Episode 034: This is One Reality Show That Definitely Isn't Ethical—The Truman Show (1998) with Mehwish Safdar

CinemaPsych Podcast

Join Alex and Virginia Commonwealth University undergrad Mehwish Safdar in a discussion of the various psychological concepts in the wildly unethical, but touching lark The Truman Show (1998). The film stars Jim Carrey, in a shift from his sillier roles earlier in the 90s, as the titular Truman Burbank. He's the real person in an elaborate reality show. Joining him are Ed Harris and Laura Linney as the creator Christof and his fake wife, respectively. It's a fantastic ride and could be useful in discussions beyond ethics!
