RATATOUILLE — Brad Bird cooks up the ultimate food film

The animated classic about an adorbs rat chef… spent nearly 7 years in the oven. Director Brad Bird (THE IRON GIANT) and producer Brad Lewis (ANTZ) tell Rico the whole multi-course saga, including gut-busting tales of Michelin-starred “research” meals that were so good they hurt. Just in time for holiday eat-a-thons, the award-winning MUBI Podcast is back and celebrating its tenth season with a four-course serving of stories about food on film. Titled " A Feast For The Eyes ," the season digs into the ways filmmakers use food to provoke hunger, thought, nausea, political action...and sometimes all the above. Joining host Rico Gagliano is a sampler platter of luminaries from the film and culinary world, including directors Brad Bird (RATATOUILLE), Mira Nair (MONSOON WEDDING), and David Gelb (JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI), former New York Times food writer Alison Roman , and more. Gluttons for great cinema stories can start chowing down on episodes weekly, starting Thanksgiving Day. Let's Eat! Food and Film collection is now streaming on MUBI globally.
