March 24, 201115 yr "Super High Me" It's a spin of the documentary "Super Size Me" but instead of eating McDonalds it is comedian Doug Benson and well I'm sure you can guess by the title. It's actually very good though. Shows him taking medical tests before and after the 30 days, both physical and mental. As well as some other stuff. When I saw the recommendations for "Thank You For Smoking" it reminded me of it.
