Episode 138 – Justice League (1:29:16)

We’re back and we’re ringing a bell. We’ll wrap up “Batman v Superman” and also tackle the debacle that is “Justice League”. Our man from Adelaide joins us once again to put on a clinic on the DCEU and try to make sense of it all. We also have a discussion on the Marvel movies from the MCU, with a little “Man of Steel” spice added in for flavor with our Australian friend, Shaheen.

Batman, Wonder Woman and an all-star team of superheroes race to stop a new super-villain from destroying Earth in this continuation of the DECU. Picking up where Batman v Superman leaves off, this follows the aftermath of the death of Superman and the assembling of a new group of heroes to unite and fight a new threat. This is a bit of a Frankenstein’s monster of a film that had a director change midway that ended up in a budget-busting (and narrative destroying) re-shoot where 2-1/2 hours of Snyder’s footage got cut, leaving only 1/2 of the film with the original filming and the other half with Joss Whedon’s quippy nonsense.

After his fairly successful defense of the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, Shaheen tells us more about the 5-movie plot that was Zack Snyder’s vision and hope that one day we see it come to fruition in one form or another. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

Google Description

Justice League

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Our guest is Shaheen the Anarcap.  He is a Rothbardian Ancap mechatronic engineering student living in Australia, though he was born in Iran. Interests include, but are not limited to, studying libertarian political philosophy, Austrian economics, and evolutionary psychology, playing basketball, golf and Crash Bandicoot.

He writes for Backwordz Music and Actual Anarchy.  He has been a guest on the show several times in the past, specializing in Batman and Bruce Willis movies.

Here are his previous appearances:

Episode 28 – The Dark Knight Part 1 (1:09:40)

Episode 29 – The Dark Knight Part 2 (1:38:02)

Episode 42 – The Dark Knight Rises (1:05:40)

Episode 54 – Die Hard (1:16:46)

Episode 96 – The Dark Knight Returns (57:43)

Episode 135 – Batman v Superman (1:17:37)

And here is Robert and me discussing “Man of Steel” a few years ago. This was one of our more popular episodes for some reason:

Episode 46 – Man of Steel (1:22:39)

Again, not much in the way of show notes. But Robert did find these hilarious and cutting parody videos on the pitch-meetings for both “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League”:

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!

The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist 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.

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 new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).

For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:

ABOUT

Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.

We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.

Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.

Actual Anarchy is real world examples of anarchy in action.

Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom
