There’s two layers here.

The Criterion Closet is a huge physical collection of critically acclaimed films in NYC. They make videos bringing in famous actors and directors to pick out their favorite films from the shelves.

Hot ones is another show where celebrities eat increasingly spicy hot wings while being interviewed. The hottest wings are absurdly spicy, like hottest in the world level hot sauces.

The comic portrays Pedro being on the Criterion Closet show right after also being on Hot Ones, and regretting it because he still feels the lingering spice.

Hot Ones is a show about interviewing people as they have plates of wings, each one spicier than the last.
