Jussie Triumphant; More on Us & Shazam; Zack Snyder Doubles Down! MWIR 7pm ET

Pretty much like Clint Barton's unerring aim, we're just going to get straight to the point! Welcome to the latest installment of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review (MWIR) podcast-airing this Wednesday at 7:00pm sharp.  The topics to be deconstructed...ARE: Empire actor, Jussie Smollet's false assault charges get dropped and the media goes bonkers-we discuss; more (perhaps with spoilers) on the recent showings of Jordan Peele's Us (no white leads?) and DC/Warner's early viewing of Shazam; noted (and geek polarizing) director, Zack Snyder appears to be "doubling down" on his thoughts about (super)hero mythology in cinema; Mortal Kombat 11's trailer hits the internets and it flips the nostalgia aesthetic on its head; Immortal Hulk #16 rises in value (before it even hits the stands next month); Sony picks up BlackKklansman alum, Matthew Cherry's black girl hair themed animation film, Hair Love;  recent stories about rappers, Future and Cardi B should be a real test for cancel culture, huh? FOX' New Mutants release is uncertain; Alita hits 400M global box office and its STILL might not get a sequel;  And lastly, is it too early to call the Mueller report a bust?  Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
