Talking 'Top Gun: Maverick' With Director Joseph Kosinski May 27, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s show, director Joseph Kosinski (friend and fan of the show!) joins us to discuss his new film Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, and Miles Teller. We dive into some behind-the-scenes moments from making the film — everything from convincing Tom Cruise to make the movie to how the actors had to record their own reactions from the cockpit. We also discuss the film's music, some story elements brought over from the original, and the incredible inclusion of Val Kilmer’s Iceman.

Stick around for our full, spoiler-free reviews of Top Gun Maverick. We also react to new trailers for The Grey Man from The Russo Brothers, and another little Tom Cruise picture called Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One.
