Peep This Noise episodes
- Frozen IIAnna and Elsa, sovereigns of Arendelle, have been pop culture icons since they debuted on the scene in Frozen in late 2013... Of course, you didn't need us to tell you that. However, their most recent adventure at the end of last year in Frozen II took a turn for the post-colonial. In this episode, we get deep into some headier post-colonial theories; we discuss the ways in which Arendelle defines itself relationally to its neighbors, and we talk about some of Frozen II's pitfalls. We talk about Spivak's concept of the subaltern, and which of the film's characters find themselves discursively excluded as a result of colonialist powers. Hope you enjoy!

56 min - Mr. Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is a literary character with as much cultural history surrounding him as individual works of fiction. In today's episode, we discuss the BBC film Mr. Holmes, which depicts Sherlock as we've never seen him before: aged, forgetful, and almost completely alone. Ian Mckellen and Laura Linney deliver great performances, and we break down our takes on the film in an hour or so. Hope you enjoy!
Note: This cast was recorded remotely in our apartments, in three distinct takes. Our apologies for any audio awkwardness.

Content warning for lots of discussion of racism and some discussion of gender oppression and eugenics.
H.P. Lovecraft is a writer known largely for his "Cthulu Mythos"— think like the book version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, except instead of superheroes, it's ordinary folks losing their minds when confronted with eldritch forces. Lovecraft largely pioneered the genre of cosmic horror... But he was also like, super racist. In this episode, we examine The Shadow Over Innsmouth, one of Lovecraft's more famous tales. We examine the ways in which it revealed some of Lovecraft's racism and bad ideas, and we examine some of the other themes and ideas present in the story.
