- Episode 250: Episode 250 - Salvador (1:19:37)The great, Pete Quinones returns for only his second non-Kevin Costner movie and we delve into some vintage James Woods and talk about “Salvador” directed by Oliver Stone.Salvador was based on an autobiography of an American photojournalist played by James Woods who was on his uppers, he went to El Salvador with his best friend played by Jim Belushi.We see what happens with an adventurous foreign policy that creates losers and villians on all sides.Pete recommended this one and will have plenty to say.Join us next week as we shift into more family-friendly fare with a review of “Newsies” with Abby Cleckner, who is a friend of frequent guest Dr. Dennis Foster and thus a listener of the show.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/250Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert 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.SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)1 hr 20 min
- Episode 249: Episode 249 - The Croods (1:26:13)Rachel Kennerly of Just Add Liberty and Cannabis Heals Me returns to the stone-age with us to discuss “The Croods” in what may be a glimpse of civilization’s future if we continue on the current trajectory.An eccentric cave family named the Croods – consisting of Grug, Eep, Ugga, Thunk, Sandy, and Gran – survive several natural disasters, predatory animals and the common cold by sheltering inside a dark cave, merely surviving. Is such a life worth living? Eep is dissatisfied with the over-protective nature of her father Grug “protecting” her from everything. She’d rather a dangerous liberty than a temporarily calm “safety”.Rachel is a lot of fun and we will have a great time discussing this with her.Join us next week as the great, Pete Quinones returns for only his second non-Kevin Costner movie and we delve into some vintage James Woods and talk about “Salvador” directed by Oliver Stone.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/249Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

A misadventure in the wilderness leads to life-changing discoveries for the troubled orphan teen from the city and his belligerent Uncle Hec. A road movie and coming-of-age tale, Hunt for the Wilderpeople is consistently clever and even moving according to Roger Ebert’s website.This is a suggestion by my long-lost co-host Robert, so I am sure he will have plenty to say on this one.Join us next week for the return of Johnny Profita of Peddling Fiction as we get into the summer film, Point Break.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/244Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.
