Episode 249: Episode 249 - The Croods (1:26:13)

Author: Actual Anarchy August 29, 2021 Duration: 1:26:13
Rachel Kennerly of Just Add Liberty and Cannabis Heals Me returns to the stone-age with us to discuss “The Croods” in what may be a glimpse of civilization’s future if we continue on the current trajectory.An eccentric cave family named the Croods – consisting of Grug, Eep, Ugga, Thunk, Sandy, and Gran – survive several natural disasters, predatory animals and the common cold by sheltering inside a dark cave, merely surviving.  Is such a life worth living?  Eep is dissatisfied with the over-protective nature of her father Grug “protecting” her from everything.  She’d rather a dangerous liberty than a temporarily calm “safety”.Rachel is a lot of fun and we will have a great time discussing this with her.Join us next week as the great, Pete Quinones returns for only his second non-Kevin Costner movie and we delve into some vintage James Woods and talk about “Salvador” directed by Oliver Stone.Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/249Presented 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)

Ever wondered what a blockbuster action film or a quiet indie drama looks like through the lens of voluntary society and radical liberty? That’s the unique territory explored in Actual Anarchy Podcast-AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective. Hosted by Robert and another enthusiast, this show picks apart popular films, using their narratives as a gateway into anarcho-capitalist thought. The conversation often centers on character decisions and plot twists, scrutinizing them against concepts of morality and the non-aggression principle. It’s a format inspired by Murray Rothbard’s own foray into film criticism under his "Mister First Nighter" pen name, applying that same spirited, analytical eye to modern cinema. While the movies provide the common ground, the discussions frequently branch into deeper philosophical territory, making complex ideas accessible. Each episode is more than a simple review; it's an unpacking of the societal assumptions and ethical frameworks presented on screen. Listeners will hear detailed breakdowns of specific scenes, debates on property rights as depicted in film, and explorations of whether a character's actions constituted aggression or justified defense. The Actual Anarchy podcast doesn’t just tell you if a movie is good or bad-it asks what the story reveals about our accepted notions of state, power, and individual sovereignty. It’s for film fans curious about alternative political philosophy and for liberty-minded folks looking for engaging, pop-culture-focused commentary.
