DANGER ZONE WITH TOP GUN,
MAVERICK. THERE YOU GO. HE IS
BACK. EXCUSE ME AFTER A 36 YEAR
ABSENCE FROM THE SCREEN, TOM
CRUISE’S CHARACTER COMES BACK
BECAUSE HE’S NOW GOT TO TRAIN A
YOUNGER GROUP. BECAUSE OF COURSE
THERE IS A COUNTRY OR SOMETHING
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EARTH,
WHICH THERE’S NO NAME, BUT THEY
WANT TO DESTROY. OKAY SO HE’S
HE’S IN THE TOM SKERRITT ROLLED
THEN. YES THE LEADER. OKAY,
LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP.
CAPTAIN PETE MAVERICK MITCHELL.
LET ME BE PERFECTLY BLUNT. YOU
ARE NOT MY FIRST CHOICE. YOU
WERE HERE AT THE REQUEST OF
ADMIRAL KACZYNSKI. A ICEMAN. HE
SEEMS TO THINK THAT YOU HAVE
SOMETHING LEFT TO OFFER THE
NAVY. WHAT THAT IS. I CAN’T
IMAGINE. DUE RESPECT, SIR, I’M
NOT A TEACHER. JUST WANT TO
MANAGE THE EXPECTATIONS. OKAY
YEAH. I DIDN’T REALIZE THAT YOU
GREG HAS PUT ON THE MAVERICKS
SUNGLASSES, THE TRADEMARK
AVIATORS FROM THE 1986 TOP GUN.
UM OKAY, SO I HAD NO PLANS TO
SEE THIS BECAUSE I’M ONE OF THE
FEW PEOPLE ON THE PLANET THAT
JUST THOUGHT THE FIRST ONE WAS
OKAY, ONCE IN THE THEATERS WHEN
I WAS 16, AND I’VE NEVER SEEN IT
SINCE, OKAY. I MEAN, I MAY HAVE
SEEN BITS AND PIECES OF CABLE,
BUT UM, BUT NOW I DO WANT TO SEE
IT BECAUSE IT’S CERTIFIED 97%
FRESH ON ROTTEN TOMATOES AND ALL
I’VE HEARD FROM ANYBODY WHO’S
SEEN THE MEDIA SCREENINGS IS
THAT IT’S AWESOME. AWESOME. IT’S
GOOD AND AWESOME. I MEAN, IT’S
ONE OF THOSE WHERE EVERYBODY
CAME OUT FOR ONCE. NO ONE WAS
COMPLAINING. I MEAN, I KNOW
PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN LIKE
CERTAIN FAMILY MEMBERS, BUT THEY
LOVE THE MOVIE. SO IT’S A GOOD
TIME. THAT’S BASICALLY REALLY
LIKE NOSTALGIC. IT’S A TRIP. SO
HOW MANY RAILS GIVE ANOTHER 4.5
4.5? YEAH WOW. I KNOW TOO. HOW
DO YOU LIKE THAT? DOUBTING ABBY
? NO BECAUSE, LIKE FIVE WOULD BE
LIKE GODFATHER. GODFATHER TO
YES, YOU KNOW. 4.5 FROM EVER
WOW. ALRIGHT LET’S GET INTO THE
BIG RELEASE ON NETFLIX. THE
FIRST VOLUME OF STRANGER THINGS
FOR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING
YEARS FOR THIS. I CAN SEE YOU
AGAIN. WELL, IT’S WORTH THE
WAIT. IT’S BECAUSE THE KIDS ARE
NOT OLDER. OKAY POWERS ARE NOW
MORE INTENSE. THE STORIES ARE
DARKER WITH THIS, AND ALSO
THERE’S A NEW MONSTER OR ENEMY
OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT
WHO IS JUST GOING TO BLOW YOUR
SOCKS OFF? IN FACT, I SEE THEY
ALREADY THAT ALREADY HAPPENED TO
ME. LET’S LOOK AT A CLAP. A WAR
IS COMING. I’M AFRAID YOUR
FRIENDS AT HAWKINS ARE VERY MUCH
IN THE EYE OF THE. STORM. I
DON’T HAVE MY POWERS. I DON’T
KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS OTHER THAN
JUST TO SAY IT. WITHOUT YOU. WE
CAN’T WIN THIS WAR. DIRECTOR WAS
THAT PAUL RISER? I THINK SO.
