Roadrunner has landed on Netflix in the UK. The film about celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain sparked controversy last year when the director revealed he’d used AI to recreate Bourdain’s voice in some scenes. Bourdain died in 2018 while filming his last cookery show in France. The doc includes interviews with members of the show’s production team, plus Bourdain’s family and friends, and offers unique insight into Bourdain’s writing process and why he became one of the world’s most popular chefs.
