As announced on our most recent shows, we will be transitioning "the Read Rothbard Podcast" to audiobooks of Murray's books and articles. The second post is his "Economic Depressions: Their Cause and Cure" which is a great follow-up to last week's "Anatomy of the State".

As announced on our most recent shows, we will be transitioning "the Read Rothbard Podcast" to audiobooks of Murray's books and articles. The first post is his "Anatomy of the State" which is a great red-pill, gateway drug for a lot of people to finally see the state for what it is; and what it is not. The former "Read Rothbard Podcast" where we ta…

We have another special guest on to discuss the movie Selma for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Special.

Episode 34 - Rat-a-shooty (1:02:42) 1:02:42

8y ago1:02:42

1:02:42

We compare and contrast Disney/Pixar's Ratatouille and Morgan Spurlock's Rats from a non-aggression principled stance. Do not watch the Spurlock movie before the Pixar movie - as it changes the whole thing. Are sentient rats capable of understanding property rights; can they steal? Are we justified in setting traps or shooting them? We discuss thes…

Episode 33 - Hell or Fractional Reserve Banking (53:01) 53:01

A Very Murray Christmas Carol 44:51

8y ago44:51

44:51

Murray Christmas! We discuss Charles Dickens and his holiday story A Christmas Carol and how it is an anti-capitalist, anti-industrial revolution propaganda piece used to argue for additional government interventions. From the anecdotal testimony that is used to play on emotion vs. the reality of actual improvement in living standard (so long as th…

Episode 31 - Inconceivable! 1:07:23

8y ago1:07:23

1:07:23

We didn't say the word Inconceivable while discussing the great Princess Bride movie, which is in itself inconceivable. Robert lists this as one of his favorite movies and we endeavor to pack a few libertarian messages into this familiar story. Also, spoiler alert, I make a mistake on a word definition that Robert is correct on - and I smugly, and …

Episode 30 - Sh!tiocracy: A Documentary? (1:20:49) 1:20:49

8y ago1:20:49

1:20:49

We discuss the narrative that Idiocracy is currently viewed as a prescient documentary that foretold today's events regarding Trump being elected President. We argue that this may be true, but not in the way that they think. It is the echo-chamber of social media that allowed people to be blindsided to the Trump-phenomenon and the current attack on…

Episode 29 - DFreedom Unchained (1:32:43) 1:32:43

8y ago1:32:43

1:32:43

We talk about DJango Unchained and some of the various NAP violations contained therein. As it's a Tarantino movie, there are aplenty. We also talk about copyright and counterfeiting where we mostly raise questions and don't have super solid answers. We hope it is at least entertaining.

Episode 28 - the Usual Statists 58:24

8y ago58:24

58:24

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world that he didn't exist." As it is with Verbal Kint in the Usual Suspects, the true evil is just under your nose for the entire film. He engenders himself to the detectives with requests for help, saying he likes cops, spinning yarns, all to distract from the monster beneath. This is …

Episode 27 - Black Friday Fight Club 1:37:28

1:37:28

We talk Fight Club and the annual tradition of Black Friday where people line up in the wee hours after Thanksgiving to get into actual fights over Wal-Mart toasters. We also touch on the death of Castro and how leftists and world leaders (but I digress) are taking the news. For show notes and more, please visit: http://www.readrothbard.com/episode…

1:50:31

Double Rainbow of Schadenfreude! We mix it up about the stunning presidential result with Trump defeating the shoe-in Clinton. We recall a play-by-play of our updates to each other as it was happening. Pretty fun stuff. Of course, we don't support either candidate, but it is fun to see the expected winning side lose their collective shit in an ocea…

Episode 25 - Enter the Interstellar Flood 1:17:57

8y ago1:17:57

1:17:57

Episode 25! Can't believe we made it this far. In this episode, we are discussing/dismantling Interstellar and Before the Flood. They both call for massive, collective response to a "crisis". Examples of World Wars, the Great Depression, NASA and the moon landings, the Manhattan Project seem to be ingrained in the culture as problems only collectiv…

