Deep Thoughts About Shrek TEASER

Podcasts are like onions…they’ve got layers. 

In this patron-exclusive bonus episode, Emily takes a look back at Shrek, the charming ogre who entertained her young son. Though the movie is still laugh-out-loud funny at times, those guffaws come with unfortunate sides of fat-phobia, misogyny, and bio-essential transphobia that is truly ugly (unlike Fiona the ogress who is merely green). More than two decades after its initial release, the Disney diss track that launched a franchise is responsible for some of the hilarious, the recognizable, and the shoddily-built furniture in our minds. 

Once upon a time, two sisters gave a whole new perspective on a beloved, twisted fairytale film. But only for patrons. Really, really.

(Psst! You can be a patron, too! It's easy.)
