164- Top Gun (1986)

It's time for Jake and Ryan to ride into the DANGER ZONE for the very first time (or at least the first time since they were very young kids) as they take a look back on the original Top Gun in anticipation for this week's Top Gun Maverick. How does this nearly 40 year old movie stand up to our lofty modern standards? Are there certain parts of it that haven't necessarily aged very well? Yes, yes there certainly are (looking at you Tom Cruise being a mega creep and following Kelly McGillis into that bathroom and being all like hey what's up, you tryna do this or what?) Are there certain practical effects that involve airplanes that absolutely have stood the test of time and still look absolutely amazing? Yeah, there certainly are (and man those fighter jets still do look incredible even now). 

It's a not so complex movie that has a more complex than needed impact that it's made on modern pop-culture, but Top Gun is still a movie that is deserving of a watch in 2022 if you haven't seen it before (and you're interested in seeing that long anticipated sequel). So give it a watch! Let us know what you think, if we're just being a goose about our critique of this movie, or maybe if we're indeed a couple of mavericks actually, we'd love to hear what you think!
