DC's Black Panther; Pacific Rim; POC Villainy; On My Block-The Grind @6pm ET - a podcast by dburt aka Afronerd

For a change and brevity's sake, let's just make it happen!  It's the Grindhouse podcast and it airs per usual, every Sunday at 6pm eastern.  Join our regular and intermittent Jaeger podcast crew members (Claire Lanay, Daryll B., Capt. Kirk and Dburt) as they wax about the following topics:  Dburt delves deep into his fascination with writer Christopher Priest's version of the Black Panther for DC, The Red Lion (think African warlord as opposed to benevolent king); Pacific Rim: Uprising was released this weekend and we give our impressions; noted progressive hip hop artist, Killer Mike reasserts being a pro gun advocate by making a PSA courtesy of the NRA (hey we can rap too); the Glover Brothers (both Donald and Stephen) part ways with FX over a proposed Deadpool animated series due to the vaunted "creative differences" tagline; it's debatable if the hero paradigm has shifted toward more minority representation post Black Panther's success but what about the villain role? Can comics handle more layered villains of color without falling into stereotypes?; Netflix has another coming of age teen series with minority protagonists entitled On My Block; Syfy's Krypton pilot premieres; what about that Tomb Raider reboot? Street Fighter and Astro City are getting ready for their TV close-ups; X-Force makes an appearance in the latest Deadpool 2 trailer; discussing more about the plot line possibilities in Black Lightning; more on the WB's Future Quest comic series; And lastly, how real is self driving tech after the untimely death of a pedestrian due to an Uber malfunction?  Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
