Terence Neale of Egg Films, Cape Town, South Africa, directed this :60 which takes us to a dark, forsaken orphanage that resembles a haunted house. There, children seem to be living a joyless existence, burdened with chores and fearful of the staff.
But there’s always hope as one little girl is being adopted. She meets her would-be parents for the first time; they are nice, promising her new clothes, ballet lessons and a warm, loving family. The girl is understandably pleased and glad to be starting a new chapter in her life–that is, until, the parents give her one more promise, pizza every Wednesday night.
Suddenly the girl is doing everything physically in her power not to leave with them; inexplicably, she wants to stay at the orphanage.
The camera cuts to an explanation as we see Wednesday night at the orphanage dining hall is “Slyder Night” when the kids are served Chicken Licken Slyders.
A slogan appear on screen which reads, “Home is where the Licken is.”

“Beatles ’64” Documentary Captures Intimate Moments From Landmark U.S. Visit
Likely most people have seen iconic footage of the Beatles performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show." But how many have seen Paul McCartney during that same U.S. trip feeding seagulls off his hotel balcony?
That moment — as well as George Harrison and John Lennon goofing around by exchanging their jackets — are part of the Disney+ documentary "Beatles '64," an intimate look at the English band's first trip to America that uses rare and newly restored footage. It streams Friday.
"It's so fun to be the fly on the wall in those really intimate moments," says Margaret Bodde, who produced alongside Martin Scorsese. "It's just this incredible gift of time and technology to be able to see it now with the decades of time stripped away so that you really feel like you're there."
"Beatles '64" leans into footage of the 14-day trip filmed by documentarians Albert and David Maysles, who left behind 11 hours of the Fab Four goofing around in New York's Plaza hotel or traveling. It was restored by Park Road Post in New Zealand.
"It's beautiful, although it's black and white and it's not widescreen," says director David Tedeschi. "It's like it was shot yesterday and it captures the youth of the four Beatles and the fans."
The footage is augmented by interviews with the two surviving members of the band and people whose lives were impacted, including some of the women who as teens stood outside their hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beatles.
"It was like a crazy love," fan Vickie Brenna-Costa recalls in the documentary. "I can't really understand it now. But then, it was natural."
The film shows the four heartthrobs flirting and dancing at the Peppermint Lounge disco, Harrison noodling with a Woody Guthrie riff on his guitar... Read More
