Catch us LIVE with the Havana Club on November 10th, 7pm at The Second City in BK: https://www.secondcity.com/shows/new-york/havana-club-nyc This week the papis dive into the 2006 Jack Black cult classic Nacho Libre — a movie that's equal parts ridiculous, heartfelt, and deeply quotable. Based on the true story of a Mexican priest who secretly became a luchador to raise money for an orphanage, this film blends faith, comedy, and pure chaos in only the way Jack Black can deliver.
The Papis break down how director Jared Hess (of Napoleon Dynamite fame) turned this real-life underdog tale into a spiritual slapstick masterpiece, full of stretchy pants, forbidden wrestling dreams, and surprising tenderness. They debate its cultural impact in Latino households, drop fun behind-the-scenes facts, and give out Papi Points for the most divine moments in the ring.
