Speaker 2: a woman director, as this podcast is a safe swamp
Speaker 2: for people who don't know anything about movies today. What
Speaker 2: I'm loving is I'm never going to quite click into it.
Speaker 2: It's always going to be almost something that's perfect.

Speaker 2: more than it's making you laugh.
Speaker 1: Yes, sure can. No, that's okay, I'll drop it. We
Speaker 1: have to remember I woke up, unfortunately in an unfortunate way,
Speaker 1: at a somewhat normal time, but because I wasn't planning to.
Speaker 1: It ruined everything.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to talk about that because I also
Speaker 2: misread the text when you so we'll have to we'll delve,

Speaker 1: to get in there because I'm afraid that if I
Speaker 1: don't do it right now, that my roommate's only and
Speaker 1: that I'll be watching Shrek alone. Are you watching Shrek alone?
Speaker 1: It feels insane to watch Shrek alone right now. But anyway,

Speaker 1: the swamp. No, all my I got home and all
Speaker 1: my roommates were still awake, which never happens. They were
Speaker 1: still awake and they were watching Glee. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm glad you guys are having a
Speaker 1: good time. But I'm about to put Shrek on right now,
Speaker 1: and if people leave, I'm gonna be so upset.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I can't believe they watching Glee.
Speaker 1: That's very its own way.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: It was very It was very interesting. It was like,
Speaker 1: that's not what the vibes usually are in my household.
Speaker 1: It's like people kind of like party time, let's watch Glee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: partners were over and stuff. It was it was interesting.
Speaker 1: Diet forced them to watch Shrek.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I watched it by myself at seven thirty in the morning,
Speaker 2: I texted my flatmate about it. I mean, they were
Speaker 2: leaving for work, but I was like, please don't be alarmed.
Speaker 2: But I'm in the living room watching Shrek.
Speaker 1: Did they Did they see it at all?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 1: Again, I was alone out there. I watched it alone.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for the existential drawa. I was alone.
Speaker 1: I'm all alone. Well, Leonna, speaking of existential Hey girl.
Speaker 2: Hey girl, oh girl, this text you sent so do
Speaker 2: you care to explain?
Speaker 1: Yes? So, today, unfortunately, unfortunately, my boyf accidentally called me
Speaker 1: on the FaceTime at six thirty am. He wakes up
Speaker 1: very early, and I think there was probably just like
Speaker 1: an old notification or something and he like clicked on
Speaker 1: it on accident. So I woke up with a fright
Speaker 1: to my phone buzzing, and I just lay there thinking
Speaker 1: about every anxiety I've ever had in my whole life.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh no, just going down a spiral, just like,
Speaker 1: please fall asleep, please fall asleep, so I don't have
Speaker 1: to think about anything anymore. Please please please please.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so in that way, unfortunately, and much much love
Speaker 1: to him, and it's all good, but he did ruin
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Oh well, I missed the word or the
Speaker 2: phrase on accident. So I read your message as Kelsey
Speaker 2: ruined my life, like when he called me at six
Speaker 2: point thirty this morning, and I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what happened? Oh my oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh my god.
Speaker 2: Scary, like almost replied immediately, are you okay? But then
Speaker 2: I really read it and I was like, well, that's
Speaker 2: insane as a response.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you reread it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm so glad that that that it was
Speaker 2: what it was and not what I thought it was.
Speaker 1: No, I was being so dramatic. I get it. Hey girl,
Speaker 1: Leona hate girl?
Speaker 2: Oh hate girl. Yeah, I guess I'm in a space.
Speaker 1: Huh girl.
Speaker 2: Drink this in though, because this is the last you'll
Speaker 2: ever see me in the way that I am and
Speaker 2: have been for my time on this earth. Because tomorrow
Speaker 2: night I am seeing Beyonce.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so exciting.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited you've never seen. I bought a cowboy
Speaker 2: hat from Etsy. It's my first time seeing her live.
Speaker 2: I got a disco cowboy hat from Etsy. That's oh
Speaker 2: my bag and so heavy. It arrived slightly damaged. My
Speaker 2: flatmate bought me super glue today because I have to
Speaker 2: do repairs on it overnight. I will be a different woman.
Speaker 2: I will be a changed woman, no promises after tomorrow night. Wow,
Speaker 2: I'm so excited that I actually you can't hear it
Speaker 2: in my voice, you know that kind of excitement. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like I'm not smiling about it. Yes, because I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm so serious. I'm grave I feel gravely excited.
Speaker 1: It's wrapped around in a way where if you tried
Speaker 1: to communicate it with our human language, it would do
Speaker 1: a disservice to it. Thank you for understanding. I do understand.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: I do understand.
Speaker 2: So listeners mark this, mark this as the final episode
Speaker 2: pre Beyonce. This is who E, B and AB will
Speaker 2: be tossed popcorn before Beyonce and after Beyonce. Wow, I'm
Speaker 2: going with my flatmate Eliza.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that is so exciting.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. I'm yep, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: It's only so often that you get to see like
Speaker 1: a really premium concert generally, you know, like a real
Speaker 1: like we're putting on the show Litzen type of concert,
Speaker 1: and then for it to be I think your favorite artist.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's remember that time that that personal trainer was like,
Speaker 2: is Beyonce your favorite artist? Because I kept saying sligh,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: So, yes, how did you know? Oh yeah, one, hay girl,
Speaker 1: I forgot to say. That feels like exactly the opposite
Speaker 1: of this is though, I went to a community sewing
Speaker 1: class last night to learn how to use a sewing machine,
Speaker 1: and because today I think I have shin splints from it,
Speaker 1: Like my shin hurts and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I think it's from taking could be sewing class.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sore, sore, It's gonna be sore.
Speaker 1: But that's still bad. But that's still crazy. Also, I
Speaker 1: used that I use this foot to drive, Like, why
Speaker 1: is this so much different?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: That's interesting. We used to drive.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, you don't drive anymore, and you have remember
Speaker 1: at the sewing class. Oh, I don't know what foot
Speaker 1: it is. Oh what's I forgot? You can't drive anywhere? No,
Speaker 1: I didn't go to the sewing class.
Speaker 2: It was kind of I tell you, Oh what did
Speaker 2: I tell you about the knitting class that I took
Speaker 2: as a child.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh man, what happened? Do you know?
Speaker 2: Anything about knitting a tiny bit. So this is beginner's
Speaker 2: stuff where if you're knitting up, it's called knit knit,
Speaker 2: the stitch is a knit. If you're knitting down, it's
Speaker 2: called a pearl p U R l H. And you
