“Fly on the Wall” podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade, Jerry Seinfeld said that in his directorial debut “Unfrosted” (now streaming on Netflix), he wanted Chris Rock to do a parody of the infamous Will Smith Oscars slap from the 2022 ceremony. “The other thing I wanted to do that I almost did was Chris Rock was going to be the emcee of the Bowl & Spoon Awards — and we shot that right after the Will Smith slap,” Seinfeld explained, referring to a scene in “Unfrosted.” “I was going to have somebody come up on the stage and have Chris punch ’em out as they got there.”But, Seinfeld added that so soon after the event, Rock “wasn’t up to perform.” Following the infamous moment when Smith slapped Rock at the live broadcast, Rock laid low from the limelight for a while, and Smith was banned from the Oscars for 10 years.

Todd Gilchrist editor Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day. It’s also long been a fixture of Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy — from “The Tonight Show” routines about Cookie Crisp to the Honeycomb and Raisin Bran boxes lining the shelves of his cupboards on “Seinfeld.” His directorial debut, “Unfrosted,” brings the obsession full circle, chronicling the 1960s origins of Kellogg’s Pop-Tart.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Unfrosted,” the first movie directed by Jerry Seinfeld (who also stars in it), is an agreeably flaked-out piece of surrealist vaudeville. It’s a comedy about the creation of the Pop-Tart, back in 1963. That makes it sound like part of the new wave of mass-market product biopics — movies like “Flamin’ Hot” (about the creation of Spicy Cheetos), “Blackberry” (about the invention of the smart phone), and the one I think of as the “Citizen Kane” of the genre, “The Founder,” with Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc, the man who changed the world by taking over and franchising McDonald’s.

For years various producers have pitched doing something like a zany It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, only populated by an epic cast of contemporary comedy stars just like that Stanley Kramer supercomedy did during its time in 1963. So it is probably not a coincidence that Jerry Seinfeld selected that very year in which to set his live action filmmaking debut, Unfrosted, as a quadruple threat of star, director, co-writer, producer.
