Mister America (2019)
After representing himself in a mass murder trial which resulted in a hung jury, Tim Heidecker decides to run to unseat the San Bernardino District Attorney who prosecuted him. He's not a resident, he's not a lawyer, he hasn't done his due diligence to even get on the ballot, and he's got no political experience. But he's got a film crew following him around and a woman who believes in him (and, more crucially, foots the bills).
I had no idea what was going on here, so I did a little research. Heidecker has this whole web of shows and media -- including the "On Cinema" podcast mentioned in the movie -- and this character has evolved from that. Maybe if I had been in the know I might've liked this a bit? Based on how unfunny my ignorant self found every bit of what I saw, I doubt it's likely, but I'm willing to consider it a possibility.
