On this episode record on zoom, I’m joined by my Southwest co-heart Mindie for a deep and hilarious dive into the 2006 cult classic Nacho Libre, starring the one and only Jack Black. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) and co-written with Mike White (School of Rock), this film blends lucha libre, heart, and holy tortillas into something unforgettable.

We watch and talk about how Nacho Libre is more than just a quirky comedy — it’s a cultural staple. For many Mexican-Americans, Nacho Libre hits like Black Panther or Crazy Rich Asians: it's our movie, full of inside jokes, sacred food, magical eagle powers, and big lucha energy. And yes — Jack Black is forever invited to the carne asada. Always.

From stretchy pants to Steven’s glorious hair, we stan the film’s humor, heart, and how it made a whole generation feel seen… through the eyes of a singing friar in spandex. Nachoooooooo!!!!