YEAH SO, UM, YOU WOULD THINK
THIS WOULD BE RIGHT UP MY ALLEY?
I COULD NOT GET INTO THE FIRST
SEASON. I JUST GOT TRIED SEVERAL
EPISODES. AND YEAH, IT’S
DRIPPING IN NOSTALGIA. IT SEEMS
LIKE IT WAS MADE IN 1984. RIGHT
SO WITHHOLDING, JUST GET INTO IT
. IS THIS GOOD? THIS ONE IS GOOD
BECAUSE I SAID THEY’RE OLDER
NOW, SO THE STORIES ARE GETTING
A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENSE. YOU
KNOW THEY WOULD WHEN THEY WERE
MUCH YOUNGER IN THE FIRST
SEASON. THERE’S LIKE SOMETHING
CALLED THE DOWN UNDER OR UPSIDE
DOWN OR WHATEVER. AND THERE’S
LIKE A GORGO DEMON OR SOMETHING.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS, LIKE, SO
THE MONSTER AND THIS ONE IS EVEN
WORSE, EVEN WORSE THAN THAT, ALL
RIGHT? THERE’S A TREMBLE IN THE
FOREST ONE KENOBI IS FINALLY OUT
TODAY AND DISNEY PLUS AND YOU
KNOW THEY HAVE THE STAR WARS
CELEBRATION GOING ON IN
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW, THE BIG
CONVENTION FOR ALL THE FANS, SO
THEY GOT TO BE LOSING THEIR
MIND. THIS IS PERFECT FOR THEM.
AND I’M I’M BUMMED. I DIDN’T
BRING MY LIGHTSABER. I BROUGHT
THE SUNGLASSES AND THE
LIGHTSABER. BUT, YEAH, THIS ALL
DEALS WITH EVERYONE CAN ALL BE.
IT TAKES PLACE 10 YEARS AFTER
THE REVENGE OF THE CITY, AND
THAT, OF COURSE, IS WHERE UM, WE
GET DARTH VADER FROM IT ALL LIKE
THAT. SO THIS IS ABOUT HIM ONE
TRYING TO FIND HIM TO HOPEFULLY
CHANGING BACK BUT THEN ALSO JUST
OTHER JOURNEYS THAT HE HAS TO GO
THROUGH ON THIS PLANET AND ALSO
TRY TO COME TOGETHER WITH HIS
OWN SELF. FOR WHAT HAPPENED WITH
ANAKIN SKYWALKER. YOU KNOW, AND
JAKE LLOYD, THE CHILD ACTOR WHO
PLAYED YOUNG ANAKIN SKYWALKER IN
PHANTOM MENACE. HE AND GEORGE
ARE BANKS GOT ALL OF THE FANS
WRATH AND NOT MUCH, SAID ABOUT
LIAM NEESON. BUT UH, OBI WAN IS
LIKE AS AS HIS. THAT CHARACTER
HAS TAKEN ON A WHOLE NEW LIFE
WITH THE FANS. OH, YEAH, I MEAN
AND, UM MCGREGOR. I MEAN, HE’S A
GREAT ACTOR AND DOES AN
EXCELLENT JOB. EVEN HAYDEN
CHRISTIANSEN IS BACK. AS ANAKIN
START, SKYWALKER SLASH DARK
VADER INTEREST SERIES. WE’LL
FINALLY A NEW MOVIE WITH ANTHONY
HOPKINS. WHAT IS ZERO CONTACT
ABOUT IT’S ALL ABOUT. IT’S EVEN
MORE INTRIGUING THE WAY THE
MOVIE WAS MADE, BUT IT TOOK
PLACE DURING COVID. AND SO
EVERYBODY HAS TO SHOOT ALL THEIR
OWN SCENES AND BE SEEN ON ZOOM,
SO EVERYTHING HAPPENS. CHARACTER
IS THIS GUY WHO’S A GENIUS WHO
INVENTS THIS ONE THING THAT CAN
STOP ALL TYPES OF WARS WHILE HE
DIES, AND SO HE LEAVES THE
INFORMATION TO HIS SON. AND LIKE
FOUR OTHER PEOPLE. WELL OF
COURSE, YOU KNOW, THE SAME GROUP
THAT WANTED TO DESTROY THE EARTH
EARLIER IN TOP GUN, THEY WANT TO
DO IT IN THIS, TOO. SO THEY ALL
HAVE TO GET TOGETHER TO STOP THE
FIGHTING. BUT THE INTERESTING
THING IS JUST THE WAY THE MOVIE
WAS MADE. AND I GOT TO TALK TO
CHRIS ROCK, WHO PLAYS ANTHONY
HOPKINS, SON. AFTER SEEING THE
MOVIE. YOU’RE NOT NOW TIRED OF
JUST SEEING PEOPLE IN SQUARES?
