Disney has released a brand new clip from the upcoming Searchlight Pictures’ film, “Flamin’ Hot”, which is the inspiring true story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia), who, as a Frito-Lay janitor, disrupted the food industry by channelling his Mexican-American heritage to turn Flamin’ Hot Cheetos from a snack into an iconic global pop culture phenomenon.
