BONUS: But What About Milo?! Comparative Colonialism in Atlantis & Disney’s Lost Empire w/ Leesa Charlotte

Just because the "search" for Atlantis is supremely dangerous and problematic doesn't mean we can't continue to love Milo and his rag tag team! Liv and Leesa Charlotte of Sweetbitter and Cult America discuss the anti-colonial story within Disney's Atlantis contrasted with all about the truths and (deeply racist) lies behind the modern story of Atlantis.
