Like many men their age, the hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, pretended to fly fighter jets around their rooms and homes after 1986’s Top Gun. Tom Cruise has shows himself to deliver heaps of action. Can he step back into that naval cockpit and bring back the sweat, heat, and speed for a new summer hitter? The show has seen the sequel and will tell you all about it.

For their 64th episode, two ace film critics, swaggering dads, and sweaty school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan turn on the afterburners to discuss this summer’s latest big blockbuster: Top Gun: Maverick. Both hosts present their personal histories with Top Gun and hash out their differing viewpoints on the big, loud, and heavy sequel. Take this show to bed or lose us forever. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate.
