Although originally intending to review The Professional on this week's episode of the Flicky Podcast, John asked to review, midweek, Top Gun. John and Christopher delve into how the film was a cultural flashpoint in the 80s, and how it was a perfect encapsulation of the film business in the 1980s. They poke fun at the generic plot, corny dialogue, and unsubtle characterization. The boys agree that it is a fun, yet flawed, film that accomplished what it set out to do: make Tom Cruise a megastar and sell a lot of movie tickets.
