David and Eugene are joined by friend of the show and former naval officer Rob Koh to discuss Top Gun: Maverick. We talk about whether the movie lives up to the hype, how Tom Cruise is able to unify the left and the right, and why this is such a special franchise especially for Rob and Eugene. As always, thanks for listening! :)
(This is the 2nd of three consecutive movie episodes. The next episode will be about Everything Everywhere All at Once, and then we'll taking a break from cinema for a while!)
This episode is dedicated to Rob's friend Lt. Cdr. Frank C. Wittwer, a fighter pilot, who died in a tragic training exercise in 2006. https://usnamemorialhall.org/index.php/FRANK_C._WITTWER,_LCDR,_USN

"The end is inevitable, Maverick. Your kind is headed toward distinction."
"Maybe so, sir. But not today."
