Dev Patel woke up and chose absolute (heartbreaking) chaos, directing himself in a revenge thriller that's basically "John Wick meets Indian mythology but more SAD and ANGRY." This masterpiece has Patel literally wearing a gorilla mask to get repeatedly beaten in underground fight clubs for money before transforming into a one-man apocalypse against corrupt elites.

But what makes this cinematic sledgehammer truly magnificent is how it's simultaneously the most visceral action debut since The Raid AND a scathing political allegory about class warfare that features Dev Patel's character learning knife skills from an outcast Indian communtiy. The movie swings wildly between heartbreaking cultural commentary and scenes where our hero gets his face literally set on fire while fighting in a burning kitchen.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Dev Patel's interview in Vanity Fair
• The trailer for Dev Patel's animated short, Roborovski
• The Fresh Air interview with Walter Murch, sound designer for Francis Ford Coppola's biggest movies.

It’s time to celebrate the heroes at the Bio-Cover Unit, and make fun of families who bizarrely graze each other’s faces with their fingers.

Joe decides if loving this movie is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right. Greg has divisive, controversial takes on John Travolta and Boat Chases, and an unfettered love of loud fabrics and BOOM SHOES.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Anderson, Montgomery, Berkely, Pinkus, Gianelli, and Winters.

Tom Cruise refuses to age or stop being the main character of reality itself. He can’t stop, because he has to train a bunch of beautiful people to fly into a weirdly specific trench run that's totally not the Death Star. This is cinema at its most perfectly ridiculous and ridiculously perfect.

What elevation is the hard deck right now? Is that the biggest American flag ever made in their staff room? Is Ed O’Neal in this movie?? We don’t shy away from the difficult conversations on this one. Does Joe think this movie deserves a Best Picture nomination? (He doesn’t.) Can Greg watch a Top Gun movie without thinking of a Hot Shots movies? (He can’t.) What elevation is the hard deck NOW? Has it changed?? Don’t tell Jon Hamm, who is currently looking out his window while speaking to you.

It’s time to shoot at sunset/sunrise, paint on some sweat, and play football with uncomfortable clothing. That’s right, it’s time for TOP GUN: MAVERICK.

Play along with drinking games and trope lightning rounds as Greg and Joe have the only conversation that needed to happen. Meta drinking game every time we confuse Ed Harris and Ed O’Neal.
