We watched the movie Top Gun from start to finish, and it was every bit as horrible as we thought that it would be. From the poorly constructed plot to the sex scene that looks like it was constructed from the imagination of a 13-year-old boy, this film was a master class in Cold War era propaganda and 1980s hypermasculine homoerotism. Join us as we discuss the finer points of Top Gun.

We also offer some Netflix/Amazon Prime suggestions, including the surprisingly good Mr. Robot.

Top Gun: When Misguided Hypermasculinity Goes Wrong

We talked about some of the good stuff we've been enjoying on Netflix and Amazon Prime lately, primarily Stranger Things. We talk about Suicide Squad, which was not a good movie. We did not hate it, however, and we attempt to explain out loud our mixed feelings on this disaster of a summer blockbuster. Finally, we come to grips with a world in which Nate Diaz has lost a fight to Conor McGregor.
