We’re back from the impromptu hiatus (Damon just forgot to make time to record a show).  This episode of Worst Millennials is about Top Gun and Days of Thunder.  More importantly, how they’re the same movie.  Since Damon already wrote a blog entry about it, we’ll just copy and paste part of it here:

“Top Gun and Days of Thunder are the same damn movie.  There’s no debating this.  There’s no way you can change my mind on this.  They are the same damn movie. Both movies are produced by the same company (Simpson/Bruckheimer) and feature the same lead actor in Tom Cruise.   I could go in-depth with the similarities of both movies.  I could talk about themes and parallels between other characters.  For example, you could probably draw parallels between the characters of Viper from Top Gun (Tom Skeritt) and Harry from Days of Thunder (Robert Duvall).  In fact, that would be fun to discuss, but I finished my film classes a long time ago.”

“The tragedies force both characters to question themselves.  But it certainly doesn’t stop them from trying to beat the cheeks of their ridiculously intelligent love interests.  Cole gets all snug in the pants after he meets Clare, a neurosurgeon after his accident.  Maverick gets super unethical by banging a civilian Top Gun instructor nicknamed Charlie.”

High brow journalism, really.
