Grab your flight suit, aviators, and baby oil: Will Menaker is in the house. The host of the Chapo Trap House podcast joins Danny and Derek for a discussion of the classic action flick Top Gun. The crew discusses Vietnam Syndrome, the lost trope of the fighter pilot, Tony Scott, and homoeroticism, as all three hosts revisit what may be the most “California” film franchise to date.
Great stuff, especially the juxtaposition w/ Hunt for Red October. Had to watch Maverick in anticipation of Part II. IMO, the sequel (especially the inclusion of another forced/awkward hetero romance) only confirms that Goose was Mav's one and only.
Title suggestion for the next one: "Call Me By Your Callsign"
