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!

Ground Rules
Just for fun we are also pitting real kings vs fictional kings because it’s Ranked and we do that here
If the indvidual has “King” in the title it would technically count.
Someone whose regarded as a king but doesn’t necessarily come from “royal blood’ still counts.
That said, we don’t want to veer too far away from the spirit of the topic today so the list should still comprise of mostly what you would consider a traditional king and not all gag nominations where “king” happens to be in their name.
We are ranking on interesting kings not necessarily just “good kings”. For example the king could be a total jackass as long as they are interesting enough to back it up.

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!

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!

Games must have come out in 2020 and not just have gotten popular in 2020 (ie Among Us).
Expansions of games DO count so long as they bring in full game size experiences
Remakes of games DO count so long as they add something new, drastic, and is not just an uprezzed version of an older game. (ie counts if the remake was built from the ground up and had some obvious attention of detail added to it) Therefore, Super Mario 3D All Stars would not count because it very little work was done for this package.
Free to play games count if they came out in 2020
Early access games count but they should feel like more or less full game experiences and not at it’s very early stages of development
