It's another edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian and Liam are tackling Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning (2025), the explosive (and supposedly final?) chapter in Ethan Hunt's death-defying saga. Does Tom Cruise still deliver jaw-dropping stunts and spy-thriller spectacle—or is the mission starting to show its age? If it is the end, is this truly a satisfying send-off for the franchise, or are we looking at Fast & Furious–style diminishing returns? Has the series said everything it has to say—or is there still life in the IMF yet? Is the plot compelling, or just another excuse to jump off a mountain with a briefcase? Do the emotional stakes hit as hard as the explosions? And most importantly—how many masks is too many masks? Ian and Liam break down the set pieces, the pacing, the performances, and whether Final Reckoning delivers on nearly 30 years of buildup—or if it's time for Ethan Hunt to finally accept that some missions really are impossible. All that and more in this week's See It or Skip It—and then they tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

FIRST 36:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 36:00: Full Spoiler Review It's another Sunday edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian is joined by BFF of the BFE to tackle the Marvel anti-hero team-up Phase Five film Thunderbolts* (2025), Marvel's messiest group project yet.  Does Jake Schreier bring something fresh to a story about second chances and dangerous alliances—or is it all attitude with no real heart? Does the film's central theme and newest character go to a brave place for Marvel in discussing some very real places in the very silly comic book world or is it in danger of glorifying a self-destroying pattern of behaviour. Was Bucky actually beneficial in this story or was he just some MCU star power to give the group legitimacy.  Could the film have worked if we'd made Bucky the main character? Where does Thunderbolts* fit among Marvel's post-snap catalogue? Ian & James tackle all these questions and more in this week's See It or Skip It review of Thunderbolts*—and then they tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

FIRST 31:30: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 31:30: Full Spoiler Review It's another Sunday edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian is taking on Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler's dark new thriller starring Michael B. Jordan. Was this a smart reinvention of classic genre tropes or just another stylish slow-burn? Does Coogler bring something deeper to a story about survival and temptation—or is it all atmosphere without enough bite? Is Michael B. Jordan believable as a pair of men wrestling with his their legacies and reinventing themselves? You can see the material it draws from. Does Sinners do something new with it though or is it just a retread of places we've already been? Does Sinners lean too much into moody tension, or does it actually deliver emotional payoff? Is Sinners a future genre classic—or just an ambitious but uneven swing? Finally, does the movie stick the landing or does it just kind of suck? Ian tackles all these questions and more in this week's See It or Skip It review of Sinners—and then tells you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

You know we love our wrestling here at the BFE (well… some of us do). Join Ian as we once again break the BFE format—this time to take a deep dive into WrestleMania 41 (Night Two). We're asking the big questions: how long can you keep someone a heel when the crowd is clearly with them? Was Bayley hard done by? Did WWE finally get held to account tonight after tempting fate for 20 years?  Can you assign Travis Scott as a proxy for The Rock? What happens if the audience don't know your pop culture references or personalities? Is the Main Event the right time for a live read for a sponsor? Did AJ Styles just give Logan Paul his worst WrestleMania match ever? And is there a ceiling on what you can do with Drew McIntyre? Plus, what wrestling pet peeves does Ian disclose tonight? We'll tackle all of that and more from WrestleMania 41 (Night Two)—and of course, we'll tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

You know we love our wrestling here at the BFE (well… some of us do). Join Ian as we once again break the BFE format—this time to take a deep dive into WrestleMania 41 (Night One). We're asking the big questions: what do you do when a wrestler really isn't making progress, is there a babyface team worth cheering for on Raw, without strong babyfaces how do you make believeable heels?  Should WWE stop mentioning Big E if there's no chance of him being active in any capacity, is Tiffany Stratton ready for her spot? Was Charlotte Flair trying to sabotage her own match? Will Chad Gable ever get a match now that newcomers Rey Fenix and El Grande Americano have made their WrestleMania debuts and what did Paul Heyman do in the Main Event? We'll tackle all of that and more from WrestleMania 41 (Night One)—and of course, we'll tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

