1. A method of generating supplemental media content for a media asset, the method comprising:
identifying, by control circuitry, subject matter related to the media asset being consumed by a user;
identifying, by the control circuitry, as the supplemental media content, a plurality of supplemental media content items generated by the user of a plurality of media content items associated with a user profile of the user, and related to the subject matter of the media asset, wherein identifying, by the control circuitry, a supplemental media content item of the plurality of supplemental media content items as related to the subject matter of the media asset comprises:
determining a location referenced in the media asset;
determining a physical location associated with a media content item that is associated with the user profile; and
in response to determining the location referenced in the media asset matches the physical location associated with the media content item associated with the user profile, identifying the media content item as the supplemental media content item;
combining, by the control circuitry, each of the identified plurality of supplemental media content items generated by the user into a combined supplemental media content item; and
generating, by the control circuitry, for simultaneous consumption at a particular computing device the media asset and the combined supplemental media content item including each of the identified plurality of supplemental media content items generated by the user.
