We're feeling the need: the need for speed! Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, and Georgia, as we're heading to Fightertown U.S.A. to learn dogfighting with the best of the best in Top Gun.  We're flying inverted in our 123rd episode as we discuss:


  • Who was originally supposed to play the classic tune "Take My Breath Away"

  • Who almost suited up as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell

  • What move of Maverick's almost had us checking out

  • How far is too far when you're generating hype

  • How paranoid are Hollywood Executives about height

  • Why don't they ever show Tom Cruise winning a dogfight?

  • Whether the Volleyball scene is homoerotic

  • Who turned down the soundtrack because of their own anti-war stance

  • What did the U.S. Navy do that turned Georgia & Ethan's stomach just a little bit

  • Why didn't we have a sequel to Top Gun in the 1980s

  • Whether or not Top Gun is the Best Film Ever.
