Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio. Hi, I'm Sianna Jacob.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And I'm Leana Holsten, and welcome to Tossed Popcorn, the
podcast where two idiots watched every film on the AFI's
one hundred Greatest American Movies of All Time, the Very
slightly Less Racist tenth Anniversary edition, and are now watching
movies that a woman worked on, No movies with with
(00:35):
a woman director, as this podcast is a safe swamp
for people who don't know anything about movies today. What
I'm loving is I'm never going to quite click into it.
It's always going to be almost something that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Today we're watching Shrek.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You're so wrapped up in layers onion boy, your pretty
own feelings. Warning, there will be spoilers about this gooey old,
felim fulham old film.

You sure can, Okay, it's making me laugh a lot
more than it's making you laugh.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yes, sure can. No, that's okay, I'll drop it. We
have to remember I woke up, unfortunately in an unfortunate way,
at a somewhat normal time, but because I wasn't planning to.
It ruined everything.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We're gonna have to talk about that because I also
misread the text when you so we'll have to we'll delve,

to get in there because I'm afraid that if I
don't do it right now, that my roommate's only and
that I'll be watching Shrek alone. Are you watching Shrek alone?
It feels insane to watch Shrek alone right now. But anyway,
(03:07):
we're about to watch Shrek Lord farquad Ogres, et cetera.
I haven't seen it in a really long time. Yeah,
but it's iconic. Okay, I love you, goodbye. Okay. Well, well,
so you watched Trek alone. Yeah? Oh my god, no,
(03:29):
I'm so sorry. Existential, existential, existential, I'm I've mentally entered
the swamp. No, all my I got home and all
my roommates were still awake, which never happens. They were
still awake and they were watching Glee. And I was like,
(03:51):
oh my god, I'm glad you guys are having a
good time. But I'm about to put Shrek on right now,
and if people leave, I'm gonna be so upset.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh my gosh, I can't believe they watching Glee.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's very its own way.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was very It was very interesting. It was like,
that's not what the vibes usually are in my household.
It's like people kind of like party time, let's watch Glee. Yeah,
partners were over and stuff. It was it was interesting.
Diet forced them to watch Shrek.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I watched it by myself at seven thirty in the morning,
I texted my flatmate about it. I mean, they were
leaving for work, but I was like, please don't be alarmed.
But I'm in the living room watching Shrek.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Did they Did they see it at all?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Again, I was alone out there. I watched it alone.
I'm so sorry for the existential drawa. I was alone.
I'm all alone. Well, Leonna, speaking of existential Hey girl.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hey girl, oh girl, this text you sent so do
you care to explain?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes? So, today, unfortunately, unfortunately, my boyf accidentally called me
on the FaceTime at six thirty am. He wakes up
very early, and I think there was probably just like
an old notification or something and he like clicked on
it on accident. So I woke up with a fright
(05:19):
to my phone buzzing, and I just lay there thinking
about every anxiety I've ever had in my whole life.
Oh no, oh no, just going down a spiral, just like,
please fall asleep, please fall asleep, so I don't have
to think about anything anymore. Please please please please.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And so in that way, unfortunately, and much much love
to him, and it's all good, but he did ruin
my life.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, okay, Oh well, I missed the word or the
phrase on accident. So I read your message as Kelsey
ruined my life, like when he called me at six
point thirty this morning, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh my god, what happened? Oh my oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Scary, like almost replied immediately, are you okay? But then
I really read it and I was like, well, that's
insane as a response.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm so glad that you reread it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, and I'm so glad that that that it was
what it was and not what I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, I was being so dramatic. I get it. Hey girl,
Leona hate girl?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh hate girl. Yeah, I guess I'm in a space.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Huh girl.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Drink this in though, because this is the last you'll
ever see me in the way that I am and
have been for my time on this earth. Because tomorrow
night I am seeing Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh that's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm so excited you've never seen. I bought a cowboy
hat from Etsy. It's my first time seeing her live.
I got a disco cowboy hat from Etsy. That's oh
my bag and so heavy. It arrived slightly damaged. My
flatmate bought me super glue today because I have to
do repairs on it overnight. I will be a different woman.
(07:12):
I will be a changed woman, no promises after tomorrow night. Wow,
I'm so excited that I actually you can't hear it
in my voice, you know that kind of excitement. Yeah,
like I'm not smiling about it. Yes, because I'm sorry,
I'm so serious. I'm grave I feel gravely excited.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's wrapped around in a way where if you tried
to communicate it with our human language, it would do
a disservice to it. Thank you for understanding. I do understand.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I do understand.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So listeners mark this, mark this as the final episode
pre Beyonce. This is who E, B and AB will
be tossed popcorn before Beyonce and after Beyonce. Wow, I'm
going with my flatmate Eliza.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Oh my gosh, that is so exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I can't believe it. I'm yep, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's only so often that you get to see like
a really premium concert generally, you know, like a real
like we're putting on the show Litzen type of concert,
and then for it to be I think your favorite artist.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's remember that time that that personal trainer was like,
is Beyonce your favorite artist? Because I kept saying sligh,
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So, yes, how did you know? Oh yeah, one, hay girl,
I forgot to say. That feels like exactly the opposite
of this is though, I went to a community sewing
class last night to learn how to use a sewing machine,
and because today I think I have shin splints from it,
(08:57):
Like my shin hurts and I'm like, oh my god,
I think it's from taking could be sewing class.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, it's sore, sore, It's gonna be sore.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But that's still bad. But that's still crazy. Also, I
used that I use this foot to drive, Like, why
is this so much different?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's interesting. We used to drive.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
All right, you don't drive anymore, and you have remember
at the sewing class. Oh, I don't know what foot
it is. Oh what's I forgot? You can't drive anywhere? No,
I didn't go to the sewing class.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It was kind of I tell you, Oh what did
I tell you about the knitting class that I took
as a child.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I don't know. Oh man, what happened? Do you know?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Anything about knitting a tiny bit. So this is beginner's
stuff where if you're knitting up, it's called knit knit,
the stitch is a knit. If you're knitting down, it's
called a pearl p U R l H. And you
can do various patterns. And the week that we were
learning pearling, I went up and I showed my homework
(10:12):
to the teacher and she looks at it and she goes,
what were you watching TV while you made this?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh my god? But the answer was.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, could never stitch in the whatever the commercials watch.
I stitched in a Kellogg's serial commercial. This is Pelugg's
special k with red berries. This scarf is brought to.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You by That is so crazy, she read me. She
got my ass this woman last night, and then we
can move on. But I think that she's a good
patron saint of our existence. She was like just an
old librarian who teaches this when she feels like it.
And she kept saying, this is the first class. This
(10:59):
is the rock bottom class. Say you could ask whatever
you want. We're just trying to leave learning the machine,
all right, Like this is the rock bottom class. If
anybody was like, am I sewing this right? She'd like,
it doesn't matter, it's the rock bottom class. My god,
I love her. I loved her. I loved her.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Wow, let's get her on the pot. That's kint a
third host.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
She was just like she did not get you know.
She'd be like yeah, oh, and she kept saying, you
don't want your stuff to look you want to look handmade,
not homemade, so make sure those corners are. But this
is your first one, so it doesn't really matter. Wow,
it was so awesome. I love that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Are you gonna get a sewing machine?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
There are like so many sewing machines floating around my life.
The reason I wanted to take it is because I
don't know how to use them when I'm confronted with one. Yeah,
and let me tell you, some of my friends were like, oh,
I could teach you how to sew. I'm so glad
I went to this class because it is so complicated,
like actually putting the strings on. Because she was a badass,
she kept being like, yeah, they've been doing this for
(12:03):
like hundreds of years and there's just never been They've
never made a better system than this.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
God, it's like the speculum, Yes, exactly. In the eighteen hundreds.
They did the Industrial Revolution and they were like, well
for women's stuff, we're done.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, this is the best.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's fine, call it wow.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, anyway, Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Love that siena local seamstress.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
At the end of the At the end of this,
I'll show you the bag I made. You made a
whole bag. That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
How long was this class? Two hours? Wow. It's really
easy to sew a bag together because you just sew
three sides of something and it looks really bad. All right,
speaking of things looking.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Bad, yeah, true, yes, and having a lot of heart,
could you please give us the synopsis of the FELM Shrek?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes, I can. Yeah, this movie while watching it felt
crystal clear, but when trying to write it down was hard. Okay, Shrek.
Shrek is an ogre. Shrek is an ogre. Lord far Quad.
Lord Farquad is evil ruler and he sends all the
(13:21):
fairy tale creatures to Shrek's swamp. Yeah, an act done
out of bigotry for the creatures. Yes, and due to
a lack of acknowledgment of Shrek's land, So Shrek is like,
what gives this is my land? Shrek meets Donkey also
(13:43):
Donkey becomes his his funky sidekick. They go on a
miniquest make a deal with Lord far Quad to go
on another quest to go rescue Princess Fiona, who Lord
far Quad needs to marry to be come king, to
stay king, because come care. Fiona turns out has a
(14:07):
spell cast on her that turns her specifically into an
ogre convenient at night, so that adds a little bit
of spice for her and her eating, yes, her evening.
Fiona and Shrek hit it off and things go a
little differently at the at the end of the thing.
(14:27):
It's a movie that shaped a generation. It did.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
It really did the end two generation, maybe even three.
I don't know what jen Alfa is watching. I'm scared
about them.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Anybody like our parents' age listening to this since you know,
we know our parents listen to this, just so you know, Yeah,
this movie is so significant to the brains of our
entire generation. It's like hard to it's hard to convey. Yeah,
there is.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I take this gym class on Saturdays where we use
a machine called the ski erg and there's little handles
up at the top of it, and the way the
instructor describes it is, he says, so you grab the
Shrek ears and you pull down. And that is because
this is a twenty one year old man and watching
the movie today, I said, oh my god, those handles
(15:16):
look exactly like the Shrek.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
They are really specific. Yeah, like it's and universal. I
can see all of these I can see all these
images so clearly. There are words said that I remember
so so clearly in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You remember full quotes from this film.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, and the zone of how it said. Yeah, huh
oh man, Well should we get into it. Let's let's
do Shrek changed the world once upon a time. We
embarked on our phone.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Notes, the section of the podcast where we look at
the notes that the other person took on their phone
while watching the film.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Leanna, your first note is being a peasant would be
so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You just mean generally, Yeah, like a medieval peasant. Everyone
had the same haircut, and everyone's hair was so dry.
