    Mac has an evolved relationship with the popular Tom Cruise movie, Top Gun, which celebrates its 40th birthday this month.The film came out when Mac was an aspiring movie critic for his middle school newspaper in Indianapolis. As he grew older, and "Top Gun Maverick" was released, his views of the films changed. But a few things still gnaw at him.(Plus, this gives him the chance to tell you that he once flew with the Blue Angels).Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Mac Engel shares his hilariously specific problems with the Top Gun franchise as the original movie turns 40 years old. From his teenage review that trashed the 1986 classic to his current appreciation for both Top Gun and Maverick, Mac reveals the absurd details that really bother him about these beloved films. Drawing from his own experience flying with the Blue Angels, he tackles everything from oxygen mask usage to unrealistically long celebration scenes that no movie critic has ever complained about before. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

He also warns that college basketball's March Madness upsets, once the only postseason experience better than Stanley Cup playoffs, are disappearing as the NCAA expands tournaments to appease power conferences and preserve their survival. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    SAT test trauma & one of the NBA's bigger issues | Engel Angle

    Sports journalist Mac Engel shares two unforgettable stories in this episode of the Ingle Angle podcast: his catastrophic SAT experience as a 2.0 GPA high school student who overslept, forgot his ID, and scored an embarrassingly low 700, and his passionate defense of modern NBA basketball against constant criticism. Engel argues that today's NBA players are more skilled and athletic than ever, but explains why media coverage focuses on negativity over appreciation of the game's evolution. A hilarious and insightful look at academic disasters, sports commentary, and how nostalgia shapes our perspective on professional basketball. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The original Jerry Jones & Donald Trump | Engel Angle

    Mac talks to longtime New York Post sports columnist Mike Vaccaro, who has been in the New York sports scene for more than 20 years. Mike has a new book out, "The Bosses of the Bronx," which covers the long tenure of New York Yankees owner, the late George Steinbrenner. Since George died in 2010, his sons have run the Yankees. When George was in his prime, no owner in sports was more visible or controversial. He was Jerry Jones before Jerry Jones.

    Engel Angle: My first triathlon was an s-show disaster that I should have won

    Having run a few marathons before, Mac never thought he could complete a triathlon. Not a strong swimmer. On Sunday in Keller, Texas, Mac completed the St. Patrick's Day triathlon - 400 meter swim, 14.5 mile bike ride, 3.1 mile run - that was a total disaster. He also shares his thoughts about the recent LA Marathon "finishers" who received a medal despite not running the entire race. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