Episode 24 - Wolverines! Red Dawn (1:54:42) 1:54:42

8y ago1:54:42

1:54:42

We are back at it again discussing the 1984 cult-classic, Red Dawn. Is there a libertarian thread? There seems to be. This is a long and rambling podcast almost 2 HOURS long! We also spend a fair amount of time discussing the recent Stefan Molyneux video where he appears to be breaking up with libertarianism. It's an interesting conversation and we…

Episode 23 - Ene-muh of the State (55:31) 55:31

8y ago55:31

55:31

We discuss the 1998 Will Smith/Gene Hackman film. The election and how the media is in the tank for Hillary. We aren't fans of Trump either, but it is full-press against him in the press. We hope that this whole farce shakes the confidence that people blindly have granted democracy. Robert also brings up the hypocrisy surrounding legal vs. illegal …

We're a bunch of lying liars! We said more frequency! We said shorter shows! Well, here we are 2 days later than our once a week schedule and with a show over an hour long. Oh well. We talk about "V is for Vendetta" and weave in some talk on individual vs. collective ownership and some SJW-logic problems. For show notes and more, please visit: www.…

Episode 21 - Hunger Lames 32:36

8y ago32:36

32:36

Episode 21 - Robert and I adopt a shorter format of just over 30 minutes to discuss the Hunger Games that started off as a promising book series that we both read over five years ago and ended up as an increasingly bad movie franchise. Enjoy yourself. Not a lot of show notes for this one, but you can still visit: www.ReadRothbard.com/Episode-21…

We also discuss some recent AnCap action in the YouTubes and a list of random stuff stolen at the border. For show notes and more, visit: www.ReadRothbard.com/…

Fresh from the oven! Recorded today. Posted today. A recent business trip took me away from home for awhile so we are just now able to get together again.

1:07:31

We're back again, and this time uninterrupted. And special bonus - I watched the 2nd half of the movie. We do it some real Justice on this one and tear the Marxo-Keynesian tripe to pieces. Oh...and we unload the d!ck in a box. Can't believe we missed that on the first show. Plenty of Murray in this one and below. Enjoy! For show notes and more, vis…

Episode 17 - In Time with Keynesian/Marxist Nonsense 38:07

8y ago38:07

38:07

We take on the Justin Timberlake Action/Thriller In Time about a society where time becomes currency and the rich prey on the weak, or so the story goes. We bust this one up good and quick. We do get cut short so be on the look out for more on this one coming soon. Enjoy yourself. For show notes and more, please visit: www.ReadRothbard.com/episode-…

Episode 15 - Moron the Matrix. We re-enter the Matrix to discuss the role of the fellow prisoners in keeping any dissenter in line. We also bring up a Murray clip discussing Jeremy Bentham and his horrific Panopticon which in many ways is similar to the pods that house the people trapped inside the Matrix while being used as batteries for the machi…

Episode 14 - You're Living in a Dream World (59:57) 59:57

8+ y ago59:57

59:57

Episode 14 is all about the Matrix. People come at this movie from so many perspectives, and they all seem to think that it's a metaphor or an allegory for their way of thinking. We are not different when we come at it from our Libertarian perspective. We also bring out a Marxist-approach as contrast or foil to our ancappery. For more show notes, p…

Episode 13 - The Ring of Power Must Be Destroyed (1:15:42) 1:15:42

1:15:42

We venture into Mordor and discuss Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings. It is one of our favorite movies and it has some interesting themes that when viewed from a Rothbardian perspective, are quite compelling. Though not a fan of allegory, you can clearly see the influence that his ideological beliefs had in his work. For show notes and more, please…

1:04:34

Here's another rambling, controversial episode. To be clear: we do not condone violence. Self-defense is the only exception. We recorded this episode before really formulating our thoughts on the recent events in Minnesota, Louisiana and Texas - and try to make some sense of it all. Here are some links to things relevant to our discussion: 90 secon…

We do discuss a slate of topics that are sure to draw the ire of most. So, dive in and 'enjoy' an hour's worth of "two guys talking" about: The Fourth of July The Pledge of Al…

As if we didn't inspire enough hate mail with episode 5, we came back and did this one. We talk a bit more about Ali and his resistance to the draft, which leads us to the concept of conscription and selective service; a somewhat voluntary-sounding mandatory system that threatens young men with fines, imprisonment, possible death and certain death …
