We welcome you and all fairytale creatures across the land to our 37th Score Guide! Will & Wend set off from Duloc to embark on a great and noble quest to guide their loyal listenership through the masterful score to the 2001 Academy Award-winning, DreamWorks animation, Shrek by Harry Gregson-Williams and John Powell.
Your hosts journey past French Merry Men, slime-covered toadstools and nice boulders, to discuss, analyse and gush over the themes, leitmotifs, hidden roto toms, and all their favourite musical moments in each cue, taking you, the listener, on an informative and entertaining track-by-track ride through the rare but extensive soundtrack release.
Prepare for a gushing!
