TAGGED AS: Action, blockbuster, Film, films, movie, movies, Podcast
More than three and a half decades after Tom Cruise felt the need for speed in Top Gun, he’s back on the big screen as ace fighter pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick. Despite becoming a pop culture phenomenon, the original film didn’t impress enough critics for it to earn a Fresh Tomatometer, but if word of mouth is to be believed, Maverick could be the movie of the summer, if not the entire year. The film currently boasts a Certified Fresh 97% Tomatometer score and an even more impressive 99% Audience Score, and it just came off of setting a Memorial Day Weekend record. So yeah, it’s time to talk about all of that on our Aftershow podcast.
