Free Kittens review of “Scarf Face”
FreeKittensMovieGuide.com has a positive review of the new competitive eating documentary “Scarf Face”:
The unexpected deaths of a few eaters notwithstanding, Scarf Face is a highly amusing documentary that cleverly subverts the self-importance displayed by its subjects. But even if one shares the opinion that gorging on dangerous amounts of food somehow qualifies as a sport, the film is a fascinating look at what makes these people tick.
The review includes a list of extras for the DVD that will go on sale June 7:
INTERVIEW THE WALT HICKEY – Hickey is a writer who often covers competitive eating events, and humorously questions the claim that Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest has really been going on for 100 years.
INTERVIEW WITH ED “COOKIE” JARVIS – A former MLE competitive eater who’s lost a ton of weight and has no love for the MLE.
OUTTAKES WITH ACTOR DAVE SWEENEY – Outside of his appearance in this film, I don’t know who he is either.
COMPETITIVE EATER DEATH SEGMENT – One which was featured in the film, one which wasn’t…a radio station water drinking contest which resulted in a woman’s death.
EXTENDED GYOZA-EATING SCENE
AUDIO COMMENTARY – By directors Joseph Ruzer & Sean Salter
TRAILER
The only competitive eating article from Walt Hickey I could find was a preview of the 2016 Nathan’s finals for 538.
