Top Gun (1986)

‘Top Gun’ may have dominated the box office in 1986, but behind the scenes the studio had lost that loving feeling. Join Chris and Lizzie to find out why Tom Cruise barfed on himself, how maverick director Tony Scott kept filming even after being fired, what changes the Navy made to the script, and which of Kelly McGillis’s scenes were added right before release. Plus discover why Val Kilmer literally ran away from his audition, and how his feelings about the franchise changed over the decades.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
