Welcome to the first episode with our newly renamed podcast, Movies Worth Seeing! It’s me, Michael Pisciuneri, and today I am joined by my life partner Lisa Bonnici! On today’s show, we review the long-awaited Top Gun sequel, the movie we didn’t know we needed, but now that we have it, we sure know we needed it! Top Gun: Maverick is the sequel to the 1986 hit movie Top Gun, and stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Val Kilmer, and more.
The movie picks up the story Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, as he pushes the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodges the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it. Tune in today as we take you through the epic-ness that is this film, the highlights that make it an amazing sequel, what could have been done better, our final ratings and more than a couple spoilers. Spoiler alert: for listeners wishing not to hear about spoilers, please stop listening at [0:42:48]. Enjoy!
