong as the Seahawks won 38-25. The other game I predicted is that the Cowboys would win against the Rams 30-20, but the Rams won that game 20-17, and the last game was the Broncos and Titans game which I predicted that the Broncos would win 31-17, but the Titans somehow won the game 16-14 because the Titans kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed 4 kicks and still won! Wow! Looked like the Titans were going to lose, but they got lucky! Other than that, I was right that the Cardinals were going to win over the 49ers. I predicted that the Cardinals would win 27-21 but the actual score was 24-20 over the 49ers. That prediction was really close in my opinion! The other game I was right about is that the Steelers were going to win over the Giants. My prediction there was 30-20, but the actual score was 26-16 over the Giants.

Alright let’s get to the predictions for week 2 which starts tomorrow! So, first I am going to predict the Falcons @ Cowboys game. The Falcons are coming off with a loss to the Seahawks and the Cowboys are coming off with the loss to the Rams. I think that the Cowboys will bounce back against the Falcons with a 34-24 win. I think that the Cowboys will play better on both sides of the ball after a frustrating loss to the Rams that there was offensive pass interference which it took away the big play they needed to tie the game up at 20 a peace. Next up, I am going to predict the Rams @ Eagles game. The Rams of course are coming off with the win over the Cowboys and the Eagles are coming off with a heartbreaking loss as they blew a 17 to nothing lead against the Washington Football team. I feel like the Rams might actually beat the Eagles because the Eagles seem to have some injuries on offense and defense, they also wonder how this game is going to turn out poorly for the Eagles since they struggled last week, and the Rams defensive end Aaron Donald is really happy about the win last week. I predict that the Rams will win 33-20. Next, I am going to predict the Washington Football team @ the Arizona Cardinals game. The football team are coming off the historic win over the Eagles as their defensive front sacked Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz 8 times! 8 times and forced 3 turnovers!!! The Arizona Cardinals are coming off with the big win over the NFC champion 49ers!!! I definitely think that the Cardinals will win over the Washington football team. The football team has a really good front 4 defensive linemen such as Ryan Kerrigan. Chase Young, Jonathan Allen, and Montez Sweat, but their secondary can give them problems as Kyler Murray and the dangerous offense will light the defense up with running the ball a lot, Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins who had an outstanding game last week for 14 catches for 151 yards!, and Christian Kirk who didn’t do much last week, but I expect him to be more involved in this offense. The defense of Washington will have problems covering good wide receivers and Kyler Murray will have a ton of time of making good throws to his playmakers. My prediction for this game a 35-17 Cardinals win over the football team. Go Cardinals!!!! Next, I will predict the Broncos @ Steelers game. I have a feeling that the Steelers will win over the Broncos 24-17. Next, I am going to predict the Patriots @ Seahawks game on Sunday Night football. I think this is going to be a good game. I am actually leaning towards the Patriots to win this game 37-34 in a shootout! Cam Newton will show the defense of Seattle that he can’t catch him even though they know! Last, I am going to predict the Saints at the Las Vegas Raiders in their new stadium. I think the Saints can win this game over the Raiders 38-24. I just think that Drew Brees will light up the Raiders defense a lot.

What do you guys think of these predictions? I would like to hear your comments or thoughts on these predictions! As always, stay tuned for prediction updates.
