Actual Anarchy Podcast

Easy as ABC, we'll have some good vibrations and some sweeeet sensations as we tackle the question on raising a child and if it takes a village. Our guest for The Village is back again to discuss the Marky Mark and the Brady Bunch film, "Instant Family" as our Mother's Day lockdown episode. It's our friend, the lovely, Rachel Kennerly of "Cannabis Heals Me" joining us for this conversation.A married couple, Pete and Ellie Wagner, decide to adopt Lizzy, a teenager.

One of my favorite movies tonight, Napoleon Dynamite. We are joined by a man with some great skills. Bo staff skills. Computer hacking skills. Entrepreneurship skills. It's Miguel Duque of Amagi Entrepreneurs. We will answer the question of if the chickens have large talons in this flippin' sweet episode where we don't forget to put in the crystals.In small-town Preston, Idaho, awkward teen Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) has trouble fitting in. After his grandmother is injured in an accident, his life is made even worse when his strangely nostalgic uncle, Rico (Jon Gries), shows up to keep an eye on him. With no safe haven at home or at school, Napoleon befriends the new kid, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), a morose Hispanic boy who speaks little English. Together the two launch a campaign to run for class president.Things start getting pretty serious on this episode as we move 8,000 chickens to their new cages for like a dollar an hour.Join us next week for a Mother's Day episode with the great, Rachel Kennerly o

We are about to kick some ass on Kick-Ass with our kickass guest, Raylene Lightheart and she makes her return to the show to talk about everyday people becoming heroes and some of the consequences therein.Using his love for comics as inspiration, teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) decides to reinvent himself as a superhero -- despite a complete lack of special powers. Dave dons a costume, dubs himself "Kick-Ass," and gets to work fighting crime. He joins forces with the father/daughter vigilante team of Big Daddy and Hit Girl, then befriends another fledgling crime-fighter called Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), but a scheming mobster soon puts their alliance to the test.Join us next week as we vote for Pedro with Miguel Duque for like a dollar an hour to talk about "Napoleon Dynamite".Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/178Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We jump ahead a few years with returning guest, Dr. Dennis Foster, and see what more than two years of quarantine might do to a city and a people. 2022, New York City - 40 million people are living on top of each other after the scares of overpopulation and global warming myth become reality. That’s right, we're doing a back-to-back Richard Burton vs. Chuck Heston - battle royale - this time for all the marbles.In a densely overpopulated, starving New York City of the future, NYPD detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) investigates the murder of an executive at rations manufacturer Soylent Corporation. With the help of elderly academic Solomon "Sol" Roth (Edward G. Robinson), Thorn begins to make real progress -- until the governor mysteriously pulls the plug. Obsessed with the mystery, Thorn steps out from behind the badge and launches his own investigation into the murder.This one hits home and is more relevant than ever as things we thought impossible are rapidly becoming our new reality and way of lif

We did "The Passion of the Christ" last year telling the story of the Crucifixion, this year is an appropriate continuation of that story as we get some of the periphery and aftermath as we talk about "The Robe" with the Anarcho-Christian.In this biblical epic, a drunk and disillusioned Roman, Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton), wins Jesus' robe in a dice game after the crucifixion. Marcellus has never been a man of faith like his slave, Demetrius (Victor Mature), but when Demetrius escapes with the robe, Marcellus experiences disturbing visions and feels guilty for his actions. Convinced that destroying the robe will cure him, Marcellus sets out to find Demetrius -- and discovers his Christian faith along the way.There's a strong anti-state message against the tyrant Caligula at the end, for which the sentence is death.We're doing a back-to-back Richard Burton vs. Chuck Heston - battle royale as we do "Soylent Green" next week for Earf Day with Dr. Dennis Foster.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/176P

C’mon and ride the train and ride it. Eugenics to control the balance of the population to allocate resources. Caste-class with no mobility. False flag and manipulation on the grand chessboard to control the narrative into a believable story like in the Matrix. We bring on Olof the Anarcho-Viking to take on this tail of class warfare and bioengineering gone wrong.We’ll be back next week to do an egg hunt of an Easter episode with the Anarcho Christian as we discuss the Richard Burton classic, “The Robe”.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/175Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

This is what a Police Story looks like. We get a view of Hong Kong in the 80's back when the police had quaint levels of authority. Sharply contrast that with the jackboot tactics of late that have stifled protest and dissent. We invite Shaine Scalph of HAPA Supremacy / What’s HAPAning to discuss the Jackie Chan action-classic, "Police Story". An honest Hong Kong cop protecting a Triad boss's girlfriend-turned-informer, finds himself framed for the murder of a dirty cop and going on the run. The movie mixes slapstick with wild stunts and features some painful outtakes during the final credits.Join us next week as we hop on the train to egalitarianism and talk about “Snowpiercer” with Olof the Anarcho-Viking.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/174Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We wanted to reach out today and assure you that we are monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation closely and are working to ensure we meet the needs of our customers as well as provide for the health and safety of our employees. We realize this health situation has already been disruptive to many businesses across the globe and wanted to share facts about what we're doing to support both our customers and employees.Tonight, we will be discussing the movie, "And the Band Played On" with returning guest, Jon Reed. We will be discussing pandemics in general and as related to the AIDS epidemic as depicted in the film.We are taking preventative measures during this time of crisis.

