A Top 5 fit for a King! The title of King is one the highest positions of powers that people across the world have yearned and fought for (maybe because you get a fancy crown and comfy velvet robe?). For everyone else, the King meant the ruler of a kingdom who called all the shots, where you just really hoped they were a kind King and not the type that believes in you know...an ol'fashion beheading. But what makes a good King or rather interesting King? This week we'll find out! Join Tuong La and Royal Court Jesters/ Pull the Plug's Justin Godelie, Shannon Godelie, and Dan Foerster as they obey the royal decree of the PodCavern and all hail the Top 5 Kings list!

"Where is Optimus Prime?!" Back in 2007 Michael Bay launched one the most beloved shows/toys from our childhood into a live-action franchise that took over the world by storm. After 4 sequels, he also ran that sucker right into the ground creating the most convoluted, explosion festish-y, and overly serious movies that were just supposed to be about transforming robots punching each other. We all were ready to write off Transformers for good until....now?! Join Tuong and Improv College's Vinny Francois as they make like Autobots and Roll Out their thoughts on 2018's latest Transformer's movie - Bumblebee!

This week, join Tuong and special guest Kadi Diop (YA!

At least we had video games in 2020. It is not breaking any new ground to say 2020 was a dumpster fire. In that raging dumpster fire though, there was a small little ray of hope and escapism in the name of ...video games! It is not hyperbole to say that video games provided that much needed comfort in these dark times to the entire world. And while 2020 brought out the worst in gamers (we're looking at you The Last of Us 2/Cyberpunk entitled knuckleheads), it also brought out some real fantastic game experiences that we were able to get completely immersed in. It gave us a way to connect with family/friends digitally, in a world where we couldn't physically see each other. So join Tuong La and 'Sus Gamers' Angus MacDonald, Ethan Howieson, and Matthew Whalley as they celebrate the best games of 2020! The post 101 – Top 5 Video Games of 2020 appeared first on PodCavern.

That's right! Join Tuong La and DIE HARD fan of Die Hard, Desiree Connors Warmington, as they talk about the early action hero days of Bruce Willis, why this movie is so dang popular over the holidays, and how good Alan Rickman's American accent is as they watch this 1988 classic to close off 2020!

Live from the North Pole, Leslie, Angus and Tuong gift your ears with a hot new take on a classic Christmas tale; A Christmas Carol! Tune in to hear the Tale of Ebeneezer , a crotchety old man with no heart, as he is visited by four....'Fantastic'....ghosts! This epic roller coaster has everything: A Christmas Past that goes to beginning of life itself, A Christmas Present spawned from a privilege competition, and A Christmas Future 57 years from now that, lets just say, has a few bugs that should have been tested! And there's a whooooole lotta cum jokes (because it's Christmas after all). Grab your nightgown, your stub of candle....you there! What day is it!?!? Punch Up Day! The post E57 – Bah, Punch Up!

“It's Turbo Time!"

Celebrating 100 episodes of Ranked! Almost 4 years ago there was an idea. An idea of Tuong uniting three other guests to bicker, banter, and passionately put together arbitrary Top 5 lists of anything and everything. Over the last few years we have ranked everything from Sandwich Toppings, to TV Theme Songs, to a variety of Fictional Animals. But for the 100th episode, we knew we had to go above and beyond to make a list that TRULY does not matter that also honours the legacy of all Ranked episodes (so far). So join us as Tuong La and the A-Team Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy look back on all of the winners of each Top 5 list we have ever done, pit them together in a battle royale of which #1 was the best, and record a marathon episode where we rank and order ONE HUNDRED EPISODES in Ranked's 100th Episode Spectacular!

"They may take our lives, but they'll never take away our Top 5 Lists!" Part of the staying power of a movie is an expertly delivered movie line.

Did... did that door just move? Paranormal Activity did the unthinkable: made just about everyone afraid of their own homes. In a stroke of genius, the series strips the haunted house story to its core and makes it relatable. Everybody knows the feeling of hearing footsteps at night, or maybe seeing some lights flickering, or portals that transport you to the early 1990s-- wait, what? The Paranormal Activity series starts firmly planted on a tripod but quickly eschews that for secret covens and time travelling camcorders. Yep.
