Episode 60 - Gamer (47:55)

We discuss the 2009 Gerard Butler vehicle, GAMER, about live-action video-gaming of real live players, both in a simulated world where anything goes; and a Running Man/Gladiator-style fight for freedom from the dystopian prison system. Though not a great movie, Robert and I find plenty to discuss in this one. Worth seeing if you want to dig into some of the deeper questions out of a movie that tries really, really hard to be flash in the pan. Show notes and more at: https://www.actualanarchy.com/60 Presented by www.ActualAnarchy.com Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist 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. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
