Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People (2024)
I was hooked!
I recently subscribed to hulu and heard about this on radio. I thought it was a cooking show though!
I was pleasantly surprised. It was such an unusual series for me. I had no knowledge of spicy Peppers and had no idea it was such a 'thing'!
I ended up feeling like I wanted to get to know the characters who had me and my teenager son glued to the screen.
I actually wanna grow some Peppers this year and if I ever get a chance I'm thinking about trying a contest hehe
I recommend this as easy, fun viewing that feels oddly familiar and comforting even if you are not a 'Pepper Person'. There are no spoilers here, but you MUST watch the boxing match part!
Recommended!
We Are the Champions (2020)
Meh.
I was so excited about the chili eating episode because I love watching contests online. I realized straight away that this contest I had already seen so there was no excitement about who was gonna win. Although I know about Atomik Menace before and most people would guess him to win, especially because the only person to ever beat him was not included, another Chili Queen from Europe.
The main problem I had was the way the chili eaters are belittled. Even people reviewing the show laugh at the people, in a patronizing way. Chili eaters are not stupid, they are BRAVE and enjoy challenging themselves!
I think this episode was a complete missed opportunity. There are fun parts, but I laughed AT and not WITH. The laughs are not intended. Like Ed Currie mocking British teeth. Lol, did he check his own teeth lol.
Overall I think this is a huge opportunity missed and as a spectator of the chili eating sport hopefully this does not put people off and dent any respect those brave people deserve.
Sorry, this is focused only on episode 2. Just because I had an interest in that subject. I did watch the cheese rolling and it had a similar vibe insinuating the competitors are just stupid etc. Shame.
