There Will Be Blood
Written by
The WVM team digs deep, searching for worldview ore while seeking to avoid various industrial accidents and religious charlatans. We think the Biblical covenant has shown us how to take a Plain-view of modern media, every day of the week and twice on Eli Sunday, using a long straw to drain the whole milkshake.
Gods and Generals
Gods and Generals

The WVM team is joined by the host of The War Room podcast, Bill Evans, to analyze the worldview that underlies his favorite movie of all time, Gods and Generals. This is a very atypical movie that quotes Scripture favorably and portrays devout, Protestant Christians without an ounce of mockery, while even managing to be faithful to the actual events depicted from the “Second War for American Independence.”

Stranger Things
Stranger Things
Written by
The WVM team braves wicked government agents, mad scientists, and an icky monster from the Upside Down called a Demigorgon, to bring you an examination of the Netflix original series, Stranger Things. It’s an homage to the 80’s and to every Speilberg movie ever made, designed to span all the possible worlds and dimensions between hilarity and horror. It’s a well-told adventure story blended with a love of camp and cheesiness. (Mmmm, campy cheese.)

Braveheart
Braveheart
Written by
The WVM team welcomes a listener into the fun of evaluating the worldview messages present in Mel Gibson’s classic “dude flick,” Braveheart. But is our motivation pure, or some mixture between liberty-loving idealism and personal vengeance? And does it really matter very much once the blood starts spurting?

Les Miserables
Les Miserables
Written by
The WVM team scours the cholera-laden back streets of 19th Century Paris, in search of worldview content (and maybe an unguarded loaf of bread) in the 2012 musical adaptation of the Victor Hugo classic, Les Miserables. Spoiler alert: Wolverine can sing!
