BGN interviews the cast of the new Hulu original series Life & Beth. Featured in the interviews are: Amy Schumer (Beth), Michael Cera (John), Laura Benanti (Jane – Beth’s Mother), Violet Young (Young Beth), Kevin Kane (Matt), Yamaneika Saunders (Kiana), and LaVar Walker (Lavar).

Beth’s life would look pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with. She makes a good living as a wine distributor. She’s in a long-term relationship with a successful guy and lives in Manhattan. When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. We’ll go on her journey towards building a bigger, bolder, and more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy, and moving forward.

Interviewer: Stacey Yvonne

Video Editor: Jamie Broadnax

All 10 episodes of Life & Beth will premiere on March 18, only on Hulu.

Salutations with a side order of crumpets and cornbread to our ever loyal listenership! It's time for another sonic excursion through the Blerd universe courtesy of Afronerd Radio's The Grindhouse, airing each and every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern on BTalk 100.  Listen to your vengeful Gotham residing AFROnerdists hosts unpack the following blerd related issues:  the long-awaited and highly-anticipated The Batman film finally hit theaters this weekend and we have our thoughts and first impressions; How does it stand up against preceding iterations of the "Caped Crusader?" And does it relate to other DC IPs going forward?; Amazon Prime's The Boys franchise continues to worldbuild via animation with a new series entitled, The Boys: Diabolical; 

     

A recent Comic Book Resources piece posits that Wakanda's Dahomey female tribe inspired Dora Milaje are the Black Panther's greatest assest; controversy ensues when only four players (from HBCUs) out of 324 were invited from the influential NFL combine;  Paramount Plus' Picard series (2nd season) started back up; Will Smith's I am Legend film purportedly will get a sequel co-starring Michael B. Jordan;  Fox News conservative talking head, Tucker Carlson had some racially questionable thoughts about Supreme Court jurist nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson and her past academic performance (funny...he never had similar concerns for past SCOTUS nominees):

Will the Hulu streaming versions of Alien and Predator resurrect those IPs from past failures on the big screen?  And what is the deal with Kanye West's latest song/video, "Easy?"  Should someone check on actor and comedian, Pete Davidson since the video appears to threaten his life?  Is this going too far with merging real life and alleged art?

One of our own, former cohost, Claire Lanay, stars in the highly-anticipated Ava Duvernay helmed dystopic HBO Max streaming show, DMZ, based on the same eponymous DC graphic novel series:

 

And if there weren't enough trailers premiering this week, we absolutely must discuss the Disney plus, Obi-Wan Kenobi  preview that hit the cyber-webs a few hours ago:

 

And where is The Batman?....spoiler discussion that is; it looks like the Jeffrey Wright/Jim Gordon Gotham PD series for HBO Max has been canceled; there's talk of Will Smith rebooting the I am Legend franchise but this time with the inclusion of Michael B. Jordan; thoughts about the Crown Act bill which addresses African-American hairstyle discrimination at the workplace;  Picard the second season, on Paramount plus; Lastly, our impression of the Amazon animated anthology series, The Boys: Diabolical debuted last week.
