Bonjour, people! It's Saturday, it's hot and it's The Grindhouse! Stop by today at 6pm and check out the latest in our "double feature" programming. First up, there's The Comic Shoppe featuring your hosts Dburt, Captain Kirk and the Indestructible Daryll B. The pulp infused (or is that enthused) issues up or grabs this week are: the revelations and expectations coming out from this year's San Diego Comic Con..thus far; our thoughts on the new straight to DVD release of DC's Flash centric Flashpoint Paradox story line; Dburt admits to being corrected regarding minority representation while in the midst of reading Marvel's Young Avengers; discussing how video game consoles and Netflix have changed the "game" (pardon the pun) relating to alternative programming (i.e. Heroes, Game of Cards, Orangeis the New Black and Hemlock Grove); Beware the Batman makes its debut and Dburt vents his frustration pertaining to the lack of minority characters in video games (dlc's included!!). Call the hosts live at: 646-915-9620.
Batting clean up, we have Afronerd Radio starting at 7pm sharp. Join Captain Kirk and Dburt as they unpack the following current event laden issues: the crew discuss some important films worth viewing (and some not so much)..i.e. Fruitvale Station, 12 Years A Slave, The Butler and more; President Obama weighs in on the Zimmerman verdict; a heroic honorable mention for our Blue Area segment; notables Bill Cosby, Larry Elder and Charles Barkley catch some heat over the Martin tragedy and lastly, picking up from last week-can the new Knewton educational software change how (and how much) the user learns?
