Top Gun: Maverick
from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics
Ride into the danger zone with Mike and Dan as they discuss the first--and perhaps only--blockbuster popcorn movie of the season: Top Gun: Maverick. Dan defends his enjoyment of Tom Cruise's movies, Mike talks about a question the film asks that it can't answer, and both examine the ways in which Maverick has the feel of an 80s movie and the classic structure of the "Make a plan / execute the plan" movie. Jennifer Connelly's lighting, Jon Hamm's difficulty in containing Tom Cruise, and the Creed movies all come into play. So buzz the tower and give it a listen!
