April 3, 2025 2:01:00 0 Comments

If it’s a jingle, let it mingle.

As much as we try to skip as many ads and commercials as we can this day in age, capitalism always finds a way to rears it’s claws to sink itself into our brain through the power of catchy advertising earworms. There’s an art to a commercial jingle that sets it apart from traditional songs. A good commercial jingle needs to catch your attention in a short span of time and make you subconsciously think about it, so when you are ready to make a purchasing decision it’s the first one you think of. It’s a strange and somewhat nefarious tradition but when done right at least you got something fun to hum along to! So join Tuong La and the A-Team Samantha Leggatt, Angus MacDonald, and Leslie Cserepy as they reminisce and sing along to some our favourite tunes that refuse to leave our minds and rank Top 5 Commercial Jingles.

187 – Top 5 Movies of 2024

February 20, 2025 2:50:22 0 Comments

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.

184 – Top 5 Video Games of 2024

January 9, 2025 3:23:52 0 Comments

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!