Speaker 2: can do various patterns. And the week that we were
Speaker 2: learning pearling, I went up and I showed my homework
Speaker 2: to the teacher and she looks at it and she goes,
Speaker 2: what were you watching TV while you made this?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? But the answer was.
Speaker 2: Yes, could never stitch in the whatever the commercials watch.
Speaker 2: I stitched in a Kellogg's serial commercial. This is Pelugg's
Speaker 2: special k with red berries. This scarf is brought to.
Speaker 1: You by That is so crazy, she read me. She
Speaker 1: got my ass this woman last night, and then we
Speaker 1: can move on. But I think that she's a good
Speaker 1: patron saint of our existence. She was like just an
Speaker 1: old librarian who teaches this when she feels like it.
Speaker 1: And she kept saying, this is the first class. This
Speaker 1: is the rock bottom class. Say you could ask whatever
Speaker 1: you want. We're just trying to leave learning the machine,
Speaker 1: all right, Like this is the rock bottom class. If
Speaker 1: anybody was like, am I sewing this right? She'd like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it's the rock bottom class. My god,
Speaker 1: I love her. I loved her. I loved her.
Speaker 2: Wow, let's get her on the pot. That's kint a
Speaker 2: third host.
Speaker 1: She was just like she did not get you know.
Speaker 1: She'd be like yeah, oh, and she kept saying, you
Speaker 1: don't want your stuff to look you want to look handmade,
Speaker 1: not homemade, so make sure those corners are. But this
Speaker 1: is your first one, so it doesn't really matter. Wow,
Speaker 1: it was so awesome. I love that.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna get a sewing machine?
Speaker 1: There are like so many sewing machines floating around my life.
Speaker 1: The reason I wanted to take it is because I
Speaker 1: don't know how to use them when I'm confronted with one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, some of my friends were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could teach you how to sew. I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I went to this class because it is so complicated,
Speaker 1: like actually putting the strings on. Because she was a badass,
Speaker 1: she kept being like, yeah, they've been doing this for
Speaker 1: like hundreds of years and there's just never been They've
Speaker 1: never made a better system than this.
Speaker 2: God, it's like the speculum, Yes, exactly. In the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: They did the Industrial Revolution and they were like, well
Speaker 2: for women's stuff, we're done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the best.
Speaker 2: That's fine, call it wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, Okay, I.
Speaker 2: Love that siena local seamstress.
Speaker 1: At the end of the At the end of this,
Speaker 1: I'll show you the bag I made. You made a
Speaker 1: whole bag. That's amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How long was this class? Two hours? Wow. It's really
Speaker 1: easy to sew a bag together because you just sew
Speaker 1: three sides of something and it looks really bad. All right,
Speaker 1: speaking of things looking.
Speaker 5: Bad, yeah, true, yes, and having a lot of heart,
Speaker 5: could you please give us the synopsis of the FELM Shrek?
Speaker 1: Yes, I can. Yeah, this movie while watching it felt
Speaker 1: crystal clear, but when trying to write it down was hard. Okay, Shrek.
Speaker 1: Shrek is an ogre. Shrek is an ogre. Lord far Quad.
Speaker 1: Lord Farquad is evil ruler and he sends all the
Speaker 1: fairy tale creatures to Shrek's swamp. Yeah, an act done
Speaker 1: out of bigotry for the creatures. Yes, and due to
Speaker 1: a lack of acknowledgment of Shrek's land, So Shrek is like,
Speaker 1: what gives this is my land? Shrek meets Donkey also
Speaker 1: Donkey becomes his his funky sidekick. They go on a
Speaker 1: miniquest make a deal with Lord far Quad to go
Speaker 1: on another quest to go rescue Princess Fiona, who Lord
Speaker 1: far Quad needs to marry to be come king, to
Speaker 1: stay king, because come care. Fiona turns out has a
Speaker 1: spell cast on her that turns her specifically into an
Speaker 1: ogre convenient at night, so that adds a little bit
Speaker 1: of spice for her and her eating, yes, her evening.
Speaker 1: Fiona and Shrek hit it off and things go a
Speaker 1: little differently at the at the end of the thing.
Speaker 1: It's a movie that shaped a generation. It did.
Speaker 2: It really did the end two generation, maybe even three.
Speaker 2: I don't know what jen Alfa is watching. I'm scared
Speaker 2: about them.
Speaker 1: Anybody like our parents' age listening to this since you know,
Speaker 1: we know our parents listen to this, just so you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this movie is so significant to the brains of our
Speaker 1: entire generation. It's like hard to it's hard to convey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is.
Speaker 2: I take this gym class on Saturdays where we use
Speaker 2: a machine called the ski erg and there's little handles
Speaker 2: up at the top of it, and the way the
Speaker 2: instructor describes it is, he says, so you grab the
Speaker 2: Shrek ears and you pull down. And that is because
Speaker 2: this is a twenty one year old man and watching
Speaker 2: the movie today, I said, oh my god, those handles
Speaker 2: look exactly like the Shrek.
Speaker 1: They are really specific. Yeah, like it's and universal. I
Speaker 1: can see all of these I can see all these
Speaker 1: images so clearly. There are words said that I remember
Speaker 1: so so clearly in my mind.
Speaker 2: You remember full quotes from this film.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the zone of how it said. Yeah, huh
Speaker 1: oh man, Well should we get into it. Let's let's
Speaker 1: do Shrek changed the world once upon a time. We
Speaker 1: embarked on our phone.
Speaker 2: Notes, the section of the podcast where we look at
Speaker 2: the notes that the other person took on their phone
Speaker 2: while watching the film.
Speaker 1: Leanna, your first note is being a peasant would be
Speaker 1: so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: You just mean generally, Yeah, like a medieval peasant. Everyone
Speaker 2: had the same haircut, and everyone's hair was so dry.
Speaker 2: You gotta wear that little cap, that little fabric cap.
Speaker 1: I watched watched a video one time, because of course,
Speaker 1: my YouTube sometimes often feeds me like, do you want
Speaker 1: to watch some old, some some edutainment clip that's not
Speaker 1: really that educational, but it's a little bit so you
Speaker 1: feel good about yourself and I'm like yes. And there
Speaker 1: was one about why so many people drowned Oh my
Speaker 1: back in I don't know what era, just like peasant times, yeah,
Speaker 1: hundred and it was because they'd go to wash stuff
Speaker 1: in the river and the river was so cold and
Speaker 1: their clothing was so heavy. It would just like suck
Speaker 1: no because you had to like the only clothed they
Speaker 1: had at the time were so heavy. Yeah, they just
Speaker 1: fill up with water because they had to go. They
Speaker 1: hadn't figured out a better system. They have to wash
Speaker 1: their stuff at the water and they'd be like whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: It was such a problem. Whoa, whoa. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: by clothes.
Speaker 2: I none of it. It all seemed terrible, like there
Speaker 2: was just not especially like at the Dark Ages. There
Speaker 2: was no there was no levity, there was no music,
Speaker 2: there was no art. Thank god for the Renaissance. Yeah,
Speaker 2: both middle aged and beyonces both both. Yeah, but man,
Speaker 2: oh man, to be a peasant in the Middle Ages,
