Everything You DON'T Know About The Insane Lies of Super Size Me
Coffee & Cults: Everything You Don't Know About HollywoodShow Notes
Super Size Me is one of the most popular documentaries of all time, but what most people don't know, is that it's all a lie. In 2004 an Oscar nominated documentary was released that went onto have incredible impact, especially for kids & teens across America. But what many people don’t know is that everything about the documentary was a lie. For thirty days from Feb 1 2003 to March 2, Morgan Spurlock claimed he consumed nothing but McDonald’s food. Spurlock visited three different doctors to get baseline results & visited them again after consuming nothing but McDonalds for breakfast, lunch & dinner for a month straight. The results were absolutely startling, the doctors were so surprised, with all of them saying they had never seen anything like these results ever before. The doctors said it was shocking that this amount of damage could be done in just a month, but what the doctors didn’t know is that a lot of information was being hidden from them along with the hundreds of millions of people who watched Super Size Me, & barely anyone knows the real story of Super Size Me. So today we’ll be discussing not only how one of the most famous documentaries of all time was built on a lie, but also looking at the man behind the documentary, Morgan Spurlock & the other awful things he was hiding. Thank you so much for watching loves!

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie were once Hollywoods most beloved golden couples, but their almost ten year long divorce has revealed their relationship couldn’t have been further from golden.

Brittany Murphy was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1990's & early 2000's, but in a few short years her career would take a dramatic downturn.
Chris Hansen is an extremely nuanced figure, some him as a professional & ethical god that cannot be criticised & others see him as a self obsessed narcissist who only cares about money, fame & himself. This debate is set to explode over the coming weeks & months with the release of a new movie, Primetime starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen. Robert Pattinson is set to give an Oscar worthy performance as Chris Hansen in the new a24 movie, Primetime, & many have said Chris Hansen is portrayed as a wild ego driven lunatic. Chris Hansen himself has spoken out a lot about the movie, even though he hasn’t seen it, claiming Primetime lacks authenticity & admonishing the director & creatives behind the film for not reaching out to him. For several months leading up to the films release, Hansen spoke in many interviews & on his own youtube channel about toying with pursuing legal action, although after the films release Chris Hansen has said he is no longer likely to pursue a lawsuit. Of course given the fact that the film is about Chris Hansen, he’d be expected to give his opinion on it. But given how much he’s speaking about it & the amount of content he’s making about it, many people have speculated he doesn’t dislike this movie as much as he claims to.
Elizabeth Holmes thinks she can convince people she wasn’t lying… & I’m worried it’s going to work. Elizabeth Holmes is currently serving an eleven year prison sentence in Texas after she was convicted for three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in relation to her company Theranos. Although the wire fraud was in relation to half a billion dollars, whistleblowers & journalists who exposed Elizabeth Holmes were always more concerned about the millions of patients who’s health & lives Elizabeth Holmes was gambling with so she could continue to enrich herself. Elizabeth Holmes didn’t care who she hurt, just wanted to keep the hundreds of millions of other peoples money flowing into Theranos to fund her lavish lifestyle of mansions, private jets & the best of everything.
