The first is an action film calling _Sizzling Bacon,_ described as follows: “The boundaries of TV and time go up in smoke with this tasteful, “Memento”-style puzzle that takes the viewer out of the fire and into the frying pan.” The second new movie is called _Rotisserie Chicken_ and it’s a riveting 73-minute drama that features, well, a rotisserie chicken. Here’s the description of the G-rated film: “In the tradition of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” witness a searing, chronology-defying return to one’s origins that stokes the imagination.” It appears that people are actually streaming these films — and then writing reviews. The feedback is mostly positive, with viewers deeming the movies “provocative,” “powerful” and “divine.” ([h/t Business Insider](http://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-chicken-movie-april-fools-day-2014-4#!ClBkE "undefined")) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/45154/netflix-april-fools-chicken-bacon-movies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/45154/netflix-april-fools-chicken-bacon-movies/"},"headline":"You Can Now Watch Bacon Sizzling and Chicken Roasting In Two New Netflix Original Movies","datePublished":"2014-04-01T14:31:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:22.987Z","description":"The first is categorized as \"steamy\" and the second is \"mind-bending\" and \"suspenseful\"","url":"https://time.com/45154/netflix-april-fools-chicken-bacon-movies/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","movies","Chicken","Bacon","Pranks","April Fool's Day"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13954dea5db24790/6986884436176022c590b37e/170604864.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt13954dea5db24790/6986884436176022c590b37e/170604864.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bacon","caption":"Bacon","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/45154/netflix-april-fools-chicken-bacon-movies/","name":"You Can Now Watch Bacon Sizzling and Chicken Roasting In Two New Netflix Original Movies"}}]}] ```