Speaker 2: I would be embarrassed. Ah bad, break, oh break, We'll
Speaker 2: be right back.
Speaker 1: I can't predict what things were like when we were
Speaker 1: growing up. Everything was so weird. That's true. It was
Speaker 1: the era of slime. Things were already getting weirdnpened one
Speaker 1: was confused. They invented dream culture to sell more stuff,
Speaker 1: but also we were having we were Everything was militarized
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, and like, I don't know why
Speaker 1: goo was such a thing. I don't know why those
Speaker 1: in charge were.
Speaker 2: Making the break through on goo, like it was suddenly
Speaker 2: non toxic in a way it never had been before.
Speaker 1: We don't know. We have accessibility to goo in ways
Speaker 1: we have because like in the eighties, you can watch
Speaker 1: anything from the eighties and go okay, people were on cocaine.
Speaker 1: But from the two thousands, I don't know what was
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: They were on goo.
Speaker 1: They were on goo. People were you know what.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was that everybody was so hungry because it
Speaker 2: was the be as skinny as you possibly can that
Speaker 2: everybody got a little bit like lightheaded and hallucinatory.
Speaker 1: So whatever it was that they were saying was for
Speaker 1: us kids. I can't like the fact that they would
Speaker 1: put like an Eddie Murphy donkey in this is completely understandable.
Speaker 2: Thank god they did, Sienna, Yes you noted donkey is funny, Okay, Leanna,
Speaker 2: you don't care, don't care?
Speaker 1: He really, I will say, this movie is very funny.
Speaker 1: I was cracking up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was cracking up. Eddie Murphy as Donkey
Speaker 2: I really believe deserves an Academy Award.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of this was improv for him. Oh,
Speaker 1: because I don't.
Speaker 2: I truly don't know good in this?
Speaker 1: He is amazing, is he?
Speaker 2: Where are we at with Eddie Murphy? Has he been
Speaker 2: canceled at all? I don't think I've heard anything, So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna speak positively. I'm going to speak very, very
Speaker 2: glowingly about him, and sorry if not.
Speaker 1: A comedian from the time feels very unlikely that Risky.
Speaker 2: Feels that a comedian from the early odds that.
Speaker 1: All of his comedy would give respect to go yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe mainly pretty pretty appreciated.
Speaker 2: All right, Oh yeah, go on, Eddie Murphy. I love
Speaker 2: him so much in this. I love him in Dream Girls.
Speaker 2: That man is so talented. That man can do dramatic acting,
Speaker 2: he can sing, he can dance, and he can voice
Speaker 2: a donkey like no one else in history. I truly
Speaker 2: believe no one ever, who has ever lived or ever
Speaker 2: will live, can do justice to Donkey in the way
Speaker 2: that Eddie Murphy did.
Speaker 1: He's one of the funniest people who's ever been born.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donkey was everything too.
Speaker 1: There was a part where he heard some imply that
Speaker 1: they're walking along and Shrek farted, because that's what this
Speaker 1: whole movie is. It's like, he's gross, he farts, he goes.
Speaker 1: You can't just crack one off like that. My mouth
Speaker 1: was open and everything, and I laughed for so much
Speaker 1: longer than I expected.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be where we diverge because the parts
Speaker 2: that were crude, Yeah, I did not like.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of the crude grow stuff that I
Speaker 1: did not like either a lot. Okay, I don't like
Speaker 1: Shrek's grossness. I was eating sushi as I sat down
Speaker 1: to it, and I went, I gotta eat this fast
Speaker 1: because I'm about to be I had a much more
Speaker 1: of a stomach for this as a kid when it
Speaker 1: didn't mean totally to me totally, and now there were
Speaker 1: many parts where I had to look away. But that's
Speaker 1: why I was so surprised that delivery from Donkey was
Speaker 1: so funny that I did laugh a lot. The quote.
Speaker 2: I think my entire family knows this quote and quoted
Speaker 2: it often to one another when he says and in
Speaker 2: the morning, I'm making waffles.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know how he does it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I genuinely this is something I wrote
Speaker 1: done too. I can't imagine a world before Donkey, before
Speaker 1: we were given the gift B D and A d.
Speaker 3: H.
Speaker 1: I don't know what was it like to be an
Speaker 1: adult seeing this movie. They probably felt insane.
Speaker 6: Imagine, yeah, they probably felt insane, but for them nine
Speaker 6: to eleven had just happened, so like the world.
Speaker 1: Had just changed.
Speaker 2: Well, and it was very interesting watching it as adults
Speaker 2: now because Sienna, you noted, it's actually really fucked up
Speaker 2: what they're doing to these creatures.
Speaker 1: It was insane. It was meant full atrocities.
Speaker 2: It was meant was like an apartheid Is that a
Speaker 2: word for it?
Speaker 1: Oh god, there was an apartheid state situation happening. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but that is what was going on. It was crazy. Also,
Speaker 1: the jokes in this very adult. Yes, they must have
Speaker 1: done the balance.
Speaker 2: Of like, actually want to understand this and I didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: compensating for something as a penis joke.
Speaker 1: Oh ass?
Speaker 2: When when the dolls hint that they're about to sing
Speaker 2: the word ass yeah face yeah, ah all alone?
Speaker 1: Yes, Leanna, you've said I'm all alone song very me, oh,
Speaker 1: very me, very me? Which character did you resonate with?
Speaker 2: And donkey don't care, don't care. He's like, please can
Speaker 2: I stay with you?
Speaker 1: Please? Will somebody please just love me?
Speaker 2: Does anybody want to maybe spend time with me in
Speaker 2: a significant way?
Speaker 1: Anyone? Anyone at all? Hello? Hello, Hello, hello, all alone?
Speaker 2: Ah, all alone? Who did you connect with? I hope
Speaker 2: it was the three little pigs who were German? I
Speaker 2: hope it was those German pigs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was probably one of the one of those
Speaker 1: side characters. Did you see that they killed the Mama
Speaker 1: Bear girl?
Speaker 2: That is in my trages, That is where I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: That was too much, that whoa too much. They killed
Speaker 2: her and they turned her into a rug and at
Speaker 2: the end it's just Papa Bear and baby Bear at
Speaker 2: the celebration, and I was like, I'm sorry, that's actually
Speaker 2: too far. That's way too far culture as they're torturing
Speaker 2: the gingerbread man.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also, children don't have a hold on violence and death
Speaker 2: and psychological warfare in the way that we do as adults,
Speaker 2: because yeah, this movie hit me in a very different
Speaker 2: way this time around, where I was like, no, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I actually can't see atrocities happening. Yeah, this is supposed
Speaker 2: to just be like a funny animated stopped doing atrocities.
Speaker 1: They just don't. Oh yeah it Ah. It was insane.
Speaker 1: Culture was lawless at this time. People were showing their
Speaker 1: ass cracks. It was odd. There was goo everywhere. Every music.
Speaker 1: All the music was like all about being an idiot,
Speaker 1: and like was Scar It's all.
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to be an American idiot. Everybody's
Speaker 2: so mad one nation under the new media.
