Ep 216 | Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Smothers Masculinity & Patriotism in Cheese & Diversity

Fearless with Jason Whitlock

Memorial Day weekend provided American moviegoers with the most eagerly anticipated film in the post-COVID era, "Top Gun: Maverick." The long-awaited sequel raked in over $350 million at the box office, and the Fearless Army contributed to that total. Jason went to the theater craving a Good Ranchers-quality steak from Tom Cruise and crew, but left with the aftertaste of a McDonald’s cheeseburger. “Men love it because we’re starving for masculinity.” “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim hops on from Cali and engages in some Friendly Fire with Jason over his take. Then, it’s time for a little Tennessee Harmony at the Movies. Pastor Bobby Harrington loved the biblical themes he found in "Maverick," and Pastor Anthony Walker believes the film highlights a theme that should resonate with every man. Can the pastors, along with the “Show-Me Kid" T.J. Moe, convince Jason to reconsider his views? Spoiler alert: They can’t. Plus, the crew reveal their top five movies of all time, as well as their most overrated and underrated flicks.