FIRST 19:30: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 19:30: Full Spoiler Review Give em' the old Razzle Dazzle, Razzle Dazzle 'em. This week, we dive into The Last Showgirl (2024)—a poignant and surprisingly intimate drama that shines a spotlight on the final curtain call of a forgotten performer. Starring Pamela Anderson in a career-redefining role, the film follows a seasoned Las Vegas showgirl grappling with what comes after the music fades and the makeup comes off. We'll examine the storytelling—Does The Last Showgirl speak to something deeper than a typical showbiz redemption arc? How does Pamela Anderson anchor the film with surprising depth, vulnerability, and quiet power? And perhaps most importantly: how does it explore the things we tell ourselves to keep going—the inner monologues we cling to when chasing the happy endings we think we deserve?  We'll also break down the film's tone and presentation—Is it a loving tribute to old-school showbiz, or a eulogy for what was left behind? Do the glimmers of glamour still matter when they're tinged with loneliness and longing? And is this a film that requires nostalgia for the past—or is it more about the universal fear of being forgotten? Finally, could this film have been made with anyone else in the lead role or is the whole film a reflexive meta-narrative on the lead actress herself? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the film and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 18:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 18:00: Full Spoiler Review This week, we step into the world of fairy tales as we take a closer look at Disney's Snow White (2025)—a bold reimagining of the classic animated film that started it all. Starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, this live-action adaptation promises to blend timeless magic with modern sensibilities and updated messaging for a new generation. Join Ian (solo) as he questions the internal logic and soundtrack order of the film, dissects Rachel Zeigler's commentary about the film and if she's done critical damage to her own film as she was cast in a story she seems to dislike so much. Finally, Ian brings up his own princess problem and asks if Disney remakes can survive this? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the film and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 40:20: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 40:20: Full Spoiler Review We do musical theatre together.  This week we dive into the world of rom-coms this week, and take a closer look at Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, the latest chapter in the iconic, heartwarming saga of everyone's favorite single woman, now 50-something and navigating life, love, and motherhood. Starring Renée Zellweger this film promises to explore the joys and challenges of middle-aged romance with all the humor and vulnerability we've come to expect from the Bridget Jones series. Join Ian and Liam as we step into Bridget's world again to see if the film delivers the nostalgic charm we've missed or if it falters in its attempt to explore the realities of aging, dating, and starting over. Can this film still capture the essence of what made the series so beloved, or does it try too hard to stay relevant in a modern world? We'll examine the storytelling—Does the film successfully blend the humor and emotional depth of Bridget's character with the complexity of her new life? Is it a satisfying conclusion to her journey or just another chapter that tries to recapture the past?  Does Bridget's storyline still resonate with audiences after all this time, and how has her character evolved? We'll also break down the film's tone and style—Does the film manage to balance its emotional beats with the signature quirkiness of the franchise, or does it lean too heavily into sentimentality? Does it still feel fresh, or does it rely too much on nostalgia?  Do you have to have seen the other films in the series?  Do you have to have grown up with the films in real time? Finally, we'll debate whether Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy strikes the right balance between the lighthearted and the heartfelt. Does it deliver a satisfying and meaningful update to Bridget's story, or does it feel like an unnecessary revisit that doesn't add much to the series? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the film and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

