Swamp It Up

The girls have chosen Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes (2009) to be the specific Sherlock-ip hill they die on, and honestly, good for them! It's the unhinged take on a classic story that the world needs - much like Shrek. Is that the only thing these two films have in common? You have to listen to find out.

Mari and Riina go FAST into the existential nightmare where we realise this podcast concept can be used for bad as well as good. Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) dir. Jeff Fowler has us break out in cold sweat as it scores higher than we thought on our Shrek-o-meter. 

This time around the girls get really into the Old Guard (2020) dir. Gina Prince-Bythewood because it feels like for once someone made a super hero movie that Gets It. I mean, who doesn't like some well established RULES, sexy fighting and Donkey-like-tenderness? 

What's better than one magician? Two rival magicians! And what's better than two rival magicians? The Shrek Cinematic Universe! Listen to this week's episode to see how the Prestige (2004) dir. Christopher Nolan fares against Shrek 1 and 2 as well as our airtight pitch for a Prestige-themed animatronics ride (hits us up, Universal Studios and/or Disney World). 

Welcome to this sleep deprived special edition episode, where the girls take a look at The Mummy Returns (2001) and bravely expect it to be something more than just a rerun of the first film. Tune in to find out if their positive outlook on life is rewarded or not!

In today's episode the girls take a look at Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) dir. George Miller and discuss the many vehicles in the Shrek franchise. Now whether or not Donkey constitutes as a ride is debatable and up for the listener to decide.

In this episode, we relive Mari's teen years as we watch Les Miserables (2012) dir. Tom Hooper. What are Shrek's religious roots?? Let's find out!

This time we train our well honed Shrek-lenses on a Studio Ghibli classic Spirited Away (2001). Since both Shrek and Spirited Away have won the Oscar for the Best Animated Feature, it should be a piece of cake to compare the two, right, RIGHT? How Shrek does it get? Tune in to find out.

What do you do when you find out an evil, god-like megalomaniac is controlling your life? Well, Shrek and Truman have very different approaches, as we discuss in this week's episode of the Truman Show (1998) dir. Peter Weir.
