Flamin' Hot represents a 2023 American biographical comedy-drama film that marks Eva Longoria's first time directing a full-length movie. The screenplay was created by Linda Yvette Chávez and Lewis Colick, adapting the story from A Boy, a Burrito and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive by Richard Montañez's memoir, which asserts that A Boy, a Burrito and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive by Richard Montañez invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Leading roles are played by Jesse Garcia, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, and Tony Shalhoub.
The movie made its debut at South by Southwest on March 11, 2023. It opened in theaters on June 9, 2023 through Hulu and Disney+, earning generally favorable feedback from reviewers. At the 96th Academy Awards, Flamin' Hot was recognized with a nomination for Best Original Song for "The Fire Inside" composed by Diane Warren, though it did not win over “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie.
