- Episode 240: Episode 240 - The Birdcage (1:25:26)by Twitter-poll decree, we slip it into the back end of Pride Month with a review of the Robin Williams / Nathan Lane comedy, “The Birdcage” with James Jenneman of Blackbird.It’s been 25 years since this movie burst onto the scene and changed the cultural landscape. A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiance's right-wing moralistic senator.We are family! This should be a great discussion.Next week, we go A-to-M as we invite Snobby Bobby of the Not For Everyone Podcast on to talk about a 4th of July-ish film with a review of “Jaws”.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/240Presented 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