Speaker 1: It sounded like the Beach but everybody was angry.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the beach but everyone was angry.
Speaker 1: That's so it. Oh my dad, thank you.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, man.
Speaker 2: I guess when you become aware of the inherent violence
Speaker 2: of the capitalist state, eat Shrek is harder to watch.
Speaker 1: Leanna. You have said, to do all of this without
Speaker 1: a backpack unfathomable, Leanna, that is a fantastic point. I
Speaker 1: don't have anything. He sets out with nothing.
Speaker 2: He's wearing his dirty quest this leather vest, his gay
Speaker 2: little leather vest happy bright men.
Speaker 1: Donkeys donkey.
Speaker 2: Donkey's a donkey. That's fine, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: He can eat.
Speaker 2: Tress is like an anthropomorphic ogre who needs supplies. You
Speaker 2: are supposed to famously take supplies with you on a quest.
Speaker 2: Famously it's dangerous to go alone. Take this trek took nothing.
Speaker 2: Imagine just being out there. Where do you put your hands?
Speaker 2: You don't have any pockets.
Speaker 1: Where did Shrek put his hands? Yeah, Shrek was actually
Speaker 1: very gross to me watching this this okay, like he's
Speaker 1: also like he was gross to me in the way
Speaker 1: that like I am gross to me, like he feels
Speaker 1: like an adult person, because I was just very aware,
Speaker 1: like like you like with that, like the fact that
Speaker 1: he's walking around in the same clothes for days and
Speaker 1: days ah or visceral to me, I'm like I would
Speaker 1: feel gross. I feel very I.
Speaker 2: Did not even perceive that. I was like in that
Speaker 2: cartoon way where he's always in the same Outhum, yeah,
Speaker 2: for some reason, it's fine. For some reason, there are
Speaker 2: others who would change outfits, so yeah, fair.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there was a rhyme or
Speaker 1: reason to it. I just was everything was visceral in
Speaker 1: a way. This time where I was like.
Speaker 2: Oh, man, yeah, I mean he showers in mud. That's
Speaker 2: the beginning of the film.
Speaker 1: Siena.
Speaker 2: You noted she has internalized ogrephobia.
Speaker 1: It's just always even as a kid, it was so
Speaker 1: interesting to be that And it makes sense because she
Speaker 1: was hold in this spell like you're gonna be a
Speaker 1: hideous monster, and so she was told by society and
Speaker 1: also society literally wants to kill ogres. Like anytime, by
Speaker 1: the way, Shrek walks into a place, they go kill
Speaker 1: him or oh he's here kill Remember when remember when
Speaker 1: Lord Farkwood was like, you're already doing a disservice by
Speaker 1: being alive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was crazy, Like but again said that line,
Speaker 2: that was crazy.
Speaker 1: This movie is honest about the fact that they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like townspeople want to kill ogres. Yeah, they hate them.
Speaker 1: These guys fucking hate this guy. Yeah. But so I
Speaker 1: understand why she feels that way. But it was just
Speaker 1: interesting to me that she It's it runs so deep
Speaker 1: that not even a part of her went, oh, I
Speaker 1: feel lucky to be around Shrek right now, who would
Speaker 1: understand me? Ah? She instead feels like, Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: align with this person. At all, which I think you
Speaker 1: have a lot of people with whatever sort feel and
Speaker 1: when you have your own internal shame, you're like, no,
Speaker 1: not that at all. That's not me, not alike.
Speaker 2: I hate that in this way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that. Yeah, it was. It was interesting
Speaker 1: to see you never you don't have empathy for him
Speaker 1: because you hate yourself. Whoa wow, Fiona, Wow, Okay, Leanna.
Speaker 1: Obviously we talked about this before. You've said if I
Speaker 1: was trapped in a tower with a dragon, I would
Speaker 1: try to befriend it. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: And now we found out her.
Speaker 1: We found out that this is like an absolutely cunty girl,
Speaker 1: Lena of Aye of a dragon.
Speaker 2: That dragon is a girl's girl.
Speaker 1: You can tell. You can tell for when she you know,
Speaker 1: she's got huge eyelashes. She blows down the whole church
Speaker 1: at the end, that's true, and punts Lord Farquaad I loved.
Speaker 2: She eats his entire ass and then punches out the glass,
Speaker 2: the stained glass with his image on it.
Speaker 1: She's a girls girl, sligh, That is a girl's girl.
Speaker 2: That is nobody slays harder than that dragon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would try to her. Does she have a name?
Speaker 1: It's just isn't it. It's just Dragon girl Dragon.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: You asked who I connected with in this movie, and
Speaker 1: it was the Dragon. It was the draug God. We're
Speaker 1: Donkey and the Dragon.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 1: This is the reason we connect so much. Is our
Speaker 1: secret soulmate, our brand of soulmate is Donkey and Donkey
Speaker 1: in the Dragon.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what is it about the dreag Is
Speaker 2: it that she's really mean to boys?
Speaker 1: She's so mean to men. She's so mean to men.
Speaker 1: But then the people she loves, she loves like so much.
Speaker 1: It's almost like, yeah, which I really I really connect with?
Speaker 1: Oh she chooses wisely, Yeah, but then she's obsessed with them.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with people I love. What can I say? Gosh,
Speaker 1: that's true. And she's a big Girlina and she at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, is it a big woman.
Speaker 1: She's a long woman. The power of a long woman,
Speaker 1: big and long, big and long. Leon you said, not
Speaker 1: emotionally ready for a commitment of this magnitude triggered, Oh my.
Speaker 2: God, who was Donkey said that to the Donkey said
Speaker 2: that to the Dragon when they first meet, and she's
Speaker 2: very enamored by him and they're sitting in her like
Speaker 2: smag Den of Gold and Donkey says that, and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I'm reading my own dms
Speaker 2: on Instagram.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of baggage. WHOA, I didn't know he
Speaker 1: was in this movie.
Speaker 2: I didn't complete I did not remember Donkey, not just
Speaker 2: from the jump being head over heels for the dragon.
Speaker 1: He was really like, don't touch me. She was like
Speaker 1: not letting up, and it was like respect his boundaries, mama.
Speaker 2: It was decades before they understood the word consent.
Speaker 1: It was really amazing. Is not consensual? Yeah that's really true.
Speaker 1: That's really true? Did you? And then she kissed shreks
Speaker 1: As was crazy? I hated that.
Speaker 2: I didn't like that at all.
Speaker 1: Was his ass bear?
Speaker 2: Imagine you go in for a kiss with your crush
Speaker 2: and then it turns out you're eating someone else's ass.
Speaker 1: That was I will say, like, I get why she
Speaker 1: was so pissed and tried to kill them after that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh absolutely she woulde be kissing Ogre's ass?
Speaker 1: What the fuck.
Speaker 3: That was?
Speaker 1: You all have to die. This has to be. This
Speaker 1: also has to be the dirtiest ass in on this
Speaker 1: side of the land. I'm sorry. That's like he takes
Speaker 1: pride in how dirty his asses it has literal swamp ass.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's the blueprint for swamp ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Leoni, you said, ah a big stupid, ugly Oh girl,
Speaker 1: men about me when I asked them on a date, Leanna, Leanna, Ah,

