308 | Alexandra Mann Who among us doesn't love a good movie? And how many times have you been watching a film and, jump scare, some terrible adoptee trope comes out of nowhere. Today's guest, Alexandra Mann had that happen one too many times and what grew out of that all too common adoptee misrepresentation in the media, was the Adoptee Film Fest which is now in it's second year (spotlighting adoptee filmmakers, telling adoptee stories). Alexandra shares about her personal story as a domestic, transracial adoptee from Hong Kong, and how therapy preserved her relationship with her adoptive parents after a giant secret came to light. We do have a mention of suicidal ideation in this conversation so please listen with care.   Full Show Notes and Transcript Here   Join our adoptee community on Patreon here   Check out our upcoming live events here!

Hong Kong was once the undisputed capital of fine wine auctions—a magnet for rare bottles, record prices, and global collectors. Now, the market is shifting. Tastes are changing, investment habits are evolving, and the city's role in the world of wine is being redefined. What does that mean for collectors, investors, and anyone who cares about what's in the glass?Our guest is Charles Curtis, Master of Wine Founder of WineAlpha, where he provides advice on varied topics of interest to wine collectors and the trade. As the former Head of Wine for Christie's in both Asia and the Americas, he brings a rare, global perspective. From his path—from Moët Hennessy in the U.S. to Hong Kong in 2008—offers a front-row view of the region's rise and recalibration. We'll talk about how buying patterns have shifted in Hong Kong, and why Hong Kong's resilience endures.Charles is also one of the foremost voices on Champagne and Burgundy. His first book, The Original Grand Crus of Burgundy, was released in 2014, and the second, Vintage Champagne 1899 – 2019 in 2020. In 2024 he authored the chapter ‘Appraising Fine Wine and Spirits' in the book Appraising: The Definitive Guide' from the Appraisers Association of America, and his forthcoming book, An Atlas of the Côte des Blancs (with cartographer Steve De Long), will appear later this year. He is a board member of the Appraiser's Association of America, and since 2020 has been the Burgundy correspondent for Decanter magazine and a contributor to other publications.And stay with us for a quick lightning round: Charles's favorite Champagne vintage, his take on decanting, and the one Asian dish he can't resist pairing with a great bottle.Follow the journey on Instagram @curtismwMore information on Charles and his latest books: https://curtismw.com/index.html Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

It's Thursday, September 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark The martyrdom of 1,624 Christians A Vatican commission has documented the stories of 1,624 Christians who died for their faith over the past 25 years. The stories cover Christians from all denominations. Of the cases, 643 were in Sub-Saharan Africa, 357 in Asia and Oceania, 304 in the Americas, 277 in the Middle East and the Maghreb, and 43 in Europe.  Archbishop Fabio Fabene is the head of the commission. He noted that “Martyrdom has existed in every age of the Church, but perhaps now more than in the past, many surrender their lives in order not to betray the message of Christ.” Typhoon prompts 2 million Chinese to evacuate Typhoon Ragasa made landfall in China yesterday.  Nearly two million people evacuated southern China ahead of the storm. The typhoon is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, making it the world's most powerful storm this year.  The typhoon left a path of destruction in the Philippines and Hong Kong and killed at least 17 people in Taiwan.  Oracle to buy Chinese-owned TikTok to allay security concerns Speaking of China, officials from the country reached an agreement with leaders from the United States last week about the Chinese-owned app TikTok. According to the deal, the tech company Oracle will lead a U.S.-backed acquisition of TikTok's assets in America. This is part of the Trump administration's efforts to address national security concerns of China's control over TikTok.    Listen to comments from U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. GREER: “We were very focused on Tiktok and making sure that it was a deal that is fair from the Chinese and completely respects US national security concerns. And that's the deal we reached.” False prophet had predicted end of the world by September 24th Meanwhile on TikTok, claims that the rapture was supposed to have occurred in the last two days went viral this week. The reactions came in response to a video from a South African man named Joshua Mhlakela. He claimed to have a vision that Jesus would return on the 23rd or 24th of September.  I guess he was wrong! The hashtag #rapturenow on TikTok has hundreds of thousands of videos. In the wake of the false predictions, Rev. Franklin Graham called people to turn to Christ, not panic. He wrote on Facebook, “There's no question, Jesus Christ will return—but we don't know when. Jesus Himself tells us, ‘But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only' (Matthew 24:36)”  Graham concluded, “Surrender your life to Him—this is the preparation that will count.” Chicago dropped charges against 3 street preachers The American Center for Law and Justice announced that a court in Chicago dropped charges against three street preachers this month.  In the case, police arrested three young men for peacefully preaching the Gospel near Chicago's Millennium Park. After six months of court battles, the judge recently dismissed the case.  