Episode 218: Episode 218 - La La Land (1:11:36)

Tonight, the stars align for La La Land. We’re going to chasse our way through this musical rom com that celebrates old Hollywood with a hint of jazz with our friend Miguel Duque of Amagi Entrepreneurs. La La Land is a 2016 American romantic musical film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It stars Ryan Gosling as a jazz pianist and Emma Stone as an aspiring actress, who meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. I’m not sure which angle we’re going to take on this one, and though I suspect that Robert loathes musicals on principle, I have a feeling that he has a soft spot for this one. For next week we are going to do a movie that just a few months ago felt a long way off in the US, but all of the sudden it feels all too real as we explore the East German Stasi in ‘The Lives of Others’ with our good friend, Jon Reed. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/218 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)