Speaker 1: thank you, Dragon, I will kill them. I will, girl Dragon,
Speaker 1: punt them. I will burn them. I will eat them.

Speaker 1: like beautiful and like she's graceful in her way and
Speaker 1: she destroys everything. Yeah, I love her.
Speaker 2: She's really powerful.
Speaker 1: Okay, Leanna, your final notes. I gotta get over there.
Speaker 1: I gotta get over to London because girl, you said,
Speaker 1: I'm ugly, okay me of late me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, girl, I yeah, I'm in a space. I know
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily the truth of reality necessarily per se perhaps,
Speaker 2: but I'm in a space.
Speaker 1: I'm in a swamp. So sorry you're in that swamp because,
Speaker 1: first of all, completely completely unrealistic, you're absolutely serving of late,
Speaker 1: by the way, thank you, thank you truly. Okay, but
Speaker 1: also I understand the brain, so I'm sorry that your
Speaker 1: brain is doing that. The mind got out, the swamp
Speaker 1: got out, miss swamp. Miss swamp thought the fairy too.
Speaker 1: And then you said, need to get Shrek a hat
Speaker 1: to protect him from sun damage.
Speaker 2: He was getting liver spots on the top of his
Speaker 2: head because he left without a backpack.
Speaker 1: He left with nothing, nothing at all.
Speaker 2: At least take a hat.
Speaker 1: Was three eggs.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're right, probably had like a billion
Speaker 2: slugs along the way.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that. Sorry, I'm reading your final I'm
Speaker 1: reading your final notes. Your final notes are sorry. It's
Speaker 1: so fucking sad that Mama Bear is dead. That was
Speaker 1: genuinely insane. That was too far. It was way too far.
Speaker 1: And then your final note is and they lived ugly
Speaker 1: ever after me. Okay, at this point, I was just
Speaker 1: kind of committing to a bit. Then I saw her face.
Speaker 1: Now I'm a podcaster and gotta take a break. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: It's an ad woo, yeah, it's an AD break, taking
Speaker 2: an AD break.
Speaker 1: Just go now for now. I believe, believe believe.
Speaker 2: Oh, Cianna, your final note is girls supporting girls? Is
Speaker 2: this girl dragon? Yeah, punching out his lid.
Speaker 1: It's like it ends with donkey. Donkey facilitates it, which
Speaker 1: we love. Yeah, but it doesn't end with a lie
Speaker 1: with uh. The one who saves the day is the girls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true. I did really like, I mean,
Speaker 2: should we just get into badges and trages? No, now
Speaker 2: I will give a badge. I didn't write this down,
Speaker 2: but it's just come to me. I really appreciated that,
Speaker 2: given the time that it came out during the female
Speaker 2: characters are actually remarkably well rounded, not objectified by the protagonists. Yeah,
Speaker 2: in a surprising way.
Speaker 1: That's a really good point, Like they're just treated as equals. It,
Speaker 1: and then when they liked each other, they just like
Speaker 1: liked each other. They just connected and yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot in common. It was done very well.
Speaker 1: And even when she was talking about like being ugly
Speaker 1: and whatever, it was clearly so like this is supposed
Speaker 1: to be ugly, right, Like like we'd already been given
Speaker 1: the background for why we were, like why she was
Speaker 1: supposed to be stressed about it. Yeah, and then you know,
Speaker 1: it ends with her obviously becoming her ogre version, and
Speaker 1: he's like, hmm, what eh, this is? This is great.
Speaker 2: Oh, welcome everybody to badges and trages, a segment where
Speaker 2: we give badges.