You gotta wear that little cap, that little fabric cap.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I watched watched a video one time, because of course,
my YouTube sometimes often feeds me like, do you want
to watch some old, some some edutainment clip that's not
really that educational, but it's a little bit so you
feel good about yourself and I'm like yes. And there
was one about why so many people drowned Oh my
(16:39):
back in I don't know what era, just like peasant times, yeah,
hundred and it was because they'd go to wash stuff
in the river and the river was so cold and
their clothing was so heavy. It would just like suck
no because you had to like the only clothed they
(17:01):
had at the time were so heavy. Yeah, they just
fill up with water because they had to go. They
hadn't figured out a better system. They have to wash
their stuff at the water and they'd be like whoa, whoa, whoa.
It was such a problem. Whoa, whoa. Oh my god,
by clothes.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I none of it. It all seemed terrible, like there
was just not especially like at the Dark Ages. There
was no there was no levity, there was no music,
there was no art. Thank god for the Renaissance. Yeah,
both middle aged and beyonces both both. Yeah, but man,
(17:41):
oh man, to be a peasant in the Middle Ages,
I would be embarrassed. Ah bad, break, oh break, We'll
be right back.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I can't predict what things were like when we were
growing up. Everything was so weird. That's true. It was
the era of slime. Things were already getting weirdnpened one
was confused. They invented dream culture to sell more stuff,
but also we were having we were Everything was militarized
(18:24):
all of a sudden, and like, I don't know why
goo was such a thing. I don't know why those
in charge were.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Making the break through on goo, like it was suddenly
non toxic in a way it never had been before.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
We don't know. We have accessibility to goo in ways
we have because like in the eighties, you can watch
anything from the eighties and go okay, people were on cocaine.
But from the two thousands, I don't know what was
going on.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They were on goo.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They were on goo. People were you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Maybe it was that everybody was so hungry because it
was the be as skinny as you possibly can that
everybody got a little bit like lightheaded and hallucinatory.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So whatever it was that they were saying was for
us kids. I can't like the fact that they would
put like an Eddie Murphy donkey in this is completely understandable.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Thank god they did, Sienna, Yes you noted donkey is funny, Okay, Leanna,
you don't care, don't care?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He really, I will say, this movie is very funny.
I was cracking up.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, yeah, I was cracking up. Eddie Murphy as Donkey
I really believe deserves an Academy Award.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I wonder how much of this was improv for him. Oh,
because I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I truly don't know good in this?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
He is amazing, is he?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Where are we at with Eddie Murphy? Has he been
canceled at all? I don't think I've heard anything, So
I'm gonna speak positively. I'm going to speak very, very
glowingly about him, and sorry if not.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
A comedian from the time feels very unlikely that Risky.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Feels that a comedian from the early odds that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
All of his comedy would give respect to go yeah, yeah,
maybe mainly pretty pretty appreciated.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, Oh yeah, go on, Eddie Murphy. I love
him so much in this. I love him in Dream Girls.
That man is so talented. That man can do dramatic acting,
he can sing, he can dance, and he can voice
a donkey like no one else in history. I truly
(20:36):
believe no one ever, who has ever lived or ever
will live, can do justice to Donkey in the way
that Eddie Murphy did.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He's one of the funniest people who's ever been born.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, Donkey was everything too.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There was a part where he heard some imply that
they're walking along and Shrek farted, because that's what this
whole movie is. It's like, he's gross, he farts, he goes.
You can't just crack one off like that. My mouth
was open and everything, and I laughed for so much
longer than I expected.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
This is gonna be where we diverge because the parts
that were crude, Yeah, I did not like.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
There's a lot of the crude grow stuff that I
did not like either a lot. Okay, I don't like
Shrek's grossness. I was eating sushi as I sat down
to it, and I went, I gotta eat this fast
because I'm about to be I had a much more
of a stomach for this as a kid when it
didn't mean totally to me totally, and now there were
many parts where I had to look away. But that's
(21:45):
why I was so surprised that delivery from Donkey was
so funny that I did laugh a lot. The quote.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think my entire family knows this quote and quoted
it often to one another when he says and in
the morning, I'm making waffles.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh my god, I don't know how he does it.
Oh my god. I genuinely this is something I wrote
done too. I can't imagine a world before Donkey, before
we were given the gift B D and A d.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
H.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't know what was it like to be an
adult seeing this movie. They probably felt insane.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Imagine, yeah, they probably felt insane, but for them nine
to eleven had just happened, so like the world.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Had just changed.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, and it was very interesting watching it as adults
now because Sienna, you noted, it's actually really fucked up
what they're doing to these creatures.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It was insane. It was meant full atrocities.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It was meant was like an apartheid Is that a
word for it?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Oh god, there was an apartheid state situation happening. I'm sorry,
but that is what was going on. It was crazy. Also,
the jokes in this very adult. Yes, they must have
done the balance.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Of like, actually want to understand this and I didn't. Yeah,
compensating for something as a penis joke.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh ass?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
When when the dolls hint that they're about to sing
the word ass yeah face yeah, ah all alone?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yes, Leanna, you've said I'm all alone song very me, oh,
very me, very me? Which character did you resonate with?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And donkey don't care, don't care. He's like, please can
I stay with you?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Please? Will somebody please just love me?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Does anybody want to maybe spend time with me in
a significant way?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Anyone? Anyone at all? Hello? Hello, Hello, hello, all alone?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Ah, all alone? Who did you connect with? I hope
it was the three little pigs who were German? I
hope it was those German pigs.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, it was probably one of the one of those
side characters. Did you see that they killed the Mama
Bear girl?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That is in my trages, That is where I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That was too much, that whoa too much. They killed
her and they turned her into a rug and at
the end it's just Papa Bear and baby Bear at
the celebration, and I was like, I'm sorry, that's actually
too far. That's way too far culture as they're torturing
the gingerbread man.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Also, children don't have a hold on violence and death
and psychological warfare in the way that we do as adults,
because yeah, this movie hit me in a very different
way this time around, where I was like, no, I'm sorry,
I actually can't see atrocities happening. Yeah, this is supposed
to just be like a funny animated stopped doing atrocities.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
They just don't. Oh yeah it Ah. It was insane.
Culture was lawless at this time. People were showing their
ass cracks. It was odd. There was goo everywhere. Every music.
(25:24):
All the music was like all about being an idiot,
and like was Scar It's all.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Like I don't want to be an American idiot. Everybody's
so mad one nation under the new media.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It sounded like the Beach but everybody was angry.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Oh my god, the beach but everyone was angry.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's so it. Oh my dad, thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It's crazy, man.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I guess when you become aware of the inherent violence
of the capitalist state, eat Shrek is harder to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Leanna. You have said, to do all of this without
a backpack unfathomable, Leanna, that is a fantastic point. I
don't have anything. He sets out with nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
He's wearing his dirty quest this leather vest, his gay
little leather vest happy bright men.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Donkeys donkey.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Donkey's a donkey. That's fine, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He can eat.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Tress is like an anthropomorphic ogre who needs supplies. You
are supposed to famously take supplies with you on a quest.
Famously it's dangerous to go alone. Take this trek took nothing.
Imagine just being out there. Where do you put your hands?
(26:54):
You don't have any pockets.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Where did Shrek put his hands? Yeah, Shrek was actually
very gross to me watching this this okay, like he's
also like he was gross to me in the way
that like I am gross to me, like he feels
like an adult person, because I was just very aware,
like like you like with that, like the fact that
he's walking around in the same clothes for days and
(27:21):
days ah or visceral to me, I'm like I would
feel gross. I feel very I.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Did not even perceive that. I was like in that
cartoon way where he's always in the same Outhum, yeah,
for some reason, it's fine. For some reason, there are
others who would change outfits, so yeah, fair.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, I don't think there was a rhyme or
reason to it. I just was everything was visceral in
a way. This time where I was like.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh, man, yeah, I mean he showers in mud. That's
the beginning of the film.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Siena.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You noted she has internalized ogrephobia.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's just always even as a kid, it was so
interesting to be that And it makes sense because she
was hold in this spell like you're gonna be a
hideous monster, and so she was told by society and
also society literally wants to kill ogres. Like anytime, by
the way, Shrek walks into a place, they go kill
him or oh he's here kill Remember when remember when
Lord Farkwood was like, you're already doing a disservice by
(28:15):
being alive.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, that was crazy, Like but again said that line,
that was crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This movie is honest about the fact that they're like, yeah,
like townspeople want to kill ogres. Yeah, they hate them.
These guys fucking hate this guy. Yeah. But so I
understand why she feels that way. But it was just
interesting to me that she It's it runs so deep
that not even a part of her went, oh, I
feel lucky to be around Shrek right now, who would
(28:42):
understand me? Ah? She instead feels like, Okay, I don't
align with this person. At all, which I think you
have a lot of people with whatever sort feel and
when you have your own internal shame, you're like, no,
not that at all. That's not me, not alike.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I hate that in this way.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, I hate that. Yeah, it was. It was interesting
to see you never you don't have empathy for him
because you hate yourself. Whoa wow, Fiona, Wow, Okay, Leanna.
Obviously we talked about this before. You've said if I
was trapped in a tower with a dragon, I would
(29:21):
try to befriend it. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And now we found out her.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
We found out that this is like an absolutely cunty girl,
Lena of Aye of a dragon.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
That dragon is a girl's girl.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You can tell. You can tell for when she you know,
she's got huge eyelashes. She blows down the whole church
at the end, that's true, and punts Lord Farquaad I loved.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
She eats his entire ass and then punches out the glass,
the stained glass with his image on it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
She's a girls girl, sligh, That is a girl's girl.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
That is nobody slays harder than that dragon.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, I would try to her. Does she have a name?
