A bit of a somber occasion as a remembrance of the great Norm MacDonald who passed away recently with a review of a brilliant film, "Dirty Work" with the wonderful Raylene Lightheart.Dirty Work is a 1998 American comedy film starring Norm Macdonald, Artie Lange, Jack Warden, and Traylor Howard and directed by Bob Saget.  It flopped at the box office, but has since gained a cult following.While not a great film this will be more of a celebration of Norm and his body of work from calling out the Clintons on the View, his Conan appearances, and of course the original fake news on Weekend Update where he went after OJ hard and told us how murder was now legal in California. Whatever happens, I blame Frank Stallone.Join us next week as Raylene, if she's willing, will join us again for a review of “The Goonies” which is prompted by me actually being in the area where it was filmed.  I'll be sure to say hi to One-Eyed Willy for ya.Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/253Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.comRobert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective.

Facing uncertainty each day -- about the war and home -- the soldiers try to maintain composure. Join us next week as we do a review of “Havana” starring Robert Redford that sadly we will not be able to do with our guest we had lined up as Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal and Target Liberty passed away recently. This was his suggestion of a movie and so we are going to continue with it.

We ready ourselves to unplug from the May-trix with the Afrolibertarian and a discussion on the Animatrix. This is 2003 animated science fiction anthology film produced by the Wachowskis. It is a compilation of nine animated short films based on The Matrix trilogy, which was written and produced by the Wachowskis. We will have approximately 3 minutes per animated short for discussion time - this oughta be good. That wraps things up for us for May-trix. We hope you enjoyed it.

This is our Cinco de Mayo special where we review "Desperado" with Peddling Fiction who happens to be residing south of the border at this time. Desperado is a 1995 American neo-Western action film written, produced, and directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is the second part of Rodriguez's Mexico Trilogy. It stars Antonio Banderas as El Mariachi who seeks revenge on the drug lord who killed his lover. This one will be a lot of fun. ¡Ándale, ándale!

We dive into a review of Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut" with our friend Mike C. Eyes Wide Shut is a 1999 erotic mystery psychological drama film directed, produced and co-written by Stanley Kubrick. Based on the 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story) by Arthur Schnitzler, the movie transfers the story from early 20th-century Vienna to 1990s New York City. Kubrick was a master film-maker who made every scene full of meaning and symbolism, every shot a portrait or a painting and often leaves the viewer to interpret the “art” in a very subjective way. This was his last film and he died a few days after sharing the cut with the studio. We will have much to discuss on this one. Join us next week as we kick off “May-trix” with a review of the original “The Matrix” with Jeremiah of Real on Reels. We will be doing all four of the Matrix movies (including the AniMatrix) as well as a few bonus episodes.

In a perfect world, we would have recorded this a few days ago. Pipes wouldn't burst. Food poisoning wouldn't be a thing. But we don't live in a perfect world...and in fact, our world is often less perfect than it could be by those striving to make it more perfect. Yes, those with the pretense of knowledge are the very same who ignore spontaneous order and meddle with the natural and organic forces at play - causing distortions unforeseen when they would have been better off to leave it to voluntary interactions among peaceful people rather than coercively force their ill-conceived central planning. Other than Vienna Sausages being gross, what other lessons can we draw from this movie - we'll find out.

Boy was I wrong about the premise of this movie. This is an ambitious attempt at an origin story of sorts that leaves the main villains of the lore as mere side-pieces. We’ll be discussing this one with a former police officer. After the death of Richard the Lion-Hearted, a skilled archer named Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) travels to Nottingham, where villagers suffer under a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation. He meets and falls in love with a spirited widow, Marion (Cate Blanchett), although she is skeptical of his motives. Hoping to win her heart and save the village, Robin gathers a band of warriors to fight corruption in Nottingham, little knowing they will soon be fighting to save England itself. We do get some fun moments where freedom is highlighted and some Magna-Carta-esque pushback on the divine right of kings. Every Englishman’s home is his castle is a pretty strong line. We’ll be back next week with the great Pete Quinones to talk about another Kevin Costner flick, “Perfect World”.

It's our annual Easter Special with the Anarcho-Christian. Last year we did The Robe, and the year before that was The Passion of the Christ. This year we are doing an old-time classic epic as we review the Chuck Heston flick, Ben-Hur. In this 2nd of 3 adaptations of this tale of Christ, we find the Romans oppressing a people and a hero emerges among them who at first is seeking revenge for horrible wrongs, but finds forgiveness is the true power. This will be fun as we always have a great discussion with the Anarcho-Christian. Next week we will be doing the Ridley Scott version of Robin Hood with our buddy Mike T. from the Battle for Liberty show, which is presently on hiatus.

Join us as we enter the land of make believe from Mr. Rogers with our friend Dennis Foster to talk about “Logan’s Run”. In the year 2274, young residents enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle within the protective confines of a domed city. The general belief is that when each person turns 30, they are reincarnated for another blissful life cycle. Those who know the much darker truth become "runners" and flee to a hidden sanctuary. When law enforcement officer Logan (Michael York) goes undercover to locate the refuge, he winds up instead trying to initiate a revolution with runner Jessica. We have a centrally planned ERE where the computer does most things for the people so they can just hang out at the Dallas Galleria wearing ridiculous clothes. The masses are propagandized into the myth of rebirth so most willingly accept the carousel as they believe they will be reincarnated/renewed - but this has never happened. This movie almost seems prophetic in many ways.

Tonight is the return of Olof the Anarcho-viking as we discuss one of his favourite films, “Life is Beautiful”. We’ll discuss this one as we make another trek into Oscar-winning foreign films in fascist regimes after we made a pit-stop in Chinatown last week. According to Roger Ebert, for star and director, Roberto Benigni, "Life Is Beautiful" is the role he was born to play. The film falls into two parts. One is pure comedy.

