Top Gun: When Misguided Hypermasculinity Goes Wrong The Lowbrow Podcast

    • Society & Culture

We watched the movie Top Gun from start to finish, and it was every bit as horrible as we thought that it would be. From the poorly constructed plot to the sex scene that looks like it was constructed from the imagination of a 13-year-old boy, this film was a master class in Cold War era propaganda and 1980s hypermasculine homoerotism. Join us as we discuss the finer points of Top Gun.

We also offer some Netflix/Amazon Prime suggestions, including the surprisingly good Mr. Robot.
