47 - Top Gun
The lads strap on their aviators and lather on their tanning oil as they fly right into the danger zone with the 1986 military propaganda/beach volleyball seminal classic: Top Gun. Topics include plane choreography, the disease at the heart of the American war machine, and the seemingly limitless charisma of Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.

Canada did do Thomas the Tank Engine for boats, it’s called Theodore Tugboat
the reason the movie is so homoerotic is because that's what the navy is actually like bro. stick a bunch of late teens/early twenties guys on a boat with no women and voila!
Can't believe Josh didn't manage to get an isekai joke into that truck story
whenever you open the pod with a story like this I'm just bracing for the impact of one of the worst puns i've ever heard
Wait, is the “Top Gun” VHS the reason why Gorbachev tried to sell Pepsi its own navy just a few years later?
I dunno why everyone in my podcast circles is watching Top Gun (not a complaint!) lately. Which reminds me that Phoebe Roy, of “Masters of Our Domain” and the Nate Bethea Podcastematic Universe, put forth the theory that Maverick is a he/him lesbian on the MOOD bonus ep about Top Gun.
Clearly the thing to do after getting hit by a truck is to call Celine Dion. Even if you don’t survive the crash, your heart will go on.
When you make a podcast episode about Top Gun, whose running time exceeds the original Top Gun by 4 minutes...takes my breath away
The real question is if anyone joined seaorg because of Top Gun
