About this listen
Send us a Text Message we would love to hear what you thought of the show.
What if your entire life was secretly being broadcast to the world—would you know it?
This week on Wicked Psychotherapists, Erin and Tanya dive deep into the psychological layers of The Truman Show, that eerily ahead-of-its-time 1998 film starring Jim Carrey in one of his first serious roles.
We break down how this classic predicted the rise of social media, 24/7 surveillance culture, and the growing pressure to perform “normalcy” for an invisible audience.
From gaslighting on a global scale to the link between Truman’s experiences and social anxiety, we explore the mental health implications of being watched—and what it means to find your authentic self in a world full of curated performances.
Also, don’t miss our challenge question: would you take $2 million a year to be live-streamed 24/7? Your answer might surprise you.
🎥 Next up: Office Space!
👻 And yes—“Little Nicky” for Halloween might just be happening...
💬 Listen, reflect, and let us know: would YOU have escaped the Truman Show?
