As usual, we’re “knee-deep” in topical content for this week’s show, so let’s get to it, shall we?  Welcome to a brand new episode from the “steam engine” better known as Afronerd Radio’s Grindhouse, airing every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform.  Listen to the sonic meanderings of your cosmic-powered AFROnerdist hosts as they highlight the following issues: we’ve discussed the groundbreaking but failed FOX Black sci-fi, series, M.A.N.T.I.S. (starring JLA Animated alum, Carl Lumbly) in the past, but in the wake of a Black multi-genre renaissance, why hasn’t it been rebooted?  And if it were to be revised, what should change (or not) to coalesce with today’s sensibilities?

Time to give our impressions of actually three Netflix animated shows running concurrently-Super Crooks, Masters of the Universe: Revelation (part 2), and Arcane; as if we didn’t have enough to worry about with COVID crises, now the Omicron variant is garnering a great deal of attention and concern. Will the current vaccines be able to hold this strain back?  We’ll discuss; so now the fear of a female Dr. Who is being blamed for the uptick in U.K. crime? Let’s discuss; legendary comedian, Dave Chappelle pays a visit to his alma mater, Duke Ellington School of the Arts with mixed results;  there’s been so much talk about noted actor, Idris Elba taking on the James Bond mantle but word  has it that he might be showing up in the next film as a villain (why not an alternate MI6 agent?); And lastly, more details are coming out about the real reason HBO canceled the popular black sci-fi/horror series, Lovecraft Country;