Claim the early bird sale (limited-time) at unlockgodmode.org * * * In Feed My Sheep, Neville Goddard explores the biblical metaphor of shepherding as a call to consciously rule and direct our thoughts. He explains that most people allow their minds to wander aimlessly, much like sheep without a shepherd, but true mastery requires feeding and disciplining the mind to manifest desires effectively.Key Teachings1. The Meaning of "Feeding the Sheep""Feed my sheep" means to shepherd our thoughts deliberately.Thoughts, like scattered sheep, must be gathered and directed toward a chosen outcome.The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 illustrates that mental faculties must be actively developed—unused abilities atrophy like an unexercised muscle.2. Israel is Within, Not an External NationNeville interprets biblical Israel not as a geographic nation, but as ideas and desires scattered within the mind."Jacob" represents our imagined desires before they take form in the physical world."Esau" symbolizes external reality—the physical, visible world.To bring "Jacob" to the Lord means to assume and persist in the reality of our desires until they manifest.3. Moving from Servant to SonThe spiritual journey follows three stages:Servant – Learning to direct thought and consciously manifest.Friend – Developing a close relationship with the deeper self (God).Son – Realizing oneself as the divine creator, one with God.We begin as servants, proving our faith by demonstrating control over our reality.Once mastery is achieved, we become friends of God, communing with Him directly.Finally, we awaken to our divine nature and recognize ourselves as sons of God.4. The Power of Assumption in ManifestationSeeing a desire clearly in the mind's eye is seeing Israel.Occupying the state of the wish fulfilled is bringing Jacob to the Lord.Success is not found in the external world but within, through assumption.To manifest, one must move from merely seeing a desire to thinking from it—feeling as if it is already real.5. The Role of Faith and Testing the LawNeville urges us to test these principles by consciously manifesting for ourselves and others.We can prove we are "servants" by bringing about small, tangible changes in our lives.Success in these small tests strengthens our faith and moves us closer to divine realization.To not test these principles is to bury our talents, like the servant in the parable who hid his gift in fear.Practical ApplicationChoose a Desire – Clearly define what you or someone else wants.See It as Already Real – In your mind's eye, vividly imagine it as a present fact.Think from the State – Assume and persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled.Disregard Physical Reality – Ignore contrary evidence in the external world.Remain Faithful Until It Hardens Into Fact – Continue assuming until it manifests. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, thi...

FIRST 37:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 37:00: Full Spoiler Review Another Oscar week See It or Skip It has us exploring this year's Best Picture field a little deeper by diving into the striking The Brutalist (2024), now playing in select theaters. Directed by Brady Corbet and starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce, this sweeping historical drama promises to blend grand ambition with intimate storytelling. Join Ian and Hermes as we step into the austere world of The Brutalist to see if it delivers a compelling, thought-provoking portrait of art and survival or if it buckles under the weight of its own vision. Does it bring a fresh perspective to historical dramas while exploring deeper themes, or does it rely too heavily on its style without enough structural integrity? We'll examine the film's storytelling—What larger themes and ideologies does it lean into? Is it a deeply personal immigrant story, a meditation on artistic resilience, or something else entirely? How does Adrien Brody's performance anchor the film, and does he bring the emotional depth needed for such a role? And how does Felicity Jones complement or contrast him?  We'll also break down the film's visual and atmospheric elements. Did the stark cinematography and production design elevate the film's themes, or did they overshadow its emotional core?  Finally, we'll debate whether The Brutalist achieves its ambitious goals. Does it leave a lasting impact as a modern cinematic statement, or does it feel too detached for its own good?  Yes, it's clever but is it fair to ask a film to 'get' a movie on such an abstract level? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 33:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 33:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us exploring this year's Oscar field a little deeper by diving into the mind-bending The Substance (2024), now playing on MUBI (in the US/UK). Directed by Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid, this psychological body horror promises to push boundaries and challenge audiences with its bold, unsettling vision. Join Ian and Shai as we step into the eerie world of The Substance to see if it delivers a chilling, thought-provoking experience or if it crumbles under the weight of its ambition. Does it bring a fresh perspective to horror while exploring deeper themes, or does it lean too heavily on shock value without enough... substance? We'll examine the film's storytelling—What larger themes and ideologies does this lean into or is it just a straight up horror film? How does Demi Moore's performance anchor the film, and does she reinvent herself in this daring role? And how does Margaret Qualley complement or contrast her, adding to the film's psychological intensity?  And do you know whose kid she is?  Ian couldn't believe it. We'll also break down the film's striking visuals and grotesque horror elements.  Did the film's themes of identity and transformation resonate, or did they get lost in the chaos? And how does the film's score heighten the unsettling atmosphere?  And how was this film snubbed in the cinematography category? Shai couldn't believe it. Finally, we'll debate whether The Substance can overcome some questions in its own internal logic. Does it deliver a profound, lasting impact, or does it leave you more confused than captivated?  We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 35:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 35:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the highly anticipated Captain America: Brave New World (2025), now playing in theaters. Directed by Julius Onah and starring Anthony Mackie and Harrison Ford, this latest entry in the MCU marks a new chapter for the Star-Spangled Avenger. Join Ian and James as we step into a post-Endgame world to see if Brave New World soars as a worthy successor to the Captain America legacy or if it stumbles under the weight of expectation. Does it honour Steve Rogers' past while firmly establishing Sam Wilson as his own Cap, or does it play it too safe without enough bold ambition? We'll examine the film's storytelling—Does it justify its place in the MCU after so much time since Falcon and the Winter Soldier? How does Anthony Mackie fare in his first solo Captain America outing, and does he bring the same leadership and presence as Chris Evans once did? And how does Harrison Ford's debut as Thunderbolt Ross shake up the Marvel landscape? We'll also break down the action and spectacle—Are the fight sequences and choreography on par with the intense, grounded combat of The Winter Soldier? Does Julius Onah bring a fresh visual style to the franchise? Did Marvel choose the right villain to challenge Sam Wilson's Cap?  Finally, we'll debate whether Brave New World stands strong as a new era for the character or if it struggles to break free from Steve Rogers' shadow. Does the film move the MCU forward in an exciting way, or is it another formulaic installment?  We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