It's just isn't it. It's just Dragon girl Dragon.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You asked who I connected with in this movie, and
it was the Dragon. It was the draug God. We're
Donkey and the Dragon.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
God.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
This is the reason we connect so much. Is our
secret soulmate, our brand of soulmate is Donkey and Donkey
in the Dragon.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh my gosh, what is it about the dreag Is
it that she's really mean to boys?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
She's so mean to men. She's so mean to men.
But then the people she loves, she loves like so much.
It's almost like, yeah, which I really I really connect with?
Oh she chooses wisely, Yeah, but then she's obsessed with them.
I'm obsessed with people I love. What can I say? Gosh,
that's true. And she's a big Girlina and she at
(30:50):
the end of the day, is it a big woman.
She's a long woman. The power of a long woman,
big and long, big and long. Leon you said, not
emotionally ready for a commitment of this magnitude triggered, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
God, who was Donkey said that to the Donkey said
that to the Dragon when they first meet, and she's
very enamored by him and they're sitting in her like
smag Den of Gold and Donkey says that, and I
was like, oh my god, I'm reading my own dms
on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
There's a lot of baggage. WHOA, I didn't know he
was in this movie.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I didn't complete I did not remember Donkey, not just
from the jump being head over heels for the dragon.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
He was really like, don't touch me. She was like
not letting up, and it was like respect his boundaries, mama.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It was decades before they understood the word consent.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was really amazing. Is not consensual? Yeah that's really true.
That's really true? Did you? And then she kissed shreks
As was crazy? I hated that.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I didn't like that at all.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Was his ass bear?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Imagine you go in for a kiss with your crush
and then it turns out you're eating someone else's ass.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That was I will say, like, I get why she
was so pissed and tried to kill them after that.
Oh yeah, oh absolutely she woulde be kissing Ogre's ass?
What the fuck.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That was?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
You all have to die. This has to be. This
also has to be the dirtiest ass in on this
side of the land. I'm sorry. That's like he takes
pride in how dirty his asses it has literal swamp ass.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Oh, he's the blueprint for swamp ass.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, Leoni, you said, ah a big stupid, ugly Oh girl,
men about me when I asked them on a date, Leanna, Leanna, Ah,
I'm all alone. No, that is what they do. It's
crazy they do that to you. Yes, I'll kill them. Okay,
(33:19):
thank you, Dragon, I will kill them. I will, girl Dragon,
punt them. I will burn them. I will eat them.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, I will use my big tail. Please punch out
their likeness. Please punch out their stained glass likeness in
the church.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
That is. I love her. I love her because she's
like beautiful and like she's graceful in her way and
she destroys everything. Yeah, I love her.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
She's really powerful.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Okay, Leanna, your final notes. I gotta get over there.
I gotta get over to London because girl, you said,
I'm ugly, okay me of late me?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, girl, I yeah, I'm in a space. I know
that's not necessarily the truth of reality necessarily per se perhaps,
but I'm in a space.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I'm in a swamp. So sorry you're in that swamp because,
first of all, completely completely unrealistic, you're absolutely serving of late,
by the way, thank you, thank you truly. Okay, but
also I understand the brain, so I'm sorry that your
brain is doing that. The mind got out, the swamp
(34:32):
got out, miss swamp. Miss swamp thought the fairy too.
And then you said, need to get Shrek a hat
to protect him from sun damage.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He was getting liver spots on the top of his
head because he left without a backpack.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
He left with nothing, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
At least take a hat.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Was three eggs.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Oh my god, you're right, probably had like a billion
slugs along the way.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I didn't like that. Sorry, I'm reading your final I'm
reading your final notes. Your final notes are sorry. It's
so fucking sad that Mama Bear is dead. That was
genuinely insane. That was too far. It was way too far.
And then your final note is and they lived ugly
(35:24):
ever after me. Okay, at this point, I was just
kind of committing to a bit. Then I saw her face.
Now I'm a podcaster and gotta take a break. Sometimes
we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
It's an ad woo, yeah, it's an AD break, taking
an AD break.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Just go now for now. I believe, believe believe.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Oh, Cianna, your final note is girls supporting girls? Is
this girl dragon? Yeah, punching out his lid.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
It's like it ends with donkey. Donkey facilitates it, which
we love. Yeah, but it doesn't end with a lie
with uh. The one who saves the day is the girls.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, that's so true. I did really like, I mean,
should we just get into badges and trages? No, now
I will give a badge. I didn't write this down,
but it's just come to me. I really appreciated that,
given the time that it came out during the female
characters are actually remarkably well rounded, not objectified by the protagonists. Yeah,
(36:45):
in a surprising way.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
That's a really good point, Like they're just treated as equals. It,
and then when they liked each other, they just like
liked each other. They just connected and yeah, I don't
know a lot in common. It was done very well.
And even when she was talking about like being ugly
and whatever, it was clearly so like this is supposed
(37:07):
to be ugly, right, Like like we'd already been given
the background for why we were, like why she was
supposed to be stressed about it. Yeah, and then you know,
it ends with her obviously becoming her ogre version, and
he's like, hmm, what eh, this is? This is great.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Oh, welcome everybody to badges and trages, a segment where
we give badges.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
For blind mice, blind mice.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Blind mice Comma three, and trages for too far with
some of the characters.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, we're going too far. My first badge I wrote
little montage and I can't remember which one that is,
because there's multiple montages in this and all of them
are so viscerally delightful to me from watching it as
a kid. Some set out were the opening, the opening
(38:00):
credits of everybody's name being like a gross splatter or something,
as we're like seeing his life.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I did not like that.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Once again for me as an adult, I was like,
oh ew, But in my mind I remember it being
like whoa awesome yeah yeah. And then also I love
that montage later of them falling in love doing the
creative the creative ugly gifts for each other, like when
(38:28):
she makes a candy out.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Of web, and then yeah, the balloon, the balloons mm
hmm A badge for Eddie Murphy. Oh my god, oh

which is that badge for I actually lloled a lot

so funny. I love him. I love him so much.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A badge for Okay, very hilarious that the three little
pigs are German a no, I assume to the original
tail the country of origin of the original tale, and
so funny to hear three little pigs talk in German accents.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
They just made it as funny as it could be
because they're German. And then the three blind mice are
kind of like British like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh hello,
what's over here? I don't know what's that? I can't
see it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Oh my god, it's so funny. I remembered all of
them having much larger roles and me too. So much
sense that they made sequels me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Too, because these they're so set up. You want to
see so much more of them. I know, I really
wanted to see a lot more of the creatures that
it made me want to watch the other ones. It
made me want to watch Shrek two. Are they coming
out with another one?
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Yeah? But it's animation is weird now and made for
the young ones, and I don't like looking at it.
My eyeballs reject it. That's true, like Puss in Boots
that animation style.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I was like, mm hmm. No. The people who watched this,
I mean adults must have seen this when we were
growing up and been like, the world is ending. This
is insane. That's things like this are coming out right,
Like they're like, yeah, this weird video game looking ogre.
These kids are doomed, and we were and we are.
We aren't doing well. Look at us now mentally ill
(40:24):
uh badge For the music, I mean, is there a
movie with more iconic music than this?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Every song was a banger, and it teaches children good songs. Yeah,
this is how I learned Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Oh my God,
Hello Hello. Somebody once told me, Yeah, the world is
gonna roll me the song somebody wants to Ain't the
sharpest tool in the ship.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
That's a kind of dumb with the fast.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Faster in this day an ill and of course believer,
and I.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Saw her faith. It's important to teach children about good songs,
and everyone did it. I also learned the song that
bad reputation. Oh my god, my mom says, am I
right that I would ask her to play that in
the car and she was like, oh my god, I'm
going to have a punk rock bad girl as a daughter.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And oh she did. We've all seen your communion photo
punk rock as hell. Sorry for saying hell.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Badge for. All the meadows in this look so dreamy.
They do look dreamy. Oh I wanted to roll. It
is the perfect liminal space I want to I want
to go be there.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Yes, it's like the bliss computer background.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah on a deli. Yeah, Badge for. There's comedy every second,
but somehow but also not too much. It's not like
an overstimulating movie, even though there's lots of images jokes.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah, that's one thing I could have seen because I
remember all these banger songs and I remember all these
just stimulating images as a kid. But it was really
it was kind of it was, I don't know, it
was pleasant, Yeah, a badge for.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Honestly, they animated this bridge scene compellingly, the bridge over
the lava too. I was like, they didn't have to
do such a good job with that, and they really did.
And I was getting like whoa. I was feeling like
a peasant washing their clothes at the river. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa our apologies to all peasants who died by drowning.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, I I agreed with that. I also was struck
by that scene when he's swinging it and the camera. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Actually, like directing, I rarely am aware of it, but
I did notice it there and.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
All the camera angles in this. I was really it
was really good. They didn't have to eat, they didn't
have to eat this much, they didn't have to rock
this so hard. Badge for this is so specific and
of its time that it's kind of a standalone genre,
which is really amazing. It's like, yeah, liminal space, fairy tale, scarf,
(43:23):
all these words feel like it's true to me, you know.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
You know that genre of fairy tale sco emotional goo
mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
And yet it works so well. It works.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
It gels if you will, itels. A badge for the
Princess Refrain.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
Yeah, my final alone every day that I wrote down,
even though I could give just badge after badge after
badge for each image that seared into my memory, but
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Badge is for actually very developed characters. Yeah, very struck
by just how how good the writing was. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I have a badge for Fiona articulating what she needs
when she's like, I need to be in a cave,
going to bed right now. It is so hard for
women to say what they need and stand firmly in it.
She didn't say no worries if not. She was like, no,
this has to happen, and it's gonna happen right now
because I need this to happen.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
And they went with it. Oh my god, they said, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Obviously a badge for a nod to river Dance when
Robin Hood, who's French for no reason, that comes out
and does a little little performance with his merry men
and they do a line that's similar to river Dance.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Everything that happened to this movie. I went, I'm so
happy this is happening.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Why was he French? Robin Hood is from Shedwood forests?
