Join Stephen and guest Johnny McIntosh (Pop Culture Detective) for a deep dive into The Truman Show (1998). They'll discuss how our reality might be far more troubling than Truman's, how society today voluntarily retreats into its own Sea Havens, and how contemporary audiences react very differently to this film than those who watched it in 1998.
