In which we talk the mystifying melodrama of Showgirls (1995), the robo-futurism of Blade Runner (1982) and the strange happenings at Hanging Rock (1975) before beginning our new quest into the depths of the swamp with a retrospective on Shrek (2001). Followed by a series of delightful listener questions!
