Show Notes
It’s breaking box office records...and ALL THE RULES. It’s flipping CGI the bird. It’s making its stars puke. It’s been 36 years since the first ‘Top Gun,’ and we’ve got the author of Tom Cruise: Anatomy of an Actor, Amy Nicholson, to help us navigate the long-awaited, much-postponed sequel.
Then, we’ll pitch our sequel ideas for movies that have yet to get a Chapter Two.
