This week, we get into 2009's Dragonball Evolution. I don't watch any anime, and don't even know what a Dragon Ball is. This movie is trash though. I know nothing about the lore, and was deeply upset. I could only imagine what it must have felt like to be that invested in a franchise, only for the dim-witted cum baby of Jessie Pinkman and the “Dude, You're Getting a Dell” guy to be the reluctant hero on this loser's journey. Basically, Dragonball is Draggin' Balls! “Dude, you're getting a Dell” guy dunks on demons and doesn't die, unfortunately … den he uses da dragon balls! Big bag buffering in the barrens! Very not Dragonball-ish! Chi-Chi's hot little box! Frenetic finger flaps! Piccolo force-choking a house! Dragonball energy seekers! Stone temple covered in karate people! Spraying your spirit gel! Evaporated meteor baby monkey lords! Chi-Chi's karate-kid cooperation, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made! www.theworstmovieevermade.com

Haste makes waste.

In this post-game episode, we discuss the Montreal Canadiens dropping Game 1 of the second round 4-2 to Buffalo. We discussed the new style of play in the series, Martin St-Louis' decision to keep Jakub Dobes in net, and should Demidov and Dach be put on the 2nd line together.

Business is stressful at the best of times. Add a pandemic, war-driven supply shocks, rising energy prices, inflation, and recession fears, and leaders can quickly feel like they are carrying the whole enterprise on their back. That instinct is understandable, but it is also dangerous. In tough markets, leaders are expected to be the rock for their teams. Yet the real job is not to become a martyr to overwork. It is to stay clear-headed, preserve judgement, support the team, and keep the business moving through uncertainty. That is what leadership looks like when conditions get ugly. Why do leaders need to protect themselves during a crisis? Leaders need to protect themselves because when the leader collapses, the team loses its anchor. In a crisis, endurance matters, but judgement matters more. Post-pandemic business conditions have made this painfully obvious across Japan, Australia, the US, and Europe. Executives in hospitality, retail, logistics, manufacturing, and professional services have all faced different versions of the same pressure: unstable demand, staff anxiety, supply chain disruptions, and relentless financial stress. In that environment, leaders often feel they must work longer and harder to prove they are in control. The problem is that exhaustion does not produce authority. It produces mistakes. Like the captain of a sailing ship in rough weather, the leader's job is to guide the vessel safely, not to panic and exhaust themselves on deck. Do now: Protect your own energy as a business asset, not a personal indulgence. A tired leader cannot create confidence, make sound decisions, or steady the crew. Does working longer hours make leaders more effective? No, working longer hours does not automatically make leaders more effective. In fact, long hours under pressure often reduce decision quality, strategic thinking, and emotional control. A leader working eighteen hours a day may look heroic, but the maths tells a different story. If that leader has ten team members each working eight productive hours, the team generates far more total capacity than the boss ever could alone. The leader's job is not to outwork the team; it is to align, focus, and direct that combined effort. Research on executive fatigue and performance has consistently shown that sleep debt, chronic stress, and mental overload damage concentration and judgement. That is true whether you are running an SME in Brisbane, a sales team in Tokyo, or a multinational division in Singapore. Frenetic activity feels useful, but it often hides poor leverage. Do now: Stop confusing personal overwork with leadership value. Reinvest your time into prioritising, coaching, and clearing obstacles so the team's eighty hours beat your eighteen. What happens when leaders make decisions while exhausted? Exhausted leaders make foggy decisions, and foggy decisions are expensive. When your brain is crowded by stress, worry, and fatigue, you stop seeing options clearly. This is where many businesses enter a dangerous loop. The pressure rises, so the leader works even harder. Because they are tired, they make poorer calls. Those poorer calls create more problems, which creates even more stress. In cash-sensitive environments, especially in sectors hit hard by the pandemic or inflation, that spiral can become lethal. Preserving cash, retaining clients, keeping morale up, and choosing where to focus the team all require sharp thinking. Case studies and MBA frameworks are useful, but they do not fully prepare you for the hand-to-hand fight of survival. In those moments, clear thinking is a competitive advantage. Without it, even good businesses can slide into avoidable decline. Do now: Treat mental clarity as mission-critical. Before making major calls on people, clients, costs, or strategy, ask whether fatigue is distorting your judgement. What does real rest for leaders actually look like? Real rest is not just stopping work; it is recovering physically and mentally. Lying on the sofa while your mind is still burning through worries is not recovery. Many leaders think they are resting because they are not at the office or not on Zoom. But if their mind is replaying worst-case scenarios all night, they are not recharging. They are just being stationary. Real recovery means stepping far enough back from the chaos that the nervous system settles and the mind clears. For some leaders that may mean a full day off, better sleep discipline, a long walk, exercise, quiet time, or simply unplugging from constant messages. In Japan's high-pressure corporate culture, as in many other markets, leaders can feel guilty about stepping away. That guilt is misplaced. Recovery is not weakness. It is maintenance. A depleted leader cannot communicate