We're at EPISODE 75! To commemorate this momentous occasion, we have invited back Austin from I Hate Your Taste in Movies to talk about not just one soundtrack, but two! Brandice, Nicole and Ryan discuss the groundbreaking soundtracks to Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 with Austin, with even a passing mention of Shrek 3. These blockbuster films made a ton of money for Dreamworks at the box office, but the soundtracks to the original Shrek and it's sequel sold a ton of copies as well and we chat about the reasons why they resonated so well with fans.

We also discuss:

How Shrek was one of the 1st if not the 1st film to license Leonard Cohen's iconic "Hallelujah"The laborious process to get Smashmouth to sign off on licensing "All Star" for the movie and how they originally did not want to cover "I'm a Believer".How Shrek 2 passed on a song from some indie-rock legends and how it kind of indirectly broke up the band (again).
