Summer Movie Review 2022 (but just Top Gun)\ 12/28/2022

Pat Cassels did return for our annual Summer Movie Review... but it was lost due to technical blipblaps. So, instead, we rewatched Top Gun Maverick and tried to figure out what made it work. You can sync up and watch Top Gun Maverick with us, but we don't expect anyone to actually do that. If you still want to, and we are warning you it's really not something you need to do, there's a clear signal when you need to press play. Links LiesGame.com (updated with new categories!)
