In the annals of legendary sports rivalries, few are more fraught, complex and stomach-churning than the one between competitive eaters Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi. For several years, the pair went head-to-head in the annual Nathan’s Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest, and their story is the subject of a new 30 for 30 documentary, The Good, the Bad, The Hungry, premiering July 2nd on ESPN.
A new trailer for the film highlights Kobayashi’s remarkable eating career, during which he also held records for scarfing down meatballs, tacos, hamburgers and Twinkies.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
