Episode 106 - Action Point (106:30)
from Japanese Classical Literature at Bedtime
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. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/106 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert 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)
