20 Years of Shrek: A Subversive Masterpiece

Olivia Paruk and Emily Paruk Season 2 Episode 39

Olivia and Emily celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Shrek 2 and the entire Shrek franchise. They touch on how the story of Shrek’s subversive fairytale still makes it relevant today, how the music blends pop and score for a wonderfully recognizable sound, and how the cast left legendary voice-acting performances.

Shrek was first released in June 2001 and was directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson starring Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. Shrek 2 was released in June 2004, marking its 20th year!
