Jerry Seinfeld has apparently been rolling around the idea of a movie about the development of breakfast pastries for some time.
”I have considered doing a Pop-Tart movie,” Seinfeld told Howard Stern in a 2013 interview. ”…about how they discovered the Pop-Tart…in Battle Creek, Michigan.”
Eleven years later, enter the star-studded Netflix comedy called ”Unfrosted”, a liberty-taking cameo comedy starring Seinfeld and a bunch of other well-knowns, not the least of whom is Hugh Grant.
But don’t take this as Pop-Tart gospel.
We asked former Battle Creek Enquirer and Kalamazoo Gazette movie reviewer James Sanford to join us on Community Matters to chat about this imaginary Pop-Tart path.