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Badge for floating don Ke when they're at the wedding
and you just see it out the window. Don Ke
float up because Shrek is tossing him to get a view.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
I love it the beginning, the very beginning, when he's
floating at the very beginning, I was laughing. He is
so cute. I love him.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
He's It was again like they animated the main animal
like they are a dog. So they had very dog
tendencies and behaviors, and it was adorable. My final badge
is a badge for bangers only. Every song a banger.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Boom boom. Love is only true in Fairytail. I believe,
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, believe, believe. Yes, well, Leanna,
do you have any trages? I do I have some. Yes.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
My first trage is for grossness. Yes, that is my
main trage.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
My trage is gross when he first shrieks at the
townspeople and and yeah, and spit and goo comes out
of his mouth. I remember that as a kid and
finding it scary. But even my kid's self is much
stronger than me in that way, because I couldn't look
I couldn't look at it.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
A trag for she kissed his ass. That was crazy.
I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
A trage for oh my god, they made a rug
out of Mama bear.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
That was crazy.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
A trage for I never liked the part where the
bird explodes and Fiona takes its eggs. I think I
didn't like that growing up either. I think it made
me sad, but never liked that.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
This time I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
And then my final trag is a trage for yeah,
fat phobia, because yes, she's got internalized ogre phobia. But
also it's that era of like she's so perfect, skinny
white woman, yes, long, skinny, lean white woman, and then
when she becomes an ogre, she becomes like she becomes
she becomes just a real body type, body like real,
(47:02):
like real woman.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
It's just like that body type actually exists. So it's
not like they makes her some secret over body type.
It's a human.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
No, it's like a plus sized woman. And so the
messaging that like oh oh this is like other and
different and bad, there's a lot of uh implicit isms
going yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
I mean also we already know what it's like at
the time. I mean we just watched real Women have curves,
which came up after this, and we were like, oh quaint, yeah,
definitely trage worthy that this messaging was completely received and
accepted just in movies generally. Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yeah, and at the end and she accepts herself. She's like, oh,
this my true self. But yeah, that bit in the
middle where Donkey's like, yeah you are ugly, the bit
where it's like okay again, they don't even got to
give a trage.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
They don't make her. She's not like they forget. Did
you see the substance?
Speaker 3 (47:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Absolutely not. But I read the Wikipedia. She's not like
a big monstro freak like the like. She's not like
an ugly freak. She just like reads a girl like one.
They wanted to make her because they because they made
her cute. She's a cute character.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah, yeaheah, it does it is like, what the huh? Yeah,
those are all my trages.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
That's fantastic, fantastic, and I guess the waterboarding the character, Yeah,
a trage for atrocities. The atrocities were actually very All
of us sitting around watching were.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Like, oh, once you've had an education that teaches you
about atrocities throughout human history, It's like, man, this isn't
really funny as a concept.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Yep, agreed, you know Leona Shell. We move on to
our next segment, which is, of course, how to pretend
you've seen this film? This is for you. Are just
hanging out at your swamp, chilling.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Out with yes, and Lord far Quad comes up to
you with his hairy chest and back.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
And uh decrees.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
He his trumpetears trumpet him in and he goes.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I get to tell everybody I want, every girl I want,
and anybody who's around about my favorite movies. And I
just watched a movie called Shrek. I love the way
that it says that people are ugly. Some people are
ugly and they should be killed.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
And in order to swamp Lord farquaad with information so
he can no longer rule over any conversation. We're gonna
give you a few sentences you can say to pretend
you've seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Oh my gosh, yes, Lord Farquad, I have seen the
film Shrek. Eddie Murphy's baff denomination for his voiceover performance
was the first of its kind. Yes, I don't even
know what that means, but that, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Understand British Acting Film, British Academy, British Film and Television Awards.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Eddie Murphy also says that Shrek the Shrek series is
among his best works. He's absolutely right. I'm so glad
that he enjoyed it too, and I have fun and
as proud of it because it really like he really
set in motion again our culture.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
Yeah, yes, Lord far quad, I've seen Shrek. I am
going to shut you up forever, after which I will
celebrate for the whole evening and in the morning, I'm
making waffles. Yes, Lord Farquaad, I have seen the film.
(50:31):
I have seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
As we discussed last time on Prince of Egypt, people
were taken off of Prince of Egypt and put on
this film called Shrek Call, and it was called Getting
shrekd And the reason for that because I was curious,
like did they not believe in it? Or is because
the animation process the production was apparently so grueling, which
kind of makes sense because it's really like.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Oh wow, was this an early days like three D animation?
I think deathly, not that it came out in three D,
but you know how Prince of Egypt was flat And
I mean whatever those words are, sure, I guess, so.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Is that what I mean? I think?
Speaker 2 (51:10):
So whatever you know is what I believe that when
it comes to anything production wise, I don't.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Okay, let's read a couple of let's read a couple
of uh facts about Donkey. In an interview, once, Eddie
Murphy joked that the movie Shrek and his character Donkey
became so popular that if he had died the year
the movie was released, newspapers would probably have used a
picture of donkeys. He's dead. Donkey is dead. Donkey is dead.
(51:54):
Okay so. William Steig, the writer of Shrek, also wrote
a children's book called Sylvester and the Magic, in which
a donkey has a magic pebble, scared h has a
magic pebble, and scared of a lion, wishes himself to
be a boulder for protection.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh, Shrek, he says, that is a nice boulder.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
This is referenced in Shrek in Donkey's famous quote, I
like that boulder. That is a nice, nice boulder. That's cute.
I love Donkey.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
Okay, yes, let me do one.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
Sorry, yes, I was trying to do all the Donkey
ones in a row.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Oh my god, okay, than I thought, Oh my god, okay, yes,
Lord Farquad, I've seen Shrek, And if you don't stop
talking to me, I'm gonna get you kicked out of
your overcompensating brutalist castle. And you're gonna speak like those
those German little pigs. You're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
He yeah, he hoffed, and he puffed and he sent
on to fiction. Notice that's just good germ and so funny. Yes,
what far, aquad I've seen the film Shrek. The scene
where Princess Fiona burps was written after a recording session
(53:17):
where Cameron Diaz burped after drinking Coca cola. Eddie Murphy
improvised Donkey's response to Shrek, She's as nasty as you are. Oh,
I want to know how much he improvised, because I
know he probably just like got in there and said
a bunch of stuff that's like paras Like. There's no
way they wrote that thing about par fays.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Like Robin Williams is the genie. They have so many
hours of recording that they didn't end up using because.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
He just gave so much.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
We're so lucky to have a dream.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
Oh my gosh. Okay. Steven Spielberg was originally going to
produce the film and Nanti ninety one is he always
tied to these movies. Then the film would have been
in hand drawn anim and was going to start Bill
Murray as Shrek and Steve Martin as Donkey kill me.
Speaker 2 (54:04):
No, no, no, And it ends with Shrek carrying the
ten commandments like seeing them drawings, Thou shalt not kill
I see, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, covet
thy neighbors swamp, thou shalt not.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
Kay.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
I am about to address Lord farquadt about how I've
seen the film Shrek. But Donkey boots him into the
next realm with a strong hind kick, and I say,
that'll do Donky.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Great.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
It's a movie about an ogre and a donkey, and
the donkey can talk, and the ogre is for some reason,
Scott it and it was the most important movie to
come out of the United States of America. Ah in
the twenty first century.
Speaker 1 (55:08):
Uh no, now, now we have to do another second.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Actually, this is the segment should you watch this or
in which we tell you if you should watch this
movie or if you should do something else in your swamp.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
What do you think, Leanna?
Speaker 2 (55:23):
I think, yeah, you can watch Shrek. If you want
to see another incredible Eddie Murphy performance, you could watch
dream Girls. Oh my gosh, and.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
I just forgot he was in other stuff.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
I know he's so iconique Sianna, what would you say?
Speaker 1 (55:42):
I would say, yes, you can watch Shrek. It's been
so long since I've seen it, and it was really
fun to rewatch. But if you watch it, you will
want to watch the others. Yeah, that's true. It is true.
We did not see any of those pigs or this
mice or gee, catch me more, Suah, I must see
more of straight little pig. What would you rate the
film Shrek?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Lehanna, I've been I've been waffling over this the whole
episode because I want to give it a four four
frog balloons out of five, but the grossness is something
that would dock it a point, and killing Mama Bear
is also something that would doc So I think I'm
(56:24):
going to give it a three. Maybe I'll give it
a three point five frog balloons out of five out
of out of deference to the fact that its shaped.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Degeneration is so important for some anxiety disorder in depression.
Speaker 2 (56:45):
Yeah, oh and oh one more? Should you watch this
or I don't? I think we have less depression than
we would have because of Shrek.
Speaker 1 (56:54):
Grim one more?
Speaker 2 (56:56):
Should you watch this or is you should also watch
the TikTok trend from twenty twenty two of a Shrek
absolutely snatched waist in a leather body suit, giant coming
over the horizon, bigger than any building, and dancing to
the song.
Speaker 1 (57:15):
Material worl I wish I had boots. But see, I
know what would you rate the film? There's so many images?
Can you pasants? Can't imagine the.
Speaker 2 (57:28):
Number of images that TikTok trend would kill a Middle
Ages present for sure, before the river got them, they
would that's what they'd be watching when they're when they're
heavy clothes filled with water and dragged them, pulled them
under material.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
I would give this movie. I I have so much
affection for it. I'm gonna give it. And also all
the things that are coming off of it are the
like weird insane atrocities stuff. Yeah m hm, it's really
uncomfortable and all the like, yeah, the things we talked about.
(58:13):
I'm gonna give it four point five bubbling rock eggs
out of out of five. Oh my gosh, that's such
a visceral image for me.
Speaker 4 (58:24):
Yeah yeah, oh.
Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yes, well there you go, everybun we that Shrek, thank

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And I'm Leana Holsten, and welcome to Tossed Popcorn, the
podcast where two idiots watched every film on the AFI's
one hundred Greatest American Movies of All Time, the Very
slightly Less Racist tenth Anniversary edition, and are now watching
movies that a woman worked on, No movies with with
(00:35):
a woman director, as this podcast is a safe swamp
for people who don't know anything about movies today. What
I'm loving is I'm never going to quite click into it.
