Hulu Series ‘Superhot’ Shows Why Pepper People and Chili Heads Love Feeling the Burn, From Frozen Toilet Paper to Tasting the Hottest Peppers
Hulu's series 'Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People' looks at the spicy world of competitive chili heads, pepper growers and hot sauce makers.
DeGuzman is a nurse by day, but in her free time she cultivates dozens of pepper plants and works with her chili grower friend Bobby McFadden to create a new Filipino-themed sauce she calls Blazin Asian. Waseem, known on social media as UKChilliQueen, is unusual in that she doesn’t like the flavor of peppers, but she discovered she’s very good at consuming a large number of blistering pods and winning competitions. To show viewers what peppers do physically, Skope explains that the production used a pyrothechnics department and shot in a robot camera studio using macro and probe lenses to get into people’s bodies, “to see the irises, see the hair stick up,” he says.
