Ep. 061: Top Gun is Top Box Office—Why?

"Top Gun: Maverick" is more than just an exciting US Navy thriller. It is a significant event in the culture wars. It celebrates America and heroism; additionally, it repudiates toxic leftism and glorifies testosterone-coursing masculinity. In so doing, it has the triumphant feel of a John Wayne Western, where the good guys always pound the bad guys to a frazzle. What does its box office success tell us about the American people's craving for heroism? What does the box office failure of "woke" Hollywood films tell us about the American people's attitude toward leftist propaganda? Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin discuss these culture war questions on our next show.
