7.2: Top Gun

Published: June 17, 2021, 4 p.m.

Come fly the not so friendly skies with Lieutenant Dan \u201cGambit\u201d Moren and his wingman Lieutenant Lex \u201cSnuggie\u201d Friedman as they watch 1986\u2019s seminal fighter jet treatise, Top Gun. Hot topics include surprising comedy, solidly workmanlike craft, and whether or not Tom Cruise will ever sing on film again. Programming Note: In addition to this capsule episode, which contains our discussion before and after the film, members can watch along with Lex and Dan in a full-length commentary track, available in the members-only First Class feed. If you\u2019re not already a member, why not sign up? And if you are, now\u2019s a great time to update your membership allocations and maybe throw a little support in the direction of Not Playing. Thanks!
