Join them for a deep dive into some of the movies we all hold near dear to our hearts — and debate whether or not they really belong there.

In this episode, we make all of your wildest dreams come true with the 2004 indie cult comedy NAPOLEON DYNAMITE
After Pops defends seeing it NINE times in movie theatres (4:52), we begin the case for keeping it on the pedestal with a discussion about comedy auteurs and if Jared Hess is truly one of them (16:15). We talk about why Kip rules (22:37), Pops posits that there’s a lot more plot going on than meets the eye (30:40), and Shane votes for Pedro as his favorite character (35:08). We move on to the case for knocking it off the pedestal with all the hacky impressions it spawned (48:55), we examine why “Rex Kwan Do” feels like it belongs in an entirely different movie (55:19), and then talk about the creepy turn the film took with Uncle Rico (1:06:18).