 I took some time on The Debbie Nigro Show this week to talk about TIME, not the magazine—though that would be fun—but the concept of time, how we use it, and about a mind-blowing new invention that's shaking up the world of luxury watches to display time. This one's a game-changer!  I was scrolling through Instagram when I spot a post from my friend Rob Weintraub, manager of Manfredi Jewels in Greenwich, CT. Now, if you love watches—or just admire fine craftsmanship—Manfredi is the place to know about. (I know this firsthand because I was so impressed with owner Roberto's expertise and his entrepreneurial journey, I encouraged him to let me tell his story to the world which we did in an 8-part series of podcast interviews called ‘The Rare Watch Man' on his website ManfrediJewels.com.)  Anyway, what I saw on Instagram wasn't just any post. It was something I'd never seen before. A watch. On a wall. As a CLOCK. Wait, what?   Introducing WOW by KERIS  If you own a stunning luxury watch, (or a have a watch collection) you likely only wear one 2% of the time? That's the reason the folks at WOW by Keris created an invention that could help you enjoy your watch a lot more of the time.  WOW is a sleek, high-tech display that turns your luxury wristwatch into wall art—and a fully functional wall clock! You simply slide your watch into the side of the device, and voilà! It's projected onto a beautiful screen, showing off every intricate detail of its craftsmanship.  Rob discovered this genius invention at Watches and Wonders, the biggest watch exhibition in the world, held annually in Geneva, Switzerland. Among all the glitzy timepieces and innovations, WOW was the standout. And guess what? Manfredi Jewels is one of only two places in the entire United States where you can get it!   Why Watch Lovers Might Love This   ·      Showcase Your Collection – Why let your luxury watches sit in a drawer when you can put them on display? ·      Functional + Beautiful – It's not just a statement piece—it actually tells time! ·      A Worthy Investment – High-end watches appreciate n value. Now, you can enjoy them every day.   ·      Customizable to Your Style – Available in multiple finishes or match it to any Pantone color to blend seamlessly into your home.   How Much Does WOW Cost? The base model is $5,990, and if you want a custom color or stand, you can upgrade for a bit more. Orders take about 6-8 weeks, but Manfredi has some in stock now if you're ready to take your watch obsession to the next level.   Want to See It in Action? Head over to the Manfredi Jewels store on Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, CT. Big thanks to Rob Weintraub for joining me —and for always keeping an eye on the latest and greatest in the watch world.   Enjoy this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.

