In This Episode: Everybody Dies
TV & Film:Film Reviews
Mohlvie and Sealab discuss "Top Gun Maverick" and compare it to other gap sequels. They talk about the film's focus, the father-son dynamic between Maverick and Goose's son, and the nostalgia it evokes. They also discuss the movie's appeal to both men and women and its success as a gap sequel. Both enjoyed the film, considering it one of the best gap sequels.
Topics covered include Jennifer Connelly's performance, character development, dialogue, and music. They appreciate references to the first "Top Gun," and praise Tom Cruise's evolving acting skills.
They note both ham-fisted and campy dialogue aspects, reminisce about the original soundtrack, and mention new songs in the sequel. They joke about how impossible the NES "Top Gun" game was, and Lady Gaga recording a song for a Nair commercial. The conversation ends with a rating of the movie's sole mustache on the Escobar scale.
