Spurlock in 30 Days
Filed under: Documentary
Morgan Spurlock, director/on-screen guinea pig of last year's Oscar-nominated Super Size Me, is deep in production on his next project. Sort of an extreme reality show (so, basically, the same methodology as Super Size Me, but in 30-minute chunks), 30 Days, which premieres on FX June 15, will track Spurlock as he emmerses himself in various lifestyles for one month at a time. In the first episode, he and vegan-chef-girlfriend Alex set up shop in Columbus, OH, where they attempt to live on minimum wage ($5.15/hr) for one month. In future episodes, Spurlock will tackle "Islam and America, Binge Drinking, Anti-Aging, Consumerism [and] Homosexuality." Spurlock parcels out a few more details on the production on his blog, but I'm sure he's saving a few juicy tidbits for his upcoming appearance on The View. "That's right, I'm gonna be on The View," he writes. "I can't believe it either."

This sounds like it will be a lot of fun to watch. It seems to be in the vein of The Awful Truth, Michael Moore's old show, although less, well, Michael Moore like. The "Binge Drinking" episode sounds kinda dangerous if he's going to be doing it for thirty days straight. But the one I don't really get: "Consumerism???" How do you NOT walk out of your door and immerse yourself in a never-ending life of consumerism?