We return to Castle Wolfenstein to discuss a film that depicts events that we once thought could never happen in the US. Jon Reed returns to the show to talk about the Oscar-winning foreign-language film, “The Lives of Others,” a movie about a world in which there is no justice. In 1983 East Berlin, dedicated Stasi officer Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe), doubting that a famous playwright (Sebastian Koch) is loyal to the Communist Party, receives approval to spy on the man and his actress-lover Christa-Maria (Martina Gedeck). Wiesler becomes unexpectedly sympathetic to the couple, then faces conflicting loyalties when his superior takes a liking to Christa-Maria and orders Wiesler to get the playwright out of the way. This will be a sobering discussion of a really well-done film. Next week we lighten the mood with the return of our friend Snobby Bobby as we celebrate Chinese New Year with a heaping helping of Kurt Russell in "Big Trouble in Little China".

Tonight, the stars align for La La Land. We’re going to chasse our way through this musical rom com that celebrates old Hollywood with a hint of jazz with our friend Miguel Duque of Amagi Entrepreneurs. La La Land is a 2016 American romantic musical film written and directed by Damien Chazelle. It stars Ryan Gosling as a jazz pianist and Emma Stone as an aspiring actress, who meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. I’m not sure which angle we’re going to take on this one, and though I suspect that Robert loathes musicals on principle, I have a feeling that he has a soft spot for this one. For next week we are going to do a movie that just a few months ago felt a long way off in the US, but all of the sudden it feels all too real as we explore the East German Stasi in ‘The Lives of Others’ with our good friend, Jon Reed.

We’ll be heading down under for this week's episode as we welcome back Shaheen for the Mel Gibson classic, "Mad Max". In a not-too-distant dystopian future, when man's most precious resource -- oil -- has been depleted and the world plunged into war, famine and financial chaos, the last vestiges of the law in Australia attempt to restrain a vicious biker gang. Max (Mel Gibson), an officer with the Main Force Patrol, launches a personal vendetta against the gang when his wife (Joanne Samuel) and son are hunted down and murdered, leaving him with nothing but the instincts for survival and retribution. This is one of those franchise igniting films that overperformed and sparked numerous sequels with diminishing results until being given new life in 2015 with Fury Road - which we reviewed a few years ago - and an upcoming movie centered on Furiosa to come out a few years from now. We know you’ll enjoy this one mates. Next week we will be changing our tune entirely as we welcome the return of Miguel Duque to talk about “La La Land”.

We are going to stick with the theater of the absurd as we invite Rachel Kennerly back on to talk about the Kaufman-esque, "Stranger Than Fiction". You'd think a movie where people using barbaric means to threaten violence to take away someone else's stuff would be something like "The Croods", but we live in far more "civilized" times where they do it with 4th amendment violations and forms in which you have to incriminate yourself, and if you get it wrong, you have to pay more or even go to jail. It's Stranger than Fiction, and it also happens to be the movie we are discussing with the great Rachel Kennerly. This is another movie that breaks some barriers in the story-telling and has some very choice words for one of our least-liked institutions that will be a lot of fun to discuss.

Get ready for a ride.LinksActual Anarchy PodcastActual Anarchy For Normies: The Last NightersActual Anarchy Episode on V for VendettaMurray Rothbard’s Star Wars ReviewOn Mao: The failure of the Great Leap Forward"Daniel's Personal SiteV for Vendeta stuff on AmazonJoin the Seed Summit November 17-20, 2020 (free!)(Note: We use affiliate links.

Dan from ActualAnarchy.com, who originally got me started in writing and eventually podcasting, joins me to discuss how he got into libertarianism, what he does now, and what we both hope to offer others; the ideas of peace and liberty will change many lives.

We have another special guest on to discuss the movie Selma for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Special. Ryan Jones joines us from www.theafrolibertarian.com to discuss the film, MLK's legacy and many other issues related to race and government. This is a long one...and fitting for what is our final episode as the Read Rothbard Podcast. The name will live on, but as Murray Rothbard audiobook versions of his books and articles. The show that we do will also live on as the Actual Anarchy Podcast, where we take a look at movies and events of actual anarchy that surround us every day. It is basically the same show, but we are aligning the title to match up with what we discuss; and we also have the added bonus of no longer appearing to speak for Mr. Rothbard. We hope you enjoy this show and look for us again as we launch www.ActualAnarchy.com and the Actual Anarchy Podcast. Cheers!For show notes and more, please visist: www.ReadRothbard.com/MLK_SpecialPresented by:Read Rothbard is comprised of a small group of voluntaryists who are fans of Murray N. Rothbard. We curate content on the www.ReadRothbard.com site including books, lectures, articles, speeches, and we make a weekly podcast based on his free-market approach to economics. Our focus is on education and how advancement in technology improves the living standards of the average person.The Read Rothbard Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom. We look at movies and current events from a Rothbardian Anarchist perspective. If it's voluntary, we're cool with it. If it's not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights - the core tenants of Libertarian Theory - and hence - human freedom.Website: http://www.ReadRothbard.comiTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-read-rothbard-podcast/id1166745868Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ii45fhytlsiwkw6cbgzbxi6ahmi?t=The_Read_Rothbard_PodcastFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/readrothbardclubTwitter: https://twitter.com/read_rothbardFlickr: https://www.flickr.com/gp/145447582@N05/xB4583Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ReadRothbardMurray Rothbard, Murray N Rothbard, Read Rothbard, Anarchy, Anarchism, Free-Market, Anarcho-Capitalism, News and Events, Podcast, Laissez-Faire, Voluntaryist, Voluntaryism, Non-Aggression Principle, NAP, Libertarian, Libertarianism, Economics, Austrian Economics,
