Episode 152
Shrek (2001) and Shrek (2003) with PokePreet and Literary Liberation podcasts
Evan teams up with hosts of the Literary Liberation podcast and PokePreet to analyze the 2001 movie 'Shrek' through political and cultural lenses. The conversation delves into the film’s political themes, including class struggle, consumerism, and libertarian values, and considers Shrek’s impact in a post-9/11 context, exploring ideas like imperialism and Jewish-coded interpretations. The discussions also cover Shrek's cultural relevance, examining its humor, appeal across generations, and the success of its soundtracks that capture early 2000s culture. The group speculates on the future of the Shrek franchise, discussing potential challenges for Shrek 5 and assessing the series' broader cultural impact.
