Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective episodes
- Episode 60 - Gamer (47:55)We discuss the 2009 Gerard Butler vehicle, GAMER, about live-action video-gaming of real live players, both in a simulated world where anything goes; and a Running Man/Gladiator-style fight for freedom from the dystopian prison system.Though not a great movie, Robert and I find plenty to discuss in this one. Worth seeing if you want to dig into some of the deeper questions out of a movie that tries really, really hard to be flash in the pan.Show notes and more at: https://www.actualanarchy.com/60Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist 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)48 min
- Episode 59 - WALL-E (51:49)We hang on to the last vestiges of my youth as I turn 40 and talk about a children's movie with my friend since childhood, and co-host, Robert. WALL-E is a charming story of a lonely robot who gains sentience and becomes lonely; but there's also some ridiculous economic fallacies and a few strong propagandistic messages being pushed. We hope you enjoy this one!Show notes and more at: http://www.actualanarchy.com/59Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective.We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.

- Episode 58 - Get Out (55:54)Robert and I start to implement a few optimizations to the format of the show as we discuss Jordan Peele's "Get Out" which is an excellent movie that uses perceptions related to race to mask the narrative of the story. We both really enjoyed this one and appreciate you bearing with us as we implement updates to the show.Show notes are more at: http://www.actualanarchy.com/58Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective.We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.

The Star Wars saga continues as the heroes of The Force Awakens join galactic legends in an epic adventure unlocking mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past.We get into some deep nerdery on this one, and of course: spoilers all the time.Show notes and more at: http://www.actualanarchy.com/57Presented by 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.

- Episode 55 - Trading Places (1:33:25)We discuss yet another Christmas classic from the 80's, Trading Places, starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd in a modern-day (progressive) interpretation of the Prince and the Pauper.We are joined by Trey Weaver of the Subversion Webcast (the newest member of the Libertarian Union, and all around good guy) to discuss this nature vs. nurture, social engineering, comedy that has perhaps even more relevance today than it did in 1983.Show notes: www.actualanarchy.com/55Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective.We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.

- Episode 53 – War Machine (1:19:35)Kyle from Foreign Policy Focus joins us to talk about the Brad Pitt movie, War Machine which is a satire on the quagmire of US foreign policy in Afghanistan. The story follows a charismatic general who in a policy of "change guys" seems to think he and his team will be the solution to winning the hearts and minds of the population, and thus the war itself. We were very happy to have Kyle join us to bring a level of expertise that would otherwise be missing from an analysis of a film such as this.Show notes and more at http://www.actualanarchy.com/53You can find Kyle's show on the Libertarian Institute and the Libertarian Union websites:https://www.libertarianinstitute.orghttp://www.libertarianunion.comPresented by 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.

- Episode 52 - The Founder (1:27:25)Happy holidays everyone! And what better way to open the "commercialization" of the season than by talking about "The Founder" and how the McDonald's corporation became the global presence it is today.Robert and I go solo on this one and get fairly deep into the concepts of persistence, specialization and the division of labor.This was a perfect meatball of a movie for us and we hope you enjoy it.Show notes and more https://www.ActualAnarchy.com/52Robert 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.

- Episode 51 - Poverty Inc. with Walter Block (1:29:53)Walter Block joins us for our Thanksgiving Special. Being the beginning of the holiday season, with good will toward man and all that, it felt appropriate to discuss charitable giving and the premises of the documentary, "Poverty Inc.".One recommendation, before watching the movie, please read the article by Block and Fryzek, then watch, then re-read the paper. You will get much more out of the movie and gain some economic insights that are easily missed.Show notes at www.ActualAnarchy.com/51Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective.We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.