Tera Wages is joined by Bridgett Blood and Phyllis Hill to explore the concept of Psycholation—a state of psychological isolation where people experience emotions alone, even when surrounded by others. They discuss how past experiences can make us want to keep pain to ourselves and the impact it has on relationships and mental well-being. Bridgett shares how she overcame isolation, while Phyllis and Tera get into the importance of safe connections and finding trusted people to process emotions with. They also provide steps for breaking out of Psycholation, including identifying safe relationships, expressing needs, and seeking supportive communities. Tera, Bridgett, and Phyllis will give you encouragement to recognize emotional patterns, build trust, and reach out for connection instead of carrying burdens alone.

FIRST 26:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 26:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the highly anticipated sequel Gladiator II (2024), now playing in theaters. Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and Pedro Pascal, this follow-up to the 2000 epic seeks to recapture the grandeur and intensity of its predecessor. Join Ian and Megan as we journey back to ancient Rome to see if Gladiator II stands victorious in the Colosseum of cinematic sequels or if it falls beneath the weight of high expectations. Does it honor the legacy of the original while carving out its own identity, or does it merely retread old ground without fresh ambition? We'll examine the film's bold storytelling choices—Does it justify its existence nearly 25 years after the original? How does Paul Mescal fare as the new lead, and does he bring the same gravitas Russell Crowe once did? And how do Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal elevate (or overshadow) the narrative? We'll also explore the visual spectacle and action sequences—Does Ridley Scott still reign as the master of historical epics? Are the battle sequences and cinematography breathtaking enough to rival the Academy Award-winning original? Did the filmmakers choose the wrong character to center the film around? And does the film's score, now helmed by a new composer, evoke the same emotional resonance as Hans Zimmer's legendary Gladiator soundtrack? Finally, we'll debate whether Gladiator II benefits from its legendary namesake or if it struggles under the pressure of following such an iconic film. Does the weight of expectation help or hinder its storytelling? And, of course, we'll discuss the one scene that Megan just can't forgive—will you feel the same way? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 39:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 39:00: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the highly anticipated musical adaptation Wicked (2024), now playing in theaters. Directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey,  Join us in the magical land of Oz as we explore whether Wicked (2024) soars on its broomstick or crashes under the weight of its lofty ambitions. Does it deliver a spellbinding tale of friendship, morality, and societal expectations, or does it struggle to transition its stage-bound magic to the big screen? We'll delve into the controversy surrounding the viral fan-made poster—Was it intentionally hurtful, did it mislead audiences and did itovershadow the film's official marketing? And how does our deep familiarity with the iconic musical affect our ability to judge it as a film rather than a successful stage adaptation? Does Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba anchor the film with the emotional gravitas the story demands? Can Ariana Grande's Glinda strike the perfect balance between charm and depth? Were these casting choices legitimate or mere stunt casting designed to draw headlines? Finally, we'll debate The Guardian's scathing critique of the film as “self-indulgent.” Does Wicked lean too heavily on nostalgia and grandeur at the expense of narrative cohesion? And does the film fulfill the promises it sets up in its breathtaking opening sequences, or does it falter as it nears the final curtain? We'll tackle all these questions as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 32:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 38:20: Full Spoiler Review This week's See It or Skip It has us diving into the newly released papal thriller Conclave, now playing in theaters. Directed by Edward Berger and starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow, the film takes us deep into the secretive and politically charged world of Vatican intrigue, where cardinals convene to elect the next pope under extraordinary circumstances. Ian is prepared to be the dean of the discussion when a strange new Cardinal, Ryan turns up to direct the proceedings in a different directon.  Join us in our sequestering, as we explore whether Conclave delivers a gripping tale of power, morality, and faith, or if it struggles to engage its audience with its intense but dialogue-heavy storytelling. Does Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of the conflicted Cardinal Lomeli carry the emotional weight of the film? How do the performances of Tucci and Lithgow heighten the stakes? And does the movie strike the right balance between theological reflection and political tension?   We'll tackle all these questions – including whether Conclave fufills the promises it makes in the first two acts as the film approaches its climax. – as we dissect the movie and tell you if we think you should  should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

