Overview

Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey set off to Far, Far Away to meet Fiona's mother and father, the Queen and King. But not everyone is happily ever after, as Shrek and the King find it difficult to get along. But when the Fairy Godmother discovers that Fiona has married Shrek instead of her son Prince Charming as King Harold had promised, she plots to destroy their marriage and replace the ogre with her son Charming.

Uh, that catnip's not ours. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcaster, Ian (Everyone else is making the near 800 mile trek to Far Far Away) as he's joined by KevDog - in boots - off to visit the shops and enjoy medieval puns in Shrek 2. We're bringing flour to The Muffin Man in our 226th episode as we discuss:

  • How one of us completely missed the Northern Lights this week
  • How does the energy of Shrek 2 pivot from Shrek 1
  • There's quite a few shots at Disney (yet again) in this film
  • Ian helps Kev out with a few North American references in the film
  • Kev introduces Ian to Shrek's Karaoke party
  • Is Shrek 2 one of those rare sequels that's better than the original?
  • Whether or not Shrek 2 is the Best Film Ever
