At the end when Chef makes Erin her cheeseburger, he's finally wanting to cook for someone but also...Erin is enjoying giving her services. She's a sex worker, yeah, but that also comes with paying for _experience_ and I think she genuinely wants a cheeseburger/IS hungry but there's a performative element to it too. She's giving him a roleplay kind of thing; challenging him, cutting him down, making eye contact whole doing it, too. She's being something he desperately wants because that's what SHE is good at, so there's a symbiotic back-and-forth between them which is what makes that scene so electric hahahaha; it's flirtatious, creepy, intense, and cathartic. And another element to it is her utilizing her survival skills as a sex worker, too. She knows how to deal with a dangerous, unpredictable client.

Tyler was so despicable that he wasn’t even allowed to die with the customers or staff he was denied presence and to be part of the chef’s “Menu”

The customers except for Margo, broke his spirit, the critic is the reason his first restaurant shut down, the tech guys go to many high end restaurants like his and are also faking transactions, the older couple have visited the restaurant and barely gave any thought to what was cooked, Tyler's a kissass and John's movie wasted his time. Some of the reasons he's torturing them are petty, but he had enough.

This whole movie is amazing, but “These are tortillas” is one of the greatest movie moments of all time and you can not convince me otherwise ❤

One thing that I just noticed is that although they were all startled by Jeremy dying, they got over it pretty quickly. When Doug the investor was killed though, they got much more emotional, because he was one of them

John Leguizamo’s character being a part of this, I think has a slightly deeper meaning. An aging artist beginning to do his work with no passion, only coming to set for a paycheck and not doing what he loves for the love. That is what I think bothered Chef.

I think that Tyler and the chef view cooking in completely opposite ways. The chef sees it as an artform. You have to get your hands dirty and work in a kitchen. It’s about what you do more than what you know. For Tyler, his knowledge of cooking is a dick measuring contest. He wants to feel like he’s smarter and better than everyone. But he’s never actually worked for it. The chef humiliates him because he’s just a rich kid with a lot of time on his hands who thinks he’s better than everyone.

The giving a little bite to the last person who was caught absolutely killed me

The older couple was already in the restaurant ahead of everyone else, since they have been in the island/restaurant 11 times, as stated later in the movie. Also, Elsa said earlier in the movie when they arrived that they no longer have to participate in the tour. And Ralph Fiennes' firts name is pronounced as "Rayf".

The only thriller horror movie where I rooted for the killer(s).

Fun fact: Hong Chau's role originally was described as a "stern Scandinavian woman".

I jumped quite a few times in the theater when he would clap. Elsa was my favorite character. I don't know how any of those chefs kept straight faces because my ass would have just bust out laughing. Yes Chef! We love you Chef!

She used proper etiquette to leave and left him no choice, she also gave him his last true moment of joy cooking and she wasn't one of the rich assholes anyway

John Leguizamo slowly growing into his 'dies-in-every-movie' phase is something I didn't know I'd enjoy from anyone besides Sean Bean. Absolutely loved this movie and the underlying themes. Definitely clicks more with a second viewing.

He was pushed by the people who he gave food to to see the world in terms of ‘waters’ and ‘servers’. Margot reminded him that there are just good customers.

Love that you did this! I don't think Hong Chau's getting enough comments as Elsa. I loved her in Downsizing and can't wait to see The Whale, she gives her all to every role. Hope she does some more mainstream projects in the future.

Midsummer with Chef Ramsay as a literal cult leader. I think he calls someone a donkey at some point 😆 Seriously we need to get Gordon Ramsay to react to this🤣 Also I want a burger 🍔

Just a cheeseburger and fries for me, thanks. I was quite entertained by this movie. Wanted to see you guys watch this. You guys are the best. “There are NO substitutions!”

I just noticed how when chef Slowik tells Erin to get the barrel from his house, he says "there's only one more savoury course left in our menu, that means we have to prepare for dessert". The only dish served before the s'more is the cheeseburger. He knew Erin would ask for it. But for how long he knew, I'm not sure.

I also want to add because comments+likes=algorithm Margo didn't get tortillas because they didn't know she was going to be there and Tyler was the only one of the pair breaking their rules

Thanks for doing an entertaining reaction to The MENU!! It was easily my top ten movie of 2022, I watched it three times in my local art house theater in Seoul, South Korea. In my first watch, I wasn't the biggest fan of the end with the dessert, but after doing a second and third watch, I actually thought it was an appropriate ending to a wonderful movie. I noticed from your reaction that you guys had little knowledge about the premise of the movie which is the best way to watch this movie. I also gave it a 4.5 star rating. Plus the dark comedy in this movie was top notch. The acting from Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicolas Hoult were outstanding!! I really enjoy watching your BRIDGECO KZfaq Channel...

