Ranked : Top 5 Lists Of Stuff That Don't Matter

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.

**Pushes glasses up while smirking** Japanese Animation, or Anime, has always been popular but only for a niche audience. Only in the last decade has it hit the mainstream in a big way where gone are the days (well...mostly) when people stick up their noses when you tell them you watch anime!

Pouring one out for all the movie deaths on the big screen. Death scenes in movies can be one of the most effective ways to keep the spirit of the film alive after it ends. A good movie death can range from gruesome, to heartbreakingly sad, to downright hilarious. Either way, when done right, it can make the audience elicit an emotion that connects ourselves to the movie and it's characters for years to come.

If you really 'mustache', yes this episode is all about facial hair. Facial hair has always had the qualities of completely transforming a person. When used correctly, celebrities can often shift their entire look for different roles and situations to be from good looking to DAMN good looking, leaving the rest of us patchy, uneven, peach fuzzed 'stached shlubs to shame.

Take a whiff outta this list! Fun fact: people can detect at least one trillion distinct scents (It's true! We Googled this)!

The Circle of Life made some cool weird shit... Let's face it, humans are boring. Sure we may be the dominating species on the planet but we are also in many ways just not that interesting. The world is full of exciting animals in the world, some that behave in peculiar ways and some that just look so strange that it basically looks like something that came out of James Cameron's Avatar.

"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. That said, at it's best, The Simpsons in it's prime has some of the snappiest/most hilarious dialogue, phenomenal visual gags, and the most heartwarming moments in TV history. This week join Tuong La and Attractive Shelbyville Cousins Matt Barrow, Taylor Fleming, and Samantha Leggatt as they 'Do the Bartman' while ranking Top 5 Simpsons Episodes!

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. There is something majestic and bad ass about these creatures that have stuck with us over centuries that we keep coming back to. In fiction in particular, we see these loyal animals in some of the most entertaining stories while also being the heart of why the main character often succeeds. Join Tuong La and Montreal Improv's Vinny Francois, Kadi Diop, and Stefan Spec as they gallop into your hearts and neigh out a Top 5 Fictional Horse list!

SOUPS ON! There's nothing like a big bowl of hearty warm soup to get your taste buds going.

Gotta Rank'Em All! ...okay maybe not all of them but you get the idea. For over 20 years, Pokémon is still, to this day, one of the most beloved franchises of all time. In fact in many ways, Pokémon has never been more popular - now catering to the adults who grew up with the franchise as well as the younger generation of newcomers...er trainers.

We know we can't just eat one... We were very lucky to record this episode pre-quarantine because live-sampling needed to happen (for research of course) to once and for all decide what the best chips are! These thin-sliced, deep-fried, crunchy snacks have been a staple in Snack Food Culture for centuries and we knew we had to do this episode justice. So join Tuong La and Potato Heads Hayley Kellett, Simone Dorie, and Leslie Cserepy as they get their sweet, salty, and savoury on and rank Top 5 Chips!  The post 83 – Top 5 Chips appeared first on PodCavern.

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!

It's-a-me, Mario! Mario is arguably the most iconic video game character of all time. Over the last couple decades, this pudgy little high-jumping Italian plumber has shaped the hearts and minds of gamers across the world and has consistently pushed the boundaries of what video games could be. From platforming, to party games, to karting around, to playing every conceivable sport - this one character has found ways to Nintendo-charm its way to being one of the all time greats of pop culture! So join Tuong La and Ninten-Nerds Alex Toth, Brian Costa, and Dan Foerster as they eat a power-up mushroom and storm their way through Bowser's castle while ranking a Top 5 Super Mario games list!
