Episode 207 - They Live (1:13:17)

We're joined by special guest, Robert P. Murphy of the Bob Murphy Show to talk about John Carpenter's "They Live'. He is here to chew bubblegum and talk about They Live, and he’s all out of bubble gum. Fear the Murph! They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live. Horror master John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) directs this heart-pounding thriller. Aliens are systematically gaining control of the earth by masquerading as humans and lulling the public into submission. Humanity's last chance lies with a lone drifter who stumbles upon a harrowing discovery - a unique pair of sunglasses that reveal the terrifying and deadly truth. Bob did an episode on his show about the movie last year so we will discuss some of his points and give our own take as well. Out of Frame by FEE just released a video on "They Live" as well that we will reference on this one and post on the show notes page. Join us next week for the return of the great Peter R. Quinones for another round of Costner epics as we review Oliver Stone's, "JFK". Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/207 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)
