Peep This Noise is a podcast centered on critical analysis of media of all kinds. We’ll be aiming for an open minded, approachable discussion of a variety of topics in literature, film, music, theatre, games, and other forms of art. As we cover various pieces, we examine things like:
Representation of ethnicity, belief, and gender in media;
Framing and representation of disability in art;
How writers explore and portray physical and emotional trauma;
How various genres, including science fiction and fantasy, provide metaphors for and potential solutions to modern society’s most troubling problems, such as violence, hate, and socioeconomic/environmental crises;
Perspectives for critical analysis, including (but not limited to) feminist, queer studies, and Marxist reads of media.

While writing for Kotaku, critic Heather Alexandra once claimed that "criticism is an act of love". And if that's true, boy oh boy, we've got a lot of love for Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Released in 2001, the film is a splashy, colorful, and adventurous romp into some murky colonialist waters.
In this episode, we talk about why we love to hate Atlantis. We examine its many problematic elements, and Nathaniel defends some of the cheap shots we take at the film's issues. Gregg talks about the gut-wrenching pain he endured watching the film with an anthropology degree, and Logan uses the very professional and legitimate term "fake-woke" at least a quarter-dozen times.
Also, perhaps it's fitting, but this episode is a bit difficult to listen to, because Nathaniel and Gregg sound like they're underwater. Perhaps that's fitting, and if you listen close, you might even hear a whale noise.
No seriously. Early on, you might hear a whale noise. Or you might not. Who can say what ended up in this mix?
Hope you enjoy the episode!
