On the 241st episode of Piecing It Together, Darin Lundberg from NostalgiaCast joins me to talk about a movie full of nostalgia, the long awaited Top Gun: Maverick. It's more than just nostalgia overload though, as this thrill ride of a movie fits right in with Tom Cruise's latest action extravaganzas. Puzzle pieces include Creed, Star Wars, Dunkirk and the Mission: Impossible series.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Top Gun: Maverick and the movies we discuss!
