“I don’t condone this sexy yet reckless behavior, Susan Cooper!”
Paul Feig has brought some of the most iconic properties in the last few decades into the world from Freaks and Geeks to The Heat to even Bridesmaids. This week, we watch a Paul Feig film that isn’t talked about enough that is full of a non-stop barrage of jokes and laughs. So join Tuong and Super Spy Krystal Merrells as they talk about improv and the comedic brilliance of Melissa McCarthy in 2015’s Spy!

It’s time to dive into the deep blue ocean on this week’s episode of Ranked! We have touched upon how wild sea creatures are on a previous episode of Ranked (see Top 5 Interesting Animals You’ve Never Heard About), so it stands to reason that fictional sea creatures would be even WILDER. So join Tuong and The Upford Network’s /Natural Toonie’s Tom Zalatnai, Kendalyn Aldridge, and Greg Schulz as they sail through the vast expanse of the great blue sea to bring you a list of Top 5 Fictional Sea Creatures!

Ground Rules
Fictional nominations include anything from pop culture, books, movies, TV, etc.
If the fictional nomination is based on a real live sea creature, we will be considering only the fictionalized version of that creature (ie Free Willy)
Nominations must come from the sea/ocean but we won’t be TOO nit-picky on the bodies of water the creature comes from
You can nominate an entire species if there is not one specific character you want to nominate
Tie breaker consideration will be ‘How much time does this creature actually spend in water’. For example, if the creature is technically from the sea but they spend most of their time on land, is it really that great a representation of sea creatures?
Not a ground rule but humanoid sea creatures like Aquaman, are overall less interesting for this type of list.

“There Are Six, Not Five. There Is No Us Without Him.”
The Snydercut is one of the weirdest things to happen in film in a long time. The Justice League came out in 2017 which was finished by another director and had a sub-par reception to it upon it’s release. Since then, the internet and even cast members were demanding the big studios to help realize Zack Snyder’s original vision of this movie with #ReleasetheSnyderCut. With enough persistence and whining, the internet finally got it’s way and the people actually got a new cut of this movie. So join Tuong, Matt Barrow, and Angus MacDonald as they watch over four hours of brooding and a lot of ideas crammed into one thing as they talk about Zack Snyder’s Justice League!

**Imagine the following paragraph softly whispered in your ear**
You hear that? That’s the sound of an entire podcast episode dedicating to figuring out what the best sounds are! Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, has garnered immense popularity over the last decade. We all know sounds that we collectively disdain like nails on a chalkboard, but we often glossed over the sounds that we actually find enjoyable until ASMR came around. And while this episode is not strictly about ASMR, this week join Tuong La and the A-Team Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, and Leslie Cserepy as we rank the Top 5 Sounds that are sure to tickle your ears in the best way possible!

Ground Rules
A song is not a sound
A jingle does not count (ie the Mcdonald’s jingle)
You can’t nominate a chord or note (ie the chord of G) unless you associate an instrument that goes with it. Reasoning is because the chord of G, while the same note, comes out sounding different on a guitar vs piano.
Chymes or a sequence of sounds are okay if they serve a single purpose and it’s not like an advertisement.
Ringtones are dicey territory
No concepts of sounds (ie The sound of defeat).
If a thing produces multiple sounds then it counts

“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger! Can I take your order?”
Hey look, moves in the 90’s were weird. But they were also wonderful because sometimes an idea is so bananas that it wouldn’t work in today’s world of cinema. That’s why on this week’s episode, Tuong and Alli “Mondo Burger” Harris take a look at this very special moment in movie history and watch the classic Nickelodean film about fast food rivalry and “being a dude” – Good Burger!
