    Mary Anne ButlerAsch RuizBy and 1 Min Read

    We’re still not sure how we feel about a Flamin’ Hot Cheetos movie, but here we are. The Searchlight Pictures film actually had pretty positive reviews from early festival audiences. This is the story of Richard Montañez, a real life Frito-Lay janitor who invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

    Montañez (Jesse Garcia) must convince PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico (Tony Shalhoub) why his invention, his take on the iconic orange crunchy snack staple, was worth investing in. Eva Longoria not only produces, but directs, from a script by Lewis Colick and Linda Yvette Chávez.

    The film also stars Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, Emilio Rivera, Matt Walsh, Pepe Serna, Bobby Soto, Jimmy Gonzales, Brice Gonzalez, Vanessa Martinez, Fabian Alomar, Mario Ponce, and Hunter Jones.

    “Flamin’ Hot” hits Hulu and Disney+ on June 9th 2023.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