Speaker 1: a kid. Some set out were the opening, the opening
Speaker 1: credits of everybody's name being like a gross splatter or something,
Speaker 1: as we're like seeing his life.
Speaker 2: I did not like that.
Speaker 1: Once again for me as an adult, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh ew, But in my mind I remember it being
Speaker 1: like whoa awesome yeah yeah. And then also I love

Speaker 1: out with another one?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But it's animation is weird now and made for

Speaker 1: an overstimulating movie, even though there's lots of images jokes.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one thing I could have seen because I
Speaker 1: remember all these banger songs and I remember all these
Speaker 1: just stimulating images as a kid. But it was really
Speaker 1: it was kind of it was, I don't know, it
Speaker 1: was pleasant, Yeah, a badge for.
Speaker 2: Honestly, they animated this bridge scene compellingly, the bridge over
Speaker 2: the lava too. I was like, they didn't have to
Speaker 2: do such a good job with that, and they really did.
Speaker 2: And I was getting like whoa. I was feeling like
Speaker 2: a peasant washing their clothes at the river. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 2: whoa our apologies to all peasants who died by drowning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I agreed with that. I also was struck
Speaker 1: by that scene when he's swinging it and the camera. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually, like directing, I rarely am aware of it, but
Speaker 2: I did notice it there and.
Speaker 1: All the camera angles in this. I was really it
Speaker 1: was really good. They didn't have to eat, they didn't
Speaker 1: have to eat this much, they didn't have to rock
Speaker 1: this so hard. Badge for this is so specific and
Speaker 1: of its time that it's kind of a standalone genre,
Speaker 1: which is really amazing. It's like, yeah, liminal space, fairy tale, scarf,
Speaker 1: all these words feel like it's true to me, you know.