It's always going to be almost something that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Today we're watching Shrek.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You're so wrapped up in layers onion boy, your pretty
own feelings. Warning, there will be spoilers about this gooey old,
felim fulham old film.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh my gosh, like we can't even right right, Well, Leanna,
your prediction about the film?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
You sure can, Okay, it's making me laugh a lot
more than it's making you laugh.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yes, sure can. No, that's okay, I'll drop it. We
have to remember I woke up, unfortunately in an unfortunate way,
at a somewhat normal time, but because I wasn't planning to.
It ruined everything.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We're gonna have to talk about that because I also
misread the text when you so we'll have to we'll delve,
but for now, Sienna, here is my prediction for Treck.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Good morning, Sienna, Oh my gosh, good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's Leanna Sam about.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
To watch Straight Out the Swamp. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I think I've seen this movie in like two decades,
but I predict of course Donk and swamp and Fiona
is princess, but then is Oger.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I think the birds.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Explode and I can't remember if the dragon is in
Shrek too, and the princess will be here right?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
This is the one with Lord Farquah. One was what
is one? Yeah? I hope I get go love you back.
I love the week. Donky, I remember, don't that's me
on my deathbed.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't remember, Donky.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Leanna, here's my prediction of the movie. Yes please, yes, please,
yes please Hi Leanna. This is Sienna, and I need
to get in there because I'm afraid that if I
don't do it right now, that my roommate's only and
that I'll be watching Shrek alone. Are you watching Shrek alone?
It feels insane to watch Shrek alone right now. But anyway,
(03:07):
we're about to watch Shrek Lord farquad Ogres, et cetera.
I haven't seen it in a really long time. Yeah,
but it's iconic. Okay, I love you, goodbye. Okay. Well, well,
so you watched Trek alone. Yeah? Oh my god, no,
(03:29):
I'm so sorry. Existential, existential, existential, I'm I've mentally entered
the swamp. No, all my I got home and all
my roommates were still awake, which never happens. They were
still awake and they were watching Glee. And I was like,
(03:51):
oh my god, I'm glad you guys are having a
good time. But I'm about to put Shrek on right now,
and if people leave, I'm gonna be so upset.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh my gosh, I can't believe they watching Glee.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's very its own way.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was very It was very interesting. It was like,
that's not what the vibes usually are in my household.
It's like people kind of like party time, let's watch Glee. Yeah,
partners were over and stuff. It was it was interesting.
Diet forced them to watch Shrek.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I watched it by myself at seven thirty in the morning,
I texted my flatmate about it. I mean, they were
leaving for work, but I was like, please don't be alarmed.
But I'm in the living room watching Shrek.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Did they Did they see it at all?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Again, I was alone out there. I watched it alone.
I'm so sorry for the existential drawa. I was alone.
I'm all alone. Well, Leonna, speaking of existential Hey girl.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Hey girl, oh girl, this text you sent so do
you care to explain?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yes? So, today, unfortunately, unfortunately, my boyf accidentally called me
on the FaceTime at six thirty am. He wakes up
very early, and I think there was probably just like
an old notification or something and he like clicked on
it on accident. So I woke up with a fright
(05:19):
to my phone buzzing, and I just lay there thinking
about every anxiety I've ever had in my whole life.
Oh no, oh no, just going down a spiral, just like,
please fall asleep, please fall asleep, so I don't have
to think about anything anymore. Please please please please.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And so in that way, unfortunately, and much much love
to him, and it's all good, but he did ruin
my life.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, okay, Oh well, I missed the word or the
phrase on accident. So I read your message as Kelsey
ruined my life, like when he called me at six
point thirty this morning, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh my god, what happened? Oh my oh my god,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Scary, like almost replied immediately, are you okay? But then
I really read it and I was like, well, that's
insane as a response.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm so glad that you reread it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, and I'm so glad that that that it was
what it was and not what I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, I was being so dramatic. I get it. Hey girl,
Leona hate girl?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh hate girl. Yeah, I guess I'm in a space.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Huh girl.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Drink this in though, because this is the last you'll
ever see me in the way that I am and
have been for my time on this earth. Because tomorrow
night I am seeing Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh that's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm so excited you've never seen. I bought a cowboy
hat from Etsy. It's my first time seeing her live.
I got a disco cowboy hat from Etsy. That's oh
my bag and so heavy. It arrived slightly damaged. My
flatmate bought me super glue today because I have to
do repairs on it overnight. I will be a different woman.
(07:12):
I will be a changed woman, no promises after tomorrow night. Wow,
I'm so excited that I actually you can't hear it
in my voice, you know that kind of excitement. Yeah,
like I'm not smiling about it. Yes, because I'm sorry,
I'm so serious. I'm grave I feel gravely excited.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's wrapped around in a way where if you tried
to communicate it with our human language, it would do
a disservice to it. Thank you for understanding. I do understand.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I do understand.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So listeners mark this, mark this as the final episode
pre Beyonce. This is who E, B and AB will
be tossed popcorn before Beyonce and after Beyonce. Wow, I'm
going with my flatmate Eliza.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Oh my gosh, that is so exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I can't believe it. I'm yep, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's only so often that you get to see like
a really premium concert generally, you know, like a real
like we're putting on the show Litzen type of concert,
and then for it to be I think your favorite artist.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's remember that time that that personal trainer was like,
is Beyonce your favorite artist? Because I kept saying sligh,
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So, yes, how did you know? Oh yeah, one, hay girl,
I forgot to say. That feels like exactly the opposite
of this is though, I went to a community sewing
class last night to learn how to use a sewing machine,
and because today I think I have shin splints from it,
(08:57):
Like my shin hurts and I'm like, oh my god,
I think it's from taking could be sewing class.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, it's sore, sore, It's gonna be sore.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But that's still bad. But that's still crazy. Also, I
used that I use this foot to drive, Like, why
is this so much different?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's interesting. We used to drive.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Well, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
All right, you don't drive anymore, and you have remember
at the sewing class. Oh, I don't know what foot
it is. Oh what's I forgot? You can't drive anywhere? No,
I didn't go to the sewing class.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
It was kind of I tell you, Oh what did
I tell you about the knitting class that I took
as a child.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I don't know. Oh man, what happened? Do you know?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Anything about knitting a tiny bit. So this is beginner's
stuff where if you're knitting up, it's called knit knit,
the stitch is a knit. If you're knitting down, it's
called a pearl p U R l H. And you
can do various patterns. And the week that we were
learning pearling, I went up and I showed my homework
(10:12):
to the teacher and she looks at it and she goes,
what were you watching TV while you made this?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh my god? But the answer was.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, could never stitch in the whatever the commercials watch.
I stitched in a Kellogg's serial commercial. This is Pelugg's
special k with red berries. This scarf is brought to.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You by That is so crazy, she read me. She
got my ass this woman last night, and then we
can move on. But I think that she's a good
patron saint of our existence. She was like just an
old librarian who teaches this when she feels like it.
And she kept saying, this is the first class. This
(10:59):
is the rock bottom class. Say you could ask whatever
you want. We're just trying to leave learning the machine,
all right, Like this is the rock bottom class. If
anybody was like, am I sewing this right? She'd like,
it doesn't matter, it's the rock bottom class. My god,
I love her. I loved her. I loved her.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Wow, let's get her on the pot. That's kint a
third host.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
She was just like she did not get you know.
She'd be like yeah, oh, and she kept saying, you
don't want your stuff to look you want to look handmade,
not homemade, so make sure those corners are. But this
is your first one, so it doesn't really matter. Wow,
it was so awesome. I love that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Are you gonna get a sewing machine?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
There are like so many sewing machines floating around my life.
The reason I wanted to take it is because I
don't know how to use them when I'm confronted with one. Yeah,
and let me tell you, some of my friends were like, oh,
I could teach you how to sew. I'm so glad
I went to this class because it is so complicated,
like actually putting the strings on. Because she was a badass,
she kept being like, yeah, they've been doing this for
(12:03):
like hundreds of years and there's just never been They've
never made a better system than this.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
God, it's like the speculum, Yes, exactly. In the eighteen hundreds.
They did the Industrial Revolution and they were like, well
for women's stuff, we're done.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, this is the best.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's fine, call it wow.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, anyway, Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Love that siena local seamstress.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
At the end of the At the end of this,
I'll show you the bag I made. You made a
whole bag. That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
How long was this class? Two hours? Wow. It's really
easy to sew a bag together because you just sew
three sides of something and it looks really bad. All right,
speaking of things looking.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Bad, yeah, true, yes, and having a lot of heart,
could you please give us the synopsis of the FELM Shrek?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yes, I can. Yeah, this movie while watching it felt
crystal clear, but when trying to write it down was hard. Okay, Shrek.
Shrek is an ogre. Shrek is an ogre. Lord far Quad.
Lord Farquad is evil ruler and he sends all the
(13:21):
fairy tale creatures to Shrek's swamp. Yeah, an act done
out of bigotry for the creatures. Yes, and due to
a lack of acknowledgment of Shrek's land, So Shrek is like,
what gives this is my land? Shrek meets Donkey also
(13:43):
Donkey becomes his his funky sidekick. They go on a
miniquest make a deal with Lord far Quad to go
on another quest to go rescue Princess Fiona, who Lord
far Quad needs to marry to be come king, to
stay king, because come care. Fiona turns out has a
(14:07):
spell cast on her that turns her specifically into an
ogre convenient at night, so that adds a little bit
of spice for her and her eating, yes, her evening.
Fiona and Shrek hit it off and things go a
little differently at the at the end of the thing.
(14:27):
It's a movie that shaped a generation. It did.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
It really did the end two generation, maybe even three.
I don't know what jen Alfa is watching. I'm scared
about them.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Anybody like our parents' age listening to this since you know,
we know our parents listen to this, just so you know, Yeah,
this movie is so significant to the brains of our
entire generation. It's like hard to it's hard to convey. Yeah,
there is.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I take this gym class on Saturdays where we use
a machine called the ski erg and there's little handles
up at the top of it, and the way the
instructor describes it is, he says, so you grab the
Shrek ears and you pull down. And that is because
this is a twenty one year old man and watching
the movie today, I said, oh my god, those handles
(15:16):
look exactly like the Shrek.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
They are really specific. Yeah, like it's and universal. I
can see all of these I can see all these
images so clearly. There are words said that I remember
so so clearly in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You remember full quotes from this film.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, and the zone of how it said. Yeah, huh
oh man, Well should we get into it. Let's let's
do Shrek changed the world once upon a time. We
embarked on our phone.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Notes, the section of the podcast where we look at
the notes that the other person took on their phone
while watching the film.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Leanna, your first note is being a peasant would be
so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You just mean generally, Yeah, like a medieval peasant. Everyone
had the same haircut, and everyone's hair was so dry.
