Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

In the spirit of the great “Mister First Nighter”, Murray Rothbard’s movie critic review pen name, Robert and I analyze popular movies from a 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. Sometimes it's just the two hosts talking and sometimes featuring guests in the Liberty movement such as Walter Block, Adam Kokesh, and members of the Tom Woods Elite, and more... We publish on Sundays and for holidays or other special events as available. Like us on Facebook, Subscribe on the YouTubez, Follow us on the Twitterz, Support us on the Patreon! Maximum freedom!

    Episode 260 - Sardar Udham (1:35:09)

    Tonight we talk about a not well-known atrocity in India as told in the biopic "Sardar Udham".  This was a recommendation by a few folks who commented on some of our videos and it is a doozy. The great Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty and other projects joins us to discuss. Also, tune it for a half-announcement of sorts where we reveal some things that need to be sorted. Sort of.

    Episode 259 - Beetlejuice (1:08:02)

    We hit a stretch-goal of yet another horror film as we bleed into November as we review "Beetlejuice" with James Jenneman of the Blackbird Podcast. Released in 1988, this is Tim Burton is his element with a star-making turn by Michael Keaton as the titular character.  With Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, and Winona Ryder, this is a fun film that is parts funny, parts horror, and parts bizarre. It’s showtime! We’ll be back next year with a movie suggested to us by several YouTube commenters as our friend, Jared Wall joins us to do “Sardar Udham” which is a real-life revenge story about atrocities by the British Empire in India.

    Episode 258 - John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness (1:08:44)

    Join us for John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness with Prof CJ of the Dangerous History Podcast for a Halloween Spooktackular where no dogs are harmed. The 1987 movie Prince of Darkness is the second installment in horror director John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy. The movie is preceded by 1982's The Thing and followed by 1995's In the Mouth of Madness. This will be a fun discussion with a fan of Carpenter's who once dressed as Jack Burton for Halloween. Join us next week as we hit a stretch-goal of yet another horror film as we bleed into November as we review "Beetlejuice" with James Jenneman of the Blackbird Podcast.

    10/24/2021

    Episode 257 - Doctor Sleep (1:18:09)

    We invite the Profe$$ional A$$hole to discuss the Shining sequel, impressively of both the book and the movie versions, in 2019's "Doctor Sleep". Danny Torrance is all grownz up and still haunted by the events at the Overlook Hotel that happened when he was a child.  He drinks to hide the pain and dull his shine, following his father’s footsteps.  He gains the resolve to right himself and encounters a gifted young girl who “shines” brightly to attract psychic vampires who want to hunt her down so he must help save her and finally rid the world of the Overlook. This is a fun discussion where our guest dons the satiric persona of Alec Jones, an imaginary half-brother to the famous “conspiracy theorist” who turns out to be right...just early in many cases. We will return next week with another horror film, John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness” with the great Prof CJ of the Dangerous History Podcast.

  5. Episode 256 - Psycho (1:32:47)

    10/17/2021

    Episode 256 - Psycho (1:32:47)

    We have Snobby Bobby of the Not for Everyone Podcast on tonight to discuss the Alfred Hitchcock classic, "Psycho".   From the master of suspense, at the peak of his powers, comes a genre-defining classic that helped change an industry.  Psycho has been referenced in culture ever since it came out and in a way, it makes the twist have less of an impact, but it is a masterful film that is well worth watching. Yes mother, we will do a good show, mother. Join us next week as we continue the horror theme, not only with the film “Doctor Sleep” but also with our choice in guest, the Professional A*****e.  Boo!

  6. Episode 255 - Swing Kids (1:42:44)

    10/10/2021

    Episode 255 - Swing Kids (1:42:44)

    A longtime listener of the show, Reverend Lee, comes on to talk about “Swing Kids”. Swing Kids is a 1993 American dramatic film directed by Thomas Carter and starring Christian Bale, Robert Sean Leonard and Frank Whaley.  A group of teens adores forbidden music in Nazi Germany just before the outbreak of World. It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing. Join us next week as we change the type of horror to a more traditional one as Snobby Bobby of the Not For Everyone Podcast returns to discuss the Alfred Hitchcock classic, “Psycho.” Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/255 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

  7. Episode 254 - The Goonies (1:26:15)

    10/03/2021

    Episode 254 - The Goonies (1:26:15)

    Hey you guys!  Raylene Lightheart joins us again for a review of “The Goonies” which is prompted by me actually being in the area where it was filmed.   A group of young misfits called The Goonies discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate's long-lost treasure.  This 1985 American adventure comedy film co-produced with Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus was a nexus of Hollywood talent that launched many a career. This is a cult classic that many people still adore to this day. Join us next week as we have a new guest who is a longtime listener of the show, Reverend Lee, comes on to talk about “Swing Kids”.

  8. Episode 253 – Dirty Work (1:29:39)

    09/26/2021

    Episode 253 – Dirty Work (1:29:39)

    A bit of a somber occasion as a remembrance of the great Norm MacDonald who passed away recently with a review of a brilliant film, "Dirty Work" with the wonderful Raylene Lightheart. Dirty Work is a 1998 American comedy film starring Norm Macdonald, Artie Lange, Jack Warden, and Traylor Howard and directed by Bob Saget.  It flopped at the box office, but has since gained a cult following. While not a great film this will be more of a celebration of Norm and his body of work from calling out the Clintons on the View, his Conan appearances, and of course the original fake news on Weekend Update where he went after OJ hard and told us how murder was now legal in California.  Whatever happens, I blame Frank Stallone. Join us next week as Raylene, if she’s willing, will join us again for a review of “The Goonies” which is prompted by me actually being in the area where it was filmed.  I’ll be sure to say hi to One-Eyed Willy for ya.
