It's Monday, July 7, 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 Adam McManus Pakistani Christian girl, kidnapped for two years, escapes A Pakistani Christian girl, who this month escaped the Muslim who kidnapped her, said he forcibly converted her to Islam and repeatedly sexually assaulted her as his so-called “wife,” reports Morning Star News. On the night of May 24, 2023, as her family slept, 14-year-old Muskan Liaqat was kidnapped at gunpoint from her home in Sheikhupura District, by Muhammad Adnan and his father Muhammad Arif. Muskan said, “They took me to their home, where they tortured me and forcibly took my thumb impressions on some papers. I was later told that I had become a Muslim and Adnan was my husband.” A member of the Salvation Army church, Muskan said she was treated as a sex slave. She said, “I was raped and beaten by Adnan … on almost a daily basis. As a result of repeated sexual abuse, I got pregnant in 2024.” Severe torture by Adnan resulted in a miscarriage in the fourth month of her pregnancy. She said, “I used to cry all night and prayed to God to rescue me from this hell, but it looked like my prayers were not reaching Him.” The trauma led her to attempt suicide by cutting her wrist. Judges routinely ignore evidence related to the children's ages, handing them back to kidnappers as their “legal wives.” Thankfully, she got away and is now in a safe house. According to Open Doors, Pakistan, which is 96% Muslim, is the eighth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. South Korean doctor charged with murder after full-term abortion On July 2nd, a South Korean doctor was arrested and charged with murder following the abortion of a full-term baby last year, reigniting national debate over the country's ambiguous abortion laws and medical ethics, reports LifeSiteNews.com. On June 28, Judge Park Jeong-ho of the Seoul Central District Court approved arrest warrants for the surgeon, identified as Shim, and the facility's director, “Yoon.” Authorities allege the child was born alive and then deliberately left to die, which they say amounts to murder through “willful neglect.” The case dates back to late 2024. Evidence suggests that the baby was alive both before and after the procedure. The abortion was allegedly committed via labor induction – a method that, if resulting in a live birth followed by intentional death, could meet the legal definition of murder under Korean law. The Korean Medical Association condemned the incident, stating: “A fetus at 36 weeks is a baby who could survive well if born, and terminating a pregnancy at this stage is tantamount to murder.” Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For You [God] created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Trump's Big Beautiful Bill defunded Planned Parenthood Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he signed into law on Friday, July 4th, defunded Planned Parenthood for a year, reports LifeNews.com. The defunding provision, outlined in Section 44126 of the bill, effectively terminates Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services, closing a loophole that has allowed the organization to access federal funds despite the Hyde Amendment's ban on direct taxpayer funding for abortions. Pro-life critics have argued that those Medicaid reimbursements indirectly paid for the abortion giant to kill more babies by abortion. It is the first time that the radical Planned Parenthood abortion business has been defunded. The vote, as we reported on Friday, was 218-214. The new law will redirect hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to community-based, pro-life healthcare providers and away from Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. Planned Parenthood, which kills over 400,000 babies in abortions annually, received $700 million in taxpayer funds last fiscal year. Death toll in Texas flash floods climbs to 79, 40 remain missing At least 70 people are dead in central Texas after devastating flash floods slammed the Texas Hill Country, with water rescues taking place along the Guadalupe River, which rose rapidly early Friday morning to the height of a two-story building, reports CBS News. (Watch this video to see the rushing water in Center Point, Texas which tears down trees and threatens a bridge.) A dozen are still missing from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, a children's Christian summer camp. 13-year-old Stella Thompson, a camper who survived, talked with the Dallas NBC affiliate. THOMPSON: “You'd see kayaks in trees. It was horrific, because we had no idea. First responders in the water. There were huge trees ripped out of the ground.” Tragically, in a last act of kindness, Richard Eastland, the director of Camp Mystic, died trying to save campers as floodwaters from the Guadalupe River overwhelmed the camp, which is on the banks of the river, reports the San Antonio Express-News. More than 750 girls were at the camp when the flooding struck. The dead include 38 adults and 21 children, with 18 of the adults and four of the children unidentified. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott spoke from the heart. ABBOTT: “When Texans face a challenge, we come together, we unite. We will be relentless in going after and ensuring that we locate every single person who's been a victim of this flooding event. We're not going to stop today or tomorrow. We will stop when the job is completed. This is a 24/7 operation, day and night. We will find every one of them.” Dear Lord, Help the First Responders rescue all of the remaining survivors of this horrific flood. Amen.

