Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective episodes
- Episode 200 - The Godfather, Part II (1:19:30)Just when we thought we were out, we get pulled back in to continue our discussion on The Godfather with the great Keith Knight of Don’t Tread on Anyone.Our previous episode on the Godfather only began to scratch the surface of all the many facets and intricacies going on in this epic film series. This time we are going to talk about some of the international scenes such as in Italy and in Cuba, and also go wherever else our guest wants to go.The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola who co-wrote the screenplay with Mario Puzo, based on Puzo's best-selling 1969 novel of the same name.We’ll end with our summary and review and ratings for the movies, which we didn’t have time for on the previous episode.Join us next week as we welcome our good friend, Mike C. to talk about RoboCop.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/200Presented 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 199 - Hotel Rwanda (1:26:50)We veer back to a more serious movie as we bring back Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty to discuss Hotel Rwanda.The film chronicles the true story of Paul Rusesabinga (Don Cheadle), a brave hotel manager who risked his life and those of his family to take in more than 1,000 refugees during the 1994 genocide of the Tutsus by Hutu militia.Join us next week as we continue our discussion on The Godfather trilogy with our friend Keith Knight of Don't Tread on Anyone.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/199Presented by ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 198 - Gentlemen Broncos (1:22:06)We mount our Battle Stags and take a less serious turn, and move from a movie masterpiece to a movie that’s barely a movie in Gentlemen Broncos which was a suggestion by our guest, Ben “Dirty J” Johnson.A mostly peaceful wildfire, probably from a maskless gender reveal that was conducted without proper social distancing, has de-nadded my co-host rendering him unable to connect to the internet so it is just me and Dirty J on this one. However, we do intend to create some bonus content so we can all hear Robert’s take on this and bask in his hate that I fully expect him to have for this one.Join us next week as we veer back to a more serious movie as we bring back Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty to discuss Hotel Rwanda.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/198Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 197 - The Godfather (1:11:40)We discuss The Godfather Trilogy, a story of succession and a metaphor for capitalism where the distinction between mafia and government becomes blurred. We have the great Keith Knight of Don't' Tread on Anyone join us for a review we can’t refuse.The Godfather is an American film series that consists of three crime films directed by Francis Ford Coppola inspired by the 1969 novel of the same name by Italian American author Mario Puzo.This is part one of the conversation and we will be having Keith on again in a few weeks to continue it.Join us next week as we take a less serious turn, and move from a movie masterpiece to a movie that’s barely a movie in Gentlemen Broncos which was a suggestion by our guest next week, Ben “Dirty J” Johnson.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/197Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 196 - Knives Out (1:19:56)We investigate the whodunit “Knives Out” with the Meme Policeman! We even touch on the age old question of if the left can meme or not.The circumstances surrounding the death of crime novelist Harlan Thrombey are mysterious, but there's one thing that renowned Detective Benoit Blanc knows for sure -- everyone in the wildly dysfunctional Thrombey family is a suspect. Now, Blanc must sift through a web of lies and red herrings to uncover the truth.We've been meaning to get the Meme Policeman on the show for quite some time and it looks like the stars are finally aligning, just like they did for the stars that came together to make "Knives Out".Join us next week as we welcome back the great Keith Knight of Don't Tread on Anyone to discuss "Godfather II".Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/196Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 195 - Conspiracy (1:37:04)We continue on the war theme as we have Dr. Dennis Foster on to talk about "Conspiracy", no, not the 2008 Val Kilmer classic, we're doing the HBO/BBC version which is derived from transcripts of the 1942 Wannsee Conference, a top-secret Nazi meeting to debate the merits of Hitler's 'Final Solution'.In 1942, officials of the Third Reich gather in Wannsee, near Berlin, Germany to plan the extermination of an entire race.Join us next week as we investigate the whodunit “Knives Out” with the Meme Policeman!Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/195Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 194 - Full Metal Jacket (1:19:39)What is this Mickey Mouse shit?! We are getting with the program and recording on the duality of man. You know, Jungian shit. We talk about a movie with interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture...and love you long time tonight. We wanted to be the first show on our block with an analysis of Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”.We bring back Jon Reed who’s been on many times before. He’s got a major malfunction and is a bit of a film scholar and maker, and is an appreciator of fine works such as this one.Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis (Matthew Modine), quickly christened "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant (R. Lee Ermey), and pudgy Private Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio), nicknamed "Gomer Pyle," as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering -- and eventually participating in -- the bloody Battle of Hué.Check in with us next week as we hit up some “Conspiracy” with our friend, Dr. Dennis Foster.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/194Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 193 - Alita: Battle Angel (1:28:48)We’re here to talk about “Alita: Battle Angel” that has some interesting questions about sentience and self-ownership among other fun angles. Our guest is Alex who had joined us in the past for the musical rendition of “Les Miserables” and this is a suggestion on his part.Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido, a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens, she has no memory of who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she finds herself in. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious past.Join us next week as we head back to the jungle to take on a Kubrick classic, “Full Metal Jacket” with our film connoisseur friend, Jon Reed who was on most recently for another brilliant war film, “Apocalypse Now”.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/193Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

- Episode 192 - Uncut Gems (1:33:37)We’re here to talk about a more serious Adam Sandler movie, “Uncut Gems” that opens with a hole in his butt, and ends with a hole in his head. Our pal Patrick MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly joins us to discuss this movie about gambling addiction, the NBA playoffs, and precious gemstones on tonight’s episode.A charismatic jeweller makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.Join us next weeks as we bring back our guest from our “Les Miserables” episode to discuss an anime-inspired film, “Alita Battle Angel” that has some interesting questions about sentience and self-ownership among other fun angles.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/192Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

When so many get their history from movies and pop culture, what does this "teach" that is inaccurate and if it does, to what end? Is the lens through which it was created now different in these short few years?Join us next week as we welcome the return of Patrick MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly to discuss the Adam Sandler film, “Uncut Gems”.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/191Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.
