Episode 673: Somebody Once Told Me

Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather revisit 2001’s DreamWorks animated feature Shrek, finding a movie stranger and more timeless than the one we expected to find. They overthink the meaning of the swamp, Shrek’s developmental journey, the Romance that develops in to a romance which governs his relationship with Princess Fiona, and what may be the only justified use on film of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