Speaker 1: by just how how good the writing was. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: I have a badge for Fiona articulating what she needs
Speaker 2: when she's like, I need to be in a cave,
Speaker 2: going to bed right now. It is so hard for
Speaker 2: women to say what they need and stand firmly in it.
Speaker 2: She didn't say no worries if not. She was like, no,
Speaker 2: this has to happen, and it's gonna happen right now
Speaker 2: because I need this to happen.
Speaker 1: And they went with it. Oh my god, they said, okay.
Speaker 2: Obviously a badge for a nod to river Dance when
Speaker 2: Robin Hood, who's French for no reason, that comes out
Speaker 2: and does a little little performance with his merry men
Speaker 2: and they do a line that's similar to river Dance.
Speaker 1: Everything that happened to this movie. I went, I'm so

Speaker 1: Oh my god.

Speaker 1: floating at the very beginning, I was laughing. He is
Speaker 1: so cute. I love him.
Speaker 2: He's It was again like they animated the main animal
Speaker 2: like they are a dog. So they had very dog
Speaker 2: tendencies and behaviors, and it was adorable. My final badge

Speaker 1: do you have any trages? I do I have some. Yes.
Speaker 2: My first trage is for grossness. Yes, that is my
Speaker 2: main trage.
Speaker 1: My trage is gross when he first shrieks at the
Speaker 1: townspeople and and yeah, and spit and goo comes out
Speaker 1: of his mouth. I remember that as a kid and
Speaker 1: finding it scary. But even my kid's self is much
Speaker 1: stronger than me in that way, because I couldn't look
Speaker 1: I couldn't look at it.
Speaker 2: Gross.
Speaker 1: A trag for she kissed his ass. That was crazy.
Speaker 1: I did not like that.
Speaker 2: A trage for oh my god, they made a rug
Speaker 2: out of Mama bear.
Speaker 1: That was crazy.
Speaker 2: A trage for I never liked the part where the
Speaker 2: bird explodes and Fiona takes its eggs. I think I
Speaker 2: didn't like that growing up either. I think it made
Speaker 2: me sad, but never liked that.
Speaker 1: This time I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2: And then my final trag is a trage for yeah,
Speaker 2: fat phobia, because yes, she's got internalized ogre phobia. But
Speaker 2: also it's that era of like she's so perfect, skinny
Speaker 2: white woman, yes, long, skinny, lean white woman, and then
Speaker 2: when she becomes an ogre, she becomes like she becomes
Speaker 2: she becomes just a real body type, body like real,
Speaker 2: like real woman.
Speaker 1: It's just like that body type actually exists. So it's
Speaker 1: not like they makes her some secret over body type.
Speaker 1: It's a human.
Speaker 2: No, it's like a plus sized woman. And so the
Speaker 2: messaging that like oh oh this is like other and
Speaker 2: different and bad, there's a lot of uh implicit isms
Speaker 2: going yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean also we already know what it's like at
Speaker 1: the time. I mean we just watched real Women have curves,
Speaker 1: which came up after this, and we were like, oh quaint, yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely trage worthy that this messaging was completely received and
Speaker 1: accepted just in movies generally. Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and at the end and she accepts herself. She's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this my true self. But yeah, that bit in the
Speaker 2: middle where Donkey's like, yeah you are ugly, the bit
Speaker 2: where it's like okay again, they don't even got to
Speaker 2: give a trage.
Speaker 1: They don't make her. She's not like they forget. Did
Speaker 1: you see the substance?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. But I read the Wikipedia. She's not like
Speaker 1: a big monstro freak like the like. She's not like
Speaker 1: an ugly freak. She just like reads a girl like one.
Speaker 1: They wanted to make her because they because they made
Speaker 1: her cute. She's a cute character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeaheah, it does it is like, what the huh? Yeah,
Speaker 2: those are all my trages.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic, fantastic, and I guess the waterboarding the character, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a trage for atrocities. The atrocities were actually very All
Speaker 1: of us sitting around watching were.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, once you've had an education that teaches you
Speaker 2: about atrocities throughout human history, It's like, man, this isn't
Speaker 2: really funny as a concept.
Speaker 1: Yep, agreed, you know Leona Shell. We move on to
Speaker 1: our next segment, which is, of course, how to pretend
Speaker 1: you've seen this film? This is for you. Are just
Speaker 1: hanging out at your swamp, chilling.
Speaker 2: Out with yes, and Lord far Quad comes up to
Speaker 2: you with his hairy chest and back.
Speaker 1: And uh decrees.
Speaker 2: He his trumpetears trumpet him in and he goes.
Speaker 1: I get to tell everybody I want, every girl I want,
Speaker 1: and anybody who's around about my favorite movies. And I
Speaker 1: just watched a movie called Shrek. I love the way
Speaker 1: that it says that people are ugly. Some people are
Speaker 1: ugly and they should be killed.
Speaker 2: And in order to swamp Lord farquaad with information so
Speaker 2: he can no longer rule over any conversation. We're gonna
Speaker 2: give you a few sentences you can say to pretend
Speaker 2: you've seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes, Lord Farquad, I have seen the
Speaker 1: film Shrek. Eddie Murphy's baff denomination for his voiceover performance
Speaker 1: was the first of its kind. Yes, I don't even
Speaker 1: know what that means, but that, oh, I.
Speaker 2: Understand British Acting Film, British Academy, British Film and Television Awards.
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy also says that Shrek the Shrek series is
Speaker 1: among his best works. He's absolutely right. I'm so glad
Speaker 1: that he enjoyed it too, and I have fun and
Speaker 1: as proud of it because it really like he really
Speaker 1: set in motion again our culture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Lord far quad, I've seen Shrek. I am
Speaker 2: going to shut you up forever, after which I will
Speaker 2: celebrate for the whole evening and in the morning, I'm
Speaker 2: making waffles. Yes, Lord Farquaad, I have seen the film.
Speaker 2: I have seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1: As we discussed last time on Prince of Egypt, people
Speaker 1: were taken off of Prince of Egypt and put on
Speaker 1: this film called Shrek Call, and it was called Getting
Speaker 1: shrekd And the reason for that because I was curious,
Speaker 1: like did they not believe in it? Or is because
Speaker 1: the animation process the production was apparently so grueling, which
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense because it's really like.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, was this an early days like three D animation?
Speaker 2: I think deathly, not that it came out in three D,
Speaker 2: but you know how Prince of Egypt was flat And
Speaker 2: I mean whatever those words are, sure, I guess, so.
Speaker 1: Is that what I mean? I think?
Speaker 2: So whatever you know is what I believe that when
Speaker 2: it comes to anything production wise, I don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's read a couple of let's read a couple
Speaker 1: of uh facts about Donkey. In an interview, once, Eddie
Speaker 1: Murphy joked that the movie Shrek and his character Donkey
Speaker 1: became so popular that if he had died the year
Speaker 1: the movie was released, newspapers would probably have used a
Speaker 1: picture of donkeys. He's dead. Donkey is dead. Donkey is dead.
Speaker 1: Okay so. William Steig, the writer of Shrek, also wrote
Speaker 1: a children's book called Sylvester and the Magic, in which
Speaker 1: a donkey has a magic pebble, scared h has a
Speaker 1: magic pebble, and scared of a lion, wishes himself to
Speaker 1: be a boulder for protection.
Speaker 2: Oh, Shrek, he says, that is a nice boulder.
Speaker 1: This is referenced in Shrek in Donkey's famous quote, I
Speaker 1: like that boulder. That is a nice, nice boulder. That's cute.
Speaker 1: I love Donkey.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, let me do one.
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, I was trying to do all the Donkey
Speaker 1: ones in a row.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, okay, than I thought, Oh my god, okay, yes,
Speaker 2: Lord Farquad, I've seen Shrek, And if you don't stop
Speaker 2: talking to me, I'm gonna get you kicked out of
Speaker 2: your overcompensating brutalist castle. And you're gonna speak like those
Speaker 2: those German little pigs. You're gonna say.
Speaker 1: He yeah, he hoffed, and he puffed and he sent
Speaker 1: on to fiction. Notice that's just good germ and so funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: what far, aquad I've seen the film Shrek. The scene
Speaker 1: where Princess Fiona burps was written after a recording session
Speaker 1: where Cameron Diaz burped after drinking Coca cola. Eddie Murphy
Speaker 1: improvised Donkey's response to Shrek, She's as nasty as you are. Oh,
Speaker 1: I want to know how much he improvised, because I
Speaker 1: know he probably just like got in there and said
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that's like paras Like. There's no
Speaker 1: way they wrote that thing about par fays.
Speaker 2: Like Robin Williams is the genie. They have so many
Speaker 2: hours of recording that they didn't end up using because.
Speaker 1: He just gave so much.
Speaker 2: We're so lucky to have a dream.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay. Steven Spielberg was originally going to
Speaker 1: produce the film and Nanti ninety one is he always
Speaker 1: tied to these movies. Then the film would have been
Speaker 1: in hand drawn anim and was going to start Bill
Speaker 1: Murray as Shrek and Steve Martin as Donkey kill me.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, And it ends with Shrek carrying the
Speaker 2: ten commandments like seeing them drawings, Thou shalt not kill
Speaker 2: I see, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, covet

