If you're an "X-Men" fan, you should be listening to the "Cerebro" podcast. The host, literary agent/"X-Men" historian Connor Goldsmith, and a guest (usually an "X-Men" writer or fan of some repute) discuss a chosen character — both their history and why they resonate.
The 101st episode of "Cerebro" (released May 2023) featured comic writer Jonathan Hickman, who relaunched the X-Men comics alongside artist Pepe Larraz in 2019 with intersecting miniseries "House of X" & "Powers of X" (the latter pronounced like the number 10). For the episode, they discuss En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse, the most infamous X-Men antagonist not named Magneto.
Writer Louise Simonson and artist Jackson "Butch" Guice created Apocalypse in 1986 as the shadowy villain for their book "X-Factor." He was revealed to be an immortal mutant, possibly the very first one. Born in Ancient Egypt, Apocalypse has shaped the curve of history to Herbert Spencer's survival of the fittest ethos.

After the Madrid Peace conference in 1991, the negotiations in Oslo at 1993 and the autonomy accord in Cairo in 1994, the peace between Palestinians and Israelis looked like a possible prospect at the time. Rashid Masharawi takes a look at the way a number of different people react to the prospect of peace, inside a Palestinian refugee camp, with “Haifa”, which screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
“Haifa” screened at
Festival des Cinémas d’Asie de Vesoul
There is a saying in Greece that could be translated as “you learn the truth from the very young and from the very crazy”. The second part of the saying fits perfectly Haifa, a middle-aged man who gets his nickname from the town he loves, and roams around the refugee camp in a military outfit, spurting words that make people perceive him as the town fool, but also seem quite close to the truth.
