In this special episode of our exclusive 80s Icons series, we are joined by a two great friends, Jak and Carson, to talk about one of the most iconic movies of the 1980s, Top Gun. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Top Gun as an exemplar of the MTV aesthetic, Tony Scott’s unmistakable energy, mad ideas concerning paying 25000 dollars to turn an aircraft carrier around and the cocky energy oozing from the screen. We also debate if Iceman was the real hero of the movie, the pitfalls of playing beach volleyball wearing jeans, inconveniencing restaurant patrons with impromptu piano recitals, the notorious gay reading of the movie and much, much more!

Tune in and enjoy!