The ACLJ wrote on Facebook, “Far-Left cities are arresting preachers for sharing the Gospel. We just filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend their religious liberty. Help stop the far Left's attack on preachers. Sign our petition.”  You can sign that petition through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.  Texas law prohibits manufacture or distribution of abortion kill pill Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed the Woman and Child Protection Act into law last Wednesday.  The law makes it illegal to manufacture or distribute abortion-inducing drugs in the Lone Star State. It also bans mailing such drugs to or from any person or location in the state. The chemical abortion business has surged after many states passed anti-abortion laws. For example, ever since Texas protected babies in the womb after six weeks gestation, it has seen nearly 20,000 abortion kill pills mailed into the state annually. Most Americans believe we're born without sin nature And finally, Lifeway Research and Ligonier Ministries released their latest State of Theology study. A majority of U.S. adults strongly embraced ideas like the Trinity, God's perfection and unchangeableness, and marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  However, a majority of Americans also strongly agreed that everyone is born innocent in the eyes of God and strongly disagreed that even the smallest sin deserves eternal damnation.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “When a clear majority of Americans think God is flexible when it comes to religion, it's not surprising that agreement with some teachings in the Bible does not translate to accepting all biblical teaching. Americans want the same flexibility they think God has, even if that contradicts other beliefs they have and how God is revealed in Scripture.” James 1:17 reminds us, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Dozens of law enforcement officers descended about 6:40 a.m. on the building in the 8100 block of North Stemmons Freeway in the Stemmons Corridor. Homeland Security officials confirmed three detainees were shot. One died at the scene, while the remaining two victims were hospitalized in critical condition. Their identities were not released. ICE said in a post on X that the detainees were shot while inside a transport van. The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that one of the people who suffered serious injuries is a Mexican national. In other news, celebrity television psychologist Phil McGraw began testifying Tuesday in the weekslong hearing over whether he filed for bankruptcy for his Fort Worth-based Merit Street Media in “bad faith.” The family of one of the 67 people killed when an airliner collided with an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C., sued the government and the airlines involved on Wednesday. Other families are expected to join this first lawsuit that seeks to hold the Federal Aviation Administration, the Army, Fort Worth-based American Airlines and its regional partner, PSA Airlines, accountable for the deadliest U.S. plane crash since 2001. And the winning bid for a viral Southlake estate topped $14.2 million. Concierge Auctions announced Friday that a sale is pending for the 31,000-square-foot home at 1469 Sunshine Lane following a live auction at The Upper House in Hong Kong.

Another rooftop sniper has fired into an ICE facility in Dallas. The truth is not on the news. Copycat situation? Anti ICE? Were hit men hit? Self proclaimed journalists do very little work. Three detainees killed, no ICE injured. The rhetoric is dense. Remedial responses. Make it make sense. Are we normalizing violence against ICE? Nobody is calling out the left. This tells us a lot. Controlling information is worse than censorship. The Hoft brothers and Media Matters know what's happening. Flames are getting fanned. Narratives are faster than facts. One candidate is campaigning positively on the riots. They say death to those who disagree. Routh trained in Poland, and went to Hong Kong in 2019. Let's discuss his lawyer wife. The UN bends optics and shows fragility. Cheering an escalator. There is no safe distance from violence. Why is the right justifying it? Corruption eats our foundation. Fury without direction feeds the fire. Not clumsy, surgical. Rhetoric is moving to action. Manufactured narratives become dominant. Don't be an unpaid amplifier. Consume media slowly and protect the center. Facts first, action second. Election software since the 90's. Our secret weapon is the truth. And they do not own the people.

I interviewed Dan Wang, a writer and analyst whose annual letters from China have become a first draft of modern Chinese history. We talked about how he blends personal observation with deep analysis, how to skip the cliches and write with texture instead, and how classical music and literature have shaped his writing style. What's unique about Dan is that he built a name for himself by writing one essay per year (in an age where writers are encouraged to publish consistently). We also talked about his approach to travel writing, the difference between living in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, how AI is changing the way he thinks (but not how he writes), and why China's influencer culture is his least favorite thing about the country. 00:1:04 Why Dan writes Annual Letters00:07:53 Dan's favorite novel00:15:01 Dan's method for writing00:26:02 Why most travel writing stinks00:30:44 How to travel through China00:33:05 The regions of China, explained00:44:47 Trade books vs. academic books00:53:46 The problem with history books01:01:42 Did Dan write his book with AI?01:10:50 Dan's least favorite part about China1:15:42 A critique of American elites1:33:08 Dan's website got blocked in China1:39:52 What China mocks about America1:54:49 A simple way to improve your writing Learn more about your ad choices.

Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan for a profound conversation about the tension between building and being, success and faithfulness, and the danger of running on life's treadmill without stopping to ask why. Speaking from his experiences in Hong Kong's fast-paced culture, Francis shares vulnerable insights about his own journey from mega-church pastor to someone seeking deeper relationship with God.This episode challenges entrepreneurs to examine their motivations, embrace dependence on God, and discover the freedom that comes from living with eternal perspective. Francis opens up about his decision to give away book royalties, the wisdom of Proverbs 30:7-9, and why he believes entrepreneurs have a unique opportunity to live differently and impact others through their choices.Key Topics:Breaking free from the cultural treadmill of endless achievement and busynessWhy Francis wishes he could tell his younger self to focus on the main commands of ScriptureThe danger of coveting in entrepreneurship and how to combat it through eternal perspectiveLearning to be quick to listen, slow to speak in a world that rewards constant talkingHow entrepreneurs can use their success as a platform to live counter-culturallyThe relationship between taking risks of faith and experiencing deeper fellowship with GodWhy Francis asked God not to make him rich and what that prayer teaches usNotable Quotes:"He tells me whether I eat, drink, whatever I do, do it all for the glory of God, and so even now, are the words coming out of my mouth giving glory to him." - Francis Chan"Don't you want to be a person that is known for their love and to be so much like Christ, who didn't consider equality with God something to be held on to." - Francis Chan"You don't want to be lazy with what God's given you, I would just challenge you to go, Hey, once you're on that road to success and it's actually happening, you have an incredible opportunity to live differently." - Francis Chan 

David Baverez est investisseur et vit depuis des années à Hong Kong. Il est aussi l'auteur du percutant ouvrage Bienvenue en économie de guerre et je suis content de revenir un peu à l'économie et à la géopolitique.Il observe notre monde avec un regard aussi lucide que tranché avec ses biais bien sûr. Dans cet épisode, j'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi il parle d'économie de guerre, ce que cela implique pour la France, pour l'Europe, et comment cela rebat les cartes du monde tel que nous le connaissions.Nous avons beaucoup parlé de la Chine, évidemment, un pays que David connaît intimement. Mais aussi des États-Unis, de leur dette publique, de leur rapport à l'innovation, à la puissance. De la France et de sa désindustrialisation volontaire. D'une Europe qui vacille, accrochée à des illusions de puissance passée, et qui peine à reconnaître sa dépendance économique, numérique, énergétique, militaire… La France est passée d'une place de 4ème à 24ème en PIB/habitant en 20 ans. Et ce n'est pas un simple chiffre.J'ai questionné David sur ce qu'il appelle un monde "apolaire", un monde dans lequel il n'existe plus de centre de gravité unique. Un monde fait de chaos, où les puissances intermédiaires, comme l'Arabie Saoudite ou la Turquie, jouent leur partition au gré de leurs intérêts.Dans cet épisode, nous abordons :les ruptures de 2022 et pourquoi cette date est si symbolique,le rôle de la Chine dans la nouvelle économie mondialisée,le piège de la dette française et notre perte de souveraineté,la montée des extrêmes et l'impact des plateformes numériques comme TikTok sur les démocraties,et surtout, ce que nous pouvons encore faire pour redonner du sens, réinvestir notre liberté d'agir, de penser, et sortir de notre posture d'autostoppeur économique.David propose même un modèle inédit de gouvernance, à base de "7 papy-mamie flingueurs" pour sauver la France du chaos.

