(Pizza scene video)
Landed on this through the comments in my last post about Spielberg/Disney connections. The symbolism was so blatant it deserved its own post...
Jennifer Love Hewitt is a child actor with links to Oakwood Arms and Kids Inc., among other things.
In 1992, she starred in a movie called Munchie where the pizza scene is from (here is a summary).
Munchie was directed by Jim Wynorski, soon after he made a couple of films called “976-EVIL” and “Scream Queen Hot Tub party”.
The next year, when she was 13, Hewitt did another movie with Wynorski, Little Miss Millions. The other film he directed that year was Sins of Desire.
Coincidental that a resident of Oakwood Arms (who has been revealed as a victim of Disney's Kids Inc. producers) would star in a movie around the same time by a guy known for "967-EVIL", "Hot Tub Party", and "Sorority House Massacre"?
In 1994, Wynorski followed them up with Point of Seduction: Body Chemistry... then "Victim of Desire" and "Sorceress" in 95.
Lo and behold, a key scene from the 1992 Jennifer Love Hewitt movie shows a pizza floating in the air while being controlled by magic… before being hunted down by an angry man wielding a meat cleaver.
It would be good if someone had more information about Wynorski, besides the IMDB filmography above. Love Hewitt’s connections to PG were explored in my last post, but there is probably more left to say on that subject too.
Other observations?

I came across this video
https://youtu.be/0ySy71c5d9s
Its old VHS footage from an Barbie workout video, JLH is one of the dancing kids.
Looked it up which let me here: http://www.childstarlets.com/captures/moviesj/jhdanceb.html
Weird website which need a membership? to see the pictures in larger format.
Maybe this website needs a closer look? I could make a new post about it.

Yes, you should make a new post. There's something to uncover between the spandex / 'dancing' / Mattel / Barbie stuff... I thought aerobics were pretty out of fashion by '92, so what was the "business case" for making this tape?
Wynorski probably saw footage like this (JLH dancing on Kids Inc. too) when he cast her to be in his movies. Wynorski wrote a line from Scream Queen Hot Tub Party:
Actress 1: "Soon we'll be in contact with a dark, festering demon who roams the neverworld in search of obscene and perverse pleasures..." Actress 2: "Want to call my agent?"
What if he went back to his trailer after directing exploitation flicks all day, and watched an aerobics video like this? Based on his stated feelings about the women in his movies, you really hope he didn't know about this video when auditioning JLH for the 'pizza movie'... (but he probably did).
(Also note that the first thing in the video is that big star in a circle on the floor).
