Walking the red carpet one last time.

It's hard to believe that we have been ranking movies (almost) every year since our very first episode of this podcast back in 2017. In fact the whole conceit of this show came from first wanting to talk about our love of movies which eventually spun out to talking about all sorts of random topics. So it's very fitting that in our final year of Ranked we get to go back to where it all began and chat about the cinematic rollercoaster that we went through in 2024. So join Tuong La, Alyssa Wooldridge, Taylor Fleming, and Laura Gordon as they come out of the Criterion Closet one last time to rank Top 5 Movies of 2024.

Thanks for the meme-ories.

Memes have become a universal language of the internet, capturing our shared experiences and showcasing them in amusing ways. And while there are new memes popping up every second of every day, there are some that have pushed past the noise and solidified it's place on the internet hall of fame. So join Tuong La and Meme Lords Emma Currie, Braeden Etienne, and Jacob Barrick as they scour all corners of the internet to come up with a Top 5 All Time Classic Memes List.

In a land before time...

Dinosaurs? Overrated! Okay, maybe not completely because we actually did an incredible episode ranking Dinosaurs years ago...but there's a whole world of amazing prehistoric creatures beyond the T-Rex. So join Tuong and PAL-eontologists Desiree Connors Warmington, Geoff McBride, and Catherine Ballachey as they journey back in time to an era ruled by some of the most fascinating creatures that roamed the Earth and rank Top 5 Prehistoric Animals.

It's our final, epic Game of the Year ranking!

For the past 8 years, we've celebrated the awesome power that is video games with our GOTY deliberations. We've witnessed the gaming landscape change drastically over the years, but through thick and thin, we've delivered Top 5 lists of our favourite gaming experiences through rowdy and passionate debates. What makes PodCavern's GOTY lists special? They're crafted not by a gaming publication, YouTube/Twitch channel, or sponsored by a third party, but by everyday gamers who simply love video games and talking about them. We've gladly poured our blood, sweat, and pixels into this process year after year, playing games like it's our job (it's not!), just to create these lists, celebrate the medium, and frankly, have an excuse to nerd out about a topic that is near and dear to our hearts.

But now as this podcast is coming to an end, the day has come for us to rest, put down the controller, and make space for others to marathon video games and create their own lists. But not before one last victory lap! Join Tuong La and Gaming Legends Angus MacDonald, Ethan Howieson, and Mathew Whalley as they 'press start' together once more to rank Top 5 Video Games of 2024!

End of an Era...literally.

As Taylor Swift's epic Eras Tour comes to a close, we're taking a moment to celebrate the magic, the memories, and of course, the music from this beloved multi-talented icon. There are few artists that come to mind that have been able to capture the hearts and minds of their fans like Taylor has with her music. Her ability to combine her poetic brilliance with her ever evolving music has shaped her into the superstar sensation that she is today. So join Tuong La and fellow Swifties Laura Gordon, Amanda Gulka-Armstrong, and Kayla Snyder as they dive deep into all the eras of this legendary pop artist and rank Top 5 Taylor Swift Songs.

Get your groove on!

Throughout our time on this show we have listened and ranked A LOT of music spanning from the 80's, 90's, 2000's, and the 2010's. So where do we go from here? Backwards of course! It's time to end our pentalogy of ranking decades of music by boogying on down to the 70's. The 70's was a big turning point for contemporary music, elevating genres such as rock, reggae, funk, folk, and of course disco! The innovations from this decade set new standards for artistic freedom and creativity while being a powerful force for entertainment and social change. Suffice to say the 70's was, in fact, cool beans. So hang loose with Tuong La and foxy friends Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they stick it to the man one more time and bang out a dynamite Top 5 70's Songs list!
