Watched Napoleon Dynamite (dir. Jared Hess, 2004)   

Points of Discussion: 

- How the film's setting is used a template for middle/rural America in other films 

- Film's lasting significance and cult following 

- Does the film have story structure or is it a collection of sketches? 

- Nostalgia of the 1980's and early 2000s