hope with conviction. Do now: Build deliberate recovery into your leadership rhythm. Rest before breakdown, not after it, and come back with the energy to think, decide, and reassure. Should leaders focus on doing more themselves or supporting the team? Leaders in crisis should spend less time doing everything themselves and more time making the team effective. The leverage sits in the team, not in heroic solo effort. A common mistake in difficult periods is for leaders to dive into deals, firefighting, client calls, and problem-solving while leaving the wider team to "work it out". That feels decisive, but it often wastes the biggest advantage a leader has: multiplied effort. Whether in B2B sales, consulting, manufacturing, or services, the leader gets far more impact by ensuring people are doing the right things in the right way. That does not mean micromanaging. It means supporting, communicating, clarifying priorities, and keeping people aligned around survival and growth. Startups, family firms, and large corporations all face this same truth. The best leaders become a force multiplier. They do not hoard the burden; they distribute capability. Do now: Shift from personal output to team output. Invest in communication, coaching, and priority-setting so the team can act with confidence and consistency. How can leaders stay optimistic when business conditions are brutal? Leaders must become the fountain of optimism and hope, even when conditions are brutal. That optimism cannot be fake; it has to be grounded in energy, clarity, and believable action. When people fear for their jobs, clients, or the future of the company, they watch the leader closely. They do not need spin. They need a survival narrative: here is what is happening, here is what matters now, here is what we are doing, and here is why we still have a path forward. During recessionary periods, the leader's emotional tone spreads quickly through the organisation. If the captain looks frantic, the crew feels doomed. If the captain looks calm, realistic, and purposeful, people can keep moving. This is why stepping back for perspective is sometimes the strongest move a leader can make. A higher view of the battlefield often reveals better routes through the mud and blood. Do now: Give your team realistic hope. Reset your energy, clarify the plan, and communicate with conviction so people know what to do next and why it matters. Conclusion The old saying says that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. In modern business, that idea needs an upgrade. When the going gets tough, the best leaders do not simply grind themselves into dust. They step back, recover, think clearly, and then re-enter the fight with better judgement. That is not softness. That is leadership. Protect yourself so you can protect the team. Use your energy where it counts most: making decisions, creating direction, supporting people, and preserving the business. Yesterday's solutions do not always fit today's pressures. Smart leaders recognise that survival is not about working longest. It is about leading best. Next steps for leaders Audit your current energy, sleep, and decision quality. Identify where overwork is replacing leverage. Reset team priorities for the next 30 days. Create a simple, honest survival narrative for staff. Schedule recovery time before stress makes the decision for you.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 23, 2026 is: frenetic • frih-NET-ik • adjective Something described as frenetic is filled with excitement, activity, or confusion. The word is a synonym of frantic. // The event was noisy and frenetic, which prompted us to leave early. See the entry > Examples: “As Marty Mauser, a wannabe table tennis champion who dreams and deceives his way through his shamble of a life ... [Timothée Chalamet] injects his scenes with enough nervous energy to fuel a plane. Nowhere will you see a performance more frenetic or impressive.” — Ralph Jones, Vanity Fair, 9 Feb. 2026 Did you know? In modern use, frenetic can describe a focused and intense effort to meet a deadline, or dancing among a hyped-up crowd, but the word's Middle English predecessor, frenetik, had a narrower use: it was used to describe those exhibiting a severely disordered state of mind. If you trace frenetic back far enough, you'll find that it comes from Greek phrenîtis, a term referring to an inflammation of the brain. As for frenzied and frantic, they're not only synonyms of frenetic but relatives as well. Frantic comes from frenetik, and frenzied traces back to phrenîtis.

The New Moon in Virgo is not your average New Moon. Virgo is often associated with the humility, routine, decluttering, and wellness - and while these themes certainly apply to this New Moon, this lunation will be exactly square Uranus, the planet of revolution, freedom, and change, in the sign of Gemini. We could feel a need to break with convention or usher in dramatic change under this New Moon. We could also experience unanticipated changes under this lunation as well with unpredictable Uranus. Additionally, this is the first of two New Moons in the sign of Virgo, the second being solar eclipse on September 21st. So this New Moon could feel ‘eclipse-y' meaning there can be an eclipse flavor to this New Moon, pointing to more significant changes occurring in September when we have both a Lunar and Solar eclipse in the signs of Virgo and Pisces.What does this New Moon mean for your sign? Enjoy the video and happy New Moon!Chapters:0:00 Title03:21 New Moon Overview21:12 Aries23:14 Taurus 25:03 Gemini27:32 Cancer31:09 Leo32:59 Virgo36:26 Libra40:04 Scorpio42:27 Sagittarius44:53 Capricorn47:15 Aquarius50:21 PiscesWatch on YouTube:https://youtu.be/TEMWPKIqsgA?si=tTZwFYIrafhx-PBuBook a session with me:www.dogstaroracle.comSummer sale:https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/a8b42afaJoin my newsletter:https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/3WFqQqtEmail: akriech@dogstaroracle.com

