Talking 'Top Gun: Maverick' With Director Joseph Kosinski

On this week’s show, director Joseph Kosinski (friend and fan of the show!) joins us to discuss his new film Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, and Miles Teller. We dive into some behind-the-scenes moments from making the film — everything from convincing Tom Cruise to make the movie to how the actors had to record their own reactions from the cockpit. We also discuss the film's music, some story elements brought over from the original, and the incredible inclusion of Val Kilmer’s Iceman. Stick around for our full, spoiler-free reviews of Top Gun Maverick. We also react to new trailers for The Grey Man from The Russo Brothers, and another little Tom Cruise picture called Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. ReelBlend PremiumSign up for an extra episode a week, a bi-weekly newsletter from Sean, and ad-free episodes at bit.ly/reelblendpremium.ReelBlend on YouTubeBe sure to subscribe to ReelBlend on YouTube (YouTube.com/ReelBlendPodcast) for full episodes of the show in video form. Follow The ShowReelBlend - @ReelBlendSean - @Sean_OConnell Jake - @JakesTakesKevin - @KevinMcCarthyTVGabe - @gabeKovacsTimestamps (approx. only)00:04:25 - Joseph Kosinski Interview00:33:35 - The Grey Man Trailer Reaction00:48:42 - Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One00:59:51 - The Bob’s Burgers Movie01:04:38 - Stranger Things Season 4 Part 1 01:12:40 - Top Gun: Maverick01:28:24 - Our Favorite Tom Cruise Movies01:46:12 - OutroSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/reelblend/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
