With Idaho corndogs, we talk "Napoleon Dynamite", one of the last underdog films that grew legs with "Vote For Pedro" shirts, classic one liners as well as box office success and a DVD bounty. All the awkward geeky movies and shows owe debt to "Napoleon Dynamite" because it made bank. We talk our Top Five Perms in Film, cookie sheets putting out fires and how small towns are years behind the metro areas.

Hi Everyone, hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday! This week's guest is my Pacific Northwest buddy and star of Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder! If you haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite (I don't know how that's possible), please go out and watch it RIGHT NOW and then come back for this interview. It was so much fun to chat with Jon and hear the story behind how he created such an iconic character. We talk about where he learned to dance, how he and the director transformed the story from a student film into a massive hit and what it was like managing such an insane level of overnight fame. It's been quite awhile since that movie came out and the truth is, Jon is so much more than that character. He is a dad, he's a big outdoors guy and he's still a phenomenal actor! He is starring in the new film Waltzing With Brando, alongside Billy Zane, and we talk about his experience learning more about Marlon Brando, shooting in Tahiti and his personal policy on nudity on camera. This is exactly the conversation you'd expect from a guy like Jon— it's absurd, goofy and earnest all at the same time. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview over a bowl of tots!

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bomabay ask to use your guyses phone so they can get some chapstick and talk about the 2004 comedy gem 'Napoleon Dynamite.' Bombay remembers growing up with a kid who lied about his summer exploits like Napoleon telling classmates he killed wolverines. Then the boys strap on a pair of moon boots to discuss a flick that was a genuine cultural phenomenon. Set in Idaho in the 2000s, but steeped in '80s nostalgia the movie is the definition of specificity breeding universality. Which leads the guys to talk about their school cafeteria, and how tots not only rock, but are the perfect food fight weapon. Of course, besides the eats, they need to mention Kip being the man and pulling babes off the internet in the pay-per-minute internet era. Speaking of women, they have to mention Pedro and his family which includes a hot chola sister, and hard nosed cholo cousins that have his back. Perhaps the unsung star is Uncle Rico who maybe can't toss a pigskin over a mountain, but has the greatest on-camera steak throw of all time. The episode closes, as it should, discussing Napoleon's killer dance moves that he not only performs in moon boots, but without breaking character. So knock it off, get yourself a dang quesa-dilla, and check this one out.

A champion's interview! Fresh off making history as the first American to win TDS in Chamonix, Careth Arnold came to Hurricane, West Virginia, and added another victory to her résumé — the 2025 Hurricane Hundred K women's champion and course record holder.In this episode of the Hurricane Hundred K Runner Profile series, Careth shares her journey from France to Hurricane, West Virginia just weeks after her TDS triumph.We talk about her recovery, expectations coming in, her day on the Meeks Mountain Trails, and the support of her “adopted West Virginia crew” — Team Purge and Move On. Careth also gives us a peek at what's next on her race calendar, plus some fun West Virginia and Napoleon Dynamite trivia to close it out.Tune in for stories from the Alps to Appalachia, and a new chapter in the Hurricane Hundred K legacy.
In this episode of the Hurricane Hundred K Runner Profile Series, we sit down with Caleb Bowen for his champion's interview just days after being crowned 2025 Hurricane Hundred K Champion and setting a course record with a blistering time of 8:06:07. Caleb is the head cross country coach at Marshall University, and one of the top ultrarunners on the East Coast. Caleb shares how he came back from injury to run one of the best races of his career, his strategy for tackling the Flow course loop by loop, and the competition that pushed him along the way. We dive into what worked, where there's still “fat on the bone” to trim, and whether the Flow course is truly faster than the original HHK layout.We also talk about his remarkable résumé — from running the fastest 100-mile time in the U.S. in 2022 (12:40:22 at Canal Corridor), to winning a Golden Ticket to Western States at Grindstone 100K in 2023, to multiple victories at Highlands Sky, and winning the inaugural Rim to River 100. And of course, we lighten it up with some Napoleon Dynamite trivia and ask Caleb what he plans to splurge on with his $4,500 winnings.You'll love listening to our local stud and Hurricane native dig in and lay it all out there in this conversation.
"Sleeper Hit" is a term that is used to define a movie that comes out of nowhere to be a big hit. One of the shining examples of this 2004's Napoleon Dynamite. After crushing it on the festival circuit, this $400,000 movie went on to make over $4O million dollars at the box office, and became a cultural touchstone of the 2000's in the process. How exactly did this movie become such a big hit with so many? We talk about it.