I feel like, in the simplest of terms, this film is about why critics suck lol Not just food critics, all critics. They take the fun out of everything. They look at the experience from an analytical perspective from beginning to end, and even when they "enjoy" the experience, they aren't experiencing the experience so to speak. Even the critics who have mostly positive things to say suck. I was actually just thinking about this the other day, after reading a review of a film. The majority of the review was positive, and in the second to last paragraph they brought up something they saw as negative about the film. The thing they brought up however, personally, I think was objectively wrong, and I say that because what they brought up was something that you would NEVER notice or think about if you were totally engrained in the experience. You would only ever think about it if you refused to let yourself suspend disbelief, if you refused to let the notion that you are watching a film fade away. From beginning to end, a film critic enters and views a film through strict intellectual and analytical eyes. Films, and television, even food; these are things you are not meant to "think" about, at least during the experience. They are meant to be felt. Critics do too much thinking, not enough feeling. If you stop feeling, it taints the very purpose of the experience itself. It reduces the experience to language and words, concepts, descriptions. The experience is supposed to be a moment that transcends all those things. When you really feel something deeply, there are no words that can grasp it's true impact. I also just think it's completely and totally fucking absurd, that we live in a society where being a critic is something you get paid for 🤣 I think it's the most pretentious profession imaginable.

Saw this in the movies, and I was thoroughly entertained lol, glad to see u guys review this ❤

Not y'all hitting 'White People Taco Night' by Keith, I dieddd

I’m happy y’all viewed this😭❤️

At a certain point every reason for killing is kinda petty but all that really needs to make sense to the person doing the killing and Chef has gotten tot he point where all the people in the room have just killed his joy of what used to make him happy even Tyler that guy who watches every cooking show on tv but knows nothing about what it really takes to be the best.

Great reaction! You guys were the first that l saw who were annoyed by Tyler and how desperate he was. You guys are quickly becoming a channel l look for daily. Awesome job!!

Watching you react to this, I caught all the foreshadowing in the dialogue in the beginning that I wouldn’t have noticed on my first watch. I loved this movie! To me, it was a dark comedy. I’m glad they went that route instead of straight horror.

It's Gorden Ramsay meets lord Voldemort but when Margo orders that cheese burger his whole demeanor he enjoyed cooking most likely for the first time in meany years.

Gaaaahhhh!!! Just recently discovered your channel and it’s amazing!!!

i loved this movie!! it was so unique and not what i expected, im also suprised at how it played out i really thought it was just a movie about food lol

I did not expect to love this film as much as I did in was drunk when I watched it in the cinema but I loved definitely watching this every year

I was waiting for you guys to review this since this was available in Disney plus.

the ending seems to say that "real" food is life. This is a victory bite while watching the Bourgeois go to waste

Another great twisted satire on the rich is SOCIETY from 1989. I think it's still on Shudder and it's honestly one of my favorite horror movies.

Cute little behind the scenes detail: Typically in movies when you see them eating, they spit it out once the cameras stop rolling, or they only take small bites. Nathan Foad actually IS eating everything, to keep in character!

Hey Cody I'm a chef too still working in kitchens full time you're not missing much same crap as always 😂😂 gotta say this movie just gave me ptsd of having to add elements to plates with tweezers 😂

i have a lot of fine dining experience and this became my favorite horror movie because it’s so spot on. i fully understand Chef and i don’t see him as psycho or crazy at all. not only that, but the ending dessert was inspired by a restaurant i literally used to work next door to called Alinea. the dining experience in this movie is similar to that restaurant.

This movie was surprisingly good and creepy. The chef, aka Julian Slowik, is a great villain with mental problems and great manipulating techniques that can simply get into. I get what he's coming from, like he hates people who have bad egos or are very abusive to their lives just like his father. He is very similar to the Beast in Split because he let go of Margot because she suffered enough from his maniacal ideas and unworthy fancy menus that Slowik have been not liking from his past life, and the actress also played a character in Split who has suffered or let go by the anatogonist I was surprised by the let go scene, like the secret truth to defeat him is his happiness or passion. He just wants to do something that he likes the most or something meaningful for him to make him happy, but others pressured him to do something fancy or not to have so much passion or happiness on things he likes. My favorite part was the Tyler scene because Slowik whispered something to Tyler and maybe told him that he made a big mistake to bring Margot and saw the toxicness of him and how annoying he is because he just saw a version of his father. Did you see a little smile from him because Margot says make a cheeseburger.

Do not watch. View.

