Connor and Chandler are discussing the movie Top Gun. Chandler admitted that he hadn't seen Top Gun and Connor was shocked, calling it a class American movie like Field of Dreams. The two decided to watch the movie together and afterwards, Chandler revealed that he had expected it to be like the Fast and the Furious franchise, full of cool cars and outlandish stunts. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Top Gun was more than that.

In the movie Top Gun, the main character Maverick is trying to come to terms with honoring his dead father, who was a Navy pilot and died under mysterious circumstances. Maverick is seen as an underdog because the Navy dishonored his father and he wasn't allowed into the Naval Academy. Throughout the movie, Maverick takes risky moves in order to prove himself and honor his father's legacy. His bold and dangerous moves are a way of trying to get back at the Navy and make up for his father's dishonor. In the end, Maverick is successful in becoming part of the team and not necessarily the best, which is a personal victory for him.

The conversation also explored the theme of legacy in the latest Top Gun movie, Maverick. Top Gun: Maverick follows the story of the now deceased Goose’s son, who is played by Miles Teller in the new movie. The movie focuses on the relationship between the son and Maverick, who was close friends and flew with Goose’s dad. It explores the idea of family between the family you have and the family you choose, and the legacy that is left behind. It was concluded that Top Gun: Maverick is better than the original movie.
