Episode 257: Episode 257 - Doctor Sleep (1:18:09)

We invite the Profe$$ional A$$hole to discuss the Shining sequel, impressively of both the book and the movie versions, in 2019's "Doctor Sleep". Danny Torrance is all grownz up and still haunted by the events at the Overlook Hotel that happened when he was a child.  He drinks to hide the pain and dull his shine, following his father’s footsteps.  He gains the resolve to right himself and encounters a gifted young girl who “shines” brightly to attract psychic vampires who want to hunt her down so he must help save her and finally rid the world of the Overlook. This is a fun discussion where our guest dons the satiric persona of Alec Jones, an imaginary half-brother to the famous “conspiracy theorist” who turns out to be right...just early in many cases. We will return next week with another horror film, John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness” with the great Prof CJ of the Dangerous History Podcast. Show notes:   http://www.actualanarchy.com/257 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.  SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
