In this episode, to honor the long-awaited release of Top Gun: Maverick, we discuss the danger zones of typecasting. We commend those who have escaped and transcended being typecast, we call out those who continually play the same parts despite having options, and we issue a stern warning to the movie stars who are currently in the typecast danger zone.
