That's a Good Point

Dion, Irv, and Jon revisit a topic they have ranked before with television theme songs.  However, this time there is the caveat that there are no lyrics to these songs (last time the songs ranked all had lyrics).  A spirited discussion is had and this time the fellas rank 10 different songs.  This is the longest ever episode of "That's a Good Point" but it comes with a 100% money-ba...

Dion, Irv, and Jon are joined by Chase and John Sneller to rank best tenderloins around the Earlham area.  The group of 5 went around central/western Iowa tasting tenderloins and taking notes on their favorite breaded pork tenderloins.  The discussion is fantastic as always.  Let 'em know your opinions and ideas on Instagram and Twitter @Thatsagoodpoin1 Theme: Protofunk by Kevin MacLeod Link: http...

Mike joins Dion, Irv, and Jon as they rank "fluke" seasons.  Some athletes had seasons that just stuck out compared to the rest of their careers and the fellas discuss which ones they felt were the biggest irregularities.  There was a discussion about what the "objective" of this episode should be.  What makes a one-season wonder?  Does a player have to have a great season and be "bad" the rest of...

Marnie joins the fellas as they rank movies abound bands or artists (sometimes referred to as a biopic, short for biographical picture).  They ruled out movies about fictitious bands so you won't hear discussion about Almost Famous or Spinal Tap.  The discussion is great as these are all fantastic movies.  Please enjoy the latest installment of That's a Good Point. Theme: Protofunk by Kevin MacLeo...

When the meal is all over and it's time for dessert, what's your favorite?  The fellas didn't go specific with this list, instead using broad categories.  Cakes, Candies & Confections, Cookies, Ice Cream, Bars, and Pies & Cobblers are discussed and rated by Dion, Irv, and Jon.  There's time for a start one-sit one-cut one with some specific desserts from the winning category.  As always, f...

Dion, Irv, and John tackle the unenviable task of ranking Johnny Cash songs.  There are literally dozens of different lists that will rank the legendary music artist's songs for you, but the fellas think they nailed it in this version.  Because Johnny Cash has so many beloved hits, narrowing down the list was nearly impossible and so there are 6 pre-ranked songs that get discussed that could go on...

Marnie joins Dion, Irv, and Jon to rank some common (or just plain funny) misheard lyrics.  How do you "rank" misheard lyrics?  It turns out our rankers put stock in a few different categories such as believable, humorous, commonly misheard, et. al.  Pardon the laughter as the discussion is lively and everyone enjoyed rehashing some of their own mistakes in trying to sing these songs. Theme: Proto...

What is the most successful jersey number of all time?  How do you compare one sport to another?  Dion, Irv, and Jon tackle those questions and more in this week's episode.  The fellas narrow down the list to what they feel are probably the best seven jersey numbers, then rank those.  Does your favorite jersey number show up on the list? A great discussion is had and this episode promises to live...

Dion, Irv, and Jon rank action movies released in the 1980's.  The toughest part of the list was probably cutting some fantastic action movies.  Quite a bit of discussion goes into trying to define what an action movie really is.  What 1980's action movies have you seen?  Which ones are your favorite?  What should have stayed on the list and not been cut?  Share your opinions on social media (Inst...

Signature sauces from chain restaurants get ranked this week by Dion, Irv, and Jon.  The fellas looked for sauces that were special or unique to the restaurants that made and served them.  How many have you tried?  Which ones would place high on your list?  What was left off the list?  There's also time for a fun start one, sit one, cut one.  Irv and Jon don't appreciate how Dion ranks his Mexican...

One of the best podcasts around is back and better than ever for a 6th season.  In this episode, Dion, Irv, and Jon rank Saturday Night Live characters that made multiple appearances on the show throughout its run.  This did not include impersonations of real people, but rather characters made for the show.  Buckle up and get ready for another fun ranking with the fellas.  As always, follow on Ins...

