Sausage Party is an animated movie about the lives of food. Because it is animated, they get to talk! What would happen if you placed robotic cantaloupes, loafs of bread and sausages in a NYC supermarket? That is what Sony Pictures found out when they did just that and had the movie’s star, Seth Rogen, give them a voice. Let’s just say, NYers aren’t that nice when their food talks back them. So much so, forget about Lip Sync Battle and Drop the Mic, this is the segment that really needs it owns show! Could you imagine? New Yawkers and the Sausage Party. Which has a completely different meaning than when I was growing up in NYC and would go to the Manhattan to party on the weekends!
There is a trick that producers and writers do in order to get the scenes that they really want in the movie included if they know that the MPAA will ask for them to be cut out that scene in order so they can get a R rating as compared to the NC-17. They will write a bunch of a scenes that they know will never get past censors in order to guarantee that the ones that they really want will actually make the final cut. It is a negotiation tactic that has worked for them!
When Seth Rogen came up with an orgy scene for Sausage Party, they created 6 of those scenes and the MPAA approved all but one little thing. He told Howard Stern today that, “There is a pita bread and you see his ballsack in the end orgy and it had hair on it. And they asked that we remove the hair from the pita bread’s ballsack.” So they digitally waxed the pita bread because no one wants to see his chick peas covered with hummus.
Seriously, MPAA it is a animated food’s balls, who cares if it has hair or not? They need to get out more!
And talking about getting out more, I wonder what 6 things were that they thought would never make it in that did. Let’s compare notes on Monday at lunch! And make sure, whatever you are eating is served with pita bread!

Seth Rogen was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jimmy Fallon mistakenly challenged him to Lip Sync Battle. At first Rogen cheated by using The Roots for his first song, but his second one clinched the title. He not only mouthed Drake’s Hotline Bling, he let his hip sing for him too as he moved like Degrassi’s Jimmy did in the music video. The most talked about dance moves since Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Who knew Rogen could dance like that, if you call that dancing?
There have been a lot of animated movies that have come out for kids this summer, and now there is one that is just for us adults. Sausage Party has a lot of cursing and other things that are not kid friendly. But if a parent is desperate to take their kids to the movies and doesn’t do their research, then they might go see this film.
What will happen when they take their little ones to see this movie about food rebelling against the humans? There will be a lot of kids who want want to eat anything for a while and a lot of parents who will want to chew out a lot of Hollywood executives starting with Seth Rogen.
It is July 4th in America, and how do we celebrate it? With fireworks and BBQ. Well, there is someone who wants is to go Vegan this season and that person is Frank from Sausage Party that is out on August 12th.
Can I be frank with you Frank, you taste too good on the grill for me not eat you. Plus, I love a good wiener on my lips.
