By now, just about everyone has seen Tom Cruise’s blockbuster movie, “Top Gun: Maverick”…so why are we talking about it? Well, for one thing, it’s “us,” and another is it’s a damn good movie! So if you’re one of the few who have not seen this movie and you’re worried about spoilers in this podcast, let me assure you, we’re going to spoil the hell out of this movie!
