Trutalk, a Truman Show podcast - Episode 7

During lockdown I crossed a project off my bucket list, a film nerd podcast all about my favourite film, The Truman Show (1998) directed by Peter Wier.

This extra-long bonus episode is split roughly down the middle. In the first half we explore in detail Andrew Niccol's original screenplay for the Truman Show and see how different it is. In the second half I read and respond to some audience comments and feedback. Thank you for watching!

And hey, since you made it this far, please consider donating to my favourite charity Great Ormond Street Hospital: https://www.justgiving.com/page/chris...
