Indie Icons: Morgan Spurlock Talks New CNN Show 'Inside Man' (Video)

The "Super-Size Me" filmmaker explains why his series won't be a part of the "polarized" TV landscape.


Oscar-nominated filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hopes the perspective of his new CNN series doesn't easily fall into an ideological category.

"What happens when you turn on the TV a lot, they completely polarize everything. You're either on this side, you're either on this side, and that's it, there's no middle ground," the Super-Size Me director told  during a recent interview while on the press tour for Inside Man.

"Almost every issue we cover in this show, there is a tremendous amount of people who aren't on this side or this side that have much differing opinions than the ones who are screaming the loudest. I think that is what this show does, it gives a voice to a lot of those people," Spurlock explained.
Inside Man, a first-person exploration show, saw Spurlock take a job in a medical marijuana dispensary during the debut episode on June 23. The show will air weekly on Sundays at 10 p.m.
