So it's it's very very 58 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: humbling experience to be around this level of not only filmmaking, 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 4: but but awe inspiring power, and Tom is very much 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: a part of that. Tom is a wonderful scene part, 61 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 4: but he's one of one of the few guys who 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 4: genuinely have the title movie. 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: Star with a capitol M in a capit. 64 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah.

So 76 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: this is a huge movie for you growing up, you 77 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: would have busted you nut. You would have been desperate 78 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: to be part of this new sequel top Gun Maverick. 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, are you kidding me? 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: Had had I been able to time travel and communicate 81 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 4: with my fifteen year old self, oh yeah, I would 82 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: have first of all said, probably wear more sunscreen.

I got out of it and 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: I rang on my mates. It's sensational. I would agree 95 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 2: with that assessment. 96 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 4: You don't need to have seen the first one movie 97 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 4: to have an impact on you, for sure. However, if 98 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 4: you have seen it, there's so much in it that 99 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: is referential and as homage and very nostalgic for the 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: first one. But yes, you're correct, it does stand on 101 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 4: its own, and especially from a filmmaking standpoint, the sequences 102 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: that they were able to capture with the with the 103 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: actors in the fat and the flying sequence are truly 104 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: jaw dropping. And I can't wait for people to see 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: it on a big screen. This is not being dropped 106 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 4: on a streamer.
