There's no denying that it's a great time for all the foodie film lovers out there, whether they're feasting on CHEF'S TABLE, PARTS UNKNOWN, or RATATOUILLE . But what is it that makes food such a compelling subject both in movies and on the small screen? To find out Rob and Geoff head out for a bite with renowned chef, and host of Viceland's DEAD SET ON LIFE, Matty Matheson. Matty explains why he thinks food is the best introduction to any culture (2:45), how Instagram has fuelled the food craze (10:00), and why he thinks that BURNT is a criminally underrated work of cinema(16:30). He also talks about why the subject of food lends itself better to documentaries than narrative films (18:25), lists his favourite restaurant scenes in film history (23:25), and details his last meal on earth (29:30).
