In this week's episode Dave & Jess watch Flamin' Hot, which is available on Hulu. They pair this movie with a Pickman's Modelo drink for a spicy matchup. Is this flick a welcome punch up of the rags-to-riches trope? Or is it an unpalatable take on a tried and true formula?
The couple also provides their favorite Flamin' Hot brand snacks, and discuss how the movie's theme of a minority child encountering racism reflected their own childhood experiences. Other topics discussed include the writer's Netflix TV show Gentefied, and the controversy surrounding Richard Montanez and his claim to have created the Flamin' Hot brand. David also says why he hates standard rags-to-riches movies that stem from the Horatio Algers storytelling model, and the couple discuss why Disneyland's Genie+ is worth every penny even though it's price gouging.
