How the Internet Became Shrek’s Swamp
On today’s episode, Rachelle and Madison chronicle the long, complicated life of Shrek online. They argue that the film, which premiered in 2001, was primed to become an internet meme before Shrek fans even got their hands on it. And then they explain all the different iterations, some funny and some downright creepy, of Shrek content that have kept the green ogre alive on the web for 20 years.
You can check out the Shrek syllabus here.
Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder and Derek John.
