The Last Nighters - Free-market Film Analysis

We remember the great Sean Connery in one of his iconic roles as James Bond as we review “From Russia with Love” with the boorish, Professional Asshole.

From Russia with Love is a 1963 British spy film and the second in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, as well as Sean Connery's second role as MI6 agent James Bond.

A razor-sharp, briskly-paced Cold War thriller that features several electrifying action scenes it establishes many of the James Bond franchise tropes that continue in the series and is parodied in the likes of the Austin Powers series of films.

We hope you'll be both shaken, and stirred with this one.

Next week we invite returning guest, Jared Wall of Anarcholand and Breaking Liberty back to the show to talk about one of his favorite movies, all the way from India, called "Three Idiots" which will be quite appropriate considering who will be reviewing it.

We're going to record a hot one tonight.  Brace yourselves for a tirade or two from Robert on this one as we welcome James Jenneman, the Urban Agorist on to talk about the class-warfare flick from 2015, High-Rise.

Tom Hiddleston stars as Dr. Laing, resident in a high-tech skyscraper which places him amongst the upper class.  Life seems like paradise.  But, as building flaws emerge the social strata begins to crumble and the building descends into a class war.

Based on a dystopian novel by J.G. Ballard, it has Shining-vibes. Is it all in his head? Is the "building" haunted? Is the architect the mastermind who is pulling all the strings and realizing that central planning doesn't work?

We will discuss all that and more on this one.

Be sure to join us next week as we remember the great Sean Connerrey in one of his iconic roles as James Bond as we review “From Russia with Love” with the boorish, Professional Asshole.

It's the return of the great Peter R. Quinones for another round of Costner epics as we review Oliver Stone's, "JFK".

JFK is a 1991 American epic political thriller film directed by Oliver Stone. It examines the events leading to the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy and alleged cover-up through the eyes of former New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner).

In reference to our review of "They Live", it's like Oliver Stone is fighting with us for over three hours to put on the damn glasses. Garrison is a naive idealist, like Nada, and his attempt to awaken others is net with scorn.

This promises to be a pretty deep discussion on the deep state that still has repercussions to this day.

Next week, we welcome the Urban Agorist, James Jenneman to discuss the class analysis film, "High-Rise".

We're joined by special guest, Robert P. Murphy of the Bob Murphy Show to talk about John Carpenter's "They Live'.

They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live. Horror master John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) directs this heart-pounding thriller. Aliens are systematically gaining control of the earth by masquerading as humans and lulling the public into submission. Humanity's last chance lies with a lone drifter who stumbles upon a harrowing discovery - a unique pair of sunglasses that reveal the terrifying and deadly truth.

Bob did an episode on his show about the movie last year so we will discuss some of his points and give our own take as well.

Out of Frame by FEE just released a video on "They Live" as well that we will reference on this one and post on the show notes page.

We welcome the great, Kyle Anzalone of the Libertarian Institute on to discuss an under-appreciated and listener-suggested war movie, "The Best of War", just in time for Armistice Day.

Our listener, Nick, had the following to say (paraphrased):

"...I stumbled across a movie I had never heard of, it completely blew me away and so ever since I've been desperately trying to convince everyone across movie fandom to give it a shot and hopefully drag out of complete obscurity...I kid you not when I say this is the best Hollywood film you've never heard of. Quentin Tarantino's old writing partner Roger Avery has it down as the best movie of 1988 and he also has it down as one of his 20 desert island films with 'Apocalypse now' being the only other war film...if you do see it, let me know if you agree with me that this might be one of the 10 best American movies of the 1980s, one way or another we need to find a way to raise this movie's profile and prevent it from continual obscurity once and for all."

Looks like a winner to me and we know Kyle, who was our guest on another war movie a few years ago called "War Machine" will bring a lot to the discussion as he is a machine when it comes to reporting on this topic on his show "Conflicts of Interest" with his co-host Will Porter.

And if this wasn't enough goodness, we're going to be having special guest, Robert P. Murphy of the Bob Murphy Show on next week to talk about John Carpenter's "They Live”.

This week we get into the spirit and do a movie that we believe will be appropriate for the aftermath of the election - no matter the victor - as we do “The Purge” with Olof the AnarchoViking.

The Purge is an American media franchise centered on a series of dystopian action horror films distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by Blumhouse Productions and Platinum Dunes, mainly created by James DeMonaco. The films present a seemingly normal, crime free America in the near-future.

Join us next week for a special Armistice Day episode as we are joined by the great, Kyle Anzalone of the Libertarian Institute and host of Conflicts of Interest to do the listener-suggested and oft-overlooked, “The Beasts of War”.

During his travels, the Postman becomes involved with the lovely Abby (Olivia Williams) and clashes with the dictatorial Gen. Bethlehem (Will Patton).

Mellow greetings listeners.  We're about to be fined multiple credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute as we invite our maniac-friend Snobby Bobby of the Not For Everyone Podcast on to discuss the 90's classic:  "Demolition Man"

With innocent victims caught in the crossfire in Los Angeles' intensifying war on crime, both cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and violent thug Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are sentenced to a state of frozen incarceration known as "CryoPrison." When Spartan is finally thawed 36 years later, it's 2032, and Los Angeles is now a pacifist utopia called San Angeles. But with Phoenix again on the loose, Spartan must team up with future cop Lenina (Sandra Bullock) to apprehend the killer.

So sit back, enhance your calm as we open the pod to the depths of the wasteland, and explore our joy-joy feelings and try to figure out how to use the three seashells on this one.

Come back next week as we are joined once again by the great, Peter Quinones of the Free Man Beyond the Wall Podcast back to the familiar waters of Kevin Costner flicks as we will review "The Postman".