Strap on your goggles and hoist the sails, this week on Born to Watch, the crew dives into a post-apocalyptic puddle with their Waterworld (1995) Review, Kevin Costner's legendary aquatic epic that soaked Universal Studios in ambition, cash, and controversy. Whitey, G Man, and Damo reunite to wade through the waves of cinematic history, revisiting a film as infamous for its behind-the-scenes chaos as it is for its soggy storytelling.From the jump, the team questions Waterworld's place in pop culture infamy. Once touted as the most expensive movie ever made, this maritime Mad Max-on-water starred Costner at the peak of his fame, but was it his creative apex or the beginning of his soggy descent? The guys don't pull punches, balancing deep dives into production lore with their trademark irreverent humour.Whitey sets the tone by confronting the bloated ambition of the project: “Has any Hollywood star become so famous with a catalogue with so many peaks and troughs?” Cue a wide-ranging Costner retrospective, comparing the golden days of Field of Dreams and The Untouchables to the indulgent excesses of The Postman and yes, Waterworld. The verdict? Costner might've been drinking his own Kool-Aid, filtered through a urine distillation machine, of course.G Man leads the crew through the absurd plot, where the Earth is drowned, the polar caps are melted, and dry land is a mythic memory. Costner plays the Mariner, a grim, gilled loner with webbed feet and a personality drier than the lost continent he's searching for. The podcast doesn't shy away from the film's narrative flaws: characters with no backstory, Mad Max rip-offs, and a complete lack of chemistry between the leads, most notably between Costner and Jeannie Triplehorn, affectionately known as “Jeannie Triple Blurter” by the team.Speaking of performances, Dennis Hopper's turn as the Deacon is eviscerated with delight. Compared to his electric villain in Speed just a year prior, Hopper here is an oily cartoon, piloting a rust-bucket Exxon Valdez filled with chain-smoking goons. “It's a bad Beyond Thunderdome,” declares Whitey, and the panel doesn't disagree.The gang revels in the film's infamous production disasters: hurricanes, a constantly rewritten script, Costner's massive creative control, and his falling out with director Kevin Reynolds. G Man reminds us of the legendary quote about Costner directing himself: “Now he gets to work with his favourite actor and his favourite director.” Ouch.Despite the floundering script, there are moments that the Born to Watch crew appreciates. The practical effects, like the massive floating Atoll set and Costner's tricked-out trimaran, get nods of approval, even if the action sequences are undercut by choppy editing and goofy stunts. And the team can't help but laugh at the iconic “pee filtration scene,” the rope-assisted bungee jump climax, and the infamous underwater city reveal, which defies all logic and basic physics.One of the episode's standout sections is “Question Time,” where the trio tackles the film's most baffling plot points: How does the Mariner's boat outrun jet skis? How does dry land remain uninhabited? And why, oh why, would someone spend their life searching for paradise only to leave it five minutes after finding it?The boys also pay tribute to the lesser-known cast and crew: a young Jack Black in a blink-and-miss-it role, Tina Majorino (aka the Enola of Napoleon Dynamite fame), and the brilliant yet misfiring score from James Newton Howard. “He dialled it in harder than Dennis Hopper did,” quips Damo.By the end, the Born to Watch gang reaches a consensus: Waterworld is a cinematic curiosity, too ambitious to dismiss outright, too flawed to celebrate, and just insane enough to warrant a watch.

EXPLORE with Randall and Bradley on the Bonneville Flood path: https://RandallCarlson.com/tours-and-events Last few seats remain for this one-time special itinerary from Salt Lake to Boise... Read the whole essay here: https://randallcarlson.com/teton-dam-collapse-essay Kosmographia Ep112 of The Randall Carlson Podcast, with Normal Guy Mike and GeocosmicREX admin Bradley, from 4/16/25. Cruise the maps to follow the rushing floodwaters from Lake Bonneville, covering 20,000 square miles of ancient Utah, through the narrow channels on the way to the broad Snake River Plain where the wave joined the route of the Snake River and carved a mighty variety of impressively sculpted and ravaged landscapes. Randall's monthly newsletter for April reviewed a new paper about Ice Age Floods down the Fraser River in British Columbia, and also new LiDAR imaging at Chaco Canyon showing more aligned roadways were part of their complex system of sacred geography. Then as a scale invariant modern local example, RC presents an abridged version of his extensive essay on the failure of the last monumental dam to be built in America, on the Teton River, that burst through a month before the country's bicentennial celebrations in 1976. Enhanced with recent photos and overflight videos by Bradley - you'll want to get out and see it for yourself...
