The Last Nighters - Free-market Film Analysis

Robert and I get into the John Carpenter science-fiction horror set in Antarctica where you don't know who you can trust, or even if you can trust yourself, The Thing!

We talk about the moral dilemma presented the characters who seemingly must choose between murdering their fellows or allowing a widespread epidemic that would wipe out humanity in short order.

We get into all sorts of nitty-gritty and we wind our way as far South as you can go.

Robert and I double-down on one of the key movies of our formative years, the Vince Vaughn breakout film, Swingers. This is a fun romp of a movie that tests the boundaries of what could be done today and ended up being a quote-fest a la our Billy Madison or Lebowski episodes. I'm supposed to be impressed because he's wearing a backpack. This episode is so money, and you don’t even know it.

We're talking about the punk-rock horror/thriller movie Green Room. It pits an ANTIFA-flavored punk band and a white supremacist audience against in each other in a battle to the death.

Sadly, they both share many of the same ideas and horrific understanding of economics and morality. We get deep into some of the weeds here in a fun critique of pacing and real grown-up style reviewing. Enjoys!

Patrick MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly recently became a lawyer and joins us to discuss one of his favorite movies, Liar Liar. Jim Carrey is pretty much a commie these days, but still had a pretty good run of comedy films in the 90’s.

This film did not age well, but the premise hinges on how courts often side with the woman at the expense of the man in family court, which gives us plenty to talk about.

We go back to the Batman well and bring an old friend along as a guest to discuss Batman: Dark Knight Returns. 10 years after retiring, Gotham has descended further and further into crime and chaos as the corrupt police department is failing at the job it prevents others from providing.

Batman comes out of retirement to do battle various enemies, both old and new, for the last time. This Frank Miller work was a very strong comic series that was faithfully created as an animated feature with some very deep themes worthy of discussion.

Join us as we slice and dice on this one.

We explore some cinematic history covering a few iterations of the Magnificent Seven and Seven Samurai story that starts out fairly libertarian, but each iteration gets less and less so.

We talk a bit about private law, non-state justice systems, the myth of the robber barons and how the west wasn’t actually so wild. We’ve never worked for everything before, but $20 is a lot right now.

Plenty to chew on in this episode, so we hope you do enjoy it.

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin', We're gonna do what they say can't be done. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. There’s beer in Texarkana and they’re thirsty in Atlanta.

We’re going to find economics points to make while discussing the Burt Reynolds classic, Smokey and the Bandit. Join us to watch ol' "Bandit" run.

10-4 good buddy.

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.

Robert and I fire up the Walkman to kick out some tunes for Guardians of the Galaxy.

We focus on the first movie, which was really quite good and we crap all over the second one, where one of the hosts could not even finish watching.

This is one of our first dips into the Marvel Comic Universe, but it will not be the last.

I am Groot.

Back to school, back to school, to show my dad that I’m not a fool. Oh wait, this isn’t Billy Madison, this is the real world!

We talk about the documentary SCHOOLING THE WORLD that identifies many of the symptoms of the harms of government schooling, but misdiagnoses the causes and thus the prescriptions are misguided.

We bring on a special guest who was a former teacher and is now a powerful advocate for liberty, Jack V Lloyd of the Voluntaryist Comic and many other projects.

The bonus content for this one has some really powerful stuff and can be accessed via supporting us on Patreon.

Enjoy. Show notes: http://www.lastnighters.com/35

It is good that warriors such as us should meet in the struggle for life… Or death. It shall be life on this episode of the show where we discuss the Clint Eastwood movie, the Outlaw Josey Wales. This is a Western movie’s movie with plenty of gunslinging and vengeance to keep you entertained with a great libertarian subplot. Enjoy!
