Sing

The WVM team journeys to a bygone era of NYC, y’know, when all the inhabitants were zoo animals, and the theater was a gala extravaganza of light, sound, and magic. We follow unscrupulous theater owner, Mr. Moon, as he makes a last ditch effort to revive the dying Moon Theater by holding a giant singing competition, which brings in sad-sack contestants from every corner; from every genus, and species.

The WVM team journeys across the pond to merry old England in the mid-20th Century, to the beginning of the reign of Britain’s current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. We find that she has curiously married Dr. Who (Matt Smith) and that no one has noticed the replacement of Winston Churchill with Dick Solomon (Jonathan Lithgow.) A Netflix series surprisingly focused on themes of family and duty, it provides a good deal of worldview content.

The WVM team is now the WVM Cutest Couple. We brave a long, boring, and ultimately depressing, British piece of propaganda for the cause of Death With Dignity/Right to Die stuff. Lots o’ big worldview nuggets though. Don’t miss it.

The WVM team is joined by two more on this special holiday edition, as we deal with government agencies, scavengers, teenage angst, high school politics, nagging Tony Stark cameos, and a bad guy called the Vulture. All to bring you an analysis of thematic/worldview content, and how it is preached to us.

The Worldview Media team escapes the clutches of a rigidly logical serial killer. (Don’t worry: we were only there for like six minutes….) Then we talk about thematic content in the home renovation show, “Fixer Upper,” and how the Gaines family models some pretty handy Christian virtues.

The WVM team emerges from an underground shelter after five half-lives of radioactive decay, into the sunlight of a new world, looking for something called a “liquor store” and a standing Holiday Inn. Then we team up with a girl from Pasadena to load up several trailers full of worldview nuggets.

The WVM team takes refuge in the only remaining kingdom in the whole of England that has not yet been overrun by Danes, Essex. Under the early rule of King Alfred the Great, we witness the intrigue, cunning, conniving, and over-the-top violence, and manage to pull out some interesting worldview nuggets from this BBC original series.

The WVM team takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque and winds up in a Ugandan slum, but makes the best of it with a jug of warm porridge and a travel chess set, to bring you worldview nuggets from the true story of a hometown girl who makes good.

WVM podcast co-host, Momma Joyce, is away on a fancy-schmancy business trip, so the B-team steps up to talk about our favorite comedy TV series. Why are they funny? What makes them work? Do they still manage to communicate moral and worldview themes?

Broadcasting live from just outside the bedroom window of a Fire Nation prince, the WVM team’s collective forehead glows blue as we talk about the popular quasi-anime series, Avatar: The Last Air Bender. Not to be confused with the movie, which is apparently unwatchable for horribleness.
