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

Author: Actual Anarchy October 24, 2021 Duration: 1:18:08
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.Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/257Presented 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.
