Tommy Boy (1995) - Film Feast

Food is a character in Tommy Boy, my friend Sam Famolaro and I discuss and analyze the movie through the lens of food. The movie starts out with a young Chris Farley dropping his lunch box to stop a dog that was chasing him. The M&M scene, ketchup popsicle, Tommy want wingy, and countless other food related scenes are in this movie.

What’s the best road trip snack? Best movie theater snack? Which character in Tommy Boy would you want to go to bottomless brunch with?

Rob Lowe is introduced getting off a bus, drinking milk from a carton, then punching the glass where a kid’s face is then he throws the milk carton in a baby's face. Tommy eats fries in the car and grossly squirts ketchup into his mouth. Sam says fries are definitely hard, I’ve eaten nachos and a gyro while driving.

Utica food staples. Moon Pie cookies, Utica greens, and chicken riggies.