A 22-year-old woman, who was carried by the raging waters 20 miles from Hunt, Texas to Center Point, survived as she clung to a tree. Carl, who lives along the Guadalupe River, explained what happened to KENS-TV 5. CARL: “True miracle. There's no other way to explain it. “I came up on the deck and she saw me. So, she started to scream out loud. I thought she was in the water going down the river. I finally looked and was able to spot her in the tree. I began to holler back to her. ‘Hey, I see you. We'll get you help. Hang on. Hang on.' Because she was desperate! “After they were able to pluck her out, we brought her into our house and gave her a shower, clothed her because it had stripped all of her clothing off, gave her something to drink, gave her a nap. We called her grandmother in Corpus.” Thankfully, she had no broken bones and only a small wound on the top of her head. Worldview listeners in Colorado and California speak out And finally, two Worldview listeners wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to share what they enjoy about the newscast. Wes Anderson in Grand Junction, Colorado, wrote, “I try to read The Worldview in 5 Minutes transcript every day. I appreciate the Biblical perspective on the news! It's nice to have a news source I can trust!” And Pastor Aaron Hebbard of Remnant Church in Mentone, California, wrote, “Here's what I like: I love the snapshot of the big issues of the day without having to spend precious time chasing various stories. I treasure the news on the persecuted church; it prompts prayer on behalf of our global brothers and sisters, and sets the stage for the unfathomable things Christ will do with the precious blood of His saints. I appreciate the occasional call to activism, whether it's a phone call or email to a local politician, or support for a cause, or to join a prayer movement.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, July 7th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

This week on The Watchers, Jodie and Andrea are talking about Harold and Maude, Hal Ashby's unconventional romance that's become a cult classic, an aesthetic touchstone, and (maybe?) the origin story of the manic pixie dream girl. We get into: why Maude might be the blueprint for the trope, and why she also transcends it. Why Harold is relatable to those of us who might delight in our melancholy, even if Maude is really who we should be putting on our vision board, the movie's deep influence on today's filmmakers (looking at you, Wes Anderson), and how Ashby originally had a very different vision for the film's soundtrack, including plans for another musician to both score the film and star in it.Recommended Reading:"A Boy of Twenty and a Woman of Eighty" By Leticia Kent"The Greatest Comedic Tragedy: How Harold and Maude Redefined Holocaust Humor" - Film CredIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

Nous sommes dans les années 30, en Zubrowska, un pays imaginaire de MittleEuropa.Bienvenue au Grand Budapest Hotel, un splendide palace géré de main de maître par Monsieur Gustave.Je suis Céleste Touboul Durante, et en partenariat avec la Cinémathèque Française, je vais vous raconter l'histoire de l'uniforme de Monsieur Gustave, un costume signé Milena Canonero, que vous pouvez admirer à l'exposition Wes Anderson, jusqu'au 27 juillet à Paris. Comment crée-t-on l'uniforme d'un concierge parfait ? Pourquoi ce mauve si distinctif ? D'où viennent les tissus, les insignes, les inspirations ? Vous saurez tout des secrets de fabrication, des échanges entre Canonero et Anderson, des maisons de couture impliquées, et de l'art minutieux qui se cache derrière l'élégance de chaque tenue.Nous parlerons aussi des costumes de Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), de Zero, de Jopling (Willem Dafoe) et de l'armée fantasmée de Zubrowska — autant de silhouettes à découvrir à l'exposition Wes Anderson à la Cinémathèque française, visible jusqu'au 27 juillet.Un épisode pour les amoureux du détail, du cinéma et de la beauté du costume.
Love comes in many forms, a fact that's especially true when it plays out in the movies. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that embody the emotion we know as love in entirely different ways. First up is Wes Anderson's latest, titled “The Phoenician Scheme.” Following that is Celine Song's second feature film, titled simply “Materialists.”
