Hi Patrons! I hope this Memorial Day weekend finds you well.  'Top Gun: Maverick' was an exhilarating theatrical experience. It's also probably one of the best instances of a "Legacyquel" that I can think of.

In the above video, I break down what I thought this movie did well, and what it represents as part of Tom Cruise's career (as well as for movies in general). Hope you enjoy and as always, thanks for your support!

This movie was a great example of why we still need movie theaters and real human heroes in them!

Top Gun Maverick and Creed are without a doubt the best Legacyquels. I think I like Creed more than Maverick because I'm more emotionally attached to the Rocky series. However, given I never really cared for Top Gun, it says a lot for Maverick that I loved it and what it accomplished.
