Netflix went all in for this year's April Fools' Day. Motivated by the mantra "Everybody loves bacon," Netflix introduced two new food-themed Netflix Originals Tuesday.
First up is Sizzling Bacon, a 20-minute film that Netflix categorizes as "steamy." Created by Jon Hamm, Netflix promises a "Momento-style puzzle that takes the viewer out of the fire and into the frying pan." In reality, it's just one shot of bacon being cooked in reverse. Delicious.
Next is Rotisserie Chicken, which, with a whopping 70-minute runtime, might be the longest movie ever dedicated to a rotating piece of meat.
Netflix says it is "In the tradition of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is hard to disagree with, since, like Sizzling Bacon, it shows the meat being cooked in reverse." Netflix also settles the age-old chicken-egg question, as Rotisserie Chicken was created by "The Egg."
The critical acclaim has already poured out all over the place, from both Twitter and Netflix's reviews section.
Netflix have released a 20 minute original of bacon sizzling in a pan and I think it's the most erotic thing I've ever watched...— bee (@vivatramp) April 1, 2014
These films are Oscar bait for sure. They're only available to watch until tomorrow, so you better hurry if you want to watch food cook that you'll never actually eat.