On the forty- fifth episode of All the Film Things, my friend Emmy- award winning photojournalist Cole Echevarria is back for the third “wide- released” edition of our segment, Film Finds! The “Film Finds” segment is ATFT in its most casual, spontaneous form as we talk about the films we've recently watched with nearly nothing prepared. The last time we did a “Film Finds” episode was exactly a year ago (give Episode 23 a listen) and the first “wide- released” Film Finds episode was Episode 3 (so check that one too while you're at it)! Like previous Film Finds episodes, I mostly talked about older films I discovered and Cole, the frequent theater- goer, mostly focuses on newly released films he has seen so far this year.This is Cole's record- breaking 19th appearance on ATFT! He is far and away the most frequent guest on the show and has proven to be a fan- favorite. Not only is Cole one of the biggest champions of ATFT, he makes this podcast fun and brings out a less- serious version of myself. He won an Emmy last year for his work on the news package “Waiting for Rebuild” for First Coast News. As always, we do banter a bit but it is a little more sporadic this time around. This episode was recorded on June 10, 2025. In this episode, Cole and I discuss the films we have recently discovered as well as films we've recently rewatched. Cole talks about important characters in Wes Anderson films as well as his new film The Phoenician Scheme (2025). This discussion leads us to debate whether or not Wes Anderson is an auteur and then to me once again raving about Pedro Almodóvar who was helmed as cinema's “greatest auteur”. I talked about my recent viewing of Mr. Klein (1976) which left me rattled as well as recent rewatches of Tokyo Story (1953) and Revolutionary Road (2008). Cole later reveals his surprising new hobby and how that ties into the comfort film he dreams to remake one day. All this and more on the new episode of ATFT!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we're closing out Wes Anderson Month with his most Wes Anderson-y film yet: The French Dispatch. It's a layered love letter to journalism, artistry, revolution, and really good mustaches.We break down the film's anthology structure, dive into its obsessive detail, and gush over how a movie this chaotic can still feel so heartbreakingly precise. From prison chefs to student revolutions, we cover every ink-stained corner of this cinematic magazine.Fold your newspaper just right and join us for one last symmetrical spin through Wes World.
There's a new Wes Anderson movie in theaters, but that's only part of the reason we were inspired to cover The Grand Budapest Hotel for this latest edition of Time on Screen. Faithful readers might remember a recent release from Maurice de Mauriac with a pretty direct link to the film. There's also Anderson's recent collaboration with Montblanc (timed to coincide with the release of The Phoenician Scheme) that certainly appeals to our own interest in writing instruments as well. Gear Patrol has the full story on the pen – is there anything more Wes Anderson than the layout of that limited edition packaging? But ultimately, we just really love The Grand Budapest Hotel and didn't need much of a reason to discuss it. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode (they also covered The Life Aquatic here, which you should listen to if you haven't already), and the focus the conversation on where Grand Budapest sits in Anderson's filmography. More than a decade removed from the film's release, it now seems pretty clear that it represents a dividing line in Anderson's career. Zach and Kyle also spend some time talking about the great Ralph Fiennes performance in this film, as well as their favorite scenes.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/06/binary-system-podcast-463-station-eleven-the-phoenician-scheme-and-28-weeks-later/We've clearly been kidnapped by aliens and replaced with clones who are much better at watching movies, because this week we caught up on a show that's only four years old, and watched a movie that's still in the theater. (Then of course we watched a movie 18 years after it came out, so maybe this is the real Binary System Crew after all. OR IS IT? No, it totally is.)First up we go over an absolutely grim episode of Station Eleven, going back in time to see how Miranda's relationship went up in flames (literally), then jumping forward to see how the whole world went up in flames. (Figuratively. Mostly.)After that we do a quick look at Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme, which we absolutely love but it's hard to describe other than saying "It's very Wes Andersony." (The man loves him some horizontal tracking shots oh yes he does.)Finally we rolled our eyes a little at 2007's 28 Weeks Later: it's got some cool explosions, some intense action, and young Jeremy Renner is very cute, but it lost the charm of the original, unfortunately. (They needed to STICK TO THE RULES. - Kathryn) (Don't LOGIC THE PLOT, KATHRYN. - Elizabeth)This week's outro is a clip from Back In Line by Roy Colwin.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

