Description

Have you heard about this reality TV show everyone is talking about? It follows a guy his entire life doing all these mundane things and get this — he doesn’t even know he’s being watched! Crazy, right? You should check it out. It’s called The Truman Show (1998). OK, jokes aside this doesn’t feel too far off from something that could happen in the year 2024. Joining us this episode is Martin from Film vs Film Podcast to talk about the movie that proved Jim Carrey has the chops for both comedy and drama. So sit down, grab your popcorn, and turn on your televisions because we’re breaking down the world of Truman, godlike metaphors, and philosophical caves.
