Episode 238: Episode 238 - Law Abiding Citizen (1:31:28)
from Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective · host Actual Anarchy
We mark the return with Ben Johnson of "Gentlemen Broncos" fame to do the Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx vehicle, "Law Abiding Citizen". Law Abiding Citizen is a 2009 American vigilante action thriller film directed by F. Gary Gray about a frustrated man who decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets one of his family’s murderers free. This one will be biblical. Next week we will be doing “Sound of Metal” with Rocky Ferrenburg ,and in two weeks we will have James Jenneman of Blackbird on to talk about the Robin Williams / Nathan Lane comedy, “The Birdcage”. Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/238 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)
