Hunt for the wilder people, directed by the man himself, Taika Waititi (WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS), is a real side-splitting film.

Together the endure many hardships, such as; Loss, Hallucinations, starvation, and of-course, dirty sneakers.

Or as some might say, “..imparting his knowledge on the bro.” Hector even, rages when the rangers tell Ricky to shut up. This show us that even though, Hector, complains about not wanting Ricky, deep down, he loves
