In Episode 75 of CEREBRO, the SEASON 2 FINALE, Connor and Marvel writer Zeb Wells are sung to sleep by Eleanor Murch, the nefarious Nanny! Created by Louise and Walt Simonson, Nanny and her special Lost Boy, Peter the Orphan-Maker, have been peculiar thorns in the X-Men's side for decades. Now, after Zeb's critically-acclaimed series Hellions, they have become unlikely fan favorites. The CEREBRO character file on Nanny and the Orphan-Maker begins at 51:16. (Content Advisory: Nanny and Peter's story includes child abuse, emotional abuse in general, brainwashing, and non-consensual body modification.) CEREBRO Season 3 will premiere in May! Thank you as always for listening.

In Episode 110 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Patrick Sullivan get the scoop with the tenacious Trish Tilby! Created by Louise Simonson and Butch Guice, hard-nosed news anchor Trish debuted in the 80s run of X-Factor as Hank McCoy's love interest. While that relationship didn't survive the turn of the millennium, Trish and her broadcasts have remained a fixture of the broader Marvel universe. In an unplanned and unexpected coup for this episode's timing, she recently had a memorable turn in the animated series X-Men '97. The CEREBRO character file on Trish Tilby begins at 1:55:16. (Content Advisory: Trish and her stories serve to represent the news media's treatment of marginalized people, which is discussed generally in this episode.) You can support CEREBRO on Patreon!

Episode 110: Trish Tilby (feat. Patrick Sullivan)

In Episode 109 of CEREBRO, Connor and Marvel editor Annalise Bissa hunt the most dangerous game with the arrogant Arcade! Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, spoiled brat Arcade never really grew up, instead becoming a whimsical assassin and creating Murderworld, a grisly amusement park of death. The CEREBRO character file on Arcade begins at 58:02, after some hopefully soothing conversation about the new From the Ashes X-Men relaunch taking place this summer. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Steven Attewell, featured in Episode 97 on Sebastian Shaw, who recently died of cancer. Steven was an essential part of the CEREBRO community and wrote in wonderful questions for nearly every single episode, including this one. (Content Advisory: Arcade's story includes child abuse, domestic violence, and torture.) You can support CEREBRO on Patreon!
