Episode 224: Episode 224 - The Professor and the Madman (1:36:33)
from Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective · host Actual Anarchy
The Professional A$$hole joins us 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". The Professional is a bit of a linguist enthusiast and will bring some fun insight into this film. We'll be back next week with the return of Jared Wall to talk about a film right up Robert's alley in Jon Favreau's "Chef". Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/224 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)