NO I KNOW IT’S SO TRUE. IT’S UH
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THE MOVIE AND
I ALSO TEACH ONLINE, SO I
BASICALLY LIVE IN THE SQUARE. SO
THAT’S THAT’S JUST IT’S JUST
PART OF THE COURSE I THINK THESE
DAYS NO, THAT THAT’S FOR SURE,
BECAUSE I LIKE THE FACT THAT
THERE WAS A DISCLAIMER AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE TALKING
ABOUT HOW IT WAS SHOT. YOU KNOW,
DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE MOMENT,
AND THIS IS KIND OF LIKE REAL.
WHAT WAS THAT? LIKE? DOING YOUR
JOB AS AN ACTOR, BUT NOT BEING
AROUND THE OTHER PEOPLE. I MEAN,
IT WAS. IT WAS FASCINATING IN
MORE WAYS THAN ONE. THANKFULLY,
UM I TRIED TO FIND MYSELF ON
DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FILM SET
. I’VE DONE LIGHTING OF DONE
SOUND. I HAVE NEVER DONE MAKEUP
AND HAIR AND WARDROBE. ANYTHING
LIKE THAT. BUT THIS FILM REALLY
REQUIRED EVERY SINGLE ACTOR TO
DO EVERYTHING IN THE FRAME. SO
ANY FRAME ANY SHOT YOU SEE OF
ME? I SET IT UP NOW. OBVIOUSLY I
HAD A YOU KNOW A SITUATION LIKE
THIS AND WE WERE SAYING IS THIS
GOOD? IS THIS GOOD? RIGHT ANGLE?
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DIDNT MY
CHARACTER. DIDN’T KNOW MY FATHER
VERY MUCH. A STRANGE WASN’T A
PART OF MY LIFE. I GREW UP. MY
CHARACTER GREW UP. VERY UM, WELL
OFF FINANCIALLY BUT BANKRUPT
WHEN IT CAME TO, LIKE SOCIAL
FAMILY SITUATIONS, SO TO HAVE
SOMEBODY THAT RUINED SAM’S LIFE,
COME BACK IN AND ASK SO MUCH OF
HIM. IS UH, I THINK FOR ME THAT
WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF
MY CHARACTER IS LIKE IT’S REALLY
THAT QUESTION OF DO I HELP THE
PERSON THAT DID NOTHING FOR ME?
AND WHY WOULD I DO THAT? RIGHT
OF COURSE, WHEN? WHEN HUMANITY,
HMM. IS IN PLAY, THEN YOU KNOW
YOUR RIGHTS TO THE OCCASION.
NANA SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTIAN
SLATER A LITTLE BIT. IMAGINE
SOMEBODY WANTING TO SEE A MOVIE.
THAT’S BASICALLY YOU KNOW,
THAT’S LIKE A ZOOM BECAUSE WE
WENT THROUGH THAT FOR TWO YEARS,
AND IT’S LIKE IT’S ALMOST LIKE
PTSD. YEAH SO WHAT DO YOU HOW
MANY REELS 2 3.5, OKAY, LIKE YOU
SAID IT FOR FILMMAKERS OUT THERE
WOULD BE A NICE ONE TO SEE JUST
TO SEE HOW THEY DID IT. OKAY,
ONE OF THE TYPES WHERE EVEN
THOUGH IT’S IN THEATERS,
PROBABLY IT’S GOING TO BE
STREAMING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE YOUR
BEST ON TV. BASICALLY ALRIGHT.
