1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Bread the flick with Benoche on ninety six am. Good morning,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: ben Good morning guys, I got a spicy one for

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: you today the UK Flame and Hot and So. People

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: who don't know the history of this particular product, so

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: Cheetos in America are like Twisties here, and the company

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: was kind of struggling in the late eighties until they

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: decided to coat one line of Cheetos in this super

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: super spicy and crazy unnaturally red dust that they called

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the Flaming Hot, Flameing Hot Spice. And so Flame and

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Hot Cheetos became a mega mega success. They put the

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: flame and Hot Spice mix on lots of other products,

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: from popcorn to do Rito's, all of the other things

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: that are owned by this company, Fredo Lay, which is

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: a subsidiary of PepsiCo, and they became kind of like

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: this pop cultural phenomenon. And now you can buy it

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: in Australia like you buy it in the supermarket. They're

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: pretty expensive because it's imported and it is extremely spicy

18
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: but also super delicious. So it's one of those things

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: that you like, you know, it's like the divinyl song,

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: you know, it's a fine line between pleasure and pain.

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: So now this movie has come out that's kind of

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: unpacking the origin story of Flame and Hot and you

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: might think, you know, it's a snack food, does that

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: really deserve an origin story feature film? But it's actually

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: quite a fascinating tale because it involved this chap Richard Montaignez,

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: who was a janitor at a Frito Lays factory. He

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: was growing up as a sort of a Mexican immigrant

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: in America. He was on the wrong side of the tracks.

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: He was probably selling drugs, a bit of a gangster.

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Has taken a job as a janitor in the factory

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, toe the straight and narrow,

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: look after his family and toiled away, you know, doing

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: a good job, working hard, keeping out of trouble. But

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: he's always dreamed of, you know, the American the American

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: dream and making more of himself. So he's come up

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: with this idea of this flame and Hot spice mix

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: and then it's all taken off. He's reached out to

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: the CEO of PepsiCo as the janitor and it's become

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: a huge success. He's risen to become an executive with

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: this multinational company. So sort of a rags to Richard's

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: underdog story. The interesting thing about it is now there's

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: actually some doubt whether Richard Montagnees actually was the guy

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: who invented Flame and Hot, and so that's fascinating in itself.

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: But this movie has been taken on by Eva Longoria,

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: who of course was a Desperate Housewife star back in

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: the day. This is our very first movie as director

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: and stars Jesse Garcia as Richard Montagnees, who is fantastic.

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: He was in NACo's Mexico. That was probably what most

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: people would recognize him from recently, and he brings that

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of irrepressible charm to the role that I think

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Richard in real life had. That's kind of how he

52
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: got to where he was. He was just a dude

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: who refused to take no for an answer and had

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: that sort of personality that people gravitated towards. And Eva

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: has done a great job of kind of capturing that.

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: She doesn't really get into some of the controversy around

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: whether or not he is the inventor of Flame and Hot.

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: They sort of touch on it very vaguely at one

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: point in the movie, But really, what you're talking about

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: here is a sort of a comedy with a little

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: bit of drama, good sort of emotional weight to the story.

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: But it's ultimately, you know, it's no Citizen Kane, like,

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: this is a movie. This is a movie about a

64
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: snack food. It's probably it's probably the movie equivalent of Cheetos.

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: It's just sort of thing that you can you can

66
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: have between meals. It's not extremely nutritious artistically speaking, but

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you're stuck on the couch on a

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: rainy winter's day, you're probably going to tuck into a

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: bag of flame and hot cheetos. Foot movie too many.

70
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: It's a comfort movie, is the equivalent of comfort snacking. Well, Ben,

71
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: how many orange thumbs up are you giving it? That's

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the thing, right, anyone who's e flaming hot nose that

73
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you get your horribly, horribly your face. Yeah, exactly, I'm

74
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: going to give it three? Okay? Three? Well, goodness best

75
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed with a bag of Cheeto's. I imagine. No, you

76
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: can't stop it, three, of course it can't. Well, I

77
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: look forward to Lord of the Burger Rings and we

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: were g
