Download PrizePicks today at https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/RE... & use code REJECTS to get $50 instantly when you play $5! Join Aaron Alexander and Andrew Gordon as they step into the quirky world of the 2006 off-beat lucha libre comedy, Nacho Libre. Directed by Jared Hess and co-written by Jared & Jerusha Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Gentleman Broncos) alongside Mike White (School of Rock, The White Lotus), this offbeat film follows Jack Black as Ignacio "Nacho"—a lovable, fun-loving monk who secretly moonlights as a masked luchador to raise funds for his orphanage. Jack Black (celebrated for his iconic roles in School of Rock, Tropic Thunder, and Kung Fu Panda) delivers an unforgettable performance as Nacho, blending heartfelt determination with irreverent humor. Héctor Jiménez shines as Esqueleto, Nacho’s trusty sidekick who adds a perfect mix of wit and charm to every scene, while Ana de la Reguera (known for Elite Squad and Narcos: Mexico) lights up the screen as Sister Encarnación, bringing sass and warmth to the monastery’s world. Aaron & Andrew break down every memorable moment—from the hilarious training montages and the raucous wrestling matches that have become cult classics, to the tender scenes that reveal Nacho’s true passion for music, family, and rock 'n roll. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering this gem for the first time, join us for an in-depth reaction and review that celebrates the heart, humor, and high-flying antics of Nacho Libre!
