    Top Gun
    May 11 2026
    This week Leonard and Guy felt the need for speed, so what better way to find such thrills than by revisiting Tony Scott's 1986 classic Top Gun?

    To celebrate the film's 40th anniversary, we delve into what made it so appealing to audiences, from the casting, the mind-blowing action sequences, to Kenny Loggin's smash-hit Dangerzone. A perfect recipe for success.

    Leonard and Guy then discuss the film's sequel Top Gun: Maverick, and why they believe it to be even better than the original.Plus, they pay tribute to the late (and great), James Tolkan.
