This week, Jack and Ben head back to the swamp to revisit Shrek (2001), the animated classic that changed fairy tales forever.

They’ll explore the film’s core message - we’re all a bit weird, full of flaws, but finding people who love us for who we are is what really matters.

The episode kicks off with a review of James McAvoy’s latest thriller Speak No Evil, touching on similar themes of acceptance in a very different way.

Why was Shrek such a massive hit? From its iconic cast and soundtrack (All Star, anyone?) to its clever pop culture references like Star Wars, The Matrix, and WWE, Jack and Ben break it all down.

They’ll also discuss whether Shrek was DreamWorks’ cheeky dig at Disney, and the rivalry between Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner.

So, grab the jumbo popcorn and join us for a fun, nostalgic chat about one of the most beloved films of our (Ben's) childhood!
