About this episode

Did you ever get the feeling you were being . . . watched? That a thousand eyes behind a thousand cameras were tracking your every move, broadcasting your life to unknown observers for unknown purposes? It's not that you live in the rapacious surveillance state that is modern America; you must be starring in The Truman Show! This voyeuristic dramedy from director Peter Weir released in 1998 and captured the imaginations of critics and audiences alike with its prescient vision of celebrity obsession and the unending search for authenticity in a performative world. But will the movie achieve self-awareness amid a crowd of extras and reunite with the long-lost love of quality entertainment, or will the film's journey to a positive review be insurmountably obstructed by a series of improbable setbacks? Get aware on the air with Magellans at the Movies as we find out on today's brand new episode!
