Japanese Classical Literature at Bedtime: Recent Episodes
Actual Anarchy
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.

We are joined by a yout from the Liberty Weekly Podcast to discuss a lawyer-themed movie, My Cousin Vinny. That's right, Patrick MacFarlane is joining us to discuss another movie based on lawyering, and it should be a great time as we explore this Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei flick that still holds up to this day.
Two naive youts traveling from New York City to college in California drive through Alabama and are erroneously arrested, and accused of homicide. Luckily, one of them has a cousin who's an attorney - Vincent Gambini, a previous auto repairman from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his 6th attempt. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he lands with his leather-clad fashionista sweetheart, to attempt his first case, hilarity ensues - for him and the deep South!
Join us next week for our St. Patrick’s Day episode where we analyze a Chinese movie about Japanese occupation with a guy from Texas, the Anarchist Luke Tatum of the Culture of Peace Podcast.

We do an analysis of the Coen Brothers latest effort, the Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It's a series of 6-western themed vignettes with the requisite Coen-quirkiness. Each story has a few interesting points for the sake of our discussion...and what do you know, it comes out to enough for a show.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs recounts the narrative of a sharp-shooting vocalist. In Near Algodones, a would be bank-robber gets his due to say the very least. Meal Ticket is a dreary story around two fatigued weary traveling entertainers. All Gold Canyon is an nearly one man show about a miner digging for gold, while a lady finds a startling level of adoration, alongside a portion of life's savage incongruity, on a wagon train over the prairies in The Gal Who Got Rattled. And lastly, spooky feels frequent The Mortal Remains as a Woman downpours judgment upon a diverse group of fellow carriage companions each with a different philosophy on life.
We throw about ten minutes at each story and this falls right into Robert’s wheelhouse. Join us for the lively discussion.
And next week, get ready, we’re doing the goofy classic My Cousin Vinny with our lawyer friend, and fellow podcaster, Patrick MacFarlane of the Liberty Weekly Podcast.

We don our super suits one more time and get back into the fray with Incredibles 2. Brad Bird is posing some questions here that we really enjoyed even though the movie plot has a few holes and never truly resolves.
Helen is called on to help bring Supers back, and Bob must juggle the daily heroics of home life. But when a new villain arises with a sinister plot, the Parrs meet the challenge together!
We'll be back next with the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, catch the newest Coen brothers film on Netflix and then give us a listen.

A tribute episode to our friend Lewis Liberman to discuss one of his favorite films, Terry Gilliam's noir steampunk, "Brazil".
It’s a movie about bureaucracy and totalitarian control with a populace of lobotomized passivity of consumerism. Mistaken identity due to a clerical error leads to government kidnapping and coverup intermixed with heroic dream sequences of saving himself from himself? Perhaps it's all in his head. And remember, information is prosperity. Don't suspect a friend. Report him.
There's a “happy” version where he awakes from the nightmare with the woman he thought had died. In the director’s version discussed in this episode, the dream is the happy version in his lobotomized state of sitting in a chair with a grin as he finally escapes the horror of his world.

We are joined by special guest, Alex Hay, to sing our way through the 2012 musical version of Victor Hugo’s, “Les Miserables”.
The film takes place in France during the early 19th century and tells the story of Jean Valjean who, while being hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. The story reaches resolution against the background of the June Rebellion.
It's a story of redemption for one character, and a relentless pursuit for another. There is love at first sight in the midst of a revolution that will never come.
Join us next week as we cover the movie "Brazil" in tribute to our friend, Lewis Liberman.

A B-movie/war movie that is so over the top that it is actually an anti-war movie. Back when the left was dependably against war.
Mike C. joins us again to do his part as we discuss one of his favorite movies.
We also discuss how they acquired rights to Heinlein novel for the name and some characters, but is pretty much the opposite of the sentiment of the novel and was already written prior to said acquisition. In fact, the director couldn't even get through the novel.
This may be one of the great troll jobs in film history.

We are joined by Mike C. to discuss the Michael Mann, Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx vehicle, Collateral.
This is a tense thriller centered on a cabby with bigger dreams who is holding himself back while waiting for perfection, meanwhile his opposite who improvises with ruthless efficiency in his job as a hitman brings the cabby to a point of self-actualization under extreme pressure in a bid to save his own life and another.