I really enjoyed this movie! Then I watched it with my godson, who is an actual sou chef! He gave so much insight into this! He could relate to what these people are like as guests, and the desire to strangle them sometimes. A great movie, with great performances, an actual restaurant action. (Without the the crazy, killing. )

Super fun movie, and for me at least, way more funny than I was anticipating

I love that they had an actual chef there to help design and photograph the courses. 3 Star Michelin chef Dominique Crenn.

Call are some of my new fav ppl after this one video I’ve seen. I love reactions and y’all remind me of my me and my husband. Gonna go binge some more vids.

While watching your reaction I realized the sound of the chefs clap reminds me of a whip being cracked. Didn't notice it before

A grown man distracted by the word _fuck_ is the reason my cinemas have been reduced to comic book stores.

Not the white people taco night singing! I legit snorted my spicy curry from laughing so hard. 🤣🤣

Loooved this reaction ♥

I watched this last night on whim, knowing nothing at all about it. So glad I did.

I think it's a very clever move to have the cheeseburger look like the absolute best and most delicious cheeseburger to have ever been made - leaving us, the audience, ever dissatisfied with cheeseburgers we order as they will never live up to this one perfect-looking burger

Oysters and lemon mignonette - Common flavors put together that have to be broken down and deconstructed, foreshadowing what happens to the guests. This is meant to be taken as Chef throwing down the gauntlet. Amuse Bouche - More foreshadowing. Charred lace - crater. Milk snow - ash from the fire. Cucumber and melon - the guests. The Island - Scallop on a rock - Chef presenting himself to the guests. Plants - "in the weeds" Breadless bread plate - straight up snarking at picky customers. But you can also make a case for Lilian's plate having a broken emulsion on purpose as his way of saying SHE'S as useless as a broken emulsion. Memory - Self explanatory The Mess - Pressurized vegetables - literal pun. Bone marrow - blood. Beef jus - sweat. Potato confit - tears. As a whole, it's essentially a dead body with blood pouring out. It even has a hole for the bullet. Man's Folly - Plum vinegar exists because of Umeboshi, whey plays a vital part in making yogurt, sea kelp and lettuce are what keeps the oceans biome from wreaking havoc. But everyone either doesn't know that or forgets, because they don't taste good, aren't as attractive, or can be very difficult to work with in their natural form. It's the same with women, especially when they try to speak out against unfair treatment like what the chef describes. They get called things like "bottom feeders", like crabs. Final scene with Margot/Erin eating the cheeseburger - She didn't care about giving him peace of mind. She just wanted to survive. And Chef acknowledged that. Using his menu as a napkin - She never believed anything he said for one second. She is, in fact, a taker that knows her worth. And that's why she lived.

26:15 dunno if any other comments mentioned it but i heard there was a deleted scene where it was mentioned the critic woman actually found Slovik working as a cook in a cheap food truck and demanded an interview. So, for a time he actually did try going off the grid and returning to his roots as a humble chef only to get sucked back into this culture.

Tyler threw a wrench into Chef Slowik's 'perfect menu' by bringing a substitute guest with him to Hawthorne, despite the fact that THERE ARE NO SUBSTITUTIONS AT HAWTHORNE.

I have been watching your Interview with the Vampire reactions like crazy so I guess it’s time to watch your other reactions. Lol. Also, your wife is friggin gorgeous!!

This movie is actually kind of hilarious to me. I got my Chef's certification last year, and some of Slowik's monologues track, honestly.

the older lady, Anne, was Angela on Who's the Boss, like 40 years ago

40:18 oops lol

🎵 White people taco night! 🎵

8:13 sub'd --- You nailed it. foreshadowinggggg lols

Starting watching from your Bo burnham reactions. You guys are funny.

In another part of the original script, it mentions a) Chef was found running a taco truck outside a Food Expo, and it was "the happiest he'd ever been", and Lillian ruined that with the interview that made Hawthorne into a reality. b) Margot calling him out on the fact that he parked his taco truck outside the Food Expo KNOWING Food critics were going to be there.

I loved this movie so much! I definitely think they served Margot the 153rd day beef though.

Anna Taylor-Joy actually attacks Nicholas Hoult when he admits the truth to Ralph Fiennes, so his reaction is genuine.

15:15 I was dying 😂😂😂

"We'll just hit up Taco Bell later." I love me some Taco Bell! Great reactions! ❤

My wife went with some friends a few weeks ago to a fancy restaurant dinner with a surprise fixed menu, and the last course was a cheeseburger to go.

If you liked this you will really enjoy "Everything Everywhere All at Once"

This movie was amazing I loved it Anya Taylor Joy is stunning and sooo good she be acting her ass off ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍scream queen in the making 😍🤞🏽😊

when she says burned out was that a freakn foreshadowing? lol

I saw it in theaters and I really enjoyed it!!

