"I was saying Boo-urns" Ah The Simpsons. A show which is well regarded as one of the best TV shows of all time purely based on it's early seasons. While the show is still ongoing and has just completed its 31'st season, the magic of this beloved animated family started to wane somewhere after the first third of it's total run.

The saga of ranking fictional animals continues! The bond between horses and people is something special that we have witnessed in real life and in fiction.

We know we can't just eat one...

Comb back your mullets and perms because this week we are going back to the 80's! In many ways, the 80's were a much simpler time. A time where fashion was colorfully neon and bold, where people loved to actually go out to the movies and go dancing, and a time where random slang words were 'gnarly' and 'hella' plentiful. Music was particularly 'bitchin' during this time because it gave rise to some of the best karaoke songs and, not to mention, music videos that has ever existed. From whiny guitars to synth drums to dancing in a skin-tight outfit while dramatically belting out lyrics that put today's songs to shame - 80's music had it it all. This week join Tuong La and Tubular guests Axandre Lemours, Victoria Luloff, and Colleen Wang as they 'totally' come up with a 'rad' Top 5 80's Songs List!

Talkin' Tuong has always been a show about finding ways to creatively express ideas and thoughts about pop culture, movies, tv, video games etc. In these dark times, we have decided to shine whatever light we can by committing to producing more frequent episodes, in this period of isolation, so we can keep the conversation going while finding ways to have fun along the way.

Now let's get down to why we are all gathered here today. Movies. Oscar season is quickly approaching and every year on Ranked's birthday we do intensive research (aka binge) to discover the best movies of yesteryear. 2019 started off seeming like quite possibly one of the weakest years in movies in a long time, but in the last few months of the decade it managed to put out some truly remarkable films that managed to flip that entire narrative. So join Tuong La and Hollywood Big Wigs Nivala Maharaj, Doug MacKendrick, and Melanie Moshi as they vigorously regale and argue over the best movies of 2019!

We made it to 2020! A brand new decade of PodCavern is here and the gang is prepared for yet another year of Top 5 Lists! But before we can properly ring in the new year, as per every year, we must give some love to video games. At the outset, it seemed like 2019 would be an underwhelming year for games as the world prepares for a new generation of consoles in 2020. Turns out we were delightfully wrong! 2019 not only had some wild gaming moments but it also gave us meaningful free-to-play/subscription serviced games, expansions that felt like full games, and remakes of games that were built from the ground up that went above and beyond. So join Tuong La and Game Guru's Matthew Whalley, Angus MacDonald, and Ethan Howieson as they celebrate the best games of 2019! The post 76 – Top 5 Video Games of 2019 appeared first on PodCavern.

It’s also that time of the year where you cannot escape the magic of holiday music everywhere you go!

10 years of movies, that can't be THAT hard to Rank right?...right? The 2010 decade is coming to an end and, looking back, the movie landscape has shifted and changed drastically in the last 10 years. The Twenty-Tens gave rise to streaming, obligatory sequels, reboots, and shared universes; while many smaller indie films struggled to break through the box office. The amount of content we face these days is endless so coming with a list of our favorites was a tough one (especially since it's been such a great decade for movies). So join us as Tuong La and Sassy Cinephiles Taylor Fleming, Stephanie Ridgeway, and Sean Mulhern pull out all their movie knowledge and rank down the behemoth of a list that is Top 5 Movies of the 2010 Decade!

Listen and find out! The post Ep 20 – Jojo Rabbit, Parasite, The Mandalorian appeared first on PodCavern.

The best cheap beer that money can buy. Budget beers have been a staple for students, parties, camping, sports, and so much more since the dawn of beer. However, these days it's all about fancy 'shmancy' craft beers that are intricately poured with just the right amount of hops and unique flavors, which has been leaving our dear old friends ignored on that beer fridge shelf. Well not today! Today we celebrate cheap beers because sometimes money is tight and sometimes because we just want to have a damn inexpensive beer that gets the job done!