Robert and I are both in FEMA region X, and Jon will be broadcasting from FEMA region III.Join us next week as we invite Shaine Scalph of HAPA Supremecy to discuss the Jackie Chan action-classic, "Pol

Just in case there wasn't enough toxic masculinity last week, we are going to up the dose tonight as we discuss the "Edge of Darkness" with the Professional Asshole.When the only daughter of a Boston homicide detective, Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson), is shot on his doorstep, everyone assumes that he was the intended target. Then evidence suggests otherwise, and Craven sets out to find her killer and, in the process, uncovers her secret life, corporate coverups, government collusion, and murder.Mel Gibson plays the same role he often plays as an aggrieved man seeking justice for something done wrong to a family member. The old man's still got it in this one that marks his return to acting after a bit of an unplanned hiatus. We’ll talk about whistle-blowers, trusting the politicians and the false flags on this one - it gets a little spicy, but nothing our audience can't handle.Join us next week, if we're still around, to talk about another virus and the panic that ensued from it when we talk about HIV and AIDS fo

We reach way back into Elizabeth Warren’s family tree to the colonial period in America. After our recent episode tracking the course of disease from Bats in Australia for “Batman” through the pandemic spreading across the land in “Contagion”, now it’s time to break out the Smallpox blankets for Michael Mann’s take on “The Last of the Mohicans”.The last members of a dying Native American tribe, the Mohicans -- Uncas (Eric Schweig), his father Chingachgook (Russell Means), and his adopted half-white brother Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) -- live in peace alongside British colonists. But when the daughters (Madeleine Stowe, Jodhi May) of a British colonel are kidnapped by a traitorous scout, Hawkeye and Uncas must rescue them in the crossfire of a gruesome military conflict of which they wanted no part: the French and Indian War.Just in case that wasn’t enough toxic masculinity for you, we’ll be sure to double-up next week as we bring back the Professional Asshole to discuss the Mel Gibson flick, “Edge of Darkness

We are joined by Raylene Lightheart and her lesser-half to talk about the movie "Contagion" about a global pandemic that some have mistaken as footage of current events. This should be a healthy discussion on a serious topic that will be both thought-provoking and entertaining.With the COVID-19 Coronavirus seemingly creating a panic worldwide where even Costcos in the US are having trouble keeping up with demand, it's a timely movie to be discussing. There is this weird mix of withholding and downplaying information to what appears to be fear-mongering and the use of the handling of the "crisis" as a bludgeon against the opposing sides in an already testy election cycle.Join us next week as we welcome back to the stage, Mr. Mike C. to discuss yet another Michael Mann film, "The Last of the Mohicans".Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/170Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

It’s hard to believe it was over 30 years ago that this movie kicked off the comic book movie era once again (and nearly killed it a few sequels later). We are of course talking about Tim’ Burton’s Batman from 1989.We bring back Shaheen, our man from Adelaide for this one as he is our go-to for all things Batman and DCEU.Set the scene: the last time we see Batman and Joker on screen, it's Adam West and Cesar Romero surfing with sharks that Fonzie later jumped over, anti-shark spray in the campy 60's TV show. Then you've got the director of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure making a film starring Mr. Mom as Barman, and of the the great actors of his generation dictating his own shooting schedule complete with top-billing. To say people were concerned would be an understatement.Next week, we come down with something as we bring back Raylene Lightheart and her lesser-half for a discussion of “Contagion”.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/169Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies fr

We're the captains now, with our pal Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty. This is a Valentine's Day episode for us, which we will elaborate on during the show. Everything is going to be OK.In April 2009, the U.S. containership Maersk Alabama sails toward its destination on a day that seems like any other. Suddenly, Somali pirates race toward the vessel, climb aboard and take everyone hostage. The captain of the ship, Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), looks to protect his crew from the hostile invaders, and their leader, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). The pirates are after millions of dollars, and Phillips must use his wits to make sure everyone survives and returns home safely.Join us next week on this same bat-channel, at this same bat-time as we bring back Shaheen to discuss Tim Burton's "Batman" from 1989 starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/168Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We're professional appreciators and don our Cosby sweaters to talk about "High Fidelity" with one of our Top 5 guests, Nicky P. of the recently rebranded Peace Freqs.

Lloyd back to the show for our Groundhog's Day episode to talk about the Tom Cruise flick, Edge of Tomorrow. We venture into and pick apart the internal logic of the film, which kinda ruins it in some ways. However, it is still an enjoyable popcorn flick that gave us plenty to talk about in our wide-ranging discussion that covers red flag laws, conspiracy vs. reality, Alex Jones and more.Join us next week as we bring you the origin of the Kathleen Turner Overdrive as we discuss "High Fidelity" with Nicky P of Peace Freqs (formerly known as Sounds Like Liberty).Show Notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/166Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We talk about the Matthew McConaughey movie, "Gold" with Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty. He was our guest recently for the Breaking Bad movie, “El Camino” and he suggested this one while we were doing that episode. “Gold” is an unbelievable story based on true events, and it gets more fantastical at every turn, and even includes helicopter rides. This was a lot of fun to talk about.See you next week as we discuss the Netflix documentary about kratom called “A Leaf of Faith” with John Bush of Brave Botanicals.Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/164Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

We invite back Rachel Kennerly of "Cannabis Heals Me" to discuss M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village". The movie has the expected twist that has become on of Shyamalan's tropes, however, I think the twist we will have on this will be even better.The premise of the movie will give us plenty of fodder for discussion as we get into instilling fear to maintain control as the benevolent overseers infantilize the populace for their own good, the greater good - or do they?Join us next week as Scott Morrison returns to talk about "Enemy at the Gates".Show notes: http://www.actualanarchy.com/161Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert 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.

To celebrate the ringing in of the new year, we harken back to the auld rom-com well with a double-dose of both crude humor and witty charm in the holiday classic, "When Harry Met Sally".When we decide to have someone to have as a guest on this here show, we want to have them on as soon as possible.