I don't think the actor was killed just because he was in a crappy movie, just like how I don't think his assistant was killed just because she didn't need student loans. I think the whole guestlist was picked because of their wealth, but more specifically, the way that they want to be seen as bigshots going to some famous chef's restaurant, but it's all a show. They don't know the first thing about the food they eat, they under appreciate it and to them, it's just a way of showing off. The businessmen are treating it like a boys night out, not a fine dining experience. And one of them brags about his chef being better showing he doesn't know how to differentiate between two chef's work, he may as well be eating from a cheap restaurant. The actor claims to know the chef and he wants to do a cooking show despite the fact he is not a chef and his image as a chefs friend is a fake. The older couple is most clearly spelt out. For them, they come regularly but never appreciate it, not even remembering the meals they eat. And the critics are just critics, the worst thing to happen to any artform. They all are here for the wrong reasons wanting something other than to just enjoy the food. They chase fame, prestige and money. The only two who aren't like that are Tyler and not Margot. Tyler however wants all the answers, and wants to know how it's all done, thus exposing the chefs trade secrets, taking the mystery out of the art. And not Margot is the only one who gets it. That food should be enjoyed, it's not a path to fame or glory. It's not about making the craziest dish, it's not about being the most expensive or having the most lavish ingredients. And she exposes chef for also being a part of the problem. Because he craves being the best and being the more original. And it is that which makes him unhappy. Because he was at his happiest making good honest food, which people enjoy and people want more of, even if they cannot physically finish it. It is a greater honour for a customer to say can I have the rest to go, than for them to eat every crumb on their plate and leave unsatisfied. So I think it was a mistake them not making the motivation for killing the actor be his lies about knowing the chef. I think they said it was the bad movie for a laugh. But deep down, I think all of them are guilty of the same crime of making him fall out of love with his craft and for using him and his food to self inflate their egos and their power.

This movie was such a treat... I loved it.

Another layer to Tyler's betrayal: He sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. That's another reason why he spent all night kissing his ass.

Hell yeah Love the NF shirt!!! Mental health is important and REAL!

he explains that they probably couldve gotten away if they truly wanted to but they all had a sense of guilt and acceptance about it and they feel a level of guilt that the convince themselves they deserve it. so they dont even make a real effort

Damn you for showing that Tostino's. After work, 4am randomly bought one from 7 Eleven, made it... and the proceeded to drop it on the ground cheese first straight out of the oven. 😢

lol white people taco night i lost it

I genuinly can't tell if the reactors got the class commentary of this movie, which is a weird thing to say as the biggest criticism of this movie I've seen is how blatant they make it.

End shot reminds me of the saw franchise. *“Most people are ungrateful to be alive….but not you….not anymore!”*

John Leguizamo's date was the most innocent of all. This movie was WILD

I know would like to get a tshirt that just says "WHITE PEOPLE TACO NIGHT" and in lower letters like a subtitle "Mom and Dad are fighting"

it's wild watching such sheltered people who are only capable of seeing the world in black and white (spoilers, it's not black and white) react to films like this, that have deeper meaning and ideology behind them, missing everything that the film actually is in the process

Voldemort had quite the career change lol

I think Bridgette is traumatised by the way she’s reacting through the video 😂

my 2nd favorite movie of 2022. its fucking great

12:44 😂😂 hell yeah, with a baja blast

I love The Pest too!..I actually have the VHS lol

So in the script, it just called for Margot to sit there and cry upon finding out Tyler brought her there knowing she was going to die. Anya herself said no, and that's how we got her just straight up losing her shit on him. Here's the full quote: "I have a thing about feminine rage. Which people think for some reason and this is no disrespect to any writer - I get a lot of, like, 'men doing really terrible things' and women sitting silently while one tear slowly falls. And I'm like, "Oh no no no no no. We get mad, and angry."

I wish Margo looked at her tortilla and went "I... have no idea what this is"

really enjoyed this movie! wasn't what i was expecting but loved it nonetheless:)

The moment the guy said he used to be a chef, I knew I was in for a good time.

Everyone I've shown this movie to says the same thing. "What is happening?"

She didn't murder her; she was being attacked and didn't even deliberately put the knife in; it was an accident.

CHEF SLOWIK = GORDON RAMSAY DR. SUNSHIN = DR. HOUSE

it's the emoji for me 😌

Yeah the chef's main motive for killing these people is basically a big 🖕 to the elite and in Tyler's case being a kissass

love this movie so much lol

Great Reaction To This Great Movie, Guy's

I don't know if I should be scared of voldemort or this guy

ngl i would love if u did a scream style commentary to this movie but with ur expertise as a chef lmaoo. 😭
