Will and Luke continue their voyage through the anti-Michael Moore documentaries of the mid-2000s with MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA, a Michael Moore-style documentary about Michael Moore himself. Filmmaker Michael Wilson travels the country in pursuit of an interview with Moore, but discovers America instead. Along the way, he haplessly tries to explain to Albert Maysles why the title "MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA" is actually a satiric comment on 2004-era political discourse; ambushes Dinesh D'Souza; and listens raptly to our modern Cicero, Penn Jillette. Holy crap, this movie is terrible.