Xmas Special: Investing in Software: Alternatives To Project Management For Software Businesses With Vasco Duarte In the grand finale of the “5 Wishes for 2025” series, Vasco Duarte tackles the chaotic nature of software development and why traditional project management just doesn't cut it. Drawing on lessons from weather models, butterflies, and Agile practices, Vasco presents a bold manifesto for how we can thrive in uncertainty. Chaos Theory and Software Development “Project management is like trying to predict where a butterfly will land after flying through a hurricane – good luck with that!” Vasco begins with the story of Edward Lorenz, the MIT meteorologist who discovered what was later called the “butterfly effect.” This concept illuminates and explains the unpredictability of software development, where tiny changes can lead to massive, unexpected consequences – like a simple tweak spiraling into a full system refactor. Why Traditional Project Management Falls Short “Planning your year's meals in January? That's about as realistic as predicting October's sushi cravings!” Vasco humorously dismantles the premise of project management, which assumes stability, predictability, and complete information upfront. While Agile provides a more flexible approach, it's often misused as “project management in disguise,” failing to unlock the true potential of adaptability. The 2025 Manifesto: A New Way to Invest in Software “Loving Gantt charts is like loving fax machines – there's a better way!” Vasco outlines his four-point manifesto for how organizations can thrive in uncertainty: Fund Software Incrementally: Treat funding like stock market investing – small, regular investments over time. Think Like an Investor: Focus on maximizing returns, not rigidly executing plans. Experiment by Default: Acknowledge that the best ideas come from testing and iterating. Give Teams End-to-End Ownership: Empower teams to own their work from idea to delivery, eliminating micromanagement. The Need for Agility at All Levels “Scrum teams in a project management organization are like race car drivers stuck in traffic jams – all that potential, nowhere to go!” Vasco emphasizes that agility must extend beyond individual teams. Organizations need to embrace Agile principles at every level to avoid stifling innovation and potential. And his approach to funding and managing software investments does exactly that: bring agility to the decision making forums in the organization, instead of keeping it at the team level. A Wish for 2025: Embrace the Chaos “Butterflies don't follow project plans, and neither does software development!” Vasco's final wish for 2025 is for organizations to stop forcing software into rigid project management frameworks. Instead, they should embrace the unpredictable nature of development, leveraging incremental funding, iterative experimentation, and team empowerment to thrive in uncertainty. See It in Action: Global Agile Summit 2025 “Want to see how real organizations are thriving in chaos? Join us in Tallinn!” Vasco invites listeners to the Global Agile Summit 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia, where forward-thinking organizations will share their stories of breaking free from traditional project management.

