We're feeling the need for speed on this week's episode. Three decades later, Maverick remains one of the roles that Tom Cruise is most recognized for and the style of filmmaking that movies like this helped usher in is still being imitated in modern blockbusters. It's a great big serving of 80s cheese, so let's see if Top Gun is still the best of the best or if we've lost that loving feeling.
Topics include: the influx of commercial directors from the UK to Hollywood and how their sensibilities helped shape modern filmmaking, the Pentagon's final approval over the script and what elements they wanted changed, the insurmountable problem the love story subplot faces, whether or not Iceman might actually be the only one making sense here, why we're intrigued by the upcoming sequel, and much more!
