Due to time constraints, let’s just get into the matter at hand, shall we? You know the drill….Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review airs every Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100 internet broadcasting platform.  Join your highly favored AFROnerdist hosts as they unpack the following (mid) weekly topics: HBCUs rejoice (well Morehouse and Spellman Colleges, specifically), famed designer Ralph Lauren is partnering up with the two aforementioned schools for a clothing line harkening back to 20s through the 50s; a new opera based on the Emmett Till lynching has raised the ire of activists due to the centering of the White author (and White guilt) over the actual African-American tragedy; our thoughts about the current box office battle between superhero films, The Batman and Spiderman: No Way Home and why Spidey is apparently outpacing “Bats.”  Also….why exactly haven’t audiences been allowed to get a sufficient Robin story from any recent Batman movie iterations;  

  

If time permits, a brief discussion on the Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearings for SCOTUS; 

A few months ago we at Afronerd radio spoke about the tragic passing of musician and music/pop culture critic, Greg Tate but a recent MSN.com article posits who should (or could) inherit Tate’s rather large Black culturally introspective mantle; picking up where we left off a few shows ago (sorry for the preemption), Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, the father of popular actress, Zendaya Coleman, made some recent remarks about how Black fathers of successful children are conspicuously removed from the media as it relates to being architects of their scions’ accomplishments; Dburt noticed something about The Simpsons that’s worthy of discussion, especially the recent “A Serious Flanders” episode

     

Lastly, the return of Afro Samurai in a relaunch under Titan Comics….is there more to this announcement? Let’s discuss. 

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
