Wow, is it hot outside in the Big Apple, folks!  As the temperature moves past 100 degrees, we promise to cool you down with facts, fun and not so much fire.  Join Dburt and Capt. Kirk for the latest episode of Afronerd Radio'sMid Week in Review broadcast, airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST.  The topics slated for discussion are: our thoughts regarding an alleged "embargo" for prospective reviewers of the forthcoming Josh Trank, Fantastic 4 reboot to be lifted a day before the film is to be released; Comic Book Resources provides further verification that the New Line Cinema, Shaft reboot is still a "go" (no collabo considered with David Walker-author of the great comic series?); according to the Daily Beast,  a "contest" of sorts involving LA gangs purports to put out a challenge to accomplish 100 kills (gang members and innocents included)....yea Black Lives Matter shouldn't include this (wow); continuing from the Grindhouse episode, football legend, Charles Haley instructs rookie players by telling them to "act white,"; NASA not only affirms that there is another planet that could potentially sustain human life but also that we may not truly be alone in the universe; noted linguist, writer and Columbia U professor, John McWhorter posits that the current antiracism philosophy appears to be perceived as a type of "religion" with fellow scribe, Ta-Nehisi Coates anointed as its priest.  And lastly, Dburt just figured out that the concept of "cool" is unequivocally missing in the 21st century.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
