Ernesto in the basement NOT watching Top Gun
Blast off and push the envelope with Matt and Craig as they watch, riff and discuss the 1986 airplane-related blockbuster “Top Gun”. And in “Seen It”, we discuss old war movies, Terry Gilliam and more.
The love scene does seem to make Ernesto want to “make biscuits” on the blanket
I’m catching up on all of your videos, but Footloose came out 2 years earlier than Top Gun.
Erick-
You are correct. I was very very wrong. Sorry about that. I acknowledged this during our year end spectacular, and recommended that people imagine I said
Stand By Me, Crocodile Dundee, or Short Circuit (a movie Matt described as “the worst.”)
Craig,
Thank you for the reply! I have to disagree about Short Circuit. I loved it, in the theater. I don’t think I’d watched now, though.
My OCD requires that I watch every episode of your show from the very beginning, and so far they’ve all been great! I too, have never seen Top Gun, and now I know that I don’t have to. Thanks for saving me a couple of hours.
Bob! I’d have to say the only real reason to watch Top Gun is to try to figure out exacly what magic it had to keep 1986 audiences in thrall. Still can’t figure it out, since it’s a whole lotta boring to me. Nice to hear that you are yourself in thrall to the harmless pleasures of WTTB. Only around 35 episodes to go.
Holy shit, apparently I missed my name being said but two years later re-watching things I caught it.
Feels really weird
