In this episode we're diving into the quirky, offbeat world of Napoleon Dynamite – but with a twist: we’re stoned!

We’ll explore how being baked brings out the film’s hidden gems — the awkward silences are funnier, the dance scene is more epic, and every tater tot becomes a masterpiece. Join us as we break down the characters, scenes, and all the random hilarity that makes Napoleon Dynamite an absolute trip to watch when you’re elevated.
