More Zombie Talk w/Director, Hilton A. Ruiz; Venom Movie & More-TheGrind Sat 6pm

Greetings, people!  Welcome to another round of podcast discourse known as The Grindhouse, powered by Afronerd Radio-airing every Saturday at 6pm EST.  Listen to your favorite podcast New Gods of Apokolips (Claire Lanay, the Uncanny Daryll B., Capt. Kirk and Dburt) unravel this week's Mystery Wagon inspired conundrums: longtime Afronerd Radio comrade and burgeoning filmmaker, Hilton A. Ruiz stops by to talk about his pet project, Zombie With a Shotgun-a web series and now graphic novel; after having seen (maybe/maybe not) the Netflix series, Iron Fist, the crew give their impressions; is Michael B. Jordan being considered for Neo for The Matrix reboot? Are we ready for a Matrix redux?;  and speaking of unsolicited reworkings, a recent CNN article highlights 9 other films that audiences really didn't think needed the cinematic remix treatment; Sony apparently plans to go ahead with a Venom movie but will it have an MCU connection?; and as if the Iron Fist whitewashing concerns weren't any more indicative of the need for cultural reassessment and diversity, the #IAMMAJOR meme site levies a similar critique toward Scarlet Johansson's forthcoming Ghost in the Shell flick; a recent MarySue.com piece extends the Samuel L Jackson-Black British actors debate by asking: "Is Racism in Britain and America Really Different?"; the Hollywood Reporter asserts that some Chinese actors are rethinking their place in Hollywood and opting for meatier roles and bigger paydays in China's growing film market; And lastly, the Russo Bros. expand their roster TV projects with a Quantum and Woody (Valiant Comics)  comic book adaptation.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
