252 - Shrek (feat. Memoria)

Memoria (@memoriamatters) and the lads grab their tiny vests and make for Duloc as they cover the movie that launched a thousand memes: Shrek. Topics include William Steig’s original book, the politics of Disney in the 90s, and what it means to discover the truth buried deep in the heart of Shrek.