Hang onto your slipcases, because Blake Howard and the legendary host of INCREMENT VICE - Travis Woods - break the balls of the Criterion 4K release of what he argues is perhaps the greatest movie of the 1970s, and therefore one of the greatest movies ever, William Friedkin's SORCERER.SorcererA hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, William Friedkin's pulse-pounding reimagining of the suspense classic The Wages of Fear was dismissed upon its release, only to be recognised decades later as one of the New Hollywood's boldest auteur statements. In a remote Latin American village, four desperate fugitives—a New Jersey gangster (Roy Scheider), a Mexican assassin (Francisco Rabal), an unscrupulous Parisian businessman (Bruno Cremer), and an Arab terrorist (Amidou)—take on a doomed mission: transporting two trucks full of highly explosive nitroglycerin through the treacherous jungle. Aided by Tangerine Dream's otherworldly synth score, Friedkin turns each bump in the road into a tour de force of cold-sweat tension—conjuring a hauntingly nihilistic vision of a world ruled by chance and fate.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack approved by director William Friedkin, and alternate original theatrical 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and two Blu-rays with the film and special featuresFriedkin Uncut (2018), a documentary by Francesco Zippel featuring interviews with Friedkin, screenwriter Walon Green, filmmakers Wes Anderson and Francis Ford Coppola, and othersNew conversation between filmmaker James Gray and film critic Sean FennesseyConversation from 2015 between Friedkin and filmmaker Nicolas Winding RefnArchival audio interviews with Green and editor Bud Smith, from the collection of Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan, author of William Friedkin (2003)Behind-the-scenes footageTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by film critic Justin ChangNew cover by Nessim HigsonTravis Woods (Host of INCREMENT VICE)Travis Woods is a Contributing Editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room, as well as a writer for The New Beverly Cinema and Cinephilia & Beyond.No Way To Managua: Bridging the Forces of Fate and Identity in William Friedkin's SorcererSupport: JOIN THE ONE HEAT MINUTE PATREON FOR AS LITTLE AS $1 A MONTHFollow the hosts:Blake Howard - Twitter & One Heat Minute Website Alexei Toliopoulos - Twitter & The Last Video StoreSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week Bob and Matt dissect three very different cinematic releases: Wes Anderson's pastel chaos, a deep-sea implosion doc, and a tech bro fever dream masquerading as a movie. ⏱️ Chapter Markers: 00:00 – 17:45 | The Phoenician Scheme Wes is back with a hand grenade. Bob breaks down the “Wes Venn Diagram,” Matt praises the comedic rhythm, and Michael Cera steals the show. Bonus: eyebrow analysis and a Benedict Cumberbatch wig appreciation moment. 17:46 – 32:20 | Titan Sub Disaster (Netflix) Implosions, PlayStation controllers, and corporate delusion. Bob relives learning about the story in an escape room, and Matt explores the horrifying audio build-up to tragedy. An unexpectedly gripping doc with more tension than most action films. 32:21 – 41:44 | Mountainhead (Max) Billionaires with soup spoons, gobbledygook dialogue, and a plot so muddled even subtitles tap out. Bob is out, Matt is… somewhat amused. The guys debate whether it's satire, nonsense, or both—and if Steve Carell can save it. (Spoiler: maybe not.)

MOVIE MIKE'S MOVIE PODCAST: Mike was recently inspired by the Paul Reubens’ documentary after learning about Pee Wee’s Big Adventure being such an important first film for Tim Burton. He shared what directors he believes made the biggest splashes with their debut studio films, why he thinks the Oscars are wrong about animation and what new directors are just heating up. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Phoenician Scheme from one of his favorite directors Wes Anderson. Benicio Del Toro plays a wealthy and maligned industrialist Zsa Zsa Korda , who, after surviving one too many assassination attempts by rivals, names his forgotten daughter as his sole heir-over his eight sons. Mike talks about if Wes Anderson is still cool, where it ranks among his most recent films and why Michael Cera was born for this role. In the Trailer Park, Mike and Kelsey talk about Wicked: For Good, going to see Wicked on Broadway this summer and how it lines up with The Wizard of Oz. New Episodes Every Monday!