Xmas Special: Keep Your Backlog Microscopic - The #NoBacklogs Revolution With Vasco Duarte In the fourth episode of the “5 Wishes for 2025” series, Vasco Duarte takes on a common yet overlooked productivity killer: the monster backlog. With humor, relatable analogies, and practical advice, Vasco shares how organizations can turn their overwhelming backlogs into powerful tools for focus and impact. The Backlog Problem: When More Becomes Too Much “Your backlog should be like your fridge, not your basement – keep only what you'll use soon, not what you might need someday!” Vasco opens by comparing bloated backlogs to storage boxes filled with old cables and chargers: seemingly useful but rarely touched. Sharing the story of Juha, a leader overwhelmed by a five-year backlog of epics, Vasco highlights how backlogs can grow out of control, becoming a source of stress rather than a tool for productivity. A #NoBacklogs Approach to Backlog Management “Your backlog should only contain work for the next 2-3 sprints. That's it!” Vasco introduces a game-changing rule of thumb: Short-Term Focus: Limit the backlog to items that can be completed within the next 2-3 sprints. Medium-Term Planning: Use a problem-centric roadmap to outline key issues to tackle in the next 6-9 months, and a technology strategy to align on longer term tech priorities (more on that in an upcoming episode) Long-Term Vision: Create a clear vision document to connect today's work to future goals. By managing backlogs with these three distinct timelines, teams can regain clarity and focus without sacrificing strategic alignment. The Problem-Centric Roadmap: A Tool for Clarity “Think of it as three zoom levels on your product map – focus on what you need today, tomorrow, and the distant future.” Vasco explains how a problem-centric roadmap helps teams prioritize medium-term goals by focusing on the most critical customer problems. Combined with a clear long-term vision, this roadmap empowers teams to align their efforts without being overwhelmed by irrelevant details. The Hidden Danger of Monster Backlogs “At conferences, I've met teams with 10-year-old backlog items – that's like keeping your Y2K plans ‘just in case'!” Vasco shares surprising stories of teams with decade-old backlog items. These “zombie tasks” highlight the need for a system to prevent backlogs from growing unchecked. Without proper management, backlogs can cause anxiety and hinder teams from delivering value. A Wish for 2025: Make Backlogs Short And Easy To Manage! “Let's turn our backlogs back into the focusing tools they were meant to be.” Vasco's fourth wish for 2025 is to see teams use backlogs as powerful prioritization tools, not bottomless pits of forgotten ideas. By embracing a short-term backlog, medium-term roadmap, and long-term vision, teams can stay focused, aligned, and productive. See It in Action: Global Agile Summit 2025 “Want to learn how real teams are taming their monster backlogs? Join us in Tallinn!” Vasco invites listeners to the Global Agile Summit 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia, where teams will share practical strategies for managing backlogs effectively.

Xmas Special: Running Experiments Over Managing A Tasklist, aka The Backlog With Vasco Duarte In the third episode of the “5 Wishes for 2025” series, Vasco Duarte takes aim at one of the most common anti-patterns in software development: the obsession with managing tasks instead of discovering what truly works.  He calls on teams to shift their mindset from backlog management to running experiments, creating a culture of learning and rapid innovation. From Backlog Secretary to Product Scientist “Managing a backlog is like planning a road trip by focusing on the gas stops instead of the destination.” Vasco reflects on how teams often lose sight of their goals, becoming bogged down in task management instead of pursuing real customer value. He humorously compares this approach to being a “backlog secretary,” organizing tasks while forgetting why the project began in the first place. His solution? A radical shift from task obsession to a learning-first approach driven by rapid experiments. The Power of 24-Hour Experiments “Why wait for weeks to learn something you could test in a day?” Vasco shares real-world success stories of teams embracing a rapid experimentation mindset: • The Skeptical Client: In just 48 hours, this team launched two market experiments and gained actionable feedback. • The Experiment-First Startup: Meeting twice weekly to design and run experiments, this startup learns more in a week than most teams do in a month. These examples showcase how rapid testing leads to faster learning and greater customer impact. The Build-Measure-Learn Framework “Or as I like to call it, the ‘Question-Experiment-Insight' cycle – it's like having a GPS for product development.” Vasco introduces a three-step approach to running experiments: 1. Start with a Concrete Goal: Define measurable business targets using a Business Value Equation. 2. Create a Metrics Tree: Break down goals into daily metrics that track progress. 3. Experiment, Experiment, Experiment: Test new features, tweaks, and ideas quickly to gain insights and adjust course. He highlights a team's transformation from a “feature factory” to “experiment mode,” where the Product Owner posed questions and the team creatively solved them. This cycle drives meaningful insights instead of aimless task completion. A Wish for 2025: From Features to Insights “A backlog full of tasks is like a restaurant full of recipes – it means nothing until you know what your customers actually want to eat!” Vasco's third wish for 2025 is a world where teams prioritize learning over task management. By embracing the “Question-Experiment-Insight” cycle, teams can focus on solving customer problems and creating real value. This mindset shift transforms teams from task managers into product scientists, driving faster, smarter innovation. See It in Action: Global Agile Summit 2025 “Want to learn how real teams are running experiments and making an impact? Join us in Tallinn!” Vasco invites listeners to the Global Agile Summit 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia, where teams will share stories about adopting rapid experimentation.

