Does Jordan Peterson ever outline specific criticisms of specific radical theorists (Foucault, Adorno, Derrida etc.)?

Every time I heard him criticize critical theory (what he strangely calls "postmodern neo-Marxism"), it's something vague about "relativism," "destroying the foundations of the West," or "denying biological realities," etc.  Does he ever address Foucault's views on power-knowledge, Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, Derrida's ideas on differance, etc.?  Whenever I hear him speak on the subject it seems like he has a very superficial or flawed understanding.  I was curious if he ever deals with specific theories or ideas.

From what I've seen, no. He doesn't know what he's talking about. That said, life's too short to spend it sifting through Peterson's massive online oeuvre.

He *does* talk about Heidegger a bit, but he makes a hash of it (such as getting hung up on the capital "B" in Heidegger's "Being," as though he has no understanding that alll nouns are capitalized in German.)

But who knows, maybe a Peterson sub could point you to specific discussions.