You gotta wear that little cap, that little fabric cap.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I watched watched a video one time, because of course,
my YouTube sometimes often feeds me like, do you want
to watch some old, some some edutainment clip that's not
really that educational, but it's a little bit so you
feel good about yourself and I'm like yes. And there
was one about why so many people drowned Oh my
(16:39):
back in I don't know what era, just like peasant times, yeah,
hundred and it was because they'd go to wash stuff
in the river and the river was so cold and
their clothing was so heavy. It would just like suck
no because you had to like the only clothed they
(17:01):
had at the time were so heavy. Yeah, they just
fill up with water because they had to go. They
hadn't figured out a better system. They have to wash
their stuff at the water and they'd be like whoa, whoa, whoa.
It was such a problem. Whoa, whoa. Oh my god,
by clothes.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I none of it. It all seemed terrible, like there
was just not especially like at the Dark Ages. There
was no there was no levity, there was no music,
there was no art. Thank god for the Renaissance. Yeah,
both middle aged and beyonces both both. Yeah, but man,
(17:41):
oh man, to be a peasant in the Middle Ages,
I would be embarrassed. Ah bad, break, oh break, We'll
be right back.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I can't predict what things were like when we were
growing up. Everything was so weird. That's true. It was
the era of slime. Things were already getting weirdnpened one
was confused. They invented dream culture to sell more stuff,
but also we were having we were Everything was militarized
(18:24):
all of a sudden, and like, I don't know why
goo was such a thing. I don't know why those
in charge were.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Making the break through on goo, like it was suddenly
non toxic in a way it never had been before.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
We don't know. We have accessibility to goo in ways
we have because like in the eighties, you can watch
anything from the eighties and go okay, people were on cocaine.
But from the two thousands, I don't know what was
going on.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They were on goo.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They were on goo. People were you know what.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Maybe it was that everybody was so hungry because it
was the be as skinny as you possibly can that
everybody got a little bit like lightheaded and hallucinatory.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
So whatever it was that they were saying was for
us kids. I can't like the fact that they would
put like an Eddie Murphy donkey in this is completely understandable.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Thank god they did, Sienna, Yes you noted donkey is funny, Okay, Leanna,
you don't care, don't care?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He really, I will say, this movie is very funny.
I was cracking up.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, yeah, I was cracking up. Eddie Murphy as Donkey
I really believe deserves an Academy Award.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I wonder how much of this was improv for him. Oh,
because I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I truly don't know good in this?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
He is amazing, is he?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Where are we at with Eddie Murphy? Has he been
canceled at all? I don't think I've heard anything, So
I'm gonna speak positively. I'm going to speak very, very
glowingly about him, and sorry if not.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
A comedian from the time feels very unlikely that Risky.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Feels that a comedian from the early odds that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
All of his comedy would give respect to go yeah, yeah,
maybe mainly pretty pretty appreciated.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, Oh yeah, go on, Eddie Murphy. I love
him so much in this. I love him in Dream Girls.
That man is so talented. That man can do dramatic acting,
he can sing, he can dance, and he can voice
a donkey like no one else in history. I truly
(20:36):
believe no one ever, who has ever lived or ever
will live, can do justice to Donkey in the way
that Eddie Murphy did.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He's one of the funniest people who's ever been born.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, Donkey was everything too.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
There was a part where he heard some imply that
they're walking along and Shrek farted, because that's what this
whole movie is. It's like, he's gross, he farts, he goes.
You can't just crack one off like that. My mouth
was open and everything, and I laughed for so much
longer than I expected.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
This is gonna be where we diverge because the parts
that were crude, Yeah, I did not like.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
There's a lot of the crude grow stuff that I
did not like either a lot. Okay, I don't like
Shrek's grossness. I was eating sushi as I sat down
to it, and I went, I gotta eat this fast
because I'm about to be I had a much more
of a stomach for this as a kid when it
didn't mean totally to me totally, and now there were
many parts where I had to look away. But that's
(21:45):
why I was so surprised that delivery from Donkey was
so funny that I did laugh a lot. The quote.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think my entire family knows this quote and quoted
it often to one another when he says and in
the morning, I'm making waffles.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh my god, I don't know how he does it.
Oh my god. I genuinely this is something I wrote
done too. I can't imagine a world before Donkey, before
we were given the gift B D and A d.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
H.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I don't know what was it like to be an
adult seeing this movie. They probably felt insane.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Imagine, yeah, they probably felt insane, but for them nine
to eleven had just happened, so like the world.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Had just changed.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Well, and it was very interesting watching it as adults
now because Sienna, you noted, it's actually really fucked up
what they're doing to these creatures.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It was insane. It was meant full atrocities.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It was meant was like an apartheid Is that a
word for it?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Oh god, there was an apartheid state situation happening. I'm sorry,
but that is what was going on. It was crazy. Also,
the jokes in this very adult. Yes, they must have
done the balance.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Of like, actually want to understand this and I didn't. Yeah,
compensating for something as a penis joke.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh ass?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
When when the dolls hint that they're about to sing
the word ass yeah face yeah, ah all alone?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yes, Leanna, you've said I'm all alone song very me, oh,
very me, very me? Which character did you resonate with?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
And donkey don't care, don't care. He's like, please can
I stay with you?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Please? Will somebody please just love me?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Does anybody want to maybe spend time with me in
a significant way?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Anyone? Anyone at all? Hello? Hello, Hello, hello, all alone?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Ah, all alone? Who did you connect with? I hope
it was the three little pigs who were German? I
hope it was those German pigs.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, it was probably one of the one of those
side characters. Did you see that they killed the Mama
Bear girl?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That is in my trages, That is where I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That was too much, that whoa too much. They killed
her and they turned her into a rug and at
the end it's just Papa Bear and baby Bear at
the celebration, and I was like, I'm sorry, that's actually
too far. That's way too far culture as they're torturing
the gingerbread man.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Also, children don't have a hold on violence and death
and psychological warfare in the way that we do as adults,
because yeah, this movie hit me in a very different
way this time around, where I was like, no, I'm sorry,
I actually can't see atrocities happening. Yeah, this is supposed
to just be like a funny animated stopped doing atrocities.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
They just don't. Oh yeah it Ah. It was insane.
Culture was lawless at this time. People were showing their
ass cracks. It was odd. There was goo everywhere. Every music.
(25:24):
All the music was like all about being an idiot,
and like was Scar It's all.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Like I don't want to be an American idiot. Everybody's
so mad one nation under the new media.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It sounded like the Beach but everybody was angry.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Oh my god, the beach but everyone was angry.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's so it. Oh my dad, thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It's just.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It's crazy, man.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I guess when you become aware of the inherent violence
of the capitalist state, eat Shrek is harder to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Leanna. You have said, to do all of this without
a backpack unfathomable, Leanna, that is a fantastic point. I
don't have anything. He sets out with nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
He's wearing his dirty quest this leather vest, his gay
little leather vest happy bright men.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Donkeys donkey.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Donkey's a donkey. That's fine, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
He can eat.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Tress is like an anthropomorphic ogre who needs supplies. You
are supposed to famously take supplies with you on a quest.
Famously it's dangerous to go alone. Take this trek took nothing.
Imagine just being out there. Where do you put your hands?
(26:54):
You don't have any pockets.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Where did Shrek put his hands? Yeah, Shrek was actually
very gross to me watching this this okay, like he's
also like he was gross to me in the way
that like I am gross to me, like he feels
like an adult person, because I was just very aware,
like like you like with that, like the fact that
he's walking around in the same clothes for days and
(27:21):
days ah or visceral to me, I'm like I would
feel gross. I feel very I.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Did not even perceive that. I was like in that
cartoon way where he's always in the same Outhum, yeah,
for some reason, it's fine. For some reason, there are
others who would change outfits, so yeah, fair.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I mean, I don't think there was a rhyme or
reason to it. I just was everything was visceral in
a way. This time where I was like.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Oh, man, yeah, I mean he showers in mud. That's
the beginning of the film.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Siena.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You noted she has internalized ogrephobia.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's just always even as a kid, it was so
interesting to be that And it makes sense because she
was hold in this spell like you're gonna be a
hideous monster, and so she was told by society and
also society literally wants to kill ogres. Like anytime, by
the way, Shrek walks into a place, they go kill
him or oh he's here kill Remember when remember when
Lord Farkwood was like, you're already doing a disservice by
(28:15):
being alive.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, that was crazy, Like but again said that line,
that was crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This movie is honest about the fact that they're like, yeah,
like townspeople want to kill ogres. Yeah, they hate them.
These guys fucking hate this guy. Yeah. But so I
understand why she feels that way. But it was just
interesting to me that she It's it runs so deep
that not even a part of her went, oh, I
feel lucky to be around Shrek right now, who would
(28:42):
understand me? Ah? She instead feels like, Okay, I don't
align with this person. At all, which I think you
have a lot of people with whatever sort feel and
when you have your own internal shame, you're like, no,
not that at all. That's not me, not alike.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I hate that in this way.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, I hate that. Yeah, it was. It was interesting
to see you never you don't have empathy for him
because you hate yourself. Whoa wow, Fiona, Wow, Okay, Leanna.
Obviously we talked about this before. You've said if I
was trapped in a tower with a dragon, I would
(29:21):
try to befriend it. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And now we found out her.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
We found out that this is like an absolutely cunty girl,
Lena of Aye of a dragon.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
That dragon is a girl's girl.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You can tell. You can tell for when she you know,
she's got huge eyelashes. She blows down the whole church
at the end, that's true, and punts Lord Farquaad I loved.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
She eats his entire ass and then punches out the glass,
the stained glass with his image on it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
She's a girls girl, sligh, That is a girl's girl.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
That is nobody slays harder than that dragon.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, I would try to her. Does she have a name?
