02: Napoleon Dynamite

Come take a seat at the weird kids lunch table with Britany, Lilithe, and Ambyr as we discuss the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite. This movie had humble beginnings as a short film (Peluca, 2002) that was later adapted into a feature length one. It quickly became a cult classic, even having a festival in its honor in the small town of Preston, Idaho where the movie was filmed and takes place. Napoleon Dynamite is a very interesting take on a coming of age comedy that the three of us were really the perfect age to latch on to. So don’t be a freakin’ idiot…give us your tots as we take a look at the story, characters, background, and tell you if the movie held up over time(in our opinion).