David Baverez est investisseur et vit depuis des années à Hong Kong. Il est aussi l'auteur du percutant ouvrage Bienvenue en économie de guerre et je suis content de revenir un peu à l'économie et à la géopolitique.Il observe notre monde avec un regard aussi lucide que tranché avec ses biais bien sûr. Dans cet épisode, j'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi il parle d'économie de guerre, ce que cela implique pour la France, pour l'Europe, et comment cela rebat les cartes du monde tel que nous le connaissions.Nous avons beaucoup parlé de la Chine, évidemment, un pays que David connaît intimement. Mais aussi des États-Unis, de leur dette publique, de leur rapport à l'innovation, à la puissance. De la France et de sa désindustrialisation volontaire. D'une Europe qui vacille, accrochée à des illusions de puissance passée, et qui peine à reconnaître sa dépendance économique, numérique, énergétique, militaire… La France est passée d'une place de 4ème à 24ème en PIB/habitant en 20 ans. Et ce n'est pas un simple chiffre.J'ai questionné David sur ce qu'il appelle un monde "apolaire", un monde dans lequel il n'existe plus de centre de gravité unique. Un monde fait de chaos, où les puissances intermédiaires, comme l'Arabie Saoudite ou la Turquie, jouent leur partition au gré de leurs intérêts.Dans cet épisode, nous abordons :les ruptures de 2022 et pourquoi cette date est si symbolique,le rôle de la Chine dans la nouvelle économie mondialisée,le piège de la dette française et notre perte de souveraineté,la montée des extrêmes et l'impact des plateformes numériques comme TikTok sur les démocraties,et surtout, ce que nous pouvons encore faire pour redonner du sens, réinvestir notre liberté d'agir, de penser, et sortir de notre posture d'autostoppeur économique.David propose même un modèle inédit de gouvernance, à base de "7 papy-mamie flingueurs" pour sauver la France du chaos. Un épisode dense, remuant, mais ô combien nécessaire pour comprendre le monde qui vient.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by action aficionado Adam Garman to take on Double Impact! Two Van Dammes. Twice the splits. Half the plot? We revisit the 1991 JCVD cult classic to see where this martial arts double feature delivers, and where a second pass might've packed a stronger punch. Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: September 21, 2025 Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness! From Star Wars role playing, to Disney day dreaming, to video game love, we've got the show for you! Learn more on our website: https://www.certainpov.com Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/wcHHer4 PODCAST SHOWS: ▶ Another Pass - https://www.certainpov.com/another-pass-podcast FOLLOW US: ▶ Website: https://www.certainpov.com Product and Content Strategy The team agreed that Double Impact stands out as a solid B-movie action film with unique elements that could be leveraged for niche audiences (01:00). Adam Garman highlighted the film's clear logline and fun action sequences, positioning it as superior to similar genre films like the Double Dragon movie (02:00). The dual-role performance by Jean Claude Van Damme was praised for distinguishing the twin characters effectively, supporting the movie's core gimmick and enhancing audience engagement (05:30). Despite some acting and tone inconsistencies, the film's campy style and memorable fight choreography, especially with characters like Bolo Yang, contributed to its cult appeal (16:00). The team noted the film's potential as a video game adaptation or inspiration, reinforcing its value for multi-format storytelling and extended fan engagement (18:30). The discussion revealed opportunities to reframe the film's narrative to deepen character arcs and diversify female roles, which could improve future product iterations or adaptations (50:00). Narrative and Character Development Adjustments A consensus emerged that the original film's character backstories lacked logical depth, especially regarding the twins' upbringing and motivations, prompting proposed rewrites to enhance coherence and emotional impact (45:30). Sam Alicea suggested relocating Frank to an island near Hong Kong rather than the U.S., raising Alex there, while Chad grows up sheltered in France with nuns and charity work, explaining his accent and personality differences (46:30). This rewrite provides Chad with a clear motivation to seek his origins, improving narrative clarity and making his journey compelling for audiences (47:00). The idea to reduce gratuitous scenes, such as the extended sex scene, was proposed to tighten pacing while retaining key fight scenes that drive engagement and humor (50:00). Repositioning Danielle as a secondary character who aids Chad during his quest was discussed to better balance female representation and reduce questionable plot elements (50:45). Adam Garman recommended developing a love triangle to fully embrace the film's hinted romantic tension, which would add depth and increase dramatic stakes (54:30). These character and plot revisions aim to modernize the story's structure while preserving its core action appeal, increasing potential for broader audience resonance. Operational and Process Improvements for Production The team identified pacing and structural issues in the original film that impacted viewer engagement, suggesting process improvements for future projects (58:00). Removing or trimming long exposition sequences, such as the Mercedes smuggling scene, could reduce runtime by several minutes without losing essential plot information (01:00:30). The group highlighted the importance of precise timing in dual-role acting and compositing effects, noting a few awkward scenes where timing and blue screen work were less polished, indicating a need for stronger QA and rehearsal processes in future productions (28:30). Speaker insights underscored the value of balancing action with character development to avoid pacing issues and maintain viewer interest throughout longer runtimes (59:30). They recommended adopting editing strategies like chapter skipping or segmented releases to give viewers control over pacing, potentially enhancing audience retention on digital platforms (01:02:00). These process refinements seek to improve production quality and