NachoOOoOOoOOOoOoOOoOo! For our 24th episode we celebrate with a film that showcases not only an immensely average IMDB rating of 5.8 but a bold 40% on on Rotten Tomatoes! Was it judged too harshly? Has it aged like fine Mexican wine? Should Nacho have kissed her at the end of the movie? Does it even hold a candle to other Jack Black performances...? Only one way to know so join us as we share our initial reactions of the film, favourite moments, trivia/previous knowledge, acknowledge just how much 'classic Jack Black face' there is, the huge box office success Nacho Libre was, how it follows the 'Napolean Dynamite' playbook beat for beat, it's immense 'quotability', if sliding toast under the door is A+ game or not, the absurdity of the training montage, and debate whether there should be more controversy regarding the film's portrayal of lucha libre wrestling.
We also began our episode with a full Good Will Hunting moment as our very own Zach Dyer reveals that he has been creating his very own film! NO BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING! Hear how the inspiration occurred, the creativity spiked and the majesticness flowed as he transferred his vision to paper (A24 be ready to place, your, bid!) naturally we also engage in another round of Zach's movie trivia, discuss how Jocelyn once worked at the movie theatre (take a shot), decide what we would prefer to clean up: semen or barf, the correlation between enemas and sex, the downside of being the 'boss', Sweat Equity's resident 'Brad Pitt' Keith, Alexandre Dumas, Syd the Sloth, custom made sleevless tees, Super Saiyan 2, horror movies, why I am finally implementing the full power of Sweat Equity Fitness' billing agreement, my sister's wedding planning, how I almost got an Olaf the snowman tattoo and what the best course of action is if someone sleeps with one of your parents...
