February 04, 2019 Shrek/Wreck It Ralph: I’m Gonna Shrek It!
Ogres and glitches and pop culture references, oh my! Villains are kings and kings are villains in these two tales of redemption, identity, and poop-related jokes.

(Note: this was recorded at the end of 2018, so some references may be slightly out of date. We were working on a brand new episode, but a pair of colds has rendered our recording voices unacceptable for a few days!)
