Episode 192 - Uncut Gems (1:33:37)

We’re here to talk about a more serious Adam Sandler movie, “Uncut Gems” that opens with a hole in his butt, and ends with a hole in his head. Our pal Patrick MacFarlane of Liberty Weekly joins us to discuss this movie about gambling addiction, the NBA playoffs, and precious gemstones on tonight’s episode. A charismatic jeweller makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win. Join us next weeks as we bring back our guest from our “Les Miserables” episode to discuss an anime-inspired film, “Alita Battle Angel” that has some interesting questions about sentience and self-ownership among other fun angles. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/192 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)
