S12 Ep612: Top Gun

Author: WHM Entertainment May 24, 2022 Duration: 2:18:23

This week on the program, the gang is having an absolute ball talking about the Tony Scott action classic, Top Gun! How fantastic is it to see the great James Tolkan basically playing Principal Strickland, but in the Navy? Does Kelly McGillis's character live in the same house as Carrot Top and his buddies in Chairman of the Board? And how come we couldn't get a little more Merlin? PLUS: Everyone's favorite pilot, Wolf Man, and his beloved mother, call sign Mamma Mia, chat on the phone every day about the goings on of Maverick! 

Top Gun stars Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironside, James Tolkan, and Meg Ryan; directed by Tony Scott.

For over a decade, the crew at We Hate Movies has been turning cinematic misfires into comedy gold. Each episode from WHM Entertainment finds a quartet of friends dissecting a famously bad film, from forgotten straight-to-video oddities to big-budget Hollywood disasters. The conversation is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on the funniest, most brutally honest film debate at a bar, where tangents about obscure actors and baffling plot holes are not just encouraged, they’re the main event. You’ll hear them mercilessly roast wooden dialogue, ill-conceived special effects, and questionable life choices made by characters and filmmakers alike, all while building a surprising affection for these flawed creations. This podcast thrives on the specific joy of tearing apart a terrible movie with your most sarcastic friends, celebrating failure as its own form of entertainment. It’s a consistently hilarious escape for anyone who finds more genuine laughs in a film’s awkward silence or a poorly rendered CGI monster than in a perfectly crafted Oscar winner. The chemistry between the hosts turns each episode into a freewheeling comedic breakdown, making even the most tedious movie an absolute delight to revisit through their critical and deeply silly lens. Tune in for a masterclass in comedic riffing, where the love for cinema is undeniable, even when-or especially when-the movies themselves are not.
