Groundhog Dames Podcast
In a world where Covid kept them apart, three Amigos (Amy, Annette and Theo) were reunited with a life that's now 'online', sharing a polyamorous relationship with the silver screen. When WhatsApp couldn't contain their meaty discussions, they decided to share them with the world. This podcast will sure take you down the rabbit hole. It has laughs, it has drama, bringing about larger questions of how difficult subjects sit within the real world. They hope to share their tangents and find like-minded friends on the way.

Rabbit hole #9 - The Truman Show Delusion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re extremely excited about this mind-bending episode.
What makes a 'reality' alternate? It doesn't necessarily need to be in the 'Sci Fi' genre, so is it more about a tone, feeling or vibe?
We've homed in on The Truman Show Delusion, informally known as Truman Syndrome, a type of delusion in which the person believes their life is staged & scripted.
Films like Bliss, The Congress, The Matrix, The Truman Show, Coherence and many more have acted as gateways for us to experience the world of alternate realities. With the Information Age giving us possibilities as well as problems; is ignorance bliss? Which pill would you take, Red or Blue?
Disclaimer...
Without getting too philosophical, our common understanding is that we are all in our separate realities with individual perceptions of our one shared physical reality. We’re not physicists so these are just our views on it.
We’ve based our discussions on films where characters live in the same reality as us but are thrown into an alternate separate reality. Changing what is considered real for the character and their world.
See you down there Neo 💊 🐇 🕳
