TA-CO Tuesday is finally here and so is a new episode of Why the Flick? This week, we're joined by Alex and Danielle from Top Model Rewind to sink our teeth into The Menu (2022). Who knew when you combine the trifecta of horror, humor, and food you get the recipe for an incredible film? We deep dive all the twists and turns in this unexpected “eat the rich” plot that had us guessing until the very end. From the menu itself to the Tyler of it all, hear us explore what the movie says about classism, cult-like followings, and the perfect French fry cut. We may not be experts in fine dining, but we do know what it's like to have to deal with "that" customer.
