NYCC Approaches, Tuskegee Airmen Comix & BLM Debate @The Grindhouse, Sat 6pm

Teanastellen! (Hello in Amharic/Ethiopian) Pull up a chair (with your phone/tablet,etc) and check out the latest edition of Afronerd Radio's Grindhouse podcast airing this Saturday at 6pm EST.  Join Dburt, Capt. Kirk and "the Uncanny" Daryll B. as they decipher this week Rubik's cube-like conundrums: as the New York Comic Con marches forward, not only are The Defenders (Netflix) scheduled to make an appearance but a teaser trailer for Jessica Jones hits the interwebs; Dburt really digs TNT's 60s crime drama, Public Morals; comic writer, Garth Ennis tackles the Tuskegee Airmen in an upcoming series entitled, Dreaming Eagles; photos of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, courtesy of the CW hit the net; the crew gives their thoughts about original programming coming to Apple as perhaps a competitor to Netflix and Amazon; perhaps in the vein of a Batman vs Superman crossover move, has the forthcoming King Kong: Skull Island film moved from Universal to Warner Bros to wrestle Godzilla? And lastly, our impressions of Zack Snyder's comments levied toward the Ant-Man film and the perceived seriousness of prospective WB/DC comic films.

For the second half, when we delve into more socio-political fare, the good folks at Podcast Juice stop by to engage in a fruitful debate about the efficacy of Black Lives Matter. Is it only about police misconduct claims or is it appropriate to include intraracial urban violence under the BLM banner? (Dburt say "yes" resoundingly); Retired tennis phenom, James Blake gets manhandled by the NYPD; Waxing on the Venus and Serena showing at US Open. And Dburt questions Donald Trump (again) on labeling fellow Republican presidential aspirant, Dr. Ben Carson an "OK doctor"  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
