Episode 249: Episode 249 - The Croods (1:26:13)

Rachel Kennerly of Just Add Liberty and Cannabis Heals Me returns to the stone-age with us to discuss “The Croods” in what may be a glimpse of civilization’s future if we continue on the current trajectory. An eccentric cave family named the Croods – consisting of Grug, Eep, Ugga, Thunk, Sandy, and Gran – survive several natural disasters, predatory animals and the common cold by sheltering inside a dark cave, merely surviving.  Is such a life worth living?  Eep is dissatisfied with the over-protective nature of her father Grug “protecting” her from everything.  She’d rather a dangerous liberty than a temporarily calm “safety”. Rachel is a lot of fun and we will have a great time discussing this with her. Join us next week as the great, Pete Quinones returns for only his second non-Kevin Costner movie and we delve into some vintage James Woods and talk about “Salvador” directed by Oliver Stone. Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/249 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)
