Eva Longoria is heading to the White House, where her new movie “Flamin’ Hot” will be screened for an audience including President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
According to a press release from Searchlight Pictures, the White House screening for the new film — which marks the “Desperate Housewives” alum’s feature directorial debut — comes after “Flamin’ Hot” set a new record for Searchlight as the studio’s most-watched streaming motion picture of all time.
“Flamin’ Hot” tells the true story of Frito Lay janitor Richard Montañez (played by Jesse Garcia), the son of a Mexican immigrant, who drew upon his heritage to come up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, revitalizing the company and disrupting the food industry in the process.

Richard Franklin has been called “The Australian Hitchcock” and 1981’s Road Games is the movie that earned him that title. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Franklin did not particularly emulate Hitchcock’s visual style. Instead, he learned how to structure a story and effectively build a sense of dread from the Master of Suspense. He also learned the importance of adding healthy doses of humor along the way to make the suspense even more effective. Though Hitchcock is Franklin’s greatest influence, there is plenty of John Ford and Howard Hawks, along with contemporaries like John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg to be found in his style. This is not to say that Franklin’s work is derivative. Every good filmmaker has influences that they synthesize into their own style. Franklin’s style is more difficult to pinpoint than, say, Scorsese or DePalma’s, but it is no less effective in its narrative capabilities.

We wouldn’t blame you if you sat down to watch Flamin’ Hot on Hulu (premiering June 9) believing it’s the true story of the man who invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. All of the marketing leading up to the film has been designed to make you think that.
