Episode 177 - The Truman Show - a podcast by Movie Podcast

from 2023-06-06T01:00

:: ::

Good morning!  And in case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and good night.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, and Ethan(Georgia & Megan have apparently moved to Fiji) as we're heading to Seahaven - if we can get by the forest fire and nuclear plant leak as we review The Truman Show. It's a boat ride to the end of the world in our 177th episode as we discuss:


  • Whether Jim Carrey is a good actor (again!)

  • Just how many things can you blame on Paul Giamatti

  • Liam struggles with disliking a villain that you're supposed to dislike again

  • We talk all sorts of ethics for the actors in The Truman Show

  • Just how many things go wrong in Seahaven in 1 week anyway?

  • Was bringing back Dad the worst thing that Christof could have done?

  • Ian shares a story where he refused to accommodate the costumier's choice in a play

  • We ask why Christof just doesn't let him be with who he likes in this film

  • We imagine the movie again with an almost entirely Muppet cast

  • Whether or not The Truman Show is the Best Film Ever