audience experience, aligning with modern consumption habits. Market Positioning and Competitive Context The film was framed as occupying a unique niche between mainstream and cult action movies, with competitive advantages and challenges noted (18:00). Adam Garman emphasized that Double Impact outperforms similar genre films like Double Dragon by blending action with a campy, video game-like structure, giving it longevity and fan loyalty (02:30). The casting of Bolo Yang as a physically imposing Asian antagonist was recognized as a positive step in breaking stereotypes, enhancing the film's distinctiveness in the market (16:30). The inclusion of a white financial villain added complexity to the traditional gangster narrative, broadening market appeal by framing the conflict as both business and crime-driven (19:00). The team noted that the film's dated elements, such as frequent slurs and gender dynamics, present risks but also opportunities for reboots or remasters that address modern sensibilities (22:00). This positioning suggests potential in targeted re-releases, remakes, or related media capitalizing on the film's unique traits and fan base. Long-term Vision and Strategic Recommendations The conversation revealed a vision to evolve the film's core concept into a richer, more modern franchise through narrative refinement and character depth (45:00). Reworking the twins' origin and upbringing was seen as key to creating a more emotionally compelling and believable story world, which could support sequels or spin-offs (47:00). Incorporating clearer, stronger female characters and romantic subplots was recommended to diversify appeal and reflect contemporary audience expectations (54:00). Maintaining the film's strong action and fight choreography while trimming excess scenes would modernize pacing and maintain core fans' interest (50:00). The team's reflections suggest exploring multi-platform storytelling including video games, graphic novels, or digital interactive formats to extend engagement beyond film (18:30). Speaker perspectives emphasized balancing respect for the original material with necessary updates to remain competitive and relevant in today's market (01:03:00). These strategic insights provide a roadmap for transforming the film's cult status into a sustainable multi-product franchise. Speaker Insights and Cultural Context The discussion surfaced important cultural and creative considerations influencing the film's reception and areas for improvement (22:00). The frequent use of homophobic slurs and problematic gender dynamics were called out as serious detractors, limiting the film's broader acceptance and requiring sensitive handling in any future adaptations (22:00). Speakers acknowledged Jean Claude Van Damme's creative control shaped casting and character choices, such as insisting on playing both twins to showcase versatility, which impacted narrative flexibility (25:30). The awkwardness of acting against blue screens for dual roles was attributed to the era's technical limitations, suggesting a need for better technology and preparation in similar future projects (28:00). The team appreciated stylistic and comedic elements, including Van Damme's softer character side and camp humor, which contribute to the film's charm despite flaws (22:30). Cultural critiques were balanced with affection for the film's boldness and fight choreography, reflecting a nuanced understanding of its place in 1990s action cinema (37:00). These insights highlight the importance of cultural awareness and creative balance in product development and storytelling.

Send us a textThe day after the FOMC's first rate cut of 2025, we sat down with Matt Hornbach, Global Head of Macro Strategy at Morgan Stanley, to unpack what the decision really meant, and what the markets maybe got wrong on first read. Matt talks about the shifting dissenters, how updates to the Summary of Economic Projections present a more complicated picture for the future path of rate cuts, and why Powell's tone at the presser felt at odds with the statement itself.We also dig into the Fed's often-misunderstood, rarely referenced “third mandate” (moderate long-term rates), the limits of yield curve “engineering,” and the crucial point that U.S. mortgage rates don't simply follow 30-year Treasury yields. We dive into Matt's favored yield-curve steepener, going into the details of preferred expressions optimized for minimal cost of carry. Beyond rates, he explains why he expects further USD depreciation and gives us a rates-based framework to understand what sometimes feels like puzzling strength in the equities market. This episode is also our “Fixed Income Strategy 101” primer, where we cover: what macro/fixed-income strategy teams actually do, how they partner with sales & trading and clients, the difference between research/strategy/desk strategy, the top skills hiring managers look for (hint: learn Python), and common exit paths. Matthew Hornbach is a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, Global Head of Macro Strategy, and one of nine members of the Global Investment Committee for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. With support from his team, Matthew received the most individual or firm votes in the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Institutional Investor Global Fixed-Income Research poll across all analysts across all Economics & Strategy categories.Matthew began his career at Morgan Stanley in June 2000. He joined as a Japanese Government Bond (JGB) trader in Tokyo, then became a yen interest rate strategist. Matthew moved to New York in 2004 to make markets in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). He returned to Tokyo in 2006 to develop the US Agency MBS Pass-throughs business in Asia. In 2012, Matthew returned to New York as Head of U.S. Rates Strategy and became the Global Head of Rates Strategy shortly thereafter. Just prior to his 20th year at Morgan Stanley, he became Global Head of Macro Strategy. He oversees teams of developed and emerging market rates and FX strategists in New York, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.Matthew holds a BA degree in economics from Vassar College and a Certificate of ManaFor a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!