Speaker 1: Kay.
Speaker 2: I am about to address Lord farquadt about how I've
Speaker 2: seen the film Shrek. But Donkey boots him into the
Speaker 2: next realm with a strong hind kick, and I say,
Speaker 2: that'll do Donky.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: It's a movie about an ogre and a donkey, and
Speaker 2: the donkey can talk, and the ogre is for some reason,
Speaker 2: Scott it and it was the most important movie to
Speaker 2: come out of the United States of America. Ah in

Speaker 1: We did not see any of those pigs or this
Speaker 1: mice or gee, catch me more, Suah, I must see

Speaker 1: film Shrek?
Speaker 2: Lehanna, I've been I've been waffling over this the whole
Speaker 2: episode because I want to give it a four four
Speaker 2: frog balloons out of five, but the grossness is something
Speaker 2: that would dock it a point, and killing Mama Bear
Speaker 2: is also something that would doc So I think I'm
Speaker 2: going to give it a three. Maybe I'll give it
Speaker 2: a three point five frog balloons out of five out
Speaker 2: of out of deference to the fact that its shaped.
Speaker 1: Degeneration is so important for some anxiety disorder in depression.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh and oh one more? Should you watch this
Speaker 2: or I don't? I think we have less depression than
Speaker 2: we would have because of Shrek.
Speaker 1: Grim one more?
Speaker 2: Should you watch this or is you should also watch
Speaker 2: the TikTok trend from twenty twenty two of a Shrek
Speaker 2: absolutely snatched waist in a leather body suit, giant coming
Speaker 2: over the horizon, bigger than any building, and dancing to
Speaker 2: the song.
Speaker 1: Material worl I wish I had boots. But see, I
Speaker 1: know what would you rate the film? There's so many images?
Speaker 1: Can you pasants? Can't imagine the.
Speaker 2: Number of images that TikTok trend would kill a Middle
Speaker 2: Ages present for sure, before the river got them, they
Speaker 2: would that's what they'd be watching when they're when they're
Speaker 2: heavy clothes filled with water and dragged them, pulled them
Speaker 2: under material.
