Let’s just go ahead and get it out of the way, Top Gun: Maverick absolutely lives up to the hype, and should be seen on the biggest screen you can find. It turns out there is still a place for a big summer blockbuster that isn’t a comic book film, and this movie shows that people of all ages will still show up in droves for “event cinema”. This week we spend our time largely gushing over our favorite parts of this absolute thrill ride of a movie.

Enjoy!
