Description

Subject: The Truman Show (1998)

Observers: John Pavlich, Tysto

Record Date: March 10, 2018, 01:08 PM

Plot Summary: A young man with a picturesque life discovers he is in fact the central character in a "reality" program on TV.

Note: Tysto returns as we take another look at this unique and oddly prescient film from twenty years ago. We talk about scripted reality, manipulation through media, manufactured consent and the rise and fall of Jim Carrey. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the film on your DVD.
