Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

We boldly continue our summertime mission with our pal, Patrick MacFarlane of the Liberty Weekly Podcast discussing episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

You can check out Pat’s show at: http://www.libertyweekly.net

This one is Season 3, Episode 16 - The Offspring.

Hoping to further his creator’s work and perpetuate his species, Data creates and android named Lal, who identifies as female.

Is she a creation or an offspring.

Do the rights afforded the father extend to his creation?

There is some administrative fireworks between Picard and Admiral Haftel that are unfortunately defused by the plot convenience of Lal’s cascade failure, but this is still a fun episode that explores the concepts and situations around parenting, social interactions and education.

Join us next week as we discuss "Crazy Heart" with our musician friend, Scott M.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.

We talk about the epic film “Reds” which follows John Reed as he covers the Bolshevik Revolution as an idealistic journalist with utopian visions of successfully implementing socialism. Our guest is Jon Reed (no relation) and we have a barn-burner of a discussion about this marathon of a movie that has some many discussion-nuggets that our show went a little long.

A Ronald Reagan favorite. #9 on the top ten list of "epics". An obsession-project for Warren Beatty who would shoot up to 100 takes and keep the film rolling so that he had over two weeks of footage. This movie destroyed his relationship with Diane Keaton and got Gene Hackman to refuse a role a decade later. His speech scene instigated the crew to strike over "exploitation" demanding higher wages.

Our guest has a penchant for long movies, apparently. His first appearance being for the nearly-3-hour DiCaprio flick "The Aviator".

Jon Reed’s a communications professional who’s been a writer and video creator for the past 20 years. He enjoys debating current events and explaining the blessings of liberty and how to get it and long walks on the beach. Jon’s a movie buff, wine lover, and introvert who enjoys his time chillin at home, or hanging out with a select few people who spike his intellect and curiosity...and cats...he’s a cat person.

You can go to his website http://jonreedcreative.com/

It’s almost that time of the month...that’s right, we’ll be back next week with our next installment in our summer series on episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation with Pat MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly. This time we’ll be taking the argument for Data’s self-ownership and step further down the family tree as we explore the episode called “The Offspring” where Data creates a “child”. Engage.

We're back and we're ringing a bell. We'll wrap up “Batman v Superman” and also tackle the debacle that is “Justice League”. Our man from Adelaide joins us once again to put on a clinic on the DCEU and try to make sense of it all.

We also have a discussion on the Marvel movies from the MCU, with a little “Man of Steel” spice added in for flavor with our Australian friend, Shaheen.

#ReleaseTheSnyderCut

We'll be back next week talking about the communist revolution movie "Reds" with Jon from Libertarianism For Normal People.

We hit you with “Bad Times at the El Royale” starring Jeff Lebowski and an ensemble cast. Set in the late 60’s, several strangers who are each walking contradictions, meet by chance at Lake Tahoe's El Royale, a former hotspot hotel straddling the California/Nevada border. Morality becomes different depending on which side of the line you're on.

This is a fun discussion on a Tarantino-esque film that folds over itself, but leaves rough edges so you can fill in some of the blanks in the story on your own - intentionally.

We promise that the next episode will be our wrap-up on Batman v Superman and also a discussion on Justice League with a little Man of Steel spice added in for flavor with our Australian friend, Shaheen.

Love it or hate it, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a movie. We bring back our friend from down-under who argues that the theatrical cut was just not refined enough and that the director's cut makes it a near masterpiece. We'll push him to defend his position. Robert and I will take the negative.

Hilarity ensues.

We Bust-a-Nut with some Booty Sweat and welcome back Doc Anarchy to the show to discuss Tropic Thunder, the controversial war movie send-up by and starring Ben Stiller that stirred up a bit of controversy with its use of the word, retard, and a white actor in blackface.

We did Dallas Buyers Club way back in episodes 4, complete with terrible audio. You can find that at: http://www.actualanarchy.com/4

Here is Doc’s site for his future podcast called Honoring Ron Paul: http://honoringronpaul.com/

We welcome the Profe$$ional A$$hole on the show for a Father's Day special discussion of Legends of the Fall. We man up on what it means to become a man in this episode.

A passionate journey into the darkest secrets of love, betrayal, and the unbreakable bonds of blood, it is a powerful story about three brothers struggling to stay together and the woman who comes between them.

The Anthony Hopkins character is such a stud libertarian in this movie that we just had to talk about it.

Join us next week for our guest Doc Anarchy as we review Tropic Thunder!

We've got a hunger that can only be satisfied with a mouthful of White Castle Slyders. We hitch a ride on a cheetah with Rachel of Cannabis Heals Me to discuss this intelligent stoner comedy from 2004.

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle follows the life-changing and mind-altering journey of Korean-American investment banker. Harold (Roldy) Lee and Kumar Patel are two stoners who get a serious case of the munchies that can only be satisfied by the “perfect burgers” from White Castle.

What should be a short trip across town, becomes a harrowing trip where they will encounter EXTREME obstacles including a rabid raccoon, a racist police officer, Freakshow and his hot wife, ride a cheetah and befriend NPH who’s trippin’ balls and steals their car. The boys overcome and discover something about themselves that makes them better people by the end.

We boldly go where no man has gone before, on this show at least, and discuss an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation with our pal, Patrick MacFarlane of the Liberty Weekly Podcast. You can find his show at: http://www.libertyweekly.net

Season 1, Episode 7: Justice

When Wesley is sentenced to death for innocently violating an alien planet’s custom, Captain Picard is forced to choose between negotiating for Wesley’s life or adhering to the Federation’s prime directive which prohibits interfering with another civilization’s way of life.

This has a great philosophical and legal conundrum that we will sink our teeth in to as a special birthday request of co-host, Robert Johnson.

Join us next week as we eat tiny burgers with the host of the Cannabis Heals Me Podcast and we discuss "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.”
