Get Shrek'd

My sister reviews a list she made of things she looks for in a man.

I broke my arm, I’m on painkillers, this episode is the result.

Recorded on the 20th Anniversary of the first Shrek, Logan Flinders & Shrek Theologian Jaya Chakka take a deep dive into the cultural impact that the Shrek franchise has had on society. They also look into Chris Farley's Shrek, some scathing reviews by the Guardian, and the musical masterpieces the movies therein contain.

After a year, we finally return to the movie that started it all - Shrek 2. In this episode, we pick up where we left off with Fiona being sung to by the fairy godmother. By the end of this episode, we meet Puss-in-Boots, understand the scale of the quest, and get a deeper understanding of racial tensions within families. Shrek 2 is the intellectual property of DreamWorks Animation LLC, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, itself a subsidiary of Comcast's NBCUniversal.
