We bring you the origin of the Kathleen Turner Overdrive as we discuss “High Fidelity” with one of our Top 5 guests, Nicky P of Peace Freqs (formerly known as Sounds Like Liberty).

We’re professional appreciators and don our Cosby sweaters to get into this one. There’s plenty to discuss in this music-inspired movie with a music-minded guest as we review this film, which is unassailably cool.

Let’s get it on.

Google Description for the film

High Fidelity

Rob Gordon (John Cusack) is the owner of a failing record store in Chicago, where he sells music the old-fashioned way — on vinyl. Although they have an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and are consumed by the music scene, it’s of no help to Rob, whose needle skips the love groove when his long-time girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), walks out on him. As he examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the process finds him being dragged, kicking and screaming, into adulthood.

Our Guest:

Our guest is Nicky P of the new “Peace Freqs” podcast (his previous show was called “Sounds Like Liberty Podcast”).  He also does “Free Markets, Green Earth” which is about how the best way to solve environmental problems is via the free market, and he also curates a show that introduces listeners to new shows in the libertarian sphere by highlighting 5 clips per episode of various shows to help people find new content that resonates with them. You can find all of his stuff at:  http://www.nickpecone.com

Nick also has yet another show called “Parent 2 Podcaster” which is to help people who have both podcasts and kids share tips on how to manage the challenges of doing both amidst the distractions and still getting content created. I was a recent guest and you can check out that interview here:

He also is featured on the Launchpad Media (like our Last Nighters version) and collaborates with our guest from last week, Luke Tatum on a project called “Freedom 365” which is a paid-service to get libertarian inspired songs and clever write-ups delivered to your email every day of the year.

All for a measly $5 bucks a month.

Here are his previous appearances on the show with us:

Episode 142 – Chernobyl (1:16:48)

Episode 121 – Dark City (59:51)

We will be sure to invite him back again some time for another John Cusack film (probably “War, Inc.”) in the near future.

Show Notes:

“Some people have asked why the change from Kathleen Turner Overdrive,” comments Judd. “They say I owe it to myself, to my friends, to my parents to keep KTO going, but I think I owe it to myself to go right to the edge. And Barry Jive does exactly that — over the edge, in fact. We want a reaction, and if lawyer bourgeois fans can’t take it, fuck them. Let ’em riot. We can take it. We’re fucking Barry Jive & the Uptown Five.”

We’ll be back next week to do the Valentine’s Day film, “Captain Phillips” with our friend Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty.

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
