This week on Film & Whiskey, hosts Bob and Brad dive into the swampy world of "Shrek" (2001), the film that redefined animated movies and gave us a new kind of fairy tale. Joining them is a barrel of bourbon with its own story, Calumet Farms Whirlaway. Together, they peel back the layers of Shrek's world and taste the complexities of a premium bourbon that's just as layered.
In this episode, we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the swamp that stole our hearts. "Shrek" isn't just a movie; it's a cultural phenomenon that challenged the norms of its genre with a blend of humor, heart, and a healthy dose of subversion. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz bring to life a world where fairy tales are anything but typical, accompanied by a soundtrack that's become just as iconic as the film itself. From "All-Star" by Smash Mouth to "I'm a Believer," Shrek's musical landscape is a trip down memory lane we're all too eager to take.
But that's not all. As we wander through Shrek's swamp, we're also indulging in a sip of history with Calumet Farms Whirlaway Bourbon. This premium bourbon brings together the rich tradition of Kentucky whiskey-making with a unique twist, much like how "Shrek" blended traditional fairy tales with modern-day sensibilities. With tasting notes that promise a journey as complex and rewarding as the film's storyline, Calumet Farms Whirlaway proves to be the perfect companion for today's cinematic exploration.
So, whether you're a longtime fan of "Shrek," a bourbon aficionado, or just someone who enjoys a good story well told, this episode is for you.

We explore what makes this show a landmark in Christian media and how it's changing the conversation around faith in popular culture.
