At that time, we thought of Carrey as Ace Ventura or Lloyd Christmas and not as the sad sack that was Truman Burbank who, unbeknownst to him, was being broadcast to billions of people every second of the day. <br><br>I talk to <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@hey_zoo\">Zoo</a> about the implications of this depressing &quot;comedy.&quot;\u00a0 The Truman Show is a reminder of the commercialization that was seen to this day. Everything is for sale, everything is a jammed pack full of advertisements and we may have lost some of our own identities in the process.<br><br>Notes:<br><br><a href=\"https://cinephiliabeyond.org/truman-show-weir-niccols-uplifting-yet-prophetically-disturbing-dystopian-satire/\"><strong>\u2018The Truman Show\u2019: Weir and Niccol\u2019s Uplifting Yet Prophetically Disturbing Dystopian Satire</strong></a><strong></strong><a href=\"https://www.bfi.org.uk/interviews/how-we-made-truman-show-20th-anniversary\"><strong>How we made The Truman Show \u2013 20th anniversary</strong></a><strong></strong>Music by <a href=\"https://freemusicarchive.org/music/holiznacc0/\">HoliznaCC0</a>, <a href=\"https://freemusicarchive.org/music/holiznacc0/orphaned-media\">Orphaned Media - Swingin&#39; Richard</a></p>\n<p><strong>Left of the Projector:</strong><a href=\"https://boxd.it/5T9O1\">\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://leftoftheprojector.com\">\u2060Subscribe\u2060</a> //</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://boxd.it/5T9O1\">\u2060\u2060Letterboxd\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //<a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPod\">\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPod\">\u2060\u2060\u2060Patreon\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://pod.link/1627324689\">\u2060\u2060\u2060Podcast Stream Links \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //<a href=\"https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/\">\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/\">\u2060\u2060\u2060Merch Store\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //<a href=\"https://youtube.com/@LeftoftheProjector/\">\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://youtube.com/@LeftoftheProjector/\">\u2060\u2060\u2060YouTube Channel\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //<a href=\"https://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorpod\">\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorpod\">\u2060\u2060\u2060 \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060Instagram\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a> //<a href=\"http://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpod\">\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060</a></p>\n<p>\n\n</p>\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: <a href=\"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leftoftheprojector/support\" rel=\"payment\">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leftoftheprojector/support</a>","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9c3e0add-f698-451f-ac72-3e43070b9468/1c8228fb309d93d7.jpeg"}
