The Beast of War - Free-market Film Analysis

We welcome the great, Kyle Anzalone of the Libertarian Institute on to discuss an under-appreciated and listener-suggested war movie, "The Best of War", just in time for Armistice Day. Our listener, Nick, had the following to say (paraphrased): "...I stumbled across a movie I had never heard of, it completely blew me away and so ever since I've been desperately trying to convince everyone across movie fandom to give it a shot and hopefully drag out of complete obscurity...I kid you not when I say this is the best Hollywood film you've never heard of. Quentin Tarantino's old writing partner Roger Avery has it down as the best movie of 1988 and he also has it down as one of his 20 desert island films with 'Apocalypse now' being the only other war film...if you do see it, let me know if you agree with me that this might be one of the 10 best American movies of the 1980s, one way or another we need to find a way to raise this movie's profile and prevent it from continual obscurity once and for all." Looks like a winner to me and we know Kyle, who was our guest on another war movie a few years ago called "War Machine" will bring a lot to the discussion as he is a machine when it comes to reporting on this topic on his show "Conflicts of Interest" with his co-host Will Porter. And if this wasn't enough goodness, we're going to be having special guest, Robert P. Murphy of the Bob Murphy Show on next week to talk about John Carpenter's "They Live”.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
