Hope everyone is doing well two months into 2021, as we at Talking Simpsons Network are hard at work on lots of fun podcasts. Additionally, check out our EXCELLENT new banner image above made by the always amazing Nina Matsumoto! As we enter next month, we're not just hard at work on Talking Simpsons and What A Cartoon!, but also on our monthly $10 premium podcast, and we'll need your help to decide what we'll be covering in April.

Currently, we're so far ahead in podcast recordings that we've already recorded February's What A Cartoon Movie! (DuckTales The Movie), meaning that in March we have enough extra time to record our April 2021 movie podcast, and we can start on that as soon as you choose the subject for us!

For those of you who are new to the Talking Simpsons Patreon, WELCOME. Also, you should know that once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated feature film, exclusively for our $10+ Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting for each month's subject, we want all the $5 subscribers to also have a chance to be heard, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!

Our next 2021 poll comes at a very special time, as April 22 will mark TWENTY YEARS since the theatrical debut of Shrek! Yes, one of the most historically impactful animated movies ever is two decades old, so it feels like the perfect time for us to delve into a film we've been lightly engaging in for years now.

But we still want it to be the choice of our patrons. And so, as we've done in the past, we're leaving this up to you all as a yes or no option. If you want us to have fun reflecting on Shrek and its many dated elements, vote "YES." And if you would prefer a different poll for the April Movie, then vote "NO" and we'll do a different poll with four choices after that.

So please, make your choice known before the poll closes on the night of March 7! Thanks as always for your continued support of our podcast, we couldn't have made it to 2021 without you!

Shrek is fun, but imo Shrek 2 is a legitimately great movie

SomeBloke

Blood for the blood god, ogres for the swamp throne.

John Harrison

A lot of people liked it, and still do.

mavrick

good movie? bad move? either way, I predict an amazing episode!

SilkiePJ

After talking about him for so long, we must deal with the true id of Jeffery Katzenburg!

Alex Irish

Like they say in Brooklyn, Shrek is love, Shrek is life!

Paul

You must not shirk your shreksponsibilities

Christmas Ape

Not to jump the gun here, but if you ask the Internet "Should I Shrek?", you know exactly what answer you're going to get.

crystalhearts

I love the new banner image for wacm! Also I don't feel strongly about Shrek but I'm voting for it anyway since you're so jazzed about it and I love when people are excited about things.

Malcolm Rambert

I'm picking "NO" simply because I believe Bob & Henry are too biased to acknowledge the cultural impact this movie had on culture and an entire generation of millennials.

Zane Gregory

How do I cast my vote for the 2004 opus, Shark Tale? I see no options!!

Tricia

Hey now you’re all stars Henry and Bob!

Lockerus

Shrekades if you will.

I.C. Weiner

Let's get wrecked and get Shreked (also, for the love of God, will you guys cover BoJack already)

Robert Denby

I've got my own pet theory that part of why Shrek did so well is it was released in a weird dead zone of good animation being available in the US. Look at DVD release dates of stuff like Simpsons, Looney Tunes, Disney Treasures, etc.

Brian Silvers

My Patreon tier isn’t high enough to listen to the whole episode, but just knowing you’ve had to watch it and do a ton of research is enough for me.

is marcy still burning

Obviously you'll touch on the meme culture but I hope you give a shout out to 3GI Productions/ ShrekFest/ Shrek Retold. The dude in charge of all those is a great guy, I've been following him for years and have gotten the chance to help out at Shrek fest and on some of his other video projects

Graphite Shores

I was embarrassed watching Shrek in theaters when I was 6 years old. The constant jabs at Disney, the crude humor and mean attitude...it felt like a film version of a schoolyard bully.

Kat Heagberg

I don’t like Shrek the movie, but I like the IDEA of Shrek as a concept, so yes, and also I know you don’t usually have guests on the “What a Cartoon” movie podcasts, but my dream crossover is to have Jamie Loftus talk about Shrek with you guys, and I’d probably be willing to just hand over all of my future paychecks to this Patreon to make that happen.