It's just isn't it. It's just Dragon girl Dragon.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
You asked who I connected with in this movie, and
it was the Dragon. It was the draug God. We're
Donkey and the Dragon.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
God.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
This is the reason we connect so much. Is our
secret soulmate, our brand of soulmate is Donkey and Donkey
in the Dragon.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh my gosh, what is it about the dreag Is
it that she's really mean to boys?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
She's so mean to men. She's so mean to men.
But then the people she loves, she loves like so much.
It's almost like, yeah, which I really I really connect with?
Oh she chooses wisely, Yeah, but then she's obsessed with them.
I'm obsessed with people I love. What can I say? Gosh,
that's true. And she's a big Girlina and she at
(30:50):
the end of the day, is it a big woman.
She's a long woman. The power of a long woman,
big and long, big and long. Leon you said, not
emotionally ready for a commitment of this magnitude triggered, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
God, who was Donkey said that to the Donkey said
that to the Dragon when they first meet, and she's
very enamored by him and they're sitting in her like
smag Den of Gold and Donkey says that, and I
was like, oh my god, I'm reading my own dms
on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
There's a lot of baggage. WHOA, I didn't know he
was in this movie.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I didn't complete I did not remember Donkey, not just
from the jump being head over heels for the dragon.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
He was really like, don't touch me. She was like
not letting up, and it was like respect his boundaries, mama.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It was decades before they understood the word consent.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was really amazing. Is not consensual? Yeah that's really true.
That's really true? Did you? And then she kissed shreks
As was crazy? I hated that.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I didn't like that at all.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Was his ass bear?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Imagine you go in for a kiss with your crush
and then it turns out you're eating someone else's ass.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That was I will say, like, I get why she
was so pissed and tried to kill them after that.
Oh yeah, oh absolutely she woulde be kissing Ogre's ass?
What the fuck.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That was?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
You all have to die. This has to be. This
also has to be the dirtiest ass in on this
side of the land. I'm sorry. That's like he takes
pride in how dirty his asses it has literal swamp ass.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Oh, he's the blueprint for swamp ass.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, Leoni, you said, ah a big stupid, ugly Oh girl,
men about me when I asked them on a date, Leanna, Leanna, Ah,
I'm all alone. No, that is what they do. It's
crazy they do that to you. Yes, I'll kill them. Okay,
(33:19):
thank you, Dragon, I will kill them. I will, girl Dragon,
punt them. I will burn them. I will eat them.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, I will use my big tail. Please punch out
their likeness. Please punch out their stained glass likeness in
the church.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
That is. I love her. I love her because she's
like beautiful and like she's graceful in her way and
she destroys everything. Yeah, I love her.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
She's really powerful.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Okay, Leanna, your final notes. I gotta get over there.
I gotta get over to London because girl, you said,
I'm ugly, okay me of late me?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, girl, I yeah, I'm in a space. I know
that's not necessarily the truth of reality necessarily per se perhaps,
but I'm in a space.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I'm in a swamp. So sorry you're in that swamp because,
first of all, completely completely unrealistic, you're absolutely serving of late,
by the way, thank you, thank you truly. Okay, but
also I understand the brain, so I'm sorry that your
brain is doing that. The mind got out, the swamp
(34:32):
got out, miss swamp. Miss swamp thought the fairy too.
And then you said, need to get Shrek a hat
to protect him from sun damage.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He was getting liver spots on the top of his
head because he left without a backpack.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
He left with nothing, nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
At least take a hat.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Was three eggs.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Oh my god, you're right, probably had like a billion
slugs along the way.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I didn't like that. Sorry, I'm reading your final I'm
reading your final notes. Your final notes are sorry. It's
so fucking sad that Mama Bear is dead. That was
genuinely insane. That was too far. It was way too far.
And then your final note is and they lived ugly
(35:24):
ever after me. Okay, at this point, I was just
kind of committing to a bit. Then I saw her face.
Now I'm a podcaster and gotta take a break. Sometimes
we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
It's an ad woo, yeah, it's an AD break, taking
an AD break.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Just go now for now. I believe, believe believe.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Oh, Cianna, your final note is girls supporting girls? Is
this girl dragon? Yeah, punching out his lid.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
It's like it ends with donkey. Donkey facilitates it, which
we love. Yeah, but it doesn't end with a lie
with uh. The one who saves the day is the girls.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, that's so true. I did really like, I mean,
should we just get into badges and trages? No, now
I will give a badge. I didn't write this down,
but it's just come to me. I really appreciated that,
given the time that it came out during the female
characters are actually remarkably well rounded, not objectified by the protagonists. Yeah,
(36:45):
in a surprising way.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
That's a really good point, Like they're just treated as equals. It,
and then when they liked each other, they just like
liked each other. They just connected and yeah, I don't
know a lot in common. It was done very well.
And even when she was talking about like being ugly
and whatever, it was clearly so like this is supposed
(37:07):
to be ugly, right, Like like we'd already been given
the background for why we were, like why she was
supposed to be stressed about it. Yeah, and then you know,
it ends with her obviously becoming her ogre version, and
he's like, hmm, what eh, this is? This is great.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Oh, welcome everybody to badges and trages, a segment where
we give badges.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
For blind mice, blind mice.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Blind mice Comma three, and trages for too far with
some of the characters.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, we're going too far. My first badge I wrote
little montage and I can't remember which one that is,
because there's multiple montages in this and all of them
are so viscerally delightful to me from watching it as
a kid. Some set out were the opening, the opening
(38:00):
credits of everybody's name being like a gross splatter or something,
as we're like seeing his life.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I did not like that.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Once again for me as an adult, I was like,
oh ew, But in my mind I remember it being
like whoa awesome yeah yeah. And then also I love
that montage later of them falling in love doing the
creative the creative ugly gifts for each other, like when
(38:28):
she makes a candy out.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Of web, and then yeah, the balloon, the balloons mm
hmm A badge for Eddie Murphy. Oh my god, oh

which is that badge for I actually lloled a lot

so funny. I love him. I love him so much.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A badge for Okay, very hilarious that the three little
pigs are German a no, I assume to the original
tail the country of origin of the original tale, and
so funny to hear three little pigs talk in German accents.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
They just made it as funny as it could be
because they're German. And then the three blind mice are
kind of like British like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh hello,
what's over here? I don't know what's that? I can't
see it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Oh my god, it's so funny. I remembered all of
them having much larger roles and me too. So much
sense that they made sequels me.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Too, because these they're so set up. You want to
see so much more of them. I know, I really
wanted to see a lot more of the creatures that
it made me want to watch the other ones. It
made me want to watch Shrek two. Are they coming
out with another one?
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Yeah? But it's animation is weird now and made for
the young ones, and I don't like looking at it.
My eyeballs reject it. That's true, like Puss in Boots
that animation style.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I was like, mm hmm. No. The people who watched this,
I mean adults must have seen this when we were
growing up and been like, the world is ending. This
is insane. That's things like this are coming out right,
Like they're like, yeah, this weird video game looking ogre.
These kids are doomed, and we were and we are.
We aren't doing well. Look at us now mentally ill
(40:24):
uh badge For the music, I mean, is there a
movie with more iconic music than this?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Every song was a banger, and it teaches children good songs. Yeah,
this is how I learned Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Oh my God,
Hello Hello. Somebody once told me, Yeah, the world is
gonna roll me the song somebody wants to Ain't the
sharpest tool in the ship.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
That's a kind of dumb with the fast.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Faster in this day an ill and of course believer,
and I.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Saw her faith. It's important to teach children about good songs,
and everyone did it. I also learned the song that
bad reputation. Oh my god, my mom says, am I
right that I would ask her to play that in
the car and she was like, oh my god, I'm
going to have a punk rock bad girl as a daughter.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
And oh she did. We've all seen your communion photo
punk rock as hell. Sorry for saying hell.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Badge for. All the meadows in this look so dreamy.
They do look dreamy. Oh I wanted to roll. It
is the perfect liminal space I want to I want
to go be there.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Yes, it's like the bliss computer background.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah on a deli. Yeah, Badge for. There's comedy every second,
but somehow but also not too much. It's not like
an overstimulating movie, even though there's lots of images jokes.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah, that's one thing I could have seen because I
remember all these banger songs and I remember all these
just stimulating images as a kid. But it was really
it was kind of it was, I don't know, it
was pleasant, Yeah, a badge for.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Honestly, they animated this bridge scene compellingly, the bridge over
the lava too. I was like, they didn't have to
do such a good job with that, and they really did.
And I was getting like whoa. I was feeling like
a peasant washing their clothes at the river. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa our apologies to all peasants who died by drowning.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, I I agreed with that. I also was struck
by that scene when he's swinging it and the camera. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Actually, like directing, I rarely am aware of it, but
I did notice it there and.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
All the camera angles in this. I was really it
was really good. They didn't have to eat, they didn't
have to eat this much, they didn't have to rock
this so hard. Badge for this is so specific and
of its time that it's kind of a standalone genre,
which is really amazing. It's like, yeah, liminal space, fairy tale, scarf,
(43:23):
all these words feel like it's true to me, you know.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
You know that genre of fairy tale sco emotional goo
mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
And yet it works so well. It works.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
It gels if you will, itels. A badge for the
Princess Refrain.
Speaker 6 (43:46):
Yeah, my final alone every day that I wrote down,
even though I could give just badge after badge after
badge for each image that seared into my memory, but
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Badge is for actually very developed characters. Yeah, very struck
by just how how good the writing was. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I have a badge for Fiona articulating what she needs
when she's like, I need to be in a cave,
going to bed right now. It is so hard for
women to say what they need and stand firmly in it.
She didn't say no worries if not. She was like, no,
this has to happen, and it's gonna happen right now
because I need this to happen.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
And they went with it. Oh my god, they said, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Obviously a badge for a nod to river Dance when
Robin Hood, who's French for no reason, that comes out
and does a little little performance with his merry men
and they do a line that's similar to river Dance.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Everything that happened to this movie. I went, I'm so
happy this is happening.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Why was he French? Robin Hood is from Shedwood forests?
