Our 200th episode is all about Top Gun (for some reason). We discuss Tony Scott’s career, Tom Cruise’s ascension to stardom, the film’s ability to capture the feeling of Reagan-era individualism, and the alleged homoeroticism throughout the film. We also look at the film’s profound success, its use as a promotional tool, and why James and Alex are decidedly not gearheads. RIP GOOSE.
