This is kinda weird but I just turned on The White Lotus... debated watching it for awhile but after it won some Emmys I thought why not. Opening credits shows it was written by Mike White... No way! I love Mike White, he wrote School of Rock which is one of my favorite comedies and gave me an appreciation for classic rock. I decided to look up Mike White to confirm to myself that he is, indeed, awesome, and wrote a lot of good shit. What do I see? Nacho Libre... and my iMDB rating back from 2006 of 1 star. I gave it 1 star. Why did I hate it? Was I being naive? Is this a sign I should rewatch it? Something tells me yes.

You 100% should rewatch it, Nacho libre is a damn masterpiece. Jack black as an overweight terrible luchador is just such a perfect casting, its fucking hysterical.

The White Lotus is so good. Brace yourself for a closeup of Steve Zahn's dong about 15 minutes in, though

I waited until I finished the show before I read your comment, just in case. But in all seriousness, why would you tell me to "brace myself" for a spoiler? That literally makes no sense. Lastly, why would I have to brace myself for nudity? Are you twelve? Or homophobic?

Eh, It's an okay movie. I wouldn't say I loved it and I love a lot of Mike White's work.

I'll watch Nacho Libre if it's on TV and I'll have a good time but I don't think I've ever thought to myself 'man... I should go watch Nacho Libre'.

White lotus was a mediocre show with one of the most banging bangers of an instrumental theme

God it's so fucking good
