Episode 025: Kitty Pryde (feat. Stephanie Burt)

In Episode 25 of CEREBRO, Connor and Harvard Professor of English Stephanie Burt sail the high seas with Captain Kate Pryde, Red Queen of the Hellfire Trading Company! Best known as Kitty Pryde or Shadowcat, Kate is the protagonist of much of the classic Claremont run, and has endured as a fan favorite. As the first explicitly Jewish superhero at Marvel Comics, she has often been the lens through which the minority metaphor of the X-Men was most often refracted. The CEREBRO character file on Kate Pryde begins at 1:01:48. (Content Advisory: Kate's story includes grooming of a minor, suicide, torture, antisemitism, rape of another character, a weird alien pregnancy plot, and genocides including the Holocaust.)  Our Sponsors: * Check out Mood and use my code CEREBRO for a great deal: https://mood.com/cerebro Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
