Episode 223: Episode 223 - Trumbo (1:44:36)

We celebrate the return of the great Keith Knight as we discuss the HUAC-related “Trumbo” about Hollywood players getting blacklisted for being accused of harboring communist sympathies. In 1947, successful screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) and other Hollywood figures get blacklisted for their political beliefs. This is a movie that's hard to not root for the guy as this is a very nuanced discussion that we will bring a bunch of different perspectives to. Next week will be the return of the Professional A$$hole to discuss a very interesting film starring Mel Gibson and Sean Penn all about cataloging language and written understanding with a review of "The Professor and the Madman". Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/223 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)
