    Ayo Edebiri doesn't play a chef in this movie, but she definitely cooks. Going into this one blind made it more palatable that it probably would've been if I had seen any trailers.

    'Alright guys, we got our hands on a pretty not bad story from that guy who never finished Game of Thrones and a pretty sizeable budget. I've also hired my buddy who just graduated from film school to shoot it all.

    We'll give them a bunch of close-up shots and then hit them with some wild angle shots, then…