Irv is joined by Mike Rogers and Cory Houghton to rank attitude-era WWE theme songs.  The "attitude era" describes the WWE's (WWF at the time) programming and promotion of the late 90's and early 2000s.  The guys talk about the history of the songs themselves and the wrestlers that are associated with them.  You can reminisce and re-live the era as the fellas really enjoyed this topic. Follow us o...

On this week's episode, Dion, Irv, and Jon rank some iconic foods that are associated with a particular U.S. city or region.  No desserts made the list but Key Lime Pie still gets some recognition.  Certainly the fellas just went with which food they like to eat better but its close association with a specific area played into the rankings. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @ThatsaGoodPoin1; Them...

Who is the best sidekick?  What is a sidekick?  What makes a sidekick a good one?  Well, if you've ever wondered about the answers to those questions, then listen along as the fellas ponder the same questions.  They attempt to rank a top 6 sidekicks of all time and probably leave a few of your favorite off their list.  If so, you should let them know on Twitter or Instagram @ThatsaGoodPoin1. Pleas...

Dion, Irv, and Jon are joined by John Sneller to rank the sports rules they dislike.  In some cases, the fellas don't like the rule itself, whereas in other cases the rule is fine but the enforcement seems to be inconsistent or dreadful.  The discussion is lively and there are some disagreements, but it ends up being quite entertaining.  The conversation is so engaging that it gets stretched out a...

Dion, Irv, and Jon rank their favorite animated dogs.  Discussion about which cartoons dogs are the cream of the crop includes some interesting background on the dogs and a wonderful vocabulary lesson. If you don't know what "anthropomorphic" and "bipedal" mean after this episode, you're not paying attention.  There is a fabulous "Are You Kidding Me?" segment, a start one-sit one-cut one, and some...

Dion, Irv, and Jon share the origins of some well-known NBA nicknames then rank a list of their favorite names.  What are your favorites that didn't make the list?  Spoiler: there is no "King James", "Air Jordan", or "Hick from French Lick" so the fellas couldn't twist the voting to their favorite players.  The popular segment: "Are You Kidding Me?" makes a comeback and there's time for a start on...

Dion, Irv, and Jon rank the top comedy movies released in the 1990’s.  This list has sentimental value to the fellas as it is one of the first lists they ranked before becoming world-class podcasters.  It is a very difficult list to narrow down to just six movies but they were able to do it.  There is a time for a quick start one, sit one, cut one.  As always, let everyone know what you think on t...

As always follow on social media: Twitter & Instagram @ThatsaGoodPoin1 ; Theme...

Dion, Irv, and Jon are joined by Marnie to rank the best Christmas movies.  Some pretty heavy hitters don’t make the list, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a fantastic rating/episode.  A new segment titled “Are you kidding me?” is introduced as Irv gets to vent about why his favorite Christmas movie did NOT make the list.  As always, there is spirited discussion, good (great) points, and fun had by...

Season 5 of "That's A Good Point" is in the works and coming at you soon.  In the meantime, enjoy an encore presentation of Season 2's Best Thanksgiving sides.

In the Season 4 finale of That's A Good Point the fellas rank director Steven Spielberg's top movies.  With so many to choose from, the list had to be narrowed down to just seven.  That was quite a task in and of itself, but it was accomplished.  While Dion and Irv tried hard to stick to a system, Jon just went with his gut on what movie he liked watching the most.  It should be a fun listen.  Ple...

In this episode, Dion, Irv, and Jon rank their favorite arcade video games that made their debut in the 1980s.  If you were a fan of video games and/or heading to the arcade when you were a kid (and by kid, we're talking about those of you born in the 1970s), this is a fun episode for you.  There is time for a unique version of our fun game which is transformed into start 2, sit 2, cut 2. Follow u...

In this season's rendition of the multi-list blitz, the rankings of 6 different lists are discussed.  You won't get to hear the normal discussion as the rankings occur.  Instead, Dion, Irv, Jon, and various guests ranked the lists ahead of time and then briefly talked about why they ranked the lists the way they did while making good points.  Thank you to Marnie, John, Kevin, and Kyle who chipped...
