What are the hallmarks of toxic white girls? And how much of the o...2024-09-051h 07Offline with Jon FavreauOffline with Jon FavreauHow “The Truman Show” Explains Life in 2024Jon Lovett and Erin Ryan join Max to discuss how “The Truman Show,” predicted our current era of continuous surveillance and content mining. The movie may be from 1998, but its insights are just as applicable 25 years later—from cults of celebrity, to Fox News, to Instagram. Is Ed Harris’ dome over Burbank a cautionary tale about fascist governance? Do we all hide parts of personalities, depending on context? Why was Jon Lovett freaked out by the Hunger Games premiere?
