Director Jared Hess loves science fiction. If you wanted to talk to him for hours on end about rocket ships, space rangers and David Lynch's Dune, he would happily oblige. The dead-pan visionary behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre loves the genre so much, that he projected some 16-odd years of mechanical beasts and galactic intrigue into his quirk masterpiece, Gentlemen Broncos. "I had drawings of Battle Stags in my Trapper Keeper," Hess recalls. "That was the kind of crap that I drew when I was 14. It was fun to be able to bring those bad boys to life."
Although Hess' contagious passion of the genre informs much of his latest offering, the piece retains the same auto-biographical flavor of endearing dysfunction that distinguished his previous works. The director was happy to walk Paste through the memories that inspired him and describe the process of being a left-field comedian in a mainstream market. What follows is as charming, refreshing and rambling as any moon-walking milk tester or salad-loving luchador.
