This week on Nerds Against Normality, we dive into The Truman Show (1998) — the Jim Carrey classic that predicted reality TV, social media obsession, and our love of watching other people’s lives unfold.

But before we get into the review, we have a bittersweet announcement: this is Stacey’s final episode for a little while as she prepares for an exciting new chapter. Don’t worry though — a brand-new co-host is already lined up and will be joining the podcast very soon…

🎮 One Thing

Stacey has finally finished Split Fiction, and we break down the experience, the story, and whether it lives up to the hype.

🎬 Main Review – The Truman Show

We revisit Peter Weir’s mind-bending classic starring Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Ed Harris and Noah Emmerich, and ask:

Does The Truman Show feel even more relevant today?

Is this Jim Carrey’s greatest performance?

How terrifying would it actually be to discover your entire life was fake?

We discuss the film’s themes, performances, world-building, and why this movie still feels so eerily ahead of its time.

As always, we wrap things up with our final scores and decide whether The Truman Show still deserves its reputation as one of the most unique films of the 90s.

If you enjoy movie reviews, video games, and nerd culture debates, you’re in the right place.
