Episode 217: Episode 217 - Mad Max (1:18:06)

Actual Anarchy Podcast - AnCap Movie Reviews from a Rothbardian Perspective

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”.

Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com
Robert 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.
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 at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests.