FIRST 38:20 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict AFTER 38:20 it's a full spoiler review This week's See It Or Skip It has us diving into the brand-new Amazon Prime thriller Red One, a film that pairs Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in an action-packed holiday adventure. Combining over-the-top stunts, Christmas magic, and plenty of jokes, Red One attempts to reimagine the holiday genre – but who exactly is it reimagining it for? Ian is joined by his head of security, Liam, as we unpack whether Red One delivers enough thrills and holiday cheer to captivate audiences or if it leaves viewers wondering who this film is really meant to please. Is it a family-friendly romp, an edgy action-comedy, or something awkwardly caught in between? Does Dwayne Johnson's larger-than-life charisma mix well with Chris Evans' charm, or do they feel mismatched? And how does the film's tone juggle Santa Claus lore, epic battles, and heartwarming moments without losing the plot? We'll tackle all these questions – including whether Red One truly understands its audience – as we dissect the movie and decide if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 34:00 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict AFTER 34:00 it's a full spoiler review This week's See It Or Skip It has us diving into the brand-new Netflix thriller Carry-On, a film that sees Taron Egerton stepping into the high-stakes world of airport paranoia and suspense. Join us as we break down this intense, edge-of-your-seat story of a TSA agent blackmailed into smuggling something dangerous onto a Christmas Eve flight. Ian is joined by Bootleg Kev as we discuss whether Carry-On delivers enough tension to keep us gripped, how Taron Egerton holds up in this darker role, how this film may have borrowed a particular action sequence aesthetic from another Taron Edgerton film, and if the plot stays airborne or crashes under the weight of its premise. Plus, Ian keeps drawing parallels to a pair of 90s action thriller classics – but which ones? We'll answer all these questions and more as we dissect Carry-On and then tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!

FIRST 29:00 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict AFTER 29:00 it's a full spoiler review This week's See It Or Skip has us talking about the sequel to one of Disney's most beloved films of the computer animated era. Join us as we look at Moana 2 as Moana is on a quest to unite all the people of the ocean with the help of Maui, Hey Hey, Pua, but not Ron Clements, John Musker or Lin-Manuel Miranda.  Ian is joined by BFF of the BFE: Juleen as we discuss whether the original film needed a sequel, do the new songs hold up with the old ones, if they're creating a Moana Cinematic Universe and Ian keeps comparing Moana to a high-concept film of a much different genre - but which one? We'll answer all these questions on Moana 2 and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.   ca6833bd93b7cabefe7b648d443e4d8c3983187b

We discuss whether this film can touch the lofty standards created by The Last Dance, if they overstayed with certain talking heads and were they successful in establishing the Yankees as villains in this piece.  Also, we ask that most pesky of all questions on the BFE, did they get the pacing right?  We'll answer all these questions on The Comeback: The 2004 Boston Red Sox and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

You pray and pray and PRAY over something, and nothing seems to happen. You are desperate for a situation to change but matters only worsen the more you plead with God about them. Today on Rinse and Repeat, we see a night when at first, nothing seems to be happening at all. A king, in his chambers, has insomnia and calls for a boring history book to be read to him, that he might fall back to sleep. And yet, though nothing seems to be happening at all, that very history book, on that very night, is the answer to all the prayers of all God's people! Today's message in Esther 6 is about us walking by faith and not by sight when it seems nothing is happening. I have entitled the message "Even When I Don't See It," because even when we can't see it or feel it, we can rest assured, God is working. Turn to Esther, chapter 6 for today's episode of Rinse and Repeat! (RAR2024EP44) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carol-eskaros/support