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Badge for floating don Ke when they're at the wedding
and you just see it out the window. Don Ke
float up because Shrek is tossing him to get a view.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
I love it the beginning, the very beginning, when he's
floating at the very beginning, I was laughing. He is
so cute. I love him.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
He's It was again like they animated the main animal
like they are a dog. So they had very dog
tendencies and behaviors, and it was adorable. My final badge
is a badge for bangers only. Every song a banger.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Boom boom. Love is only true in Fairytail. I believe,
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, believe, believe. Yes, well, Leanna,
do you have any trages? I do I have some. Yes.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
My first trage is for grossness. Yes, that is my
main trage.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
My trage is gross when he first shrieks at the
townspeople and and yeah, and spit and goo comes out
of his mouth. I remember that as a kid and
finding it scary. But even my kid's self is much
stronger than me in that way, because I couldn't look
I couldn't look at it.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
A trag for she kissed his ass. That was crazy.
I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
A trage for oh my god, they made a rug
out of Mama bear.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
That was crazy.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
A trage for I never liked the part where the
bird explodes and Fiona takes its eggs. I think I
didn't like that growing up either. I think it made
me sad, but never liked that.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
This time I thought it was funny.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
And then my final trag is a trage for yeah,
fat phobia, because yes, she's got internalized ogre phobia. But
also it's that era of like she's so perfect, skinny
white woman, yes, long, skinny, lean white woman, and then
when she becomes an ogre, she becomes like she becomes
she becomes just a real body type, body like real,
(47:02):
like real woman.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
It's just like that body type actually exists. So it's
not like they makes her some secret over body type.
It's a human.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
No, it's like a plus sized woman. And so the
messaging that like oh oh this is like other and
different and bad, there's a lot of uh implicit isms
going yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
I mean also we already know what it's like at
the time. I mean we just watched real Women have curves,
which came up after this, and we were like, oh quaint, yeah,
definitely trage worthy that this messaging was completely received and
accepted just in movies generally. Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Yeah, and at the end and she accepts herself. She's like, oh,
this my true self. But yeah, that bit in the
middle where Donkey's like, yeah you are ugly, the bit
where it's like okay again, they don't even got to
give a trage.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
They don't make her. She's not like they forget. Did
you see the substance?
Speaker 3 (47:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Absolutely not. But I read the Wikipedia. She's not like
a big monstro freak like the like. She's not like
an ugly freak. She just like reads a girl like one.
They wanted to make her because they because they made
her cute. She's a cute character.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah, yeaheah, it does it is like, what the huh? Yeah,
those are all my trages.
Speaker 1 (48:16):
That's fantastic, fantastic, and I guess the waterboarding the character, Yeah,
a trage for atrocities. The atrocities were actually very All
of us sitting around watching were.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
Like, oh, once you've had an education that teaches you
about atrocities throughout human history, It's like, man, this isn't
really funny as a concept.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Yep, agreed, you know Leona Shell. We move on to
our next segment, which is, of course, how to pretend
you've seen this film? This is for you. Are just
hanging out at your swamp, chilling.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Out with yes, and Lord far Quad comes up to
you with his hairy chest and back.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
And uh decrees.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
He his trumpetears trumpet him in and he goes.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I get to tell everybody I want, every girl I want,
and anybody who's around about my favorite movies. And I
just watched a movie called Shrek. I love the way
that it says that people are ugly. Some people are
ugly and they should be killed.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
And in order to swamp Lord farquaad with information so
he can no longer rule over any conversation. We're gonna
give you a few sentences you can say to pretend
you've seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1 (49:29):
Oh my gosh, yes, Lord Farquad, I have seen the
film Shrek. Eddie Murphy's baff denomination for his voiceover performance
was the first of its kind. Yes, I don't even
know what that means, but that, oh, I.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Understand British Acting Film, British Academy, British Film and Television Awards.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Eddie Murphy also says that Shrek the Shrek series is
among his best works. He's absolutely right. I'm so glad
that he enjoyed it too, and I have fun and
as proud of it because it really like he really
set in motion again our culture.
Speaker 2 (50:06):
Yeah, yes, Lord far quad, I've seen Shrek. I am
going to shut you up forever, after which I will
celebrate for the whole evening and in the morning, I'm
making waffles. Yes, Lord Farquaad, I have seen the film.
(50:31):
I have seen the film Shrek.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
As we discussed last time on Prince of Egypt, people
were taken off of Prince of Egypt and put on
this film called Shrek Call, and it was called Getting
shrekd And the reason for that because I was curious,
like did they not believe in it? Or is because
the animation process the production was apparently so grueling, which
kind of makes sense because it's really like.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Oh wow, was this an early days like three D animation?
I think deathly, not that it came out in three D,
but you know how Prince of Egypt was flat And
I mean whatever those words are, sure, I guess, so.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Is that what I mean? I think?
Speaker 2 (51:10):
So whatever you know is what I believe that when
it comes to anything production wise, I don't.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Okay, let's read a couple of let's read a couple
of uh facts about Donkey. In an interview, once, Eddie
Murphy joked that the movie Shrek and his character Donkey
became so popular that if he had died the year
the movie was released, newspapers would probably have used a
picture of donkeys. He's dead. Donkey is dead. Donkey is dead.
(51:54):
Okay so. William Steig, the writer of Shrek, also wrote
a children's book called Sylvester and the Magic, in which
a donkey has a magic pebble, scared h has a
magic pebble, and scared of a lion, wishes himself to
be a boulder for protection.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
Oh, Shrek, he says, that is a nice boulder.
Speaker 1 (52:13):
This is referenced in Shrek in Donkey's famous quote, I
like that boulder. That is a nice, nice boulder. That's cute.
I love Donkey.
Speaker 2 (52:25):
Okay, yes, let me do one.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
Sorry, yes, I was trying to do all the Donkey
ones in a row.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Oh my god, okay, than I thought, Oh my god, okay, yes,
Lord Farquad, I've seen Shrek, And if you don't stop
talking to me, I'm gonna get you kicked out of
your overcompensating brutalist castle. And you're gonna speak like those
those German little pigs. You're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
He yeah, he hoffed, and he puffed and he sent
on to fiction. Notice that's just good germ and so funny. Yes,
what far, aquad I've seen the film Shrek. The scene
where Princess Fiona burps was written after a recording session
(53:17):
where Cameron Diaz burped after drinking Coca cola. Eddie Murphy
improvised Donkey's response to Shrek, She's as nasty as you are. Oh,
I want to know how much he improvised, because I
know he probably just like got in there and said
a bunch of stuff that's like paras Like. There's no
way they wrote that thing about par fays.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
Like Robin Williams is the genie. They have so many
hours of recording that they didn't end up using because.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
He just gave so much.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
We're so lucky to have a dream.
Speaker 1 (53:50):
Oh my gosh. Okay. Steven Spielberg was originally going to
produce the film and Nanti ninety one is he always
tied to these movies. Then the film would have been
in hand drawn anim and was going to start Bill
Murray as Shrek and Steve Martin as Donkey kill me.
Speaker 2 (54:04):
No, no, no, And it ends with Shrek carrying the
ten commandments like seeing them drawings, Thou shalt not kill
I see, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, covet
thy neighbors swamp, thou shalt not.
Speaker 1 (54:28):
Kay.
Speaker 2 (54:31):
I am about to address Lord farquadt about how I've
seen the film Shrek. But Donkey boots him into the
next realm with a strong hind kick, and I say,
that'll do Donky.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
Great.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
It's a movie about an ogre and a donkey, and
the donkey can talk, and the ogre is for some reason,
Scott it and it was the most important movie to
come out of the United States of America. Ah in
the twenty first century.
Speaker 1 (55:08):
Uh no, now, now we have to do another second.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Actually, this is the segment should you watch this or
in which we tell you if you should watch this
movie or if you should do something else in your swamp.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
What do you think, Leanna?
Speaker 2 (55:23):
I think, yeah, you can watch Shrek. If you want
to see another incredible Eddie Murphy performance, you could watch
dream Girls. Oh my gosh, and.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
I just forgot he was in other stuff.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
I know he's so iconique Sianna, what would you say?
Speaker 1 (55:42):
I would say, yes, you can watch Shrek. It's been
so long since I've seen it, and it was really
fun to rewatch. But if you watch it, you will
want to watch the others. Yeah, that's true. It is true.
We did not see any of those pigs or this
mice or gee, catch me more, Suah, I must see
more of straight little pig. What would you rate the
film Shrek?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Lehanna, I've been I've been waffling over this the whole
episode because I want to give it a four four
frog balloons out of five, but the grossness is something
that would dock it a point, and killing Mama Bear
is also something that would doc So I think I'm
(56:24):
going to give it a three. Maybe I'll give it
a three point five frog balloons out of five out
of out of deference to the fact that its shaped.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
Degeneration is so important for some anxiety disorder in depression.
Speaker 2 (56:45):
Yeah, oh and oh one more? Should you watch this
or I don't? I think we have less depression than
we would have because of Shrek.
Speaker 1 (56:54):
Grim one more?
Speaker 2 (56:56):
Should you watch this or is you should also watch
the TikTok trend from twenty twenty two of a Shrek
absolutely snatched waist in a leather body suit, giant coming
over the horizon, bigger than any building, and dancing to
the song.
Speaker 1 (57:15):
Material worl I wish I had boots. But see, I
know what would you rate the film? There's so many images?
Can you pasants? Can't imagine the.
Speaker 2 (57:28):
Number of images that TikTok trend would kill a Middle
Ages present for sure, before the river got them, they
would that's what they'd be watching when they're when they're
heavy clothes filled with water and dragged them, pulled them
under material.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
I would give this movie. I I have so much
affection for it. I'm gonna give it. And also all
the things that are coming off of it are the
like weird insane atrocities stuff. Yeah m hm, it's really
uncomfortable and all the like, yeah, the things we talked about.
(58:13):
I'm gonna give it four point five bubbling rock eggs
out of out of five. Oh my gosh, that's such
a visceral image for me.
Speaker 4 (58:24):
Yeah yeah, oh.
