"Dang… it’s like someone recorded all their teenage rage in a garage after getting dumped during tetherball. It’s raw, it’s awkward, it’s got, like, mad bass—freakin’ sweet. That one song made my llama start pacing and my Uncle Rico cry. I give it an 8.6 outta 10, easy." - Napoleon Dynamite Preston, Idaho high school student

Logan’s Run
1976
It all seemed like a utopian society where no one grows old because they murder you at thirty. This brave new world is filled with all the futuristic amenities for people who live in a big plastic dome filled with shopping malls, holograms, and jump suits so tight it feels like a flash mob pilates class might break out any minute. But isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When the citizens of the dome city mall reach their thirtieth birthday - it’s no party. They’re sent to a ceremony called “Carousel” which promises “renewal” but mostly involves getting zapped to dust while floating. Logan 5 (Michael York) is a professional Sandman who is tasked with hunting down those who don’t attend their birthday party to be exploded. When he meets a woman (Jenny Agutter) who’s dressed like she works at a 70s themed disco yogurt bar he starts asking questions like “What if being thirty isn’t a death sentence?” and “Why is everyone dressed like this?” And decides to escape the city. Outside the city he discovers a whole new world called “outside.” A place that has dirt, no food courts and an old man with cats on his head that he didn’t think could exist. Will Logan see his thirty-first birthday and bring the outside in? Or bring glamping back in the year 2274?

This chili doesn’t skimp on the meat either and doesn’t rely on hard shelled peppercorns. No need to go out on the highway to find your meat, for those who need to feed a hungry family using store bought ingredients like rotisserie chicken, left over rice and caned beans - you can cut your cook time down without loosing that fresh flavor.
