Reel Legends is a fun, cheeky movie podcast where we revisit iconic films and ask the big question: does this movie still work for us today? We break each film down exploring whose story it really is, what the protagonist wants vs what they need, whether the movie makes us care, and what still hits (or totally falls apart) Along the way, we inevitably bump into questions of morality, culture, and modern relevance — but always with humor, curiosity, and zero pretentious film-school energy.

In small-town Preston, Idaho, awkward teen Napoleon Dynamite has trouble fitting in. After his grandmother is injured in an accident, his life is made even worse when his strangely nostalgic uncle, Rico, shows up to keep an eye on him. With no safe haven at home or at school, Napoleon befriends the new kid, Pedro, a morose Hispanic boy who speaks little English. Together the two launch a campaign to run for class president.
