Abstract
Recent years have seen a trend away from "chalk and talk" toward alternative pedagogical approaches to teaching economics. Media clips, in particular, have been touted as a way to provide students with memorable and exciting exposure to economic concepts. Media clips are especially well-suited for teaching public choice economics because of the plethora of films and television shows depicting government activity. This paper documents how clips from popular movies and series such as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "House of Cards" can be used to teach public choice economics.
