New Showbiz Analysis

The documentary focuses on a niche subcultural narrative, emphasizing camaraderie and unconventional lifestyles rather than broader social commentary. While it successfully challenges mainstream social norms and traditional career structures, it remains demographically narrow. The focus on a male-centric 'buddy' dynamic limits its broader social reach. Ultimately, the work lacks the complexity needed for a higher score, functioning more as a personal observational piece than a diverse social study.

Official Synopsis

Comedian Doug Benson, the subject of Super High Me, is back to answer one question: What is the subject of that cult hit pot-umentary up to now? He’s got three popular podcasts, 400,000 plus Twitter followers, a series on Comedy Central, and a new comedy doc: The Greatest Movie Ever Rolled. It’s a fast paced look at life on the road for a comic with a rabid following, as he travels with his buddy - clean-livin’, wound-up karate enthusiast, Graham Elwood - on a tour to raise money to make a movie about going on tour to raise money to make a movie. Yeah, so very Spurlock of him. Doug finds fun everywhere he goes, and he’d like to share it with you.
