The health aspect was also revealing. This film in a "hmmm" sort of way and the McDonalds film in a "duh!" sort of way. Also, odds are a lot of people who saw Super High Me were already aware of the comedian. Nobody knew or cared about who Spurlock was and his burger film launched a career of questionable infotainment, none of which has been very significant.
