Top Gun: Everything You Didn't Know

Alex and Jordan take a Mach 5 look at Tom Cruise's beloved ‘80s fighter-plane flick, currently enjoying a new moment in the spotlight thanks to its long-in-the-making sequel. They dive into the tale of the maverick production team that took the story from the pages of a magazine to the big screen, explore Tom and Val Kilmer’s onset method-acting madness, and relive the time director Tony Scott had to pay $25,000 to turn a boat around. They’ll also explain how the movie was crucial in jumpstarting the home video market and describe how the famous baby oil-drenched volleyball scene came to be.
