Top Gun was released in 1986 and became a cultural mainstay, and now, 36 years later, we finally get a sequel - Top Gun: Maverick. How do we feel about the newest edition? Does it hold up to the original? Plus, what reviews and audiences seem to be saying so far. We also discuss the parallels between the two movies, why Kelly McGillis was excluded, our thoughts on the new character additions, and of course, Lady Gaga's ballad for the film. 

Spoilers ahead!
