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. You can help with a tax-deductible donation to Samaritan's Purse through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 22-year-old woman survives, carried 20 miles downstream One bright spot. 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 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.

This episode originally broadcast on June 26, 2025. 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

POP ART says FAMILY PLOTS: Yes, believe it or not, the latest episode of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture, is now up. I can't believe it myself, and yet…it's true. Get ready for Episode 123. “All happy families are happy in the same way; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Let's see if that rapscallion Leo Tolstoy is correct. This time around I am joined by the most enthusiastic Andy Goulding of Blueprint Review as we discussed Ron Howard's Parenthood and Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums. As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So, give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say. Andy and I especially had a great discussion on comparing the modernist approach of Howard and the post-modern/metamodern approach of Anderson; what films reflected our family life growing up; the racial aspects and attitude toward women in both; and many other discussions. It was a great time.

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.
