“I’m trying not to laugh too much but the movie just gets me. I get it and it gets me.”- Woody
“We’re going to get to a lot of the eroticism in this…I just think it’s so funny that the movie starts with such a loving look at planes and descends into boner jokes and shots of dudes’ abs.” “You got the impression that someone was going to have sex with a plane in this movie.” – Scott
Scott Fauble is joined by former Portland Pilot, Bowerman Track Club runner and 12:58 5K guy Woody Kincaid to discuss the 1986 classic Top Gun.
Synopsis: The Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School is where the best of the best train to refine their elite flying skills. When hotshot fighter pilot Maverick (Tom Cruise) is sent to the school, his reckless attitude and cocky demeanor put him at odds with the other pilots, especially the cool and collected Iceman (Val Kilmer). But Maverick isn’t only competing to be the top fighter pilot, he’s also fighting for the attention of his beautiful flight instructor, Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis).
The movie is available to stream on YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes and FuboTV.