Frenetic crowds are storming the White House like a Black Friday mob at Walmart!Only these are not shoppers scrambling for family needs – these are CEOs, lobbyists, and billionaires out to “get theirs” in the huge Trump-a-Thon sell-off of Presidential favors. Common folks need not apply, since MAGA, Inc. (Trump's political fundraising sack) charges a million bucks or more just to buy access to his golden throne.Once there, everything is for sale. One cryptocurrency huckster, for example, delivered his million to get into a candlelight dinner at Mar-a-Lago, where he pitched a business deal to Trump himself. Then, for an extra $200,000, the crypto-guy was allowed to “sponsor” the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn. Yes – they've even financialized and corporatized an apolitical, publicly-funded event for children!Not only is Trump being bought by Big Money, but he's also available for short-term lease. For example, rich businesswoman Elizabeth Fago leased him in April for some heavy lifting on a household chore. Her son Paul had been found guilty last year of tax crimes and was headed to prison. But a million dollar check to MAGA Inc. put her in direct touch with Mister Fix-It. Sure enough, once her check was cashed, the fortunate son was granted “a full and unconditional” presidential pardon – no jail time, no payment of restitution to his victims.When the New York Times asked about such corrupt selling of official favors, MAGA Inc. declared that Trump treats every American the same. So, there you have Trump's million-dollar definition of “American.” If you've got the million, you're in the club. If you don't, you're not.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Trips, games, instruction and fun...and that was just in the morning!

This weekend, Pastor Jim will hone in on BEAUTY as a key aspect of the faith. All beauty in our world harkens to the transcendent beauty of the divine. And to strive for a more just world is at the same time to strive for a more beautiful world. As a great theologian said “we must move people toward truth, goodness, and liberation through beauty. Frenetic and harried and labored activism won't shift people. We need to appeal to their dreams and hopes and sense of beauty.”

Film journalist and friend of the show Brandon Streussnig returns to discuss Danny Boyle's debut film Shallow Grave, a British riff on the 90s neo-noir template, self-described by Boyle and his collaborators as their take on the Coen's Blood Simple. The film chronicles a trifecta of beautiful, sociopathic yuppies sharing an Edinburgh flat (Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston, and Ewan McGregor) who unravel after the untimely death of their new roommate and the discovery of a suitcase full of cash. Frenetic, aesthetically bold, and brimming with terrific performances from its cast of newcomers, Shallow Grave stood in stark opposition to the more muted social realism of established British filmmakers of the era like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach and showcased the collaborative power of Boyle, McGregor, screenwriter John Hodge, and producer Andrew Macdonald only a handful of years removed from their landmark feature, Trainspotting.We discuss Boyle's aesthetic inclinations, his history in the theater, and how the cinematic medium can liberate a particular type of artist from the confines of the stage. Then, we unpack the film's stellar trio of performances, its economy of character, and especially McGregor's star-making turn that suggests the greatness he would achieve with Boyle in their next several collaborations. Finally, we explore the film's ire for post-Thatcherite individualism, its attacks on the moral vacuum of the upwardly mobile, the dramatic irony of a film about the corruptability of money even for those who don't need it.In addition, we spend a brief moment looking forward to Boyle's latest film 28 Years Later (a full Bonus episode on the film coming later this week) and what it supposes for Boyle's late period.Follow Brandon Streussnig on Twitter.

Previously we revisited Idlewild's 2000 breakthrough sophomore album 100 Broken Windows, but for this episode we're going backward to their 1998 debut. The punkier, more aggressive Hope Is Important leans into noisy, almost unpolished intensity, while moments of introspection hint at the more refined songwriting the band would develop on following albums. Frenetic guitars and urgent vocals create a chaotic yet compelling sound, with tracks like "When I Argue I See Shapes" showcase their knack for anthemic hooks. Though it may lack the polish of their later work, Hope Is Important captures Idlewild's youthful spirit and unfiltered passion.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Everyone's Says you're so Fragile 19:58 - You've Lost Your Way 25:54 - I'm Happy to be here Tonight 30:27 - A Film for the Future 34:34 - When I Argue I See Shapes Outro - Paint Nothing   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
