Making it plain! It's Afronerd Radio and it's also our Grindhouse podcast airing this Sunday at 6pm eastern.  And then there's the topics: DC Universe's Doom Patrol premiered its SECOND episode with Victor Stone a/k/a Cyborg making his TV live action debut; actor, Malik Yoba is reprising his role in the NY Undercover reboot at ABC-TV; more fallout over the Jussie Smollett alleged faux racial attack case (in the wake of a REAL white supremacist threat that was thwarted); black celebrity couple, Russell Wilson and singer, Ciara face online backlash for their mostly white employee photobombing selfie highlighting their new partnership with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA); but then that calls into question the dearth of black agents, doesn't it?;  NPR highlights a new urb-alt rock performer from Kenya now residing in Minneapolis, JS Ondara; then there's the very expected remaining Marvel Netflix shows' (Punisher, Jessica Jones) cancellations; a faction of the internet are apparently shocked over a 48 year old Playboy interview with actor, John Wayne that put his biases on display (who didn't know this?);  and is there a Captain Marvel bias on the part of some fanboys as we approach the film March 8th release? Afrofuture talk took place on CBS Morning this week;  Lastly, thoughts about Jordan Peele's Twilight ZoneCBS All Access trailer.  Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