The noble lie for the greater good. The all-purpose excuse for tyranny the world over. Is it better to live in a blissful ignorance, protected and coddled your entire lives; or is it better to be aware of the dangers and the opportunities available to you so you can make your own choices?

Time is a construct.
Mirrors let you move through time. The government monitors people, they pay people to pretend to be your relatives and they put drugs in your food and they film you.
There’s messages in every game. Like Pac-Man. Do you know what the PAC stands for? P-A-C: Program and Control.
He's program and control man, it's a metaphor. He thinks he's got free will but really he's trapped in a maze, in a system, all he can do is consume, he's pursued by demons that are probably just in his own head, and even if he does manage to escape by slipping out one side of the maze, what happens? He comes right back in the other side.
People think it's a happy game.
I've set you free.
We will be back next week to talk about Smallfoot with our guest, Rocky Ferrenburg.

Charles Bronson vs. Bruce Willis (who would win?)
The original is one of the classic revenge thrillers that has that satisfying edge of the bad guys getting what’s coming to them. Also shows the incompetence of government to “solve” the problem and how individuals accepting the responsibility for their own safety is a much more effective solution.
The remake has a similar air to it, but tones down the social commentary by our hero and focuses more on the cat and mouse with the ridiculous final villain.
In both however, the government has a monopoly on police services and has no incentive to actually solve the problem. Their biggest concern is “how it looks”, so they bury statistics that are unfavorable to their perception. Another funny thing was how hard they were hunting the “vigilante” and they had literally dozens of people in the room all working the case - such a huge waste of resources.
Come back next week for our episode on Smallfoot with special guest, Rocky Ferrenburg.

It's college bowl season and very nearly the NFL playoffs, so we thought we'd throw you a couple of curve balls.
First, Robert is a feeble and sickly old man, so a fine gentleman who has a new, and quite good, podcast has picked up temporary guardianship of the co-hosting duties. He is Dann Reid of the Culinary Libertarian, and you can find his work at http://www.culinarylibertarian.com
Which leads us to the second curve ball, and that is the choice of film for discussion will now be a more food-focused fare of the Disney/Pixar, in Brad Bird's Ratatouille.
The good news is, Robert will be playing the role of Gusteau's ghost and we already have his take on this movie from back in our Read Rothbard days, and will post that on the show notes page.
For those of you wishing for Death Wish, just keep wishing for one more week...and like the genies we are, we shall grant that wish as the first episode of the new year.

We welcome Olaf the Anarcho-Viking to discuss a film about the King of the Scots, Robert the Bruce and his struggle for a more local authority against King Edward of England in the new Netflix movie starring Chris Pine Outlaw King.
This episode features the work of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and specifically his book, Democracy the God that Failed, prominently.
This is essentially the continuing saga of the struggle of the Scots to be free of foreign rule that could be considered a sequel to Braveheart.

We tackle a listener-suggested movie in Johnny Knoxville's Action Point. As he says, it's a mixed bag, but has some pretty good libertarianish points in it.
The whole movie is about a guy fighting regulations, litigiousness, and political correctness culture with an emphatic emphasis on personal responsibility - with stunts - all wrapped around a nothing story with a flimsy plot. This one was a lot of fun.
We will back next week discussing the Outlaw King, available now on Netflix.

It’s December so come in and cozy up by the fires of Mount Doom. We venture into Mordor with the Anarchist Mom to talk about one of her favorites in novel and film lore, the Lord of the Rings. It is one of our favorite movies and it has some interesting themes that when viewed from a Rothbardian perspective, are quite compelling. Though Tolkien was not a fan of allegory, you can clearly see the influence that his ideological beliefs had in his work which has influenced generations in the genre.

Thanks for sticking with us as we are fixin' to unpack a Turducken of an episode in preparation for the Thanksgiving week.
This week's show is about the Tom Cruise movie, American Made, where the questions of legality somehow apply differently if you’re doing it for the “good” guys.
This international escapade is based on the outrageous, true exploits of a hustler and pilot recruited to run one of the biggest covert operations in U.S. history. Based on an incredible true story of the CIA's biggest secret.
Barry Seal is an impetuous and bored pilot who gets leveraged into doing more and more compromising activities for the CIA, the Contras in Nicaragua, and the Medellín Cartel down in Colombia. Once they get their foot in the door, there’s no way out for our hero.
Join us next week as we’re gonna wreck it on “Wreck-it Ralph”!
