200 – Finale

All good things must come to an end.

After 8+ years, the time has finally arrived to hang up the podcasting gear on this ranking journey. Over the years, we have laughed, cried, passionately yelled at each other, and came together to rank numerous glorious Top 5 lists.

In this final episode, the A-Team (Tuong La, Angus MacDonald, Samantha Leggatt, & Leslie Cserepy) reminisce on the humble beginnings of the show, go through our favourite moments, hear from an all-star lineup of past guests, talk about what topics we would have done if this show kept going, and of course rank some shit (because obviously).

We want to thank everyone for joining Tuong La and all of our guests on this insane rollercoaster of a podcast where we ranked everything from the obscure, serious, thought provoking, delicious, silly, and most random topics we could think of. It was never about the lists (they literally don’t matter as the podcast title implies). It was all about building community, having interesting conversations, and coming together on a thing while having a whole heck of a lot of fun along the way. So with that said, we are beyond proud of what we achieved with Ranked.

So thank you for listening to Ranked: Top 5 Lists of Stuff That Don’t Matter and for being part of this special thing. See you around the PodCavern.

PS If you didn’t like or agree with any of our past Top 5 lists, in the holy words of the Mayor of the PodCavern Leslie Cserepy….Fuck you <3 Top 5, top 5, top 5. -Tuong

So Long, Partner

63 Disney Features, 28 Pixar Features, 20 Pixar Shorts, 7 Disney Direct to Home Video, 4 Disney Theme Parks, 2 Disney Novels, and 1 Stage Play. It’s hard to believe it but over the last 5 years, the Disney Dummies covered and talked about all that and more while getting into the thick about the good, bad, funny, and weird about all things Disney. We originally sought out just to watch all the Disney animated feature films but ended up loving doing this podcast so much we stuck around for much longer for all the spinoff series. Alas, all good fairytales must come to an end so join us as we close this magical chapter in our lives and make way for new beginnings as we take a well deserved rest from the show.

76 – Top 5 Video Games 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!

59 – Top 5 Marvel Cinematic Universe Moments

22 films that we love 3000!

11 years ago there was an idea, an idea to create a shared universe of remarkable movies based on comic books that would change everything in pop-culture and cinema as we know it. Like it or not, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not only the largest franchise in movie history but also has redefined genres, reinvigorated comics, and inspired people all over the world. With Avengers: Endgame, we have finally seen the “Infinity Saga” come to and end, and while there are more comic book movies that will surely come out, we have truly reached an end of an era. This week join Tuong La and the Assembled Avengers Matt Barrow, Stenley Philippe, and Stephen Peeling as they celebrate the last 11 years of MCU movies and use the Infinity Gauntlet to snap together a Top 5 list of the best moments!
