The Real Deal Anarchy – No Rulers, Not No Rules
Robert and I discuss the movie Passengers, the Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence galactic space-travel love story with the 41% Metracritic rating! So, think a reboot of Titanic, but IN SPACE! We also do a mini/micro episode on Suicide Squad (that of a 40% Metacritic rating).
There are a couple of juicy moral questions in this one and we bite down hard. This one was fun and we hope you enjoy it!

King Kong ain’t got shit on me! No, that isn’t Harambe in the picture (may he rest in peace).
When a scientific expedition to an uncharted island awakens titanic forces of nature, a mission of discovery becomes an explosive war between monster and man.
Robert and I have a good discussion on property rights, homesteading, sentience and other topics while discussing the monster-romp Kong: Skull Island.
Spoilers. All spoilers all the time.
Enjoy!

In 2029 the mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away.
We bring on special guest, the Afro Libertarian Ryan Jones to nerd-out with us and talk about the “Wolverine movie that fans of Wolverine have been waiting for.”
So many questions come from this movie that we go for nearly two hours.
Needless to say – SPOILERS!

EDIT 4/3/2017 – as if we were Nostradamus himself, here is an article with a VP at Marvel bemoaning the spike in SJW-virtue signaling as one of the factors in a decline in sales:

In what will definitely not be considered a pro-tourism film for the country of Indonesia, we discuss the horrors on display in the film, the Act of Killing. The documentary follows a few of the executioners from the Indonesian genocide, where more than a million people were slaughtered, as they recreate their crimes to make a film of their own celebrating their actions some 45 years later. The true horror here is the mindset that these killers have maintained for half a lifetime and only through reliving the experience do they even begin to manifest humanity or exhibit any repentance for their actions.
We bring on special guest, Hinton Bowers who will be contributing as a writer for this site to talk about this movie, which was his suggestion for this show.
Look for articles from Hinton here in the coming weeks.

In a blatant attempt to ride the coattails of the new Logan movie, we bring on comic book creator, Jamie Sherman to discuss Wolverine and the work that he does in his own project, The Voluntaryist. We meander through a history of both characters and talk some self-defense scenarios. It’s a good conversation that we hope you enjoy.
Please check out the Voluntaryist in the following places:

We take the President’s Day holiday as an opportunity to examine America’s favorite president as depicted by Daniel Day-Lewis in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. Let’s just say that a Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalist perspective is not kind to old “honest” Abe.
We have a special guest, Actual Anarchy contributor, Rex Gazer. Look for articles from him on the site soon; and once he launches his own, we will push it vigorously.
From the film, we see our hero avoiding peace by delay; thus prolonging the war. Visiting the wounded (A saint!). They depict Lincoln as a deity.
I like how they painted the guy who called out Lincoln for jailing journalists, suspending habeus corpus and acting like a dictator as a smug, virulent racist. Thus, his arguments are automatically invalid.
Later in the movie, Lincoln slapped his son. That’s assault brother.
Here is Tom Woods doing a show about the Great Presidents (of course, Lincoln is #1)
Here are a few articles to review:

The movie that may have started it all! We discuss the 1990 Christian Slater flick Pump Up the Volume that features him as a shy high school teenager by day, but a pirate-radio, shock-jock host from his parents’ basement by night. He gets a local following by interacting with his audience, but runs afoul of the authorities; both local and federal. It’s a movie with a strong anti-authoritarian streak that really holds up even today, especially now that almost anybody can now have their own show (such as this one!) via the power of the internet and podcasting.

We bring on Doc Anarchy to discuss one of the most libertarian films in recent memory, the Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof – a rodeo cowboy who contracts HIV in the early days of the spread of AIDS. There is a lot to unpack in this movie and we found ourselves cheering for Ron as he battled the government that was preventing him from helping himself and helping others by establishing a market for drugs and remedies of their own choosing.
